Compositionality in Focus*
نویسنده
چکیده
(2) a. Sentences are composed by putting their constituents together step by step, with no subsequent rearrangement; b. Not only each lexical item but also each rule of composition is assigned an explicit interpretation; c. Interpretation is given in terms of model theory: the denotation conditions of expressions are defined relative to a mathematical construct which, loosely speaking, models the relevant aspects of the world talked about.^

Contextualism and Compositionality
There are two ways of approaching this issue. One is to focus on the question of compatibility: Assuming context-sensitivity is pervasive, what does that mean for compositionality? The other is to focus on the issue of whether contextualism is well supported: Assuming that contextualism is incompatible with compositionality, are the arguments for it strong enough to pose a real threat to compos...

We survey the most significant literature about compositional techniques for concurrent and real-time system verification. We especially focus on abstract frameworks for rely/guarantee compositionality that handles circularity, but also consider different developments.
متن کاملEmbodied language, best-fit analysis, and formal compositionality.
This review brings together two fundamental, but unreconciled, aspects of human language: embodiment and compositionality. One major scientific advance in recent decades has been Embodiment - the realization that scientific understanding of mind and language entails detailed modeling of the human brain and how it evolved to control a physical body in a social community. The ability to learn and...
متن کاملPredicting the Semantic Compositionality of Prefix Verbs
In many applications, replacing a complex word form by its stem can reduce sparsity, revealing connections in the data that would not otherwise be apparent. In this paper, we focus on prefix verbs: verbs formed by adding a prefix to an existing verb stem. A prefix verb is considered compositional if it can be decomposed into a semantically equivalent expression involving its stem. We develop a ...
متن کاملDid you ever read about Frogs drinking Coffee? Investigating the Compositionality of Multi-Emoji Expressions
In this work, we present a first attempt to investigate multi-emoji expressions and whether they behave similarly to multiword expressions in terms of noncompositionality. We focus on the combination of the frog and the hot beverage emoji, but also show some preliminary results for other non-compositional emoji combinations. We use off-the-shelf sentiment analysers as well as manual classificat...
متن کاملBeyond Symbolic: Prolegomena to a Kama-Sutra of Compositionality1
Consider some of the obvious differences between a printed and a spoken version of the very same English sentence. Both contain the same words, but in the printed sentence they are static ink configurations, while in the utterance they are temporally extended sound patterns. In the printed case, words are combined by juxtaposition in space; in the utterance, by juxtaposition in time. The printe...
