Current ontology matching techniques focus on detecting correspondences between atomic concepts and properties. Nevertheless, it is necessary and possible to detect correspondences between complex concept or property descriptions. In this paper, we demonstrate how complex matching can benefit from natural language processing techniques, and propose an enriched set of correspondence patterns lev...

In this paper, we present a linguistic approach in order to achieve the object oriented analysis (OOA) process in a systematic way. The approach is based on the definition of a formal correspondence between a subset of structures from linguistic world, called linguistic patterns, and a subset of structures from conceptual world, called conceptual patterns. This correspondence provides a solid b...

We introduce TFS, a computer formalism in the class of logic ibrmaiisms which integrates a powerful type system. Its basic data structures are typed feature structures. The type system encourages an objectoriented approach to linguistic description by providing a multiple inheritance mechanism and an inference mechanism which allows the specitication of relations between levels o[ linguistic de...

The article explores coming out narratives, as its starting point employing a multilevelapproach to this phenomenon in line with model proposed by Zoltan Kӧvecses (2017),applying image schemas, domains and frames, metaphor scenarios. It describes howthese levels interact each other construe the metaphoric meaning at levelof mental structures which motivate linguistic choices narratives concerni...

It holds true that a flourishing fieldof Contrastive Rhetoric (CR) research has begun to address theway various text types and/or genres may differ across culturesand languages (Corner, 1996).  Very much in line withthis development, this study was an attempt to characterizethe linguistic structures of headlines in the sports section of 2 English newspapers: one non-Iranian (The Times) and one ...

Recently, the focus of complex networks research has shifted from the analysis of isolated properties of a system toward a more realistic modeling of multiple phenomena multilayer networks. Motivated by the prosperity of multilayer approach in social, transport or trade systems, we propose the introduction of multilayer networks for language. The multilayer network of language is a unified fram...

Current (computational) linguistic theories have developed specific fos'malisllls for representing linguistic phenomena such as unbounded dependencies, relatives, etc, In this contribution we present a model el linguistic structures storing and accessing, which accounts for the same phenomena in a procedural way. Such a model has been implemented in the frame of an ATN parser.

Signs, which are the domain of inquiry in semiotics, have a complex ontology. Apart from being used—adequate knowledge provided—by communicators, and recognized as being decomposable into smaller elements and aggregatable to larger structures, they are also meant to be understood. This is a consequence of their manifold identity as compound physical objects with real world extensions in space-t...

Inferior frontal regions in the left and right hemisphere support different aspects of language processing. In the classic model, left inferior frontal regions are mostly involved in processing based on phonological, syntactic and semantic features of language, whereas the right inferior frontal regions process paralinguistic aspects like affective prosody. Using DTI-based probabilistic fiber t...
