Decomposing Antonyms?
Are the marked members of antonym-pairs such as long – short decomposed in the syntax? Büring has recently argued that they are, on the basis of evidence about the distribution of Rullmann-ambiguities and crosspolar anomalies. But the readings of marked antonyms in the complements of matrix modals seem to argue for the opposite conclusion. The dilemma that results defies a simple solution. Perh...
متن کاملGreenberg’s Asymmetry in Arabic: a Consequence of Stems in Paradigms
How different is the phonology and morphology of nontemplatic (concatenative) word formation from that of templatic (nonconcatenative) word formation? In this article, I focus on the Arabic verbal system, the prototypical example of templatic morphology, with the aim of deriving some of its distinctly special traits from basic principles. The key novel aspect of the approach is its focus on par...
متن کاملEvaluative Polarity of Antonyms
This study investigates speakers’ assessment of the evaluative polarity of the members of eight antonym pairs, e.g., fast–slow and warm–cold, that are not inherently evaluative, unlike antonyms such as good–bad, ugly–beautiful. The contentful structures foregrounded by fast–slow and warm–cold are SPEED and TEMPERATURE, repectively, but the properties that they evoke may also be profiled against...
متن کاملLearning to identify antonyms
1. Introduction Antonymy is a common lexical relation that is intuitively clear (if not always easy to define) for humans, but challenging for machines. In Natural Language Processing, antonymy detection has applications in tasks of understanding language, such as paraphrase detection, question answering, and textual inference. For that reason, WordNet (Fellbaum, 2005) includes some antonymy an...

Within the language, various sets and subsets may exist depending upon regional and social differences. Most studies of such subsets have been concerned with lexical variations. In this paper, a methodology is outlined by which the frequency usage of syn...
