چکیده

In this introductory text, we present some of the main lexical semantics paradigms frequently used in Computational Linguistics circles. Most of the elements presented here come from different linguistic traditions. To make the text homogeneous, we have somewhat reformulated or simplified some of them. We successively present the notions of argument structure and thematic roles, the notion of a network of word-senses, as embodied in WordNet, the Lexical Conceptual Structure and the Generative Lexicon.

The role of Persian causative markers in the acquisition of English causative verbs

     This project investigates the relationship between lexical semantics and causative morphology in the acquisition of causative/inchoative-related verbs in English as a foreign language by Iranian speakers. Results of translation and picture judgment task show although L2 learners have largely acquired the correct lexico-syntactic classification of verbs in English, they were constrained by ...

Lexical Semantics and Selection of TAM in Bantu Languages: A Case of Semantic Classification of Kiswahili Verbs

The existing literature on Bantu verbal semantics demonstrated that inherent semantic content of verbs pairs directly with the selection of tense, aspect and modality formatives in Bantu languages like Chasu, Lucazi, Lusamia, and Shiyeyi. Thus, the gist of this paper is the articulation of semantic classification of verbs in Kiswahili based on the selection of TAM types. This is because the sem...

Lexical and World Knowledge: Theoretical and Applied Viewpoints

Three discussion points are addressed from two perspectives: that of an anthropological tradition in cognitive science, and that of application--oriented natural language processing. From the cognitive perspective, knowledge of the world is not as influenced by linguistic semantics as we are tempted to think. From the applied NLP perspective, the distinction between world and lexical knowledge ...

When the Generative Lexicon meets Computational Semantics

Computational semantics and lexical semantics have so far mostly been studied separately. As a result, computational semantics often constructs meanings with poor or little lexical sense, while lexical semantics generally only apply to simple and small phrases (as opposed to complete sentences). We present here a general framework to incorporate lexical semantics information originating from a ...

Dynamic Categorization of Semantics of Fashion Language: A Memetic Approach

Categories are not invariant. This paper attempts to explore the dynamic nature of semantic category, in particular, that of fashion language, based on the cognitive theory of Dawkins’ memetics, a new theory of cultural evolution. Semantic attributes of linguistic memes decrease or proliferate in replication and spreading, which involves a dynamic development of semantic category. More specific...
