Project A01 develops the mathematical foundations for a theory of frames as applied in other CRC projects. It aims at an integrative mathematical theory of frames that incorporates different formalisms and formal techniques like theories of combining systems, dependence, modal and arrow logics, probability theory and game theory. The overall aim is to arrive at a compositional and incremental model of sentence processing. To this end A01 analyses event concepts in terms of temporal and causal relations, different kinds of quantification and modification as well as the relationship between formal semantics and theories of cognitive processes in neuroscience.
