The Distinction between Linguistic and Conceptual Semantics in Medical Terminology and its Implications for NLP-Based Knowledge Acquisition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Natural language understanding systems have to exploit various kinds of knowledge to be able to represent the meaning behind texts. Getting this knowledge in place is often such a huge enterprise that it is tempting to look for systems that can discover such knowledge automatically. In this paper, we describe how the distinction between conceptual and linguistic semantics probably can assist in reaching this objective, provided that distinguishing between them is not done to rigorously. We present several toy examples to support this view and argue that in a multilingual environment linguistic ontologies should be designed as interfaces between domain conceptualisations and linguistic knowledge bases.

متن کاملTranslation and Hybridity in Scenes and Frames Semantics
The present study is a theoretical attempt to illustrate how Fillmore's Scenes and Frames Semantics (SFS) could be employed as a framework to portray the process of understanding and translating hybrid texts. It first reviews the origin of SFS; then it maps SFS onto Nida’s linguistic model of translation process and the Interpretive Theory of Translation; it examines in the next section, withi...
متن کاملAnalyzing the problem of meaning in Shabastari’s Golshane Raz
Man has always been finding a complete model for semantics since the beginning. A model which can as a paradigm affects all branches of sciences. In the view of author, such a model can be found in Golshane Raz. Introducing the model from the work mentioned, the paper has tried to explain its sub structural foundations in three fields of ontology, epistemology and semantics. Some of the foundat...
