Translation is involved with the information exchange from a language to other. This study sets work on intersemiotic form of translation by focusing ‘An Nkape Anya Ukwu’ produced Chianakwalam, S.

In carrying out this exercise, researcher adopted phonetic and phonemic well as 1984 descriptive theory Toury fra...

The idea that translation involves revealing and discovery of information from the source has been discussed in a few fields study, especially creative intersemiotic translation. These operations are fundamentally dependent on iconic properties. An operational criterion detrivializes common description icon as sign similarity to define more precisely processes through which it is possible disco...

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a textual markup language designed for the creation of self-describing documents. Such documents contain textual data combined with structural information describing the structure of the textual data. Currently, products and approaches for document-oriented application domains focus mainly on the textual representation when processing and analyzing documents....

We present a novel method for mapping thematic trends called "Classification by Preferential Clustered Link" (CPCL). This method clusters relevant textual units (terms) from a corpus of texts, based on meaningful linguistic relations (syntactic variations) identified amongst the units. Terms related through syntactic variations are represented in the form of a graph and are first clustered into...

Online reviews of tourism services provide valuable resources of knowledge not only for travelers but also for companies. Tourism operators are more and more aware that user related data should be seen as an important asset. This work-in-progress analyzes free text reviews as well as numerical ratings of group tours with the aim to characterize their relations. This is done with the help of sta...

This thesis introduces the applied notion of textual entailment as a generic empirical task that captures major semantic inferences across many applications. Textual entailment addresses semantic inference as a direct mapping between language expressions and abstracts the common semantic inferences as needed for text based Natural Language Processing applications. We define the task and describ...

In this paper, I show that current discourse theories are not able to explain why different orderings of the same textual segments exhibit different properties with respect to coherence. I then propose a criterion of coherence that exploits both the strong tendency of textual units that are associated with certain rhetorical relations to obey a canonical ordering and the inclination of semantic...

Disambiguating named entities (NE) in running text to their correct interpretations in a specific knowledge base (KB) is an important problem in NLP. This paper presents two collective disambiguation approaches using a graph representation where possible KB candidates for NE textual mentions are represented as nodes and the coherence relations between different NE candidates are represented by ...

There is a growing need, both for use within corporate intranets and within the rapidly evolving World Wide Web, to develop tools that are able to retrieve relevant textual information rapidly, to present textual information in a meaningful way, and to integrate textual information with related data retrieved from other sources. This paper introduces a model for structured text and presents a s...
