similarity between cultures, languages and arts is natural. literary genres are also related to each other. it is obvious that if literary works are to be concerned with a subject or particular theme, this convergence will be further and clearer. the sacred defense literature, which is a spiritual literature, came to the fore both in poetry and prose more than other literary types. due to its c...

Recent evidence suggests that bilinguals’ lexical mappings for their two languages converge on a common naming pattern. The present paper investigates how semantic convergence affects the category centers and the category boundaries in the two languages of a bilingual. For common household objects, we found that the prototypes for corresponding categories in a bilingual’s two languages were mor...

The scientific paradigms of the Semantic Web, Web Services, Agents, Peer-to-Peer Networks and Grid Computing are currently receiving a lot of attention in the research community, and are producing solutions to important problems ranging from e-science to e-business. The United States DAML program, the European Commission and other organisations have also been investing heavily in these technolo...

In view of the design scheme convergence in the process of product design, a method of product extension case rea-soning based on region semantic correlation is presented. In combination with product semantics and primitives theo-ry in extenics, the knowledge representation method in process of product design and convergence process of design cases were studied. In the convergence process, the ...

Patterns of object naming often differ between languages, but bilingual speakers develop convergent naming patterns in their two languages that are distinct from those of monolingual speakers of each language. This convergence appears to reflect dynamic interactions between lexical representations for the two languages. In this study, we present a self-organizing neural network model to simulat...
