Abstract Using rhetorical figures in specialized languages like the language of newspaper headlines is common. The present study attempted to conduct a contrastive analysis of the English and Persian sport newspaper headlines related to the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Toward this end, a corpus consisting of 400 English and 400 Persian headlines published during 12th of June to 13th of July, 2014 was c...

A survey of research on spoken language understanding is presented. It covers aspects of knowledge representation, automatic interpretation strategies, semantic grammars, conceptual language models, semantic event detection, shallow semantic parsing, semantic classification, semantic confidence, active learning

students’ social life in all formal and informal spaces of the faculty can greatly influence their learning process. these interactions are more regarded through training design as a social art which is involved to others from the very beginning such as understanding the problem to final steps and implementation. an issue which is important before interactions through educational structure of a...

Supernova is a new implementation of the SuperCollider server scsynth, with a multi-threaded audio synthesis engine. To make use of this thread-level parallelism, two extensions have been introduced to the concept of the SuperCollider node graph, exposing parallelism explicitly to the user. This paper discusses the semantic inplications of these extensions.

In recent years the amount of opinions and reviews available on the web has grown tremendously and therefore the role of sentiment analysis is even more crucial than before. Given the very ambiguous and imprecise nature of sentiments and of their expressions, this study focuses on the review of semantic and fuzzy aspects of opinion mining. Opinions are fuzzy in nature and dealing with the seman...

Security and trust aspects, perceived as difficult to quantify, have been neglected in various service interactions. However, factors related to security and trust are in fact crucial in the overall value of service quality. A security ontology that enables a quantification of risks related to the usage of Semantic Web services in enterprise information systems was created to meet users’ requir...

One important aspect when teaching OO technology is the semantics of programming. Much time is traditionally spent on syntax and language mechanisms whereas the semantics is given less time. To remedy this problem, we try to introduce a semantic thinking throughout the entire computer science education. We have developed a contract-based programming method to enforce the semantic aspects and ha...

The AOP community has successfully promoted and illustrated the power and elegance of aspect-oriented programming. One of the main problems of Aspect-oriented programming is, however, the aspect interference problem. When multiple aspects are superimposed on the same join point, undesired or incorrect behavior may emerge due to the side effects of behavior of the aspects at the join point. In t...

Corporate Semantic Web aims at bringing semantic technologies to enterprises for gaining, managing, and utilizing knowledge as one of the critical resources for their success in a quickly changing and highly competitive world. It provides solutions in three main application areas for semantic technologies, namely semantic engineering, semantic search, and semantic collaboration in cooperations....

In this paper we describe the definition of semantics for a Multi-Language interpreter (MLI), which provides the execution of the given program, receiving and exploiting corresponding language syntax and the desired semantics. We analyze the simplest solution – the MLI receives the language syntax and the semantics descriptions, which have already been compiled to executable objects. Semantics ...
