The aim of this paper is to compare the discourse structures proposed in RST, SDRT and dependency DAGs which extend the semantic level of MTT for discourses. The key question is the following: do these formalisms allow the representation of all the discourse structures which correspond to felicitous discourses and exclude those which correspond to infelicitous discourses? Hence the term of “str...

conforming to the nature of human being, justice is some concept that has been the issue of various theological and humanitarian discussions throughout history. this concept has been reviewed from different aspects. applying izutsu's method of semantics, the present paper is analyzing the semantic instruction of the word “justice” based on the holy quran verses. on the basis of semantic sy...

We are interested in a graph-based Knowledge Representation formalism that would allow for the representation, manipulation, query, and reasoning over dependency structures, and linguistic knowledge of the Explanatory and Combinatorial Dictionary in the Meaning-Text Theory framework. Neither the semantic web formalisms nor the conceptual graphs appear to be suitable for this task, and this led ...

In present CCG-based semantic parsing systems, the extraction of a semantic grammar from sentence-meaning examples poses a computational challenge. An important factor is the decomposition of the sentence meaning into smaller parts, each corresponding to the meaning of a word or phrase. This has so far limited supervised semantic parsing to small, specialised corpora. We propose a set of heuris...
