Session 6: Lexicon And Lexical Semantics
نویسنده
چکیده
While other word-level marking tasks such as morphology and part-of-speech tagging have arrived recently at a well-developed methodology and a basis for comparing results across systems, the robust discrimination of word senses in text is a less mature discipline. Yet, word sense discrimination is central to many natural language processing tasks, such as data extraction and machine translation.

A Stylistic Analysis of Lexicon in Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles
Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles is a futuristic, science fiction novel that chronicles the colonization of Mars by humans, projecting the United States’ colonial and immigrant past on to a symbolic future. Bradbury’s use of language is mostly picturesque and sensory. The present paper applies a text-oriented analysis of stylistic elements that construct meaning in the text and evoke the n...
متن کاملThe Effect of Lexicon-based Debates on the Felicity of Lexical Equivalents in Translating Literary Texts by Iranian EFL Learners
This study was an attempt to investigate the effect of lexicon-based debates on the felicity of lexical equivalents in translating literary texts by Iranian EFL learners. To fulfill the purpose of this study, 59 university students, majoring in English Translation, were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups from a total of 73 students based on their performance on a mock TOE...
متن کاملWhen the Generative Lexicon meets Computational Semantics
Computational semantics and lexical semantics have so far mostly been studied separately. As a result, computational semantics often constructs meanings with poor or little lexical sense, while lexical semantics generally only apply to simple and small phrases (as opposed to complete sentences). We present here a general framework to incorporate lexical semantics information originating from a ...
متن کاملThe Generative Lexicon
In this paper, I will discuss four major topics relating to current research in lexical semantics: methodology, descriptive coverage, adequacy of the representation, and the computational usefulness of representations. In addressing these issues, I will discuss what I think are some of the central problems facing the lexical semantics community, and suggest ways of best approaching these issues...
متن کاملBubble Networks: A Context-Sensitive Lexicon Representation
The paradigm of packing semantics into words has long been the dogma of lexical semantics. As computational semantics is maturing as a field, we are beginning to see the failure of this paradigm. Pustejovsky’s Generative Lexicon is only able to have generative powers if the semantics packed within a word can anticipate possible combinations with other words. However, even an idealized Generativ...
