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...

Linguistic annotation provides additional information asserted with a particular purpose in a document or other piece of information. It is widely used in various fields, from computing and bioinformatics, through imaging, to law and linguistics. There is also a clear distinction between what is communicated through the written/spoken natural language and how this is passed on. We are studying ...

This paper addresses discourse structure from the perspective of understanding. It would perhaps help us understand the na,ture of discourse relatiolls il" we better understood what units of a text. can be related to one a.nother. In Olle ma.jor theory of discourse structure, Rhetorical Structure Theory (Mann &: Thompson 1988; Imrea.l'ter simply RS'T), the smallest possible linguistic units tha...

Ontology authoring is a specialised task requiring amongst other things a deep knowledge of the ontology language being used. Understanding and reusing ontologies can thus be difficult for domain experts, who tend not to be ontology experts. To address this problem, we have developed a Natural Language Generation system for transforming the axioms that form the definitions of ontology classes i...

In this paper, we offer a novel method for processing given information in discourse, paying particular attention to definite descriptions. We argue that extant theories don’t do justice to the complexity of interaction between the knowledge resources that are used. In line with Hobbs (1979), we claim that discourse structure—as defined by the rhetorical connections between the propositions int...

Document-level sentiment analysis is among the most popular research fields of nature language processing in recent years, in which one of major challenges is that discourse structural information can be hardly captured by existing approaches. In this paper, a domain-independent framework for documentlevel sentiment classification with weighting rules based on Rhetorical Structure Theory is pro...
