“…Based on the electricity price data series mentioned in Section 4, for the single LSSVM approach based on B-N-D (B-N-D-LSSVM), the corresponding values of the determinacy trend, periodic item and stochastic effect at the last moment and at the same moment of yesterday from 1 to 168 h are treated as the input data series to predict three items respectively. Then, through learning the historical data, the optimized values of 'σ 2 ' and 'c' are found [36]. Finally, hourly electricity price data in the next 24 h can be predicted.…”

Accurate electricity price prediction is key to the orderly operation of the electricity market. However, the uncertain, stochastic and fluctuant characteristics of electricity pricees make prediction difficult. With the aim of solving this issue, this investigation proposed a multi-stage intelligent model integrating the Beveridge-Nelson decomposition (B-N-D) model, the least square support vector machine (LSSVM), and a nature-inspired optimization model named the whale optimization algorithm (WOA). Firstly, the B-N-D model was utilized to decompose the hourly electricity price time series into determinacy component, periodic trend, and stochastic item. Secondly, the WOA-LSSVM model was proposed to forecast the future hourly data of three components respectively, of which the optimal parameters of LSSVM were determined by using WOA. Finally, the future hourly electricity price data were computed by multiplying the forecasted data of those terms. To verify the validity of the proposed electricity price prediction model in this paper, five comparison approaches based on the B-N-D approach were selected, which are auto-regressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), single LSSVM, LSSVM optimized by the fruit-fly optimization algorithm (FOA), LSSVM optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO) models, and WOA-LSSVM without B-N-D. By comparatively analyzing the error criteria values of the above models through testing on the objective data of the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland (PJM) electricity market collected from 11 , we conclude that the constructed intelligent model in this paper can greatly enhance the prediction precision of electricity prices.

“…Several writers on quotation – mainly, but not exclusively, pragmaticists – question or sometimes even deny the significance of quotation marks (e.g. Washington 1992: 588; Saka 1998: 118f; Wertheimer 1999: 515; De Brabanter 2005: 6f). These are writers that are less prone to the ‘written‐language bias’ of studies on quotation pointed out by Clark and Gerrig (1990: 800).…”

This study examines a type of quotation -'hybrid quotations' -that has received quite a bit of attention from philosophers, semanticists and pragmaticists over the last dozen years or so. Theoretical debates have centred on the question whether the contribution to content of such quotations is semantic in essence, or pragmatic. After presenting prototypical examples of 'mixed quotation' and 'scare quoting', the two subtypes of hybrid quotations usually distinguished by specialists, I outline the two main ways of approaching them -as semantic or pragmatic phenomena -and highlight their strengths and weaknesses. After that, I present several empirical facts that may help one to decide which sort of theory is more likely to prevail eventually. In the process, the reader can get acquainted with some of the remarkable variety that hybrid quotation offers.

The representation of language within language: a syntactico‐pragmatic typology of direct speech*

Abstract. The recursive phenomenon of direct speech (quotation) comes in many different forms, and it is arguably an important and widely used ingredient of both spoken and written language. This article builds on (and provides indirect support for) the idea that quotations are to be defined pragmatically as (quasi-)linguistic demonstrations. Such a perspective sheds new light on constructions involving denomination, identification and typification -all of which are related to autonymy -and also on the possibility of quoting extralinguistic matters like sounds and even emotions. Based on these possibilities, a syntactic typology of direct speech is developed, including independent, embedded, and parenthetic quotations, with several subtypes. It is shown that quotations are grammatically opaque, and that embedded quotations are assigned a nominal categorial status upon insertion into a syntactic derivation. Thus, it is explained that a quotation can be used not only as a full argument, but also as as a nominal head -even as a part of a compound.
