Keywords: dynamic discourse semantics; possible worlds; truth-conditional interpretation; presupposition

Abstract:
Our software ReALIS1.1 is primarily intended to supply linguists with a highly intelligent device to build fragments of languages. Then (non-linguist) experts can elaborate a peculiarly “multiplied” database that offers, besides the model of the external world, hundreds of its (appropriately labeled) alternatives. According to the ReALIS theoretical framework we use, these alternative models can all be linked to human agents represented in the world model as their pieces of knowledge, beliefs, desires, intentions, dreams. Finally, (further) users can select lexical items to build sentences, the (generalized) truth-conditional interpretation of which they will be given on the basis of the actual version of the above-sketched “multiplied world model”. Our software serves not only the theoretical purpose of trying out the "pragma-linguistics" theory (by implementing it), but also the practical purpose of collecting and systematizing data in the peculiar structure due to eALIS, intended to truly capture human intelligence.
