In this paper, we propose the application of concepts from aspectoriented software development to facilitate modular treatment of dynamic reconfiguration descriptions in specification-to-deployment environments. Our strategy differs from earlier work in the area by blending aspects and architecture abstractions simply and seamlessly through a special kind of connector — called an aspectual conn...

I describe an implemented computational model of verbal aspect that supports the proposition that the semantics of aspect is grounded in sensory-motor primitives. In this theory, aspectual expressions refer to schema-tized processes that recur in sensory-motor control (such as goal, periodicity, iteration, nal state, duration, and parameters such as force and eeort). This active model of aspect...

The hypothesis of the autonomy of syntax makes special demands on one of the central issues in linguistic theory: the specification of correspondences between a lexical conceptual and syntactic structure. One strategy is to distinguish several layers of lexical representation and allow only one of them to be "visible" to syntactic and morphological processes (cf. Pinker 1989, Grimshaw 1990). A ...

During the development of the Hungarian WordNet we found that the primarily hierarchical structure of the Princeton WordNet (PWN) had to be expanded in order that it could be used for a more accurate representation of relations among verbal meanings in Hungarian, as well. Treating verbs as eventualities we made some aspectual information explicitly available in the representation of verbs. Usin...

This study reexamines the semantics of the Portuguese Present Perfect and proposes ananalysis of this periphrastic past that does not appeal to type-shifting coercionmechanisms. Aspectual coercion was claimed to explain purported mismatches betweenselection restrictions of the Portuguese Present tense and the aspectual properties of thePerfect (Schmitt 2001). The present stu...
