Scale structure: processing minimum standard and maximum standard scalar adjectives.
Gradable adjectives denote a function that takes an object and returns a measure of the degree to which the object possesses some gradable property [Kennedy, C. (1999). Projecting the adjective: The syntax and semantics of gradability and comparison. New York: Garland]. Scales, ordered sets of degrees, have begun to be studied systematically in semantics [Kennedy, C. (to appear). Vagueness and ...
متن کاملA Gold Standard for Scalar Adjectives
We present a gold standard for evaluating scale membership and the order of scalar adjectives. In addition to evaluating existing methods of ordering adjectives, this knowledge will aid in studying the organization of adjectives in the lexicon. This resource is the result of two elicitation tasks conducted with informants from Amazon Mechanical Turk. The first task is notable for gathering open...
متن کاملNon-standard Models of Polysemy in German Adjectives and Adverbs
This paper is devoted to the analysis of non-standard semantic shifts in adjectives and adverbs. Under non-standard semantic shifts I understand meaning changes, which can’t be described as metaphor or metonymy. Here are some examples of the semantic shifts in question, cf.: bittere Schokolade ‘bitter chocolate’ vs. bitterer Hunger ‘very strong hunger’ hübsches Mädchen’nice girl’ vs. hübsch kal...
متن کاملAnnotation Scheme and Gold Standard for Dutch Subjective Adjectives
Many techniques are developed to derive automatically lexical resources for opinion mining. In this paper we present a gold standard for Dutch adjectives developed for the evaluation of these techniques. In the first part of the paper we introduce our annotation guidelines. They are based upon guidelines recently developed for English which annotate subjectivity and polarity at word sense level...
متن کاملLow-scale standard supersymmetric leptogenesis
Strictly adhering to the standard supersymmetric seesaw mechanism, we present a neutrino mass model which allows successful standard thermal leptogenesis compatible with gravitino cosmology. Some neutrino Yukawa couplings are naturally much larger than the näıve estimates following from the seesaw formula. This leads to large BR(μ → eγ), detectable in the next round of experiments. Ratios of μ ...
