چکیده
This paper treats the classification of the semantic functions performed by adnominal constituents in Japanese, where many parts of speech act as adnominal constituents. In order to establish a formal treatment of the semantic roles, the similarities and differences among adnominal constituents, i.e. adjectives and "noun + NO (in English "of + noun")" structures, which have a broad range of semantic functions, are discussed. This paper also proposes an objective method of classifying these constructs using a large amount of linguistic data. The feasibility of this was verified with a selforganizing semantic map based on a neural net-

Lexical Semantics to Disambiguate Polysemous Phenomena of Japanese Adnominal Constituents
We exploit and extend the Generative Lexicon Theory to develop a formal description of adnominal constituents in a lexicon which can deal with linguistic phenomena found in Japanese adnominal constituents. We classify the problematic behavior into "static disambiguation" and "dynamic disambigua-tion" tasks. Static disambiguation can be done using lexical information in a dictionary, whereas dyn...
متن کاملSemantic Structure Analysis of Japanese Noun Phrases with Adnominal Particles
Japanese has many noun phrase patterns of the type A no B consisting of two nouns A and B with an adnominal particle no. As the semantic relations between the two nouns in the noun phrase are not made explicit, the interpretation of the phrases depends mainly on the semantic characteristics of the nouns. This paper describes the semantic diversity of A no B and a method of semantic analysis for...

متن کاملFriederike Moltmann the Semantics of Together
The semantic function of the modifier together in adnominal position has generally been considered to be that of preventing a distributive reading of the predicate. On the basis of a new range of data, I will argue that this view is mistaken. The semantic function of adnominal together rather is that of inducing a cumulative measurement of the group that together is associated with. The measure...
