Cultural and linguistic fairness in the assessment of semantics.
In creating a semantic assessment that will be linguistically and culturally fair, it is important to avoid the bias of acquired vocabulary tests. This article describes techniques to assess children's processing of new words, their lexical organization and retrieval, which may be more significant than the number of words known. Special properties of the quantifier every also give an idea of th...
متن کاملThe semantics of color terms. A quantitative cross-linguistic investigation
The talk will present results of a statistical evaluation of the data from the World Color Survey, a large scale typological questionnaire study on the lexical semantics of basic color terms. Unlike most previous studies on the topic, I mainly use data from individual speakers, rather than generalizations over individual languages, as basis for statistical inference. I will present two main fin...
متن کاملSphere semantics for aspect
Sphere semantics is based on Tarski’s geometry of solids. It is evoked here to provide semantics for natural-language aspect, in particular the English progressive. Three virtues are argued for: (i) The approach extends interval semantics and omits its pitfalls, (ii) the semantics solves the imperfective puzzle, and (iii) the solution does not appeal to the strategy of eventual outcomes.
متن کامل2 Cross - Linguistic Semantics
Rooth & Partee (1982) and Rooth (1985) have shown that the English-specific rule-by-rule system of PTQ can be factores out into function application plus two transformations for resolving type mismatch (type lifting and variable binding). Building on these insights, this article proposes a universal system for type-driven translation, by adding two more innovations: local type determination for...
متن کاملLinguistic and Computational Semantics
We argue that because the very concept of computation rests on notions of interpretation, the semantics of natural languages and the semantics of computational formalisms are in the deepest sense the same subject. The attempt to use computational formalisms in aid of an explanation of natural language semantics, therefore, is an enterprise that must be undertaken with particular care. We descri...
