This paper discusses a trial to build a multilingual harmonized dictionary that contains more than 40 languages, with special reference to Arabic which represents about 20% of the whole size of the dictionary. This dictionary is called MUHIT which is an interactive multilingual dictionary application. It is a web application that makes it easily accessible to all users. MUHIT is developed withi...

Evidence from brain-damaged patients suggests that regions in the temporal lobes, distinct from those engaged in lower-level auditory analysis, process the pitch and rhythmic structure in music. In contrast, neuroimaging studies targeting the representation of music structure have primarily implicated regions in the inferior frontal cortices. Combining individual-subject fMRI analyses with a sc...

The slack-based measure (SBM) DEA model is a non-radial used to calculate the relative efficiency, input, and output targets of different decision-making units (DMUs) based on their best peers or efficient frontier. conventional SBM crisp inputs outputs. But, it can be observed in real-life problems that sometimes available data linguistic forms such as “few”, “many”, “small”, missing data. tec...

We present a semi-automatic approach to study expressions of evaluation in academic writing as well as targets evaluated. The aim is to uncover the linguistic properties of evaluative expressions used in this genre, i.e. investigate which lexicogrammatical patterns are used to attribute an evaluation towards a target. The approach encompasses pattern detection and the semi-automatic annotation ...

The intuitionistic linguistic set (ILS) is an extension of linguisitc variable. To overcome the drawback of using single real number to represent membership degree and non-membership degree for ILS, the concept of interval-valued intuitionistic linguistic set (IVILS) is introduced through representing the membership degree and non-membership degree with intervals for ILS in this paper. The oper...

Because of the complexity of decision-making environment, the uncertainty of fuzziness and the uncertainty of grey maybe coexist in the problems of multi-attribute group decision making. In this paper, we study the problems of multi-attribute group decision making with hybrid grey attribute data (the precise values, interval numbers and linguistic fuzzy variables coexist, and each attribute val...

adopting a humanistic, communicative-based approach to semiotics, this paper aims at investigating the status of linguistic signs and their interaction with other communicative signs. the status of linguistic sign is first studied in semiotic theories spanning ancient, middle ages and modern era. based on the commonalities envisaged in four contemporary semiotic theories done in the spirit of t...
