Exploring Diachronic Lexical Semantics with JeSemE
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent advances in distributional semantics combined with the availability of large-scale diachronic corpora offer new research avenues for the Digital Humanities. JESEME, the Jena Semantic Explorer, renders assistance to a non-technical audience to investigate diachronic semantic topics. JESEME runs as a website with query options and interactive visualizations of results, as well as a REST API for access to the underlying diachronic data sets.

This project investigates the relationship between lexical semantics and causative morphology in the acquisition of causative/inchoative-related verbs in English as a foreign language by Iranian speakers.
