Linearity and compositionality in the semantics of binomial stable constructions
... interaction between two key parameters of their semantic organisation: linearity and compositionality. Linearity is understood not merely as a formal property of syntactic word order, but also as a cognitive mechanism that shapes the perception and interpretation of meaning. Compositionality is defined as the extent to which the overall meaning of a construction can be predicted from the meanings of its constituent elements. The study demonstrates that BSSCs form a continuum ranging from fully compositional ...

Reading signs and being in the world: a dual perspective on semiotics
The article demonstrates, through a series of examples, that reflection on signs relates to two distinct mental operations: the exchange of sign messages between subjects (communication), and the interpretation of signs and sign systems that lack a subjective sender and originate either in natural objects or in the impersonal domain of “culture”. This duality of the object of analysis gives rise to persistent terminological difficulties, which ...

Angiolini vs Kant: Philosophical Endeavour at the Polotsk Jesuit Academy

In this regard the legacy of the Polotsk Jesuit Academy was one of the first attempts to interpret Kant’s ideas and confront them in the framework of the Scholastic tradition. It is therefore not irrelevant to look at how Kant’s programmatic ideas were perceived at the Polotsk Jesuit Academy, one of the few centres of Jesuit philosophy ...
