Download or read book Modal Verbs written by Jacqueline Melvin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-03-22 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modal auxiliary verbs have long been a nightmare for anyone learning English as a second language.This particular aspect of the English language is probably the one in which learners find the most complicated. Without context the lexical meaning of modal auxiliary verbs becomes extremely vague. With their parallelisms and overlapping meanings they become a messy business. At times the negative has a totally different meaning from the affirmative and more often than not, there is a shift in meaning according to context. Modal auxiliary verbs are used to express degrees of certainty/uncertainty, probability/improbability, possibility/impossibility, expectation/lack of expectation, and so forth. These tricky aspects of the English language are used with great frequency by native speakers. Very often non native learners of English are unable to grasp their subtleties due to their range of meanings. In this book you will find out how to use each modal. You will discover all the meanings each one has - all in one little book.

Book Synopsis Modal Music Composition by : Stephen M. Cormier
Download or read book Modal Music Composition written by Stephen M. Cormier and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is the first Companion Volume to Modal Music Composition, 4th edition. It is part of a series of reader requested, more realistic, extended study compositions in various popular and classical music genres to illustrate the compositional methods and concepts of that book in musical works ... Companion Volume 1 contains two extended modal study songs scored for amplified bands of varied instrumentation with a total duration of close to 30 minutes of music. These two study songs have the normal complexity of concert or recorded music and thus are best studied after reading the main text and the simpler study compositions contained in it. In general, these Companion Volumes are intended to be read in conjunction with the main text of Modal Music Composition as their title suggests"-- Page 4 of cover.
Download or read book Modal Logic written by Patrick Blackburn and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-08-22 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an advanced 2001 textbook on modal logic, a field which caught the attention of computer scientists in the late 1970s. Researchers in areas ranging from economics to computational linguistics have since realised its worth. The book is for novices and for more experienced readers, with two distinct tracks clearly signposted at the start of each chapter. The development is mathematical; prior acquaintance with first-order logic and its semantics is assumed, and familiarity with the basic mathematical notions of set theory is required. The authors focus on the use of modal languages as tools to analyze the properties of relational structures, including their algorithmic and algebraic aspects, and applications to issues in logic and computer science such as completeness, computability and complexity are considered. Three appendices supply basic background information and numerous exercises are provided. Ideal for anyone wanting to learn modern modal logic.

Book Synopsis Many-Dimensional Modal Logics: Theory and Applications by : A. Kurucz
Download or read book Many-Dimensional Modal Logics: Theory and Applications written by A. Kurucz and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2003-10-21 with total page 767 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modal logics, originally conceived in philosophy, have recently found many applications in computer science, artificial intelligence, the foundations of mathematics, linguistics and other disciplines. Celebrated for their good computational behaviour, modal logics are used as effective formalisms for talking about time, space, knowledge, beliefs, actions, obligations, provability, etc. However, the nice computational properties can drastically change if we combine some of these formalisms into a many-dimensional system, say, to reason about knowledge bases developing in time or moving objects.To study the computational behaviour of many-dimensional modal logics is the main aim of this book. On the one hand, it is concerned with providing a solid mathematical foundation for this discipline, while on the other hand, it shows that many seemingly different applied many-dimensional systems (e.g., multi-agent systems, description logics with epistemic, temporal and dynamic operators, spatio-temporal logics, etc.) fit in perfectly with this theoretical framework, and so their computational behaviour can be analyzed using the developed machinery.We start with concrete examples of applied one- and many-dimensional modal logics such as temporal, epistemic, dynamic, description, spatial logics, and various combinations of these. Then we develop a mathematical theory for handling a spectrum of 'abstract' combinations of modal logics - fusions and products of modal logics, fragments of first-order modal and temporal logics - focusing on three major problems: decidability, axiomatizability, and computational complexity. Besides the standard methods of modal logic, the technical toolkit includes the method of quasimodels, mosaics, tilings, reductions to monadic second-order logic, algebraic logic techniques. Finally, we apply the developed machinery and obtained results to three case studies from the field of knowledge representation and reasoning: temporal epistemic logics for reasoning about multi-agent systems, modalized description logics for dynamic ontologies, and spatio-temporal logics.The genre of the book can be defined as a research monograph. It brings the reader to the front line of current research in the field by showing both recent achievements and directions of future investigations (in particular, multiple open problems). On the other hand, well-known results from modal and first-order logic are formulated without proofs and supplied with references to accessible sources.The intended audience of this book is logicians as well as those researchers who use logic in computer science and artificial intelligence. More specific application areas are, e.g., knowledge representation and reasoning, in particular, terminological, temporal and spatial reasoning, or reasoning about agents. And we also believe that researchers from certain other disciplines, say, temporal and spatial databases or geographical information systems, will benefit from this book as well.Key Features:• Integrated approach to modern modal and temporal logics and their applications in artificial intelligence and computer science• Written by internationally leading researchers in the field of pure and applied logic• Combines mathematical theory of modal logic and applications in artificial intelligence and computer science• Numerous open problems for further research• Well illustrated with pictures and tables
