چکیده

Dictionaries are sociocultural objects that can be used as underlying structures of cognitive science models. We first show that the lexical networks constructed from dictionaries, despite a surface disagreement at links level, share a common topological structure. We assume that this deep structure reflects the semantic organisation of the lexicon shared by the members of a linguistic community. We propose a model based on the exploration of this specific structure to analyse and compare the semantic efficiency of [Children/Adults] productions in action labelling tasks. We define a generic score of semantic efficiency, SKILLEX. Assigned to participants of the APPROX protocol, this score enables us to accurately classify them into Children and Adults categories. RÉSUMÉ. Les dictionnaires sont des objets socioculturels qui peuvent être utilisés comme structures sous-jacentes pour la modélisation en sciences cognitives. Nous montrons d’abord que les réseaux lexicaux construits à partir de dictionnaires, malgré un désaccord de surface au niveau des liens, partagent une structure topologique commune. En supposant que cette structure profonde reflète l’organisation sémantique du lexique partagée par les membres d’une communauté linguistique, nous proposons un modèle basé sur l’exploration de cette structure spécifique pour analyser et comparer l’efficacité sémantique des productions [Enfants/Adultes] dans une tâche d’étiquetage d’action. Nous définissons un score générique de l’efficacité sémantique, SKILLEX. Assigné aux participants du protocole APPROX, ce score nous permet de les classer avec précision dans les catégories enfants et adultes.

Developing a Semantic Similarity Judgment Test for Persian Action Verbs and Non-action Nouns in Patients With Brain Injury and Determining its Content Validity

Objective: Brain trauma evidences suggest that the two grammatical categories of noun and verb are processed in different regions of the brain due to differences in the complexity of grammatical and semantic information processing. Studies have shown that the verbs belonging to different semantic categories lead to neural activity in different areas of the brain, and action verb processing is r...

Skillex, an action labelling efficiency score: the case for French and Mandarin

We propose a model to compute two measurements of semantic efficiency of verbs as action labels. It is based on the exploration of the specific structure of synonymy networks of verbs. We use these measurements to analyse and compare the semantic efficiency of [Children/Adults] productions in action labelling tasks, in French and Mandarin. The combination of these two measurements leads to a ge...

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...

The two be's of English

This  qualitative  study  investigates  the  uses  of  be  in  Contemporary  English.  Based  on  this  study, one  easy  claim  and  one  more  difficult  claim  are  proposed.  The  easy  claim  is  that  the  traditional distinction between be as a lexical verb and be as an auxiliary is faulty. In particular, 'copular-be', traditionally considered to be a lexical verb, is in fact a prototypi...

Automatic Construction of Persian ICT WordNet using Princeton WordNet

WordNet is a large lexical database of English language, in which, nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets). Each synset expresses a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by both semantic and lexical relations. WordNet is essentially used for word sense disambiguation, information retrieval, and text translation. In this paper, we propose s...
