The study of lexical semantics has produced a systematic analysis of relationships between content words that has greatly bene ted both lexical search tools and natural language processing systems. We describe research toward a common algorithmic core for these two applications. We rst introduce a database system called FreeNet that facilitates the description and exploration nite binary relati...

abstract using rhetorical figures in specialized languages like the language of newspaper headlines is common. the present study attempted to conduct a contrastive analysis of the english and persian sport newspaper headlines related to the 2014 fifa world cup. toward this end, a corpus consisting of 400 english and 400 persian headlines published during 12th of june to 13th of july, 2014 was c...

Specifically, analysis focuses on personifying metaphors related semantic class ‘Language and speech’ lexical-semantic group Information search receipt’. study aims determine functioning these lexical units poetry, identify classes objects personification they are combined with, es...

We are interested in bridging the world of natural language and the world of the semantic web in particular to support natural multilingual access to the web of data. In this paper we introduce a new type of lexical ontology called interlingual lexical ontology (ILexicOn), which uses semantic web formalisms to make each interlingual lexical unit class (ILU) support the projection of its semanti...

This study investigates the effects of teaching semantic radicals in inferring the meanings of unfamiliar characters among nonnative Chinese speakers. A total of 54 undergraduates majoring in Chinese Language from a university in Hanoi, Vietnam, who had 1 year of learning experience in Chinese were assigned to two experimental groups that received instructional intervention, called "old-for-new...

Language disorder is defined as a of the acquisition, comprehension or expression spoken and/or written language that may be expressed in one more aspects system including phonology, semantics, morphology, syntax and pragmatics. Difficulties at level morphology are by far most recognizable researched linguistic aspects, while research on other has been left aside. The aim this study was to dete...

We present the lexico-semantic foundations underlying a multilingual lexicon the entries of which are constituted by so-called subwords. These subwords reflect semantic atomicity constraints in the medical domain which diverge from canonical lexicological understanding in NLP. We focus here on criteria to identify and delimit reasonable subword units, to group them into functionally adequate sy...

One of the essential aspects is described of an expert system (called LEXICOGRAPHER), designed to supply the user with diverse information about Russian words, including bibliographic information concerning individual lexical entries. The lexical database of the system contains semantic information that cannot be elicited from (he existing dictionaries. TJie priority is given to semantic featur...

This paper describes the application of the Lexical Markup Framework (LMF) for standardizing lexical-semantic resources in the context of NLP. More specifically, we highlight the question how lexical-semantic resources can be made semantically interoperable by means of LMF and ISOCat. The LMF model UBY-LMF, an instantiation of LMF specifically for NLP, serves as an example to illustrate the pat...

Semantic lexical resources play an important part in both linguistic study and natural language engineering. In Lancaster, a large semantic lexical resource has been built over the past 14 years, which provides a knowledge base for the USAS semantic tagger. Capturing semantic lexicological theory and empirical lexical usage information extracted from corpora, the Lancaster semantic lexicon prov...
