We are preparing a grant to do work in this area and need a bibliography of the most substantive seminal and recent work. If you have some references, or even just suggestions of where to go to find the good work, please email and I will send you a copy of the bibliography I come up with. If there is sufficient interest, I will also post it to the net. thanks very much!

Briefly, the intuition behind extension/intension is that the extension of a term is all the things it does refer to; its intension is all the things it might refer to. When Montague get round to desfining intension interrms of power sets of the extension life becomes distinctly obscure.

I heard Lakoff in Duisburg (April 1989), and found his ideas very interesting. At the time, however, there was nothing on paper about the link between imagery, connectionism, etc. Does anyone have any references, or does anyone have Lakoff's e-mail address?

Date: 22 Aug 89 09:22:40 GMT Reply-To: sutton@dcl-cs.UUCP (Steve Sutton) I am keen to know about good references, past/current projects and names of people interested in the following topics :- Word recognition and lexical access - ---------------------------------- Word senses, word recognition and the processing of ambiguous words, including : - experiments/investigations - approaches/techniques - lexical ambiguity - models of recognition/disambiguation (possibly components of larger natural language understanding systems). Also, any linguistic, psycholinguistic or computational issues related to these areas. Thanks in advance. ------------------------------ To: nl-kr@cs.rpi.edu Date: Wed, 16 Aug 89 09:02:09 PDT >From: emma@csli.Stanford.EDU (Emma Pease) Subject: CSLI event COLLOQUIUM ANNOUNCEMENT Sponsored by The Center for the Study of Language and Information and The Department of Psychology Speaker: Keith Stenning Human Communications Research Centre, Edinburgh University Title: "One thing at a time! Working memory and human reasoning style" Time: Wednesday, August 23, 1989 3:30 PM Place: Conference Room Cordura Hall ABSTRACT Psychologists have generally taken questions about the relation between classical logic and human reasoning to be questions whether the logic of two systems is the same. An alternative is that `externalised' classical calculi and `internalised' human reasoning practices are different implementations of the same logical system. This talk briefly describes an account of working memory for models (Stenning Shepherd & Levy 1988, Stenning & Levy 1988) and explores its implications the style of human syllogistic reasoning (see eg. Johnson-Laird 1983). References: Johnson-Laird, P. N. (1983) Mental Models, CUP Stenning, K. and J.
