Through the application of Chinese WordNet, the current study used the manipulation of visual field and the number of senses of the first character in Chinese disyllabic compounds to investigate the representation and the hemispheric processing of related senses in nouns and verbs. In the previous study, Huang et al. (2009) have found the ERP evidence to indicate single entry representation for...

Time cues are ubiquitous in language and the ability to interpret them is essential for understanding events during discourse comprehension. Temporal markers that signal ongoing versus completed events, like the progressive and simple past tense, prompt distinct mental event representations. However, the detailed properties of ongoing event representations remain unexplored. Drawing from both t...

Aim. To identify the linguo-stylistic and lexical-semantic features of verbalizing characters’ emotions typical for fictional diary genre. Methodology. The study was conducted using methods interpretation analysis text, continuous sampling, categorization classification, as well descriptive statistical methods. Results . revealed that predominant ways a character in diaries are implicit. showed...

Traditional models of adult language processing and production include two levels of representation: lexical and sublexical. The current study examines the influence of the inclusion of a lexical representation (i.e. a visual referent and/or object function) on the stability of articulation as well as on phonetic accuracy and variability in typically developing children and children with specif...

This paper examines a particular PROLOG implementation of Discourse Representation theory (DR theory) constructed at the University of Texas. The implementation also contains a Lexical Functional Grammar parser that provides f-structures; these f-structures are then translated into the semantic representations posited by DR theory, structures which are known as Discourse Representation Structur...

Normally, the tense and aspect systems of natural languages do not coincide and the correct translation of the tense forms needs a semantic analysis of the text or sentence which uses these forms. The problem with semantic representations is that, often, ambiguities cannot be resolved, though a remarkable effort of inferencing has been invested to the effect that the analysis of the source text...

In this paper we describe the specification of a model for the semantically interoperable representation of language resources for sentiment analysis. The model integrates ‘lemon’, an RDF-based model for the specification of ontology-lexica (Buitelaar et al. 2009), which is used increasingly for the representation of language resources as Linked Data, with 'Marl', an RDF-based model for the rep...

Constructional and projectionist approaches are often contrasted, yet both incorporate the same important assumption about the nature of the meaning of sentences with verbs and their arguments, although they differ in how much meaning is allocated to the syntax and how much to the lexicon. FOCUS OF THE TALK: a facet of meaning that both approaches see as lexical, a notion of core meaning or roo...
