Selectional restrictions, types and categories
نویسنده
چکیده
The expressions of a language distinguish between many different types of objects. These types can affect how the meanings of these expressions combine. This paper provides a formal picture of the process of meaning combination in a richly typed framework.

Modeling selectional restrictions in a relational type system
Selectional restrictions are semantic constraints on forming certain complex types in natural language. The paper gives an overview of modeling selectional restrictions in a relational type systemwith morphological and syntactic types. We discuss some foundations of the system and ways of formalizing selectional restrictions.
متن کاملOn Nonprimary Selectional Restrictions
This paper argues for non-primary cand s-selectional restrictions of verbs in computing nonprimary predicatives such as resultatives, depictives, and manners. Our discussion is based both on the selection violations in the presence of nonprimary predicates and on the cross-linguistic and language-internal variations of categorial and semantic constraints on nonprimary predicates. We claim that ...
متن کاملGrounding the Ontology on the Semantic Interpretation Algorithm
Some reorganizations and modifications to the WordNet ontology are explained. These changes have been suggested by extensive testing of the ontological categories with an algorithm for semantic interpretation The algorithm is based on predicates that have been defined for WordNet verb classes. The selectional restrictions of the predicates are WordNet ontological categories.
متن کاملVerb Alternations and Japanese : How, What and Where
We set out to empirically identify the range and frequency of basic verb alternation types in Japanese, through analysis of the Goi-Taikei Japanese pattern-based valency dictionary. This is achieved through comparison of the selectional preference annotation on corresponding case slots, based on the assumption that selectional preferences are preserved under alternation. Three separate extracti...
متن کاملIncorporating Selectional Restrictions into HPSG
This article is concerned with integrating the phenomenon of selectional restrictions in a formal grammar theory. Firstly, the question of treating selectional restrictions purely in the semantic module is discussed, as there are some contextual (or pragmatic) influences, which can repair the ill-formedness of violated selectional restrictions. Secondly, we shed light on the stucture of pragmat...
