Gothenburg Papers in Computational Linguistics Using Situations to Reason about the Interpretation of Speech Events Using Situations to Reason about the Interpretation of Speech Events Using Situations to Reason about the Interpretation of Speech Events

The EKNTOOL implementation developed in the Fra-CaS project uses the situation theoretic notion of restriction to account for background information provided by the context and also information about the utterance conceived of as an event (a kind of situation). It also uses role labels associated with abstracts to link various parts of the utterance with roles in the interpretation. In this cha...

Quantifying the Semantic Representations of Adolescents’ Memories of Positive and Negative Life Events

We quantified the semantic content in adolescents’ descriptions of positive and negative life events and studied how these descriptions are related to the assessment subjective well-being (SWB) at two points in time. The semantic content of the descriptions was quantified by latent semantic analysis (LSA). LSA is a computational method based on algorithms stemming from computational linguistics...
