Semantics is a part of linguistic by which it can be analyzed the meaning of the words and sentences of a text and identified the part of speech with regard to semantics. This is a descriptive-analytic research and it deals with studying the meaning of ‘promise’ in the Holy Quran based on principles of semantics with a collocation approach by library methodology. Also, by virtue of ...

Anonymous resources and meta statements are two of the more interesting features of RDF — an emerging standard for representing semantic information on the Web. Ironically, when RDF was standardized by W3C over three years ago [24], it came without a semantics. There is now growing understanding that a Semantic Web language without a semantics is an oxymoron, and a number of efforts are directe...

This paper addresses the question of how to account for verbal polysemy from a contrastive point of view. By examining the syntactic and semantic distribution of arguments of a selected number of English and German motion verbs, I intend to demonstrate the usefulness of Fillmore’s (1982) Frame Semantics for describing verbal argument realization patterns across languages. In this connection it ...

Users expect high and constant rendering frame rates when they interactively navigate in a Virtual Environment (VE). However, when the VE is too large to t into the main memory, the frame rates can become unacceptable. In this paper, we combine walkthrough semantics and database techniques, such as indexing, caching and prefetching, to improve the performance of walkthrough of a very large VE. ...

The development of systems that extract a frame representation of text can lead to deeper semantics being used in natural language processing. We present the development of our system for extracting frames from text. Our system is trained on the FrameNet data and tested on the SemEval 2007: Task 19 Frame Extraction Task data. We use machine learning for labeling frames and frame elements, resul...

Reification and anonymous resources are two of the more interesting features of RDF — an emerging standard for representing semantic information on the Web. Ironically, when RDF was standardized by W3C over three years ago [18], it came without a semantics. There is now growing understanding that a Semantic Web language without a semantics is an oxymoron, and a number of efforts are directed to...

Starting from the original formulation of minimal propositional logic proposed by Johansson, this thesis aims to investigate some of its relevant subsystems. The main focus is on negation, defined as a primitive unary operator in the language. Each of the subsystems considered is defined by means of some ‘axioms of negation’: different axioms enrich the negation operator with different properti...

Classical semantic information (CSI) assigns the same body of semantic information (Cont) as well as the same amount of semantic information (cont or inf) to logically equivalent sentences. A corollary of this fact is that all logically true sentences will receive a null assignment of semantic information via Cont as well as a zero measure of semantic information via cont or inf. The originator...

This paper presents a method for automatically extracting subcorpora isolating different subcategorization frames for nouns, adjectives, and verbs in the 100 mi. word BNC. The tool is being used in the FrameNet project, an NSFfunded project that is involved in producing a database and tools for dictionary-building, based on the principles of Frame Semantics. The subcorpora are used (1) to facil...

We propose to explore a new problem called audio-visual segmentation (AVS), in which the goal is output pixel-level map of object(s) that produce sound at time image frame. To facilitate this research, we construct first benchmark (AVSBench), providing pixel-wise annotations for sounding objects audible videos. Two settings are studied with benchmark: 1) semi-supervised single source and 2) ful...
