Taggin' Tallinn. Piloting Meaning-Building with Locative Content
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a pilot study for the Taggin‘ Tallinn framework of virtual community concepts of meaning-building, based on locative [1] content. The latter refers to concepts in which individuals tag locations with their own content, such as images, comments, audio, and video clips or game contents. This association is implemented in terms of a database, accessible for upload and download via the web. For an individual, an action of tagging is a kind of multimedial blog post, or an entry of a web guestbook. The focal issue is how locative content fuels meaning building in virtual communities.

متن کاملSyntax and semantics in the acquisition of locative verbs.

In this study, we directly contrast two tasks with different goals: identification and instruction giving. Speakers had to refer to a target building nearby or further away, so that their addressee would d...
متن کاملA Lexico-Semantic Analysis of Chinese Locality Phrases - A Topic Clustering Approach
In this paper, we present a novel approach using LDA (Latent Dirichlet Analysis, Blei, David, Andrew, Michael, and Jordan, 2003) to analyze synonym groups appearing in fixed frames containing Chinese locative phrases, such as [zái noun phrase (yǐ/zhī) shàng/xià/etc. biān/miàn/etc.], and to understand noun meanings related to the syntactic forms of locative phrases. We mapped the different noun ...
متن کاملTesting the Stem Dominance Hypothesis: Meaning Analysis of Inflected Words and Prepositional Phrases
We tested the hypothesis that lexical-semantic access of inflected words is governed by the word stem. Object drawings overlaid with a dot/arrow marking position/movement were matched with corresponding linguistic expressions like "from the house". To test whether the stem dominates lexical-semantic access irrespective of its position, we used Swedish prepositional phrases (locative information...
