We propose a system for the interpretation of anaphoric relationships between unbound pronouns and quantifiers. The main technical contribution of our proposal consists in combining generalized quantifiers with dependent types. Empirically, our system allows a uniform treatment of all types of unbound anaphora, including the notoriously difficult cases such as quantificational subordination, cumulative and branching continuations, and donkey anaphora.

We develop the theory of generically stable types, independence relation based on nonforking and stable weight in the context of dependent (NIP) theories.
In this paper we start the analysis of the class $mathcal D_{aleph_2}$, the class of cofinal types of directed sets of cofinality at most $aleph_2$. We compare elements of $mathcal D_{aleph_2}$ using the notion of Tukey reducibility. We isolate some simple cofinal types in $mathcal D_{aleph_2}$, and then proceed to show which of these types have an immediate successor in the Tukey ordering of $mathcal D_{aleph_2}$.
We use the geometric axioms point of view to give an effective listing of the complete types of the theory $DCF_{0}$ of differentially closed fields of characteristic $0$. This gives another account of observations made in earlier papers.
The Message Passing Interface (MPI) framework is widely used in implementing imperative pro- grams that exhibit a high degree of parallelism. The PARTYPES approach proposes a behavioural type discipline for MPI-like programs in which a type describes the communication protocol followed by the entire program. Well-typed programs are guaranteed to be exempt from deadlocks. In this paper we describe a type inference algorithm for a subset of the original system; the algorithm allows to statically extract a type for an MPI program from its source code.
Nakanos later modality allows types to express that the output of a function does not immediately depend on its input, and thus that computing its fixpoint is safe. This idea, guarded recursion, has proved useful in various contexts, from functional programming with infinite data structures to formulations of step-indexing internal to type theory. Categorical models have revealed that the later modality corresponds in essence to a simple reindexing of the discrete time scale. Unfortunately, existing guarded type theories suffer from significant limitations for programming purposes. These limitations stem from the fact that the later modality is not expressive enough to capture precise input-output dependencies of functions. As a consequence, guarded type theories reject many productive definitions. Combining insights from guarded type theories and synchronous programming languages, we propose a new modality for guarded recursion. This modality can apply any well-behaved reindexing of the time scale to a type. We call such reindexings time warps. Several modalities from the literature, including later, correspond to fixed time warps, and thus arise as special cases of ours.
