This paper describes a rule based semantic parsing approach for Kashmiri language(multilingual language) .A rule based semantic parser relies on the WORDNET and FRAMENET available for the language. Semantic parsing involves mapping of natural language (NL) sentence into a complete formal meaning representation (MR) in a meaning representation language. Semantic parsing increases the level of un...

the link between studies in discourse analysis and corpus linguistics has created new fields of research previously unattended. one of these areas is the study of semantic prosody produced through frequent collocation of a lexical item with a collection of words. semantic prosody is the positive, negative or neutral shade of meaning which a seemingly neutral word adopts after frequent collocati...

The N400 component of the event-related brain potential is widely used in research on language and semantic memory, but the cognitive functions underlying N400 amplitudes are still unclear and actively debated. Recent simulations with a neural network model of word meaning suggest that N400 amplitudes might reflect implicit semantic prediction error. Here, we extend these simulations to sentenc...

Word finding difficulty is a known impairments in multiple sclerosis (MS). The purpose of this study is to adapt homophone meaning generation test to Persian language, and then examine word storage and access in multiple sclerosis patients through these three word-finding tests. This study examined the word retrieval in 90 Persian speaking patients with multiple sclerosis and 90 matched healthy...

JAMES L. BOYER Professor of Greek, Grace College In dealing with a subject which includes the word “semantic" there is a double reason for beginning with the defining of terms; because semantic itself needs defining, and because semantics has to do with the meaning of words, or definition. The word "semantic" is used in two senses; (1) as a technical term in the science of linguistics, and (2) ...

PageRank evaluates the importance of Web pages with link relations. However, there is no direct method of evaluating the meaning of links in a hyperlink-based Web structure. This feature may cause problems in that pages containing many in-links are highly ranked without considering the meaning of the link relations among the pages. We therefore propose a novel ranking approach to directly analy...

Control sentences have been extensively studied in the linguistic literature and semantic analysis of control has been proposed in the context of different linguistic theories. However, split control sentences, in which the subject and the object can both contribute to the meaning of the understood subject, haven’t received a comprehensive formal semantic analysis. In particular, in LFG and the...

Mingers [16] suggests a notion of ‘meaning system’ in order to clarify the relationships between data (signs), information and meaning, and their bearings on information systems (IS for short). We observe that there are a few important points that need further investigation, which are centred on the basic notions of information and meaning. In this paper, we summarise the most seemingly influen...

Meaning Evolution Support Systems have been recently introduced as a real-time, scalable, community-based cooperative systems to support the ontology evolution. In this paper, we intend to address the problems of accuracy and effectiveness by using Semantic Decision Tables. A Semantic Decision Table separates general decision rules from the processes, bootstraps policies and template dependenci...
