This article deals with Russian derived verbs of behaviour, formed on the basis substantive and adjectival stems by means suffixation. The aim analysis is to identify characterize structural, lexical designative specificity this class words from derivational-semantic aspect. study showed that four word-formation models are most productive popular in speech those include suffixes-nicha(t?), -stv...

the semantic network of the preposition 'ba' in persian: a cognitive study as one of the widely used prepositions in persian, 'ba' (i.e. with) may also function as an adjective particle or affix. this paper studies various meanings of preposition 'ba' within a cognitive lexical semantics framework. it aims to show that the various meanings of this preposition do not emerge randomly. drawing the...

Author’s note: This document is a slightly updated and reformatted extract from a grant proposal to the ONR. As a proposal, it aims describe useful directions while reviewing existing and pilot work; it has no pretensions to being a systematic, rigorous, or entirely coherent scholarly work. On the other hand, I’ve found that it provides a useful overview of a few ideas on the architecture of na...

Drawing on a growing database of systematic relationships between word-senses, the authors argue that a significant class of these represent Lexical Implication Rules, a set of formal rules within the domain of lexical semantics; these they distinguish from other types of semantic relation more closely dependent on metaphor and world-knowledge. Some formal properties of Lexical Implication Rule...

We discuss the model theory of two popular approaches to lexical semantics and their relation to transcendental logic.

In computational linguistics there is growing insight that high-quality NLP applications for information access (question anwering, etc.) are in need of deeper linguistic analysis, in particular, semantic analysis. A bottleneck for semantic processing is the lack of large-scale domain-independent lexical semantic resources. While WordNets for several languages are important lexical resources fo...

Oral and written traditions already existed a long time ago which are highlighted through various high value work. These works processed as medium to convey words of advice, reprimand, satire philosophy guide for the readers. The purpose this study is inquisitive semantics in strange conversational genre folklore. objectives identify utterances that display behaviors were opposite norms life an...

In this paper, we describe the system we submitted to the SemEval-2012 Lexical Simplification Task. Our system (mmSystem) combines word frequency with decompositional semantics criteria based on syntactic structure in order to rank candidate substitutes of lexical forms of arbitrary syntactic complexity (oneword, multi-word, etc.) in descending order of (cognitive) simplicity. We believe that t...

Motivated by theories of early language development in children we investigate the contribution of affective features to early acquisition of lexical semantics. For the task of semantic similarity between words, semantic and affective spaces are modeled using network-based distributed semantic models. We propose a method for constructing semantic activations from a combination of lexical and af...
