The semantics and pragmatics of directional numeral modifiers
Introduction On the basis of data from fifteen different languages (table 1, other side) I argue that directional numeral modifiers (DNMs), exemplified here by up to, differ from other numeral modifiers with regards to the bounds they set. Studying the bounds of numeral modifiers adds a novel element to the recent semantic and pragmatic discussion on modified numerals. My study extends Schwarz,...
متن کاملSyntax and Semantics of Korean Numeral Classifier Constructions
As given in the raising (2a) and causative (2b), the Num-CL sey myeng ‘three CL’ can have a different case marking from its antecedent, functioning as the matrix object. In a sense, it is linked to the original grammatical function of the raised object and the causee, respectively. Central issues in deep-parsing numeral classifier constructions thus concern how to generate such FQ constructions...
متن کاملA Formal Descriptive Semantics of UML
This paper proposes a novel approach to the formal definition of UML semantics. We distinguish descriptive semantics from functional semantics of modelling languages. The former defines which system is an instance of a model while the later defines the basic concepts underlying the models. In this paper, the descriptive semantics of class diagram, interaction diagram and state machine diagram a...
متن کاملFIDA: Face Recognition using Descriptive Input Semantics
Generic face recognition systems identify a subject by comparing the subject’s image to images in an existing face database[11]. These systems are very useful in forensics for criminal identification[7] and in security for biometric authentication[8], but are constrained by the availability and quality of subject images[1]. In this paper, we propose a novel system, FIDA, that uses descriptive n...
متن کاملDescriptive Schema: Semantics-based Query Answering
We propose the novel concept of “descriptive schema” (DS). Unlike ordinary database schemas, a DS does not restrict the structure of the underlying database. Rather, it is just a probabilistic description of the structure. When answering keyword queries, DS can be used to improve semantics-based query answering and result ranking. 1 Schema: To have or not to have? Wikipedia is a rich repository...
