Derivation of temporal preposition meanings in LFG ' sglue - language
This paper investigates the deductive derivation of the semantics of temporal preposition phrases in English in the framework of the glue-language approach as developed for LFG. The meanings of temporal preposition phrases can be given as functions which we call temporal generalized quantiiers, as developed in a companion paper using a more traditional syntax-semantics interface. We show that t...
متن کاملSupporting Language Learners with the Meanings Of Closed Class Items
The process of language learning involves the mastery of countless tasks: making the constituent sounds of the language being learned, learning the grammatical patterns, and acquiring the requisite vocabulary for reception and production. While a plethora of computational tools exist to facilitate the first and second of these tasks, a number of challenges arise with respect to enabling the thi...
متن کاملAccessing newly learned names and meanings in the native language.
Ten healthy adults encountered pictures of unfamiliar archaic tools and successfully learned either their name, verbal definition of their usage, or both. Neural representation of the newly acquired information was probed with magnetoencephalography in an overt picture-naming task before and after learning, and in two categorization tasks after learning. Within 400 ms, activation proceeded from...
متن کاملLearning Attitude Verb Meanings in a Morphosyntactically-Poor Language
Word meanings are learned under less-than-ideal conditions: in principle, a word can have many possible meanings, and learners must choose the correct one with limited explicit instruction. This problem seems to be exacerbated in the context of attitude verbs, like think, believe, want, which describe abstract mental states. These verbs lack reliable physical correlates in the real world, so th...
متن کاملMeaning development versus predefined meanings in language evolution models
This paper investigates the effect of predefining semantics in modelling the evolution of compositional languages versus allowing agents to develop these semantics in parallel with the development of language. The study is done using a multi-agent model of language evolution that is based on the Talking Heads experiment. The experiments show that when allowing a co-evolution of semantics with l...
