Figurative Language Classification of English Manner of Motion Verbs for a Machine Translation System

Being able to differentiate between figurative and literal words and phrases is useful for a variety of natural language processing tasks, including machine translation. In this project, I implemented a linear classifier with a logistic loss function to distinguish between figurative and literal uses of English manner of motion verbs. The feature inputs to this models were the lemma of the mann...

Then, the listener receives codes and decodes them in order to understand the information from which he can perform a re...

Frame Semantics as a framework for describing polysemy and syntactic structures of English and German motion verbs in contrastive computational lexicography

This paper addresses the question of how to account for verbal polysemy from a contrastive point of view. By examining the syntactic and semantic distribution of arguments of a selected number of English and German motion verbs, I intend to demonstrate the usefulness of Fillmore’s (1982) Frame Semantics for describing verbal argument realization patterns across languages. In this connection it ...
