• QUDs, brevity, and the asymmetry of alternatives

  Westera, Matthijs (Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC), 2017)

  Exhaustivity is typically explained in terms of the exclusion of unmentioned alternatives. For this to work, the set of alternatives must be asymmetrical, lest both a proposition and its negation get excluded, yielding a ...

• Non-linguistic effects of language switching training

  Timmer, Kalinka; Calabria, Marco; Costa, Albert, 1970- (Elsevier, 2018)

  What is the relationship between bilingual language control (BLC) mechanisms and domain-general executive control (EC) processes? Do these two domains share some of their mechanisms? Here, we take a novel approach to this ...
• Distributed prediction of relations for entities: the Easy, the Difficult, and the impossible

  Boleda, Gemma; Gupta, Abhijeet; Padó, Sebastian (ACL (Association for Computational Linguistics), 2017)

  Word embeddings are supposed to provide easy access to semantic relations such as “male of” (man–woman). While this claim has been investigated for concepts, little is known about the distributional behavior of relations ...
• Alluvial plain dynamics and human occupation in SW Amazonia during the Holocene: a paleosol-based reconstruction

  Lombardo, Umberto; Rodrigues, Leonor; Veit, Heinz (Elsevier, 2018)

  The present study reconstructs Holocene fluvial dynamics in the southern Amazonian foreland basin through the analysis of 36 stratigraphic profiles taken along a 300 km long transect across the Llanos de Moxos (LM), in the ...
• River logjams cause frequent large-scale forest die-off events in southwestern Amazonia

  Lombardo, Umberto (European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2017)

  This paper investigates the dynamics of logjam-induced floods and alluvial deposition in the Bolivian Amazon and the effects these have on forest disturbance and recovery cycles. It expands on previous work by Gullison et ...
• The unique functioning of a pre-Columbian Amazonian floodplain fishery

  Blatrix, Rumsaïs; Roux, Bruno; Béarez, Philippe; Prestes-Carneiro, Gabriela; Amaya, Marcelo; Aramayo, Jose Luis; Rodrigues, Leonor; Lombardo, Umberto; Iriarte, Jose; de Souza, Jonas Gregorio; Robinson, Mark; Bernard, Cyril; Pouilly, Marc; Durécu, Mélisse; Huchzermeyer, Carl F.; Kalebe, Mashuta; Ovando, Alex; McKey, Doyle (Nature Publishing Group, 2018)

  Archaeology provides few examples of large-scale fisheries at the frontier between catching and farming of fish. We analysed the spatial organization of earthen embankments to infer the functioning of a landscape-level ...
• An open corpus for the computational research of Arab-Andalusian music

  Caro Repetto, Rafael; Pretto, Niccolò; Chaachoo, Amin; Bozkurt, Baris; Serra, Xavier (ACM Association for Computer Machinery, 2018)

  In the medieval Islamic territories of the Iberian Peninsula known as Al-Andalus a unique style of music was formed combining local practices with Arab sensibilities. After the fall of the last Andalusian kingdom, this ...
