This paper presents a project that aims at building lexical resources for terminology. By lexical resources, we mean dictionaries that provide detailed lexico-semantic information on terms, i.e. lexical units the sense of which can be related to a special subject field. In terminology, there is a lack of such resources. The specific dictionaries we are currently developing describe basic French...

This paper explores the notion of lexicon embedded syntax: syntactic structures that are preassembled in natural language lexicons. Section 1 proposes a lexicological perspective on (dependency) syntax: first, it deals with the well-known problem of lexicon-grammar dichotomy, then introduces the notion of lexicon embedded syntax and, finally, presents the lexical models this discussion is based...

The purpose of this study is to create an environment for a situated English learning environment. While situated learning is easy sense-making in bilingual language learning, ubiquitous learning environment should be given as first step. The technologies adopted in this study are based on wireless and RDFID to implement a Ubiquitous English Learning System (UELS). Through the UELS environment,...

This Opinion is concerned with the development of a conceptual framework for definitions in the areas of nanoscience and nanotechnologies. It is recognised that there is a need for an overarching framework for such definitions. This framework is based on an analysis of existing definitions in these areas, taking into account the need to avoid the promulgation of unnecessary terms and the requir...

U radu se daju temeljni podatci o kajkavskom leksiku, njegovu podrijetlu, kontaktu s mađarskim i njemačkim jezikom te suvremenim pojavama u interferenciji hrvatskim standardnim (pseudoanalogonimija, najnovije semantičke adaptacije). Kako je leksik hrvatskih kajkavskih govora rubno zastupljen postojećim etimološkim rječnicima hrvatskoga jezika, ističe da teško napraviti klasifikaciju velikog bro...

In this paper, we organize a micro-world of «objects» (Cf. seats), specified by different kinds of parameters which are categorised in terms of “agentive templates”. We introduce the notion of “network of meaning” to integrate these templates. .I. This paper resumes previous studies, already set in lexicology in the intention to redefine the notion of “referent” in discourse; in others words, t...

We describe an approach to semiautomatic lexicon development from |nachine readal)le dictionaries with specific reference to verbal diatlleses, envisaging ways in which tile results obtained can be used to guide word classification in the constrnction of dictionary datal)ases. 1 I n t r o d u c t i o n The acquisition and representation of lexical knowledge from machine-readable dictionaries an...

The paper describes a novel computational tool for multiple concept learning. Unlike previous approaches, whose major goal is prediction on unseen instances rather than the legibility of the output, our MPD (Maximally Parsimonious Discrimination) program emphasizes the conciseness and intelligibility of the resultant class descriptions, using three intuitive simplicity criteria to this end. We ...

There has been a proliferation in recent years of studies on second language (L2) vocabulary acquisition from watching audiovisual materials, such as TV programs and movies. A recurring theme this line inquiry the extent to which captioning facilitates (Montero Perez, 2022; Teng, 2021). Studies have examined compared benefits captions learners' first (L1 captions, often referred literature subt...

We present a new lexicographic enterprise that aims at producing a French Lexical Network or FLN. We begin by introducing the project as such and then proceed with a characterization of the FLN: the FLN as a generic lexical model, its network structure and the different types of lexical entities it models. Finally, we focus on two aspects of our lexicographic methodology: the incremental identi...
