This thesis presents the architecture and implementation of a query system resulted from a domain-specific conceptual data modeling and querying methodology. The query system is built for a high level conceptual query language that supports dynamically userdefined domain-specific functions and application-specific functions. It is DBMSindependent and can be translated to SQL and OQL through a n...

This paper examines the implications of cross-linguistic multifunctionality patterns, as described by semantic maps, in terms of mental representation, that is, to what extent these patterns tell us something about the existence of a relationship between different conceptual situations that is perceived by speakers and is arguably represented in a speaker’s mind. By conceptual situation is mean...
