the writers of this article seek to investigate thedramaturgy of howard barker in his the castle, staged in 1985 by royalshakespeare theatre, in order to discover and lay bare the baroque techniquesof representation in this political paly. relying on deleuze’s idea of baroquearchitecture and foucault’s theories of baroque representation, the writers tryto introduce this play as the expression o...

This paper proposes a principled approach for analysis of semantic relations between constituents in compound nouns based on lexical semantic structure. One of the difficulties of compound noun analysis is that the mechanisms governing the decision system of semantic relations and the representation method of semantic relations associated with lexical and contextual meaning are not obvious. The...

This paper describes performed research into the feasibility of creating computer-aided methods for knowledge extraction from an English corpus with the aid of existing lexical resources and analysis tools. Starting with subcategorised surface syntactic structures which give valuable information about the semantic and cognitive aspects of a (sub)language, the analysis is transferred to the abst...

In this paper, we describe the three system runs that we submitted to the I2B2-10 Shared Task Challenges in Natural Language Processing and Clinical Data. We participated in the relation identification track of the competition. Our models use a combination of lexical representation, medical semantic information, and additional contextual knowledge in combination with SVM classification algorith...

The explication of the semantics of geospatial concepts is a crucial research priority which affects various aspects of information representation, formalization, integration, and exchange. The aim of the present paper is twofold. Firstly, it proposes a methodology for the semantic definition of geospatial concepts. The proposal is based on an analysis of the semantics of geospatial concepts de...

Minimal recursion semantics (MRS) is a framework for computational semantics that is suitable for parsing and generation and that can be implemented in typed feature structure formalisms. We discuss why, in general, a semantic representation with minimal structure is desirable and illustrate how a descriptively adequate representation with a nonrecursive structure may be achieved. MRS enables a...

Analyzing the semantic representations of 10000 Chinese sentences and describing a new sentence analysis method that evaluates semantic preference knowledge, we create a model of semantic representation analysis based on the correspondence between lexical meanings and conceptual structures, and relations that underlie those lexical meanings. We also propose a semantical argument-head relation t...
