1) Introduction. a) Information and meanings are present everywhere around us as well as within ourselves. b) Specific studies have been implemented in order to link information and meaning: Semiotics, Biosemiotics. Analytic Philosophy, Linguistics, Phenomenology. Psychology. c) No general coverage is available for the notion of meaning. d) We propose to fill this lack by a systemic approach to...

Local semantic labels are relevant to the verb meaning in question, while global semantic labels are relevant across different verbs and verb meanings. We show that global semantic labels from different frameworks are not necessarily compatible and argue that, therefore, corpora should be annotated with local semantic labels and that global semantic labels should then be automatically annotated...

Intonational meaning is located in two components of language, the phonetic implementation and the intonational grammar. The phonetic implementation is widely used for the expression of universal meanings that derive from ‘biological codes’, meaning dimensions based on aspects of the production process of pitch variation. Three codes are identified, Ohala’s Frequency Code, the Effort Code and t...

First of all, sam1 doesn’t seem to have any at-issue meanings: the truth-conditions of sentences (1)-(4) will stay the same if we omit “sam” from them. But sam1 does seem to have more than one non-at-issue meaning: a presupposition and a conventional implicature. In this paper I will try to provide evidence for these two meanings, will discuss how they should be represented and how they are der...

Many natural language processing systems employ t ruth conditional knowledge representations (%ret)resentations' , etc.) to represent meanings of nata rm language expressions. T-representations have their strong and their weak sides. A strong side is logic: a relation of logical consequence can be de-. fined between such representations. A weak side is e x p r e s s i v e p o w e r : the capaci...

WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Meant) is a new methodology for editing knowledge representations by interacting with a generated NL feedback text which presents both the knowledge already deened and the options for extending and modifying it. This paper concerns novel problems that arise when this methodology is extended to deal with certain familiar and supposedly well-understood semantic p...
