Verbal Prefixation in Malay: Reconfiguring Paradigmatic Relations

Intra-Paradigmatic Contrast in Arabic Verbal Morphology

Arabic verbs exhibit a morphologically conditioned stem ablaut which has been attributed in the past to an apophonic scale (Guerssel and Lowenstamm 1996; Ségéral 1997). I show here that this apophonic scale is unnecessary, and that Arabic ablaut can be attributed instead to maximized contrast along the dimension of morphosyntactic aspect, employing constraints motivated by Rebrus and Törkenczy ...

Paradigmatic relations and semantic information in MTT: some questions

This paper raises and discusses three questions about the structure of Meaning-Text Theory, based on consideration of the role that paradigmatic Lexical Functions play in its model of the lexicon: Is the paradigmatic-syntagmatic distinction meaningful? Do paradigmatic LFs represent redundant semantic information (and if so, is the redundancy justified)? And finally, might definitions of lexemes...

Paradigmatic and Syntagmatic Relations in Knowledge Organization Systems

Most methods used in knowledge organization systems (KOS) organize knowledge in form of concepts and the relations between them, though the level of differentiating relations varies. Major knowledge representation methods make some of the relations explicit, but they use only a small number of paradigmatic semantic relations so far. This approach is somewhat contrary to the detailed and highly-...

Paradigmatic and Syntagmatic Relations in Information Systems over Ontological Graphs

People make sense of a text by identifying semantic relations which connect the entities or concepts described by a text (cf. [2]). Therefore, in the search for smarter, more human-like, computer tools, we need to equip such tools with ability to identify and utilize semantic relations in processing the texts. In [4], we have dealt with the problem of mining real-estate listings. In this proble...
