Kotonush, a system that clarifies people’s values on various concepts on the basis of what they write about on social media, is presented. The values are represented by ordering sets of concepts (e.g., London, Berlin, and Rome) in accordance with a common attribute intensity expressed by an adjective (e.g., entertaining). We exploit social media text written by different demographics and at dif...

This paper describes an automatic approach to identify lexical patterns that represent semantic relationships between concepts in an on-line encyclopedia. Next, these patterns can be applied to extend existing ontologies or semantic networks with new relations. The experiments have been performed with the Simple English Wikipedia and WordNet 1.7. A new algorithm has been devised for automatical...

Textual data is at the forefront of information management problems today. One response has been the development of visualizations of text data. These visualizations, commonly based on simple attributes such as relative word frequency, have become increasingly popular tools. We extend this direction, presenting the first visualization of document content which combines word frequency with the h...

Semantic lexicons and lexical ontologies are some major resources in natural language processing. Developing such resources are time consuming tasks for which some automatic methods are proposed. This paper describes some methods used in semi-automatic development of FarsNet; a lexical ontology for the Persian language. FarsNet includes the Persian WordNet with more than 10000 synsets of nouns,...

In contrast to typical semantic relations between verbs, such as antonymy, synonymy or hyponymy, presupposition is a lexical relation that is not very well covered in existing lexical resources. It is also understudied in the field of corpus-based methods of learning semantic relations. But presupposition is very important for the quality of automatic semantic and discourse analysis tasks. In t...

This study, ‘A Lexico-Semantic Analysis of Helon Habila’s Oil on Water’ examines how meaning is negotiated through the use some cohesive devices in text. Previous studies have concentrated treatment environmental issues without much attention paid to are coalesced text produce meaning. Data for analysis range from page one hundred primary text, Water. Also, study focused a qualitative research ...

With the rapid growth of knowledge, it shows a steady trend knowledge fragmentization. Knowledge fragmentization manifests as that related to specific topic in course is scattered isolated and autonomous sources. We term facet fragment. The problem brings two challenges: First, various sources, which exerts users' considerable efforts search for their interested topics, thereby leading informat...

While paradigmatic lexical/sense relations are traditionally used to analyse the between lexical items, present article adopts a descriptive qualitative method, based on Cruse’s (2000) classification of relations, find identity and inclusion two items in different texts by using logical entailment relation. The aims at finding out whether or not can be substituted another without changing their...

The problems discussed in this study are based on variations verb meaning west Papuan speech, namely Irires and Miyah Language. These two languages one area Tambarauw Regency but have different verbs. For reason, a of hyponymy categories is needed morphology studies to identify languages. This research was conducted find out socio-cultural the West language, Miyah. researchers used qualitative,...

In this paper, we propose a method for multi-term query expansions based on WordNet. In our approach, Hypernym/Hyponymy and Synonym relations in WordNet is used as the basic expansion rules. Then we use WordNet Lexical Chains and WordNet semantic similarity to assign terms in the same query into different groups with respect to their semantic similarities. For each group, we expand the highest ...
