We describe in this article an annotation scheme for deep dependency syntax, built from the surface annotation scheme of the Sequoia corpus, abstracting away from it and expressing the grammatical relations between content words. When these grammatical relations take part into verbal diatheses, we consider the diatheses as resulting from redistributions from the canonical diathesis, which we re...

the coalition between terms and their meaning can be as the result of phonological repetition in its speech structure and specific semantic load. this can lead to meaning distinction in choosing words and also meaning association. therefore, literally and syntactically, the phonological level cannot be separated from semantic level. earlier, the phonological association in text has been discuss...

We describe our contribution to the SemEval task on Frame-Semantic Structure Extraction. Unlike most previous systems described in literature, ours is based on dependency syntax. We also describe a fully automatic method to add words to the FrameNet lexical database, which gives an improvement in the recall of frame detection.

The issue of intended meaning is an open problem in the study of linguistic processes. The paper presents a notion of intended meaning based on the idea of speaker’s preference for a state of affairs to which a sentence refers. Its argument has two components. The first is the conception of meaning developed by analytic philosophy of language; that is, the meaning of a sentence depends on the t...

ambiguity, as one of the aesthetic tricks or techniques, makes the speech seem attractive, and the reader surprised. it looks pleasurable when its delay for accepting the meaning and its role in creating different meaning layers of speech is discovered. fifteen cases of ambiguity which results in development of the words’ meaning circle on the axis of companion, have been explained in present s...

The creation of coherent archives to store the content of these documents in a meaningful way implies a totally different point of view, where the main focus is on the text and its meaning, rather than on the structure of its container (e.g. the tables of a database or the fields of a form). This document-centric approach provides a way of preserving the integrity of the original documents with...
