Ontology of Rhetorical Figures for Serbian
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents RetFig, a formal domain ontology of rhetorical figures for Serbian. This ontology is one of the necessary steps in developing tools for Natural Language Processing in the Serbian language, especially for tools pertinent to discourse analysis, sentiment analysis and opinion mining. The RetFig ontology was developed taking into account a plethora of rhetorical figures in the morphologically rich Serbian language, as well as in regard to various classifications of rhetorical figures that exist. We propose a system of linguistic classes and properties that are best suited for this ontology, as well as some of the possible usages for this particular ontology of rhetorical figures.

متن کاملThe RhetFig Project: Computational Rhetorics and Models of Persuasion
We argue, reason, cajole, and persuade — we deploy rhetoric — because we are social animals endowed with a symbolic mode of thought and communication who seek to shape our social environment, to compete, and to cooperate. As rhetoricians, philosophers, and semiologists have regularly noticed, some patterns of argumentation and cajolery are more successful than others. These patterns of usage — ...
