A computational approach to fuzzy quantifiers in natural languages

An Axiomatic Theory of Fuzzy Quantifiers in Natural Languages

Many applications e.g. in approximate reasoning, data summarisation, information retrieval etc. can profit from the use of fuzzy quantifiers like “almost all” or “many”, which provide flexible means of information aggregation, and are capable of extracting meaningful linguistic summaries from large amounts of raw data. However, as will be shown by a number of counterexamples, existing approache...

Fuzzy quantifiers in natural language:: semantics and computational models

Fuzzy Quantifiers: A Natural Language Technique for Data Fusion

Fuzzy quantifiers like ‘almost all’ and ‘about half’ abound in natural language. They are used for describing uncertain facts, quantitative relations and processes. An implementation of these quantifiers can provide expressive and easy-to-use operators for aggregation and data fusion, but also for steering the fusion process on a higher level through a safe transfer of expert-knowledge expresse...

a frame semantic approach to the study of translating cultural scripts in salingers franny and zooey

the frame semantic theory is a nascent approach in the area of translation studies which goes beyond the linguistic barriers and helps us to incorporate cognitive and cultural factors to the study of translation. based on rojos analytical model (2002b), which centered in the frames or knowledge structures activated in the text, the present research explores the various translation problems that...

from linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar

chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...
