متن کاملThe Cat and the Brocaded Bag: Using Metaphor Analysis to Computationally Process Creatively Modified Idioms
Theories and computational models of natural language understanding that handle idioms generally circumvent the question of novel modifications to idioms. Yet such variations are prevalent in the media. This paper addresses the perhaps most challenging type of idiom variation, i.e., variation of decomposable idioms through nontrivial metaphoric modifications in the source domain, i.e., the doma...
متن کاملWords and Idioms

The reason for this focus on idioms in early construction...
متن کاملCONNECTING T AND LATTICE-VALUED CONVERGENCES
$top$-filters can be used to define $top$-convergence spaces in the lattice-valued context. Connections between $top$-convergence spaces and lattice-valued convergence spaces are given. Regularity of a $top$-convergence space has recently been defined and studied by Fang and Yue. An equivalent characterization is given in the present work in terms of convergence of closures of $top$-filters. M...
متن کاملIdioms and Compositionality
A standard view is that idioms present problems for compositionality. The question of compositionality, however, should be posed for a semantics, not for individual phrases. The paper focuses on the idiom extension problem: Suppose in a given language a certain phrase acquires the status of an idiom. How can the syntax and semantics be extended to accommodate the idiom, while preserving desirab...
