Using Case Prototypicality as a Semantic Primitive
نویسندگان
چکیده
A lexicon is essential to provide a proper semantic analysis of linguistic expressions. Thus, much work has been done to build one automatically. However, the results were not enough to define word meaning, but no more than a kind of thesaurus or taxonomy. In this paper, we present a new method that is not only more practical and efficient for implementing on computers, but also more reasonable in view of psycholinguistics. We first note that componential analysis is not real in our cognitive system. We define word meaning by a set of Case prototypicalities. We show that this knowledge can be constructed by supervised machine learning on the basis of Case particles and the collocational information from a large corpus.

Prototypicality effects in global semantic description of objects
We propose a new approach to face the semantic features descriptions of objects based in the prototypicality effects of prototypes theory. Our descriptor, called global semantic descriptor, is capable of coding and storing a semantic (central and peripheral) meaning of object. Our model compute the semantic prototype of object using features extracted by CNN-classifications models. We propose a...

متن کاملVerbs Change More than Nouns: a Bottom-up Computational Approach to Semantic Change
Linguists have identified a number of types of recurrent semantic change, and have proposed a number of explanations, usually based on specific lexical items. This paper takes a different approach, by using a distributional semantic model to identify and quantify semantic change across an entire lexicon in a completely bottom-up fashion, and by examining which distributional properties of words...
متن کاملDetecting the Organization of Semantic Subclasses of Japanese Verbs
This paper describes an approach to detect the organization of semantic subclasses of Japanese verbs. First, we classify verbs along two dimensions: thematic and aspectual. In the thematic dimension, we exploit the pattern of case marking particles which are attached to arguments of verbs. In the aspectual dimension, we exploit the classi cation of adverbs which modify verbs in a corpus. By com...
متن کاملThe Semantics of the Word Istikbar (Arrogance) in the Holy Quran based on Syntagmatic Relations(A Case Study of Semantic Proximity and Semantic Contrast)
The word istikbar (arrogance) is one of the key words in the monotheistic system of the Quran, which has found a special status as a special feature of the opponents and adversaries of the call to the truth. Given the prominent role of this issue in the human life system and its provision of corruption and moral deviations, it is necessary to represent the nature of the elements that make up th...
