Zimmerman (1998) reports Noah Lemos' suggestion that a fact may be seen as
the obtaining of a state of affairs, where the obtaining of a state of affairs is not the
same as its mere existence. Insofar as we can refer to a state, such as, say, John
is happy, that state exists. But it need not obtain; as things are, John might be a
very unhappy person. If a state of affairs S obtains, the obtaining of S is a fact.5
Zimmerman thinks that this characterization of facts as obtainings of states of
affairs is ...
This Festschrift volume, published in honor of Samson Abramsky, contains contributions written by some of his colleagues, former students, and friends. In celebration of the 60th birthday of Samson Abramsky, a conference was held in Oxford, UK, during May 28-30, 2010. The papers in this volume represent his manifold contributions to semantics, logic, games, and quantum mechanics.
This paper studies one of the best-known quantum algorithms — Shor's
factorisation algorithm — via categorical distributivity. A key aim of the paper is to
provide a minimal set of categorical requirements for key parts of the algorithm, in
order to establish the most general setting in which the required operations may
be performed efficiently. We demonstrate that Laplaza's theory of coherence for
distributivity [13,14] provides a purely categorical proof of the operational
equivalence of ...

This text brings together the work of 15 elementary education experts who support an integrative approach to educating second language children. The paperback edition is a collection of articles from fourteen elementary education experts who espouse an integrative approach to second language education - one that goes beyond language teaching methodology - to cover a wide range of issues affecting the academic and social success of language minority children. The volume deals not only with second language development, but with the development of the whole child. Rather than focusing on language instruction, it addresses the entire curriculum, and instead of restricting itself to classroom learning, it examines the role of the school, family, and community.
Cindy Pease-Alvarez and Olga Vasquez For the last three decades a growing
number of researchers and educators interested in language development have
focused on the connections that exist between language and culture. This
interest ...
This volume offers a synthetic approach to language variation and language ideologies in multilingual communities. Although the vast majority of the world s speech communities are multilingual, much of sociolinguistics ignores this internal diversity. This volume fills this gap, investigating social and linguistic dimensions of variation and change in multilingual communities. Drawing on research in a wide range of countries (Canada, USA, South Africa, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu), it explores: connections between the fields of creolistics, language/dialect contact, and language acquisition; how the study of variation and change, particularly in cases of additive bilingualism, is central to understanding social and linguistic issues in multilingual communities; how changing language ideologies and changing demographics influence language choice and/or language policy, and the pivotal place of multilingualism in enacting social power and authority, and a rich array of new empirical findings on the dynamics of multilingual speech communities.
This volume offers a synthetic approach to language variation and language ideologies in multilingual communities.
