The foundational philosophical commitments of a field of inquiry have a broad hand in defining everything from what questions are of import to how those questions ought to be approached. HCI is no different, and that fact has completely shaped the landscape of its research contribution. In particular, HCI’s development has been marked by field-wide and often divisive debate founded upon worldvi...

We describe in this article an annotation scheme for deep dependency syntax, built from the surface annotation scheme of the Sequoia corpus, abstracting away from it and expressing the grammatical relations between content words. When these grammatical relations take part into verbal diatheses, we consider the diatheses as resulting from redistributions from the canonical diathesis, which we re...

two meanings regarding the principality of existence (isālat al-wujūd) can be inferred from the works and words of mulla sadra. one meaning is the objectivity of existence and essence on which many issues of transcendental philosophy are based. this meaning has deep philosophical consequences and implications. it seems that this meaning causes certain problems which make its acceptance tricky. ...

We describe our contribution to the SemEval task on Frame-Semantic Structure Extraction. Unlike most previous systems described in literature, ours is based on dependency syntax. We also describe a fully automatic method to add words to the FrameNet lexical database, which gives an improvement in the recall of frame detection.

There are some different viewpoints on the verse 41 in chapter Anfal of the Holy Quran that it is necessary to have one fifth of spoil to different incomes. The main reasons for these different viewpoints are the interest meaning of ‘spoil’. Not only referring to dictionaries, but also linguistic principles have not an effect on determine the meaning of ‘spoil’ in (8: 41...

This paper explains the principles of dependency analysis by reduction and its correspondence to the notions of dependency and dependency tree. The explanation is illustrated by examples from Czech, a language with a relatively high degree of word-order freedom. The paper sums up the basic features of methods of dependency syntax. The method serves as a basis for the verification (and explanati...

We address the question of which syntactic representation is best suited for role-semantic analysis of English in the FrameNet paradigm. We compare systems based on dependencies and constituents, and a dependency syntax with a rich set of grammatical functions with one with a smaller set. Our experiments show that dependency-based and constituent-based analyzers give roughly equivalent performa...

Copula constructions are problematic in the syntax of most languages. The paper describes three different dependency syntactic methods for handling copula constructions: function head, content head and complex label analysis. Furthermore, we also propose a POS-based approach to copula detection. We evaluate the impact of these approaches in computational parsing, in two parsing experiments for ...

One of important issues in the field of implication and aggression is        "منصوب به نزع خافض". It is an idiom related to  مفعول به "”. By referring to its definition, a syntactic-semantic analysis will be done in this paper. It tries to indicate what is the relationship between word and meaning and to what extent Arabic syntax focu...
