In this article we describe the process and architecture theory to develop a Compiler using UML and Code generation techniques. This approach consists of using UML Case tools that generates fully functional code, and use a framework for compiler’s construction. It allows to draw compiler rules from lexical to semantic actions. The UML approach allows the reuse of lexical rules, syntactical rule...

This paper outlines an approach to the unsupervised construction from unannotated parallel corpora of a lexical semantic resource akin to WordNet. The paper also describes how this resource can be used to add lexical semantic tags to the text corpus at hand. Finally, we discuss the possibility to add some of the predicates typical for WordNet to its automatically constructed multilingual versio...

As a culture-based phenomenon which involves both linguistic and social aspects, translation has been investigated from various perspectives. The present Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA)-based study is an attempt to probe into the manipulation of ideologies in translations of political texts. A CDA approach, based on Fairclough (1989), Van Dijk (2004) and Farahzad (2007), was adopted to conduc...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the validity of measuring grammatical diversity with a specifically designed Lexical Diversity Assessment Tool (LDAT). A secondary objective is to use LDAT to determine if the level of difficulty assigned to English as a Second Language (ESL) texts corresponds to increases in grammatical, lexical, and temporal diversity. Other methods of lexical diversit...

Question answering over linked data has emerged in the past years as an important topic of research in order to provide natural language access to a growing body of linked open data on the Web. In this paper we focus on analyzing the lexical gap that arises as a challenge for any such question answering system. The lexical gap refers to the mismatch between the vocabulary used in a user questio...

In this paper, we propose a principled approach for disambiguating relations between constituent words of compound nouns whose heads are deverbal nouns, using the framework of lexical conceptual structure. The aim of this research is to reveal the complete set of lexical factor and disambiguation rules needed for application. The results of experiment for Japanese deverbal compounds and nominal...

Plesionyms, or near-synonyms, are words that are almost synonyms, but not quite. The need to deal adequately with plesionymy in tasks such as lexical choice is the basis for two alternatives to conventional models of lexical knowledge: a Saussurean approach and a prototype-theory approach. In this paper, I will discuss these approaches, showing that the latter is troublesome but the former is l...

FunGramKB is a lexico-conceptual knowledge base for NLP systems. The FunGramKB lexical model is basically derived from OLIF and enhanced with EAGLES/ISLE recommendations with the purpose of designing robust computational lexica. However, the FunGramKB interlingual approach gives a more cognitive view to EAGLES/ISLE proposals. The aim of this paper is to describe how this approach influences the...

This paper describes an approach to the analysis of lexical cohesion using WordNet. The approach automatically annotates texts with potential cohesive ties, and supports various thesaurus based and text based search facilities as well as different views on the annotated texts. The purpose is to be able to investigate large amounts of text in order to get a clearer idea to what extent semantic r...

this paper examines the semantic contribution of -?r and -andeh suffixes in persian based on lieber’s (2004) lexical semantic representation. this framework using six semantic features ([material], [dynamic], [location], [ieps] , [b] and [ci] and a principle called coordination principle studies the semantic contribution of lexical items including affixes and their functions in compounding, der...
