An Abstract Schema for Representing Semantic Roles and Modelling the Syntax-Semantics Interface
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a novel approach to semantic role annotation implementing an entailmentbased view of the concept of semantic role. I propose to represent arguments of predicates with grammatically relevant primitive properties entailed by the semantics of predicates. Such meaning components generalise over a range of semantic relations which humans tend to express systematically through language. In a preliminary study, I show that we can model linguistic knowledge at a general, principled syntax-semantics interface by incorporating a layer of skeletal, entailment-based representation of word meaning in large-scale corpus annotation.

Reverse Engineering of Network Software Binary Codes for Identification of Syntax and Semantics of Protocol Messages
Reverse engineering of network applications especially from the security point of view is of high importance and interest. Many network applications use proprietary protocols which specifications are not publicly available. Reverse engineering of such applications could provide us with vital information to understand their embedded unknown protocols. This could facilitate many tasks including d...
متن کاملMeaningfulness of Religious Language in the Light of Conceptual Metaphorical Use of Image Schema: A Cognitive Semantic Approach
According to modern religious studies, religions are rooted in certain metaphorical representations, so they are metaphorical in nature. This article aims to show, first, how conceptual metaphors employ image schemas to make our language meaningful, and then to assert that image-schematic structure of religious expressions, by which religious metaphors conceptualize abstract meanings, is the ba...
متن کاملGeneralized Semantic Roles and the Syntax-Semantics Interface
Generalized semantic roles, variously known as semantic macroroles or proto-roles, play a central role in the syntax-semantics interface in many monostratal syntactic theories. This paper reviews the major phenomena which have motivated the postulation of generalized semantic roles and evaluates critically some of the specific proposals that have been made, with special focus on the function th...
متن کاملDeclarative Semantics in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey
One of the modern paradigms to develop an application is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles in applications. In an application, we must distinguish between procedural semantics and declarative semantics for their implementation in a specific programming language. For the procedural semantics, we can write a ...
متن کاملConceptual Modelling Patterns for Roles
Roles are meant to capture dynamic and temporal aspects of realworld objects. The role concept has been used with many semantic meanings: dynamic class, aspect, perspective, interface or mode. This paper identifies common semantics of different role models found in the literature. Moreover, it presents a set of conceptual modelling patterns for the role concept that include both the static and ...
