This paper proposes lexical annotation as an effective method to solve the ambiguity problems that affect ontology matchers. Lexical annotation associates to each ontology element a set of meanings belonging to a semantic resource. Performing lexical annotation on the ontologies involved in the matching process allows to detect false positive mappings and to enrich matching results by adding ne...

In this paper, we present Lexical Episode Plots, a novel automated text-mining and visual analytics approach for exploratory text analysis. In particular, we first describe an algorithm for automatically annotating text regions to examine prominent themes within natural language texts. The algorithm is based on lexical chaining to find spans of text in which the frequency of a term is significa...

A puzzling observation, first noted in Austin 1956, is that the syntactic position of an adverb can affect the meaning of a sentence. (1) a. Clumsily he trod on the snail. (Austin 1956) b. He trod on the snail clumsily. (2) a. Cleverly, John dropped his cup of coffee. (Jackendoff 1972) b. John dropped his cup of coffee cleverly. (3) a. Louisa rudely departed. (McConnell-Ginet 1982) b. Louisa de...

Lexical scan is a basic part of language processors such as assemblers, compilers, and source code interpreters [2]. The lexical scan takes a large amount of processing time, although the processing algorithm is rather simple and regular. Hence, the hardware realization is especially effective for the speed-up of the processing. Based on the experience of the design and evaluation of a hardware...

Come with us to read a new book that is coming recently. Yeah, this is a new coming book that many people really want to read will you be one of them? Of course, you should be.

Hard will be felt when you have no ideas about what kind of book to read. Or...

We present a study that investigates that factors that determine what makes a good lexical substitution. We begin by observing that there is a correlation between the corpus frequency of words and the number of WordNet senses they have, and hypothesise that readers might prefer common, but more ambiguous words over less ambiguous but also less common ones. We identify four properties of a word ...

as a culture-based phenomenon which involves both linguistic and social aspects, translation has been investigated from various perspectives. the present critical discourse analysis (cda)-based study is an attempt to probe into the manipulation of ideologies in translations of political texts. a cda approach, based on fairclough (1989), van dijk (2004) and farahzad (2007), was adopted to conduc...
