Motion verbs and semantic features in TAG
We show how the domain of locality in a TAG elementary tree, (Frank 1992), can be extended through adjunction to include optional arguments for a dass of motion verbs and how the adjunctions can be restricted appropriately through the use of semantic features. Same examples of motion verbs we consider are shown in Table 1, which categorizes the verbs according to Levin classes (Levin 1993). Not...
متن کاملThe Semantic Processing of Motion Verbs: Coercion or Underspecification?
Underspecification and coercion are two prominent interpretive mechanisms to account for meaning variability beyond compositionality. While there is plentiful evidence that natural language meaning constitution exploits both mechanisms, it is an open issue whether a concrete phenomenon of meaning variability is an instance of underspecification or coercion. This paper argues that this theoretic...
متن کاملthe figurative significance of motion verbs "????-??????" and their equivalents in persian
in recent decades, “figurative language” has gained the interest of a large number of russian linguists as a source of lexical enrichment. persian and russian manifest, are more or less, a different image of a movement. nevertheless, these verbs share a number of linguistic features, although they belong to two diverse languages. due to the high frequency in the function of movement verbs in th...
متن کاملSemantic Clustering of Adjectives and Verbs Using their Syntactic Patterns
The idea that the syntactic behaviour of words is connected with their meaning has been the assumption behind research in elds such as lexical semantics and automatic clustering of words based on statistical methods. In particular much work has been done to describe the relation between the semantic characteristics of verbs and their syntactic patterns, among many Fillmore (1970) and Levin (199...
متن کاملSemantics of motion verbs
Motion verbs in languages convey the meanings of spatiotemporal change. Ontologies that deal with spatial actions can benefit from the study of such verbs and their usage. This paper explores semantic components of motion related verbs and verb complexes. Such semantics components assume certain spatial primitives and intuitions which need to be considered in the context of ontologies derived f...
