In linguistics, probabilistic relation between co-occurrent words can provide useful interpretation of knowledge conveyed in a text. Connectivity patterns vectorized representation lexemes be identified by using bigram models word sequences. Similarity assessment these is performed applying cosine similarity and mean squared error measures on vectors matrix Moreover, parallel computing another ...

Much effort has been put into computational lexicons over the years, and most systems give much room to (lexical) semantic data. However, in these systems, the effort put on the study and representation of lexical items to express the underlying continuum existing in 1) language vagueness and polysemy, and 2) language gaps and mismatches, has remained embryonic. A sense enumeration approach fai...

ion in comparison to Arppe (2006), the six distinct person/number features (e.g. FIRST PERSON SINGULAR, FIRST PERSON PLURAL, SECOND PERSON SINGULAR, and so on) were decomposed as a matrix of three person features (FIRST vs. SECOND vs. THIRD) and two number features (SINGULAR vs. PLURAL). In all, 108 contextual variables in the corpora turned out to exceed a minimum threshold of 24 occurrences (...

The Bible Translator’s Assistant (TBTA) is a natural language generator (NLG) designed specifically for field linguists doing translation work in minority languages. In particular, TBTA is intended to generate drafts of the narrative portions of the Bible as well as numerous community development articles in a very wide range of languages. TBTA uses the rich interlingua approach. The semantic r...

It is sometimes assumed that the process of reanalysis of a borrowed prefix as productive is a simple process of detachment from the borrowed base and subsequent re-attachment to a native one. If this is reanalysis, however, it is so in a limited sense. It is not, for example, an instance of ambiguity resolution (see Lewis 1998: 2489), since the result of the process is to add to the stock of m...

We analyze a corpus of historical texts in terms of complex network theory. This is done by means of the Patrologia Latina, a collection of Latin documents that were written over a period of more than 1,000 years. We perform a lemmatization of this corpus and map its documents onto the end of the productive period of the corresponding authors. By means of this temporal ordering, we perform a tr...
