Antonymy and Evaluativity
The goal of this paper is to characterize and account for the systematic distribution of a semantic property, “evaluativity”. A construction is evaluative if it makes reference to a degree that exceeds a contextually specified standard. The term comes from Neeleman et al. (2004); Seuren (1978) alternatively refers to this property as ‘orientedness’ and Bierwisch (1989) as ‘norm-relatedness’. Th...
متن کاملExtracting Contextual Evaluativity
Recent work on evaluativity or sentiment in the language sciences has focused on the contributions that lexical items provide. In this paper, we discuss contextual evaluativity, stance that is inferred from lexical meaning and pragmatic environments. Focusing on assessor-grounding claims likeWe liked him because he so clearly disliked Margaret Thatcher, we build a corpus and construct a system ...
متن کاملAntonymy and Contrast Relations
In this paper we report on experiments to determine if antonymy is a good predictor of contrast, using 124 texts from the British National Corpus and the antonymy relations for adjectives recognized by WordNet. Further, we considered whether antonyms are key arguments in the inferences that license contrast. We looked at the frequency of both indirect and direct antonym pairs in contrastive sen...
متن کاملAntonymy and Conceptual Vectors
For meaning representations in NLP, we focus our attention on thematic aspects and conceptual vectors. The learning strategy of conceptual vectors relies on a morphosyntaxic analysis of human usage dictionary definitions linked to vector propagation. This analysis currently doesn’t take into account negation phenomena. This work aims at studying the antonymy aspects of negation, in the larger g...
متن کاملCorpus Approaches to Antonymy
The word “antonymy” was coined in 1867 by CJ Smith to describe word-pairs commonly known as “opposites” such as hot/cold, girl/boy and buy/sell. Some linguists (e.g. Lyons (1977) and Cruse (1986)) apply the term “antonymy” restrictively and would only identify the first of these three pairs as being truly antonymous. However, this seems counter-intuitive in many respects, and this paper will us...
