The processing of semantic information requires the adequate knowledge representation and ability to interpret semantically related knowledge. The majority of present day approaches to knowledge representation and processing are based on symbolic approach, i.e. on describing the meaning of represented domain knowledge and procedural knowledge used to process this domain knowledge. Hierarchical ...

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...

A semantic parser learning system learns to map natural language sentences into their domain-specific formal meaning representations, but if the constructs of the meaning representation language do not correspond well with the natural language then the system may not learn a good semantic parser. This paper presents approaches for automatically transforming a meaning representation grammar (MRG...

Meaning is a marvellous and dreadful matter, as it is neither totally intelligible nor totally unintelligible. It cannot be considered as an univocal, closed and fixed entity, atomic in nature, universally shared and invariable in time. Rather, meaning has a complex design, composed by different facets: a referential, an inferential, and a differential one. This standpoint, which overcomes the ...

The issue of meaning is undoubtedly significant in translation theory. Based on Catford’s and Nida’s view on meaning in translation, this paper aims at explore linguistic school’s contribution to the theoretical description of meaning. With Nida’s semantic studies as a focus, it argues that Nida’s semantic studies represent an important stage and carry the linguistic school’s theoretical studie...

Statistical natural language generation from abstract meaning representations presupposes large corpora consisting of text–meaning pairs. Even though such corpora exist nowadays, or could be constructed using robust semantic parsing, the simple alignment between text and meaning representation is too coarse for developing robust (statistical) NLG systems. By reformatting semantic representation...

among the modern methods propounded in linguistics in which they scientifically study the concept and is called semantics. in semantics, the meanings of words are explained via discovering the semantic field of words based on their relations in the semantic networks. in the context of the verses of holy quran, by help of this method, they research for the meanings of quran words. the concept of...

Language comprehension studies have identified the N400, an event-related potential (ERP) correlate of the processing of meaning, modulation of which is typically assumed to reflect the activation of semantic information. However, N400 studies of conscious language processing have not clearly distinguished between meaning derived from a semantic relationship and meaning extracted through associ...

Constructional and projectionist approaches are often contrasted, yet both incorporate the same important assumption about the nature of the meaning of sentences with verbs and their arguments, although they differ in how much meaning is allocated to the syntax and how much to the lexicon. FOCUS OF THE TALK: a facet of meaning that both approaches see as lexical, a notion of core meaning or roo...
