Constructing Lexical Transducers

A lexical transducer, first discussed in Karttunen, Kaplan and Zaenen 1992, is a specialised finite-state automaton that maps inflected surface forms to lexical forms, and vice versa. The lexical form consists of a canonical representation of the word and a sequence of tags that show the morphological characteristics of the form in question and its syntactic category. For example, a lexical tra...

Demonstration of Multi Statutory of the Adjective “Just” in Modern Adjectival English Lexicon

This article concerns the general functional features of an adjective in modern English, and in particular multistate lexical item “just”, which carries different meanings in different variants of combinatorics. The authors analyze the combinations used with the adjectival lexeme item “just” and reveal the categories that determine the degree of semantic content of each given statement. The nee...

Parallel intersection and serial composition of finite state transducers

We describe a linguistically expressive and easy to implement parallel semantics for quasi-deterministic finite state transducers (FSTS) used as acceptors. Algorithms are given for detemain-ing acceptance of pairs of phoneme strings given a parallel suite of such transducers and for constructing the equivalent single transducer by parallel intersection. An algorithm for constructing the serial ...

Linguistic Means of Description of Family Relations in the Novel “In Chancery” By J. Galsworthy

The article is devoted to the study of the evaluative component of the meaning of lexical means used to describe relations between family members in the novel “In Chancery” by J. Galsworthy. The relevance of t &he study can be attributed to the lack of works devoted to this problem. As the results of our study demonstrate, the words of the lexical-semantic group “family” were mainly used to ver...
