Introduction: Cognitive linguists believe that metaphor is a cognitive phenomenon, and that what appears in language is just the aspect of cognitive phenomenon Metaphor is one of the basic interdisciplinary concepts that has been paid more attention to its fundamental role in various aspects of psychology, medicine, including cancer in recent years. Methods:. From the point of view of cognitiv...

Background. In linguistics, it is customary to study individual language phenomena at one level of the system. Despite this rather artificial demarcation, obvious that units all structural levels actively interact with each other. This can often be traced, in particular, various transitional phenomena, which are adverbial equivalents word modern Ukrainian – semantically coherent, but differentl...

A fundamental problem in Natural Language Processing is the integration of syntactic and semantic constraints. In this paper we describe a new approach for the integration of syntactic and semantic constraints which takes advantage of a learned memory model. Our model combines localist representations for the integration of constraints and distributed representations for learning semantic const...

This paper presents a procedure to automaticafly learn German prepositional subcategofization frames fzom text corpora. It is based on shallow parsing techniques employed to identify high-accuracy cues for prepositional frames, the EM algorithm to solve the PP attachment problem implicit in the task, and a method to rank the evidence for subcategorization provided by the collected data.

when studying russian morphology, one can distinguish two categories. these categories are “grammatical” and “lexico-grammatical”. grammatical categories can be specified through a series of grammatical features of words. considering different criteria, russian grammarians and linguists divide grammatical categories of their language into different types. in determining lexico-grammatical types...

This article describes a new theory of prepositional reasoning, that is, deductions depending on;/ or, and, and not. The theory proposes that reasoning is a semantic process based on mental models. It assumes that people are able to maintain models of only a limited number of alternative states of affairs, and they accordingly use models representing as much information as possible in an implic...

After receiving research ethics approval from the review boards at three teaching hospitals affiliated with two universities in urban Ontario, Canada, we asked clinical and educational leaders in each hospital to identify inter-professional clinical health care teams with reputations for strong collaborations and managerial/administrative support. These prepositions require the reader to sift t...

Considerable literature explores the contribution of genre teaching in English academic writing. The role of this approach in developing academic writing of Iranian EFL students, however, has been underresearched. This study investigated the implications of using this approach with a class of undergraduate students in Iran. The current study reports on the findings of a project which employed a...

We propose a number of unsupervised methods for extracting prepositional verbs (e.g. refer to, look for) from corpus data, based on linguistic tests and/or statistical measures. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the individual techniques over a prepositional verb deep lexical acquisition task, and go on to document the successes of an unsupervised classifier combination method.
