This paper proposes a framework for representing cross-lingual/interlingual lexical semantic correspondences that are expected to be recovered through a series of on-demand/on-the-fly invocations of a lexical semantic matching process. One of the central notions of the proposed framework is a pseudo synset, which is introduced to represent a cross-lingual/multilingual lexical concept, jointly d...

This paper deals with the development of the Semantic Web framework for very large ontologies. The Semantic Web is often associated with specific XML-based standards for semantics, such as RDF and OWL. Application of lexical ontologies such as WordNet and others for different tasks on the Semantic Web requires their representation in RDF and/or OWL formats with possibility of the different onto...

in this study, van dijk’s (1998) model of cda was utilized in order to examine the representation of iran’s nuclear program in editorials published by british news casting companies. the analysis of the editorials was carried out at two levels of headlines and full text stories with regard to the linguistic features of lexical choices, nominalization, passivization, overcompleteness, and voice....

The importance and role of multi-word expressions (MWE) in the description and processing of natural language has been long recognized. However, multi-word information has often been relegated to the marginal role of idiosyncratic lexical information. The need for MWE lexicons grows even more acute for multi-lingual applications, for which (sometimes complex) correspondences must be identified,...

In this paper we describe two geometrical models of meaning representation, the Semantic Atlas (SA) and the Automatic Contexonym Organizing Model (ACOM). The SA provides maps of meaning generated through correspondence factor analysis. The models can handle different types of word relations: synonymy in the SA and co-occurrence in ACOM. Their originality relies on an artifact called 'cliques' a...

Abstract We introduce the blueprint of Ontogenesis Model L2 Lexical Representation (OM) that focuses on development lexical representations. The OM has three dimensions: linguistic domains (phonological, orthographic, and semantic), mappings between domains, networks model assumes fuzziness is a pervasive property lexicon: most representations are low resolution ontogenetic curve their does not...

Computer programs that make inferences about natural language are easily fooled by the often haphazard relationship between words and their meanings. This thesis develops Lexical Semantic Analysis (LxSA), a general-purpose framework for describing word groupings and meanings in context. LxSA marries comprehensive linguistic annotation of corpora with engineering of statistical natural language ...

We present a transition-based system that jointly predicts the syntactic structure and lexical units of a sentence by building two structures over the input words: a syntactic dependency tree and a forest of lexical units including multiword expressions (MWEs). This combined representation allows us to capture both the syntactic and semantic structure of MWEs, which in turn enables deeper downs...

This article presents the semantic layer of Walenty—a new valence dictionary of Polish predicates, with a number of novel features, as compared to other such dictionaries. The dictionary contains two layers, syntactic and semantic. The syntactic layer describes syntactic and morphosyntactic constraints predicates put on their dependants. In particular, it includes a comprehensive and powerful p...
