Nonveridicality and Evaluation: Theoretical, Computational and Corpus Approaches [Kietas viršelis]

This work for linguistics scholars presents theoretical and empirical work on discourse analysis, specifically the ways in which evaluation and subjectivity are interpreted in context, with context sometimes being determined by the presence of nonveridical markers and sometimes by other discourse phenomena such as coherence relations.Nonveridicality and evaluation are examined in several European languages: English, German, Greek, French, and Dutch. The chapters are divided into three sections based on the linguistic perspectives adopted by the contributors. Part 1 covers evaluation and nonveridicality in semantics. Part 2 deals with evaluation, nonveridicality, and coherence in computational modeling. Part 3 offers empirical perspectives on corpus studies on evaluation and coherence in nonveridical contexts, qualitative description of texts, and computational methods.
