  Universal quantification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This indicates the importance of the domain of discourse, which specifies which values n is allowed to take.
Further information on using domains of discourse with quantified statements can be found in the Quantification article.
But in particular, note that if you wish to restrict the domain of discourse to consist only of those objects that satisfy a certain predicate, then for universal quantification, you do this with a logical conditional.

 Existential quantification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In predicate logic, an existential quantification is the predication of a property or relation to at least one member of the domain.
This demonstrates the importance of the domain of discourse, which specifies which values the variable n is allowed to take.
But in particular, note that if you wish to restrict the domain of discourse to consist only of those objects that satisfy a certain predicate, then for existential quantification, you do this with a logical conjunction.

 A Framework for Architectural Discourse
Architectural discourse must account for more than this because the architectural process may result not only in an evolution of the structure of a complex; it may also result in shifting the boundary between those aspects which are systematised and those that are not.
The architectural discourse is most efficiently conducted in terms of solution concepts and both the problem owner and the solution provider have more or less clear conceptions of what they expect a solution to look like even if its introduction may represent a significant change for the using and owning enterprise.
Architectural discourse is concerned with the articulation of problems and policies and their resolution and implementation through the formulation of solutions.

 Sequence and Emphasis in Automated Domain-Independent Discourse Generation
Such discourse results from characteristics of semantics that abstract from the meaning of the semantics itself but are based on the occurrence of the semantic relations only.
It will be interesting to think about development of semantic structures that let domain discourse experts specify generation of perspectives of presentations by means of discourse constructs, in the absence of an exact knowledge of the attributes that occur in retrieval results.
Principles for discourse generation that are independent of specific domain semantics allow automatic generation of narrative presentations from the contents of multiple repositories in web environments, irrespective of their application field.

 BOOK OF INSTRUMENTS: THE DOMAIN OF A THING            
It is difficult, then, to transcend this secondary (or higher-order) position and to look at the role of primary relations in the first domain of discourse (or of any kind of relation in the domain where it does relate things to each other).
In the first domain of discourse a nonbasic, primary thing exists, is a thing ('something') and has a thing ('something': at least an attribute and perhaps a component part).
In the second domain proper, primary attributes and relations are nonbasic, secondary things which exist, which are something and which have something, namely secondary attributes, and also secondary relations with other secondary things.

Our initial intuition was that a weighting by domain of discourse would resolve a large number of cases of semantic ambiguity, so that if respondents have been talking a lot about clothing, the clothing sense of boot will be more likely than the vehicle part sense.
This reflected a large number of ambiguities which were not accounted for by domain of discourse; the actual domain weighting technique had an error rate of only around 4% of those words affected by this method.

 Empirical Methods in Discourse: Interpretation & Generation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
To date, much work in computational theories of discourse has focused on specifying the mechanisms underlying a particular discourse phenomenon.
However developing the robust, broad coverage, theories of discourse that are needed in today's systems requires an empirical basis.
This symposium aims to investigate empirical methods that can be used in the development and evaluation of computational theories of discourse, and develop a set of shared resources for the computational discourse community.

 Hackstadt's Oral Comprehensive Exam Position Paper: Chapter 2
But it does strongly suggest that a common "domain of discourse" [ASWB95] is needed if research collaborations to support metacomputing for computational science are to be successful.
Central to the requirement of a domain-specific approach is the development of a "domain model," the goal of which is to standardize the terminology of the problem domain and the descriptions of specific problems to be solved in the domain.
Orienting software development around particular domains has the desirable effect of limiting the scope of the software so that a general solution is neither required or attempted.

 BOOK OF INSTRUMENTS: LOGICAL DOMAINS OF DISCOURSE            
While the domain of discourse which may be selected in logics is always restricted in some sense, one may pick out any kind of thing (perceptible, fictional or potential) one likes or believes in, and one may construct whatever fancy predicate or predicate expression one feels desire for.
In logics a domain of discourse may encompass all these fictional entities besides (really) existing ones.
What is even more interesting from the systematic point of view is that such a domain may include both discrete individuals and the parts of those individuals, from which they are not distinct (so long as all these individuals are definite, distinguishable objects or things).

 Discourse and Discipline in the Digital Domain:
And, those who are now teaching and learning with such technologies on campuses around the world must rededicate themselves to shielding what is still worth saving in traditional universities from mindless economic rationalization by reinventing much of their universities as virtual research, learning, and service communities.
Learned discourse already is adapting to the on-line salon of e-mail exchanges, chat rooms, use groups, and list serves in ways that are accelerating the diffusion of research results, broadening access to scholarly debate, redefining the agendas of research programs, and eroding the closed authority of disciplinary experts.
On the contrary, research and publication in the digital domain increasingly represent moves toward new types of discourse, innovative changes in the scholarly document, and shapeshifting alterations in many traditional disciplines.

 Intentions And Information In Discourse - Asher, Lascarides (ResearchIndex)
Abstract: This paper is about the flow of inference between communicative intentions, discourse structure and the domain during discourse processing.
We augment a theory of discourse interpretation with a theory of distinct mental attitudes and reasoning about them, in order to provide an account of how the attitudes interact with reasoning about discourse structure.
INTRODUCTION The flow of inference between communicative intentions and domain information is often essential to discourse processing.

); (3) a discourse domain around the complementizer that, which links an embedded clause to a main clause (I know that this is true or I wonder whether this is true).
Second, differences between languages could be explained by how the function words, and the domains they define, were used.
For instance, the so-called verb-second languages such as German, Middle English, Dutch, and Swedish move the verb to the complementizer domain, whereas languages such as English refrain from doing so.

 Externalism and the Production of Discourse   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
For example, in the study of discourse production, cognitivists equate the activity of writing with mental activity, and they say things like “the process of writing is best understood as a set of distinctive thinking processes which writers orches­trate and organize during the act of composing” (Rower and Hayes 366).
When we produce discourse, we presuppose that an interpreter will assume that we intend him or her to hold our sentences true, and in a reciprocal manner, we will attribute beliefs to the interpreter that agree with our own.
Although Davidson clearly privileges spoken discourse (and I believe he is wrong to do so) his externalist description of communicative interaction still assesses significant consequence for written discourse.

In order to explore the relationship of control and initiative to discourse processes like centering, we analyze the distribution of four different classes of anaphora for two data sets.
The analysis suggests that discourse participants often mutually agree to a change of topic.
We also compared initiative in Task Oriented and Advice Giving dialogues and found that both allocation of control and the manner in which control is transferred is radically different for the two dialogue types.
