Discourse Semantics Meets Lexical Field Semantics
The focus of this article is the integration of two different perspectives on lexical semantics: Discourse Representation Theory's (DRT) inferentially motivated approach and Semantic Emphasis The-ory's (SET) lexical field based view. A new joined representation format is developed which is exemplified by analyses of German verbs. The benefits thereof are on both sides. DI/T gains basic entries ...
متن کاملDeep Lexical Semantics
In the project we describe, we have taken a basic core of about 5000 synsets in WordNet that are the most frequently used, and we have categorized these into sixteen broad categories, including, for example, time, space, scalar notions, composite entities, and event structure. We have sketched out the structure of some of the underlying abstract core theories of commonsense knowledge, including...
متن کاملLexical Semantics and Selection of TAM in Bantu Languages: A Case of Semantic Classification of Kiswahili Verbs
The existing literature on Bantu verbal semantics demonstrated that inherent semantic content of verbs pairs directly with the selection of tense, aspect and modality formatives in Bantu languages like Chasu, Lucazi, Lusamia, and Shiyeyi. Thus, the gist of this paper is the articulation of semantic classification of verbs in Kiswahili based on the selection of TAM types. This is because the sem...
متن کاملNonactive Voice in Hebrew and Elsewhere: Between Unaccusativity and Agentivity
Itamar Kastner (NYU) 1. The focus of this paper is the nonactive Hebrew verbal template hitpa'el, in which three root consonants are arranged in the basic form hitXaYYeZ (citation form, M.SG). In this kind of rootand-pattern morphology, the middle consonant is geminated, the root is prefixed with hitand certain vowels are inserted. HitXaYYeZ verbs are never transitive; empirically, I explain th...
متن کاملThe Deep Lexical Semantics of Event Words
But doing this requires fairly complex inference, because the words “block”, “enter”, “can”, “not” and “deliver” carve up the world in different ways.1 Words describe the world, so if we are going to draw the appropriate inferences in understanding a text, we must have underlying theories of aspects of the world and we must have axioms that link these to words. This includes domain-dependent kn...
