Based on the cross-entropy model, we quantify the informativity associated with the prejacent that . attaches to. We further explore the plausibility of applying cross-entropy methods (as well as related Kullback-Leibler divergence-based methods) across languages, as a precise mo

It has been proved that both preconditions of actions used in agent protocols, as well as assertions about the epistemic states of agents obtained for analysis purposes, need to be restricted in a particular

,A Problem for Downward Closure in the Semantics of Counterfactuals,nquisitive semantics based on experimental evidence that De Morgan’s law, which fails in inquisitive semantics, is invalid in counterfactual antecedents. We show that a unique feature of inquisitive semantics—the fact that its meanings are downward closed—leads to difficulties for Ciardelli et al.’s
