The Semantic Web aims to extend the World Wide Web with a layer of semantic information, so that it is understandable not only by humans, but also by computers. At its core, the Semantic Web consists of ontologies that describe the meaning of concepts in a certain domain or across domains. The domain ontologies are mostly created and maintained by domain experts using manual, time-intensive pro...

As spoken language unfolds over time the speech input transiently activates multiple candidates at different levels of the system - phonological, lexical, and syntactic - which in turn leads to short-lived between-candidate competition. In an fMRI study, we investigated how different kinds of linguistic competition may be modulated by the presence or absence of a prior context (Tyler 1984; Tyle...

Priming effects have been well documented in behavioral psycholinguistics experiments: The processing of a word or a sentence is typically facilitated when it shares lexico-semantic or syntactic features with a previously encountered stimulus. Here, we used fMRI priming to investigate which brain areas show adaptation to the repetition of a sentence's content or syntax. Participants read or lis...

The current study qualitatively examined blurbs in the discipline of physics which is perceived to be less infused with evaluative resources and more objective and impersonal in its textual argumentation. The study followed the appraisal framework proposed by Martin and White (2005) to see how interpersonal meaning is textually constructed in blurbs. Findings indicated that writers of the blurb...

Successful scientific writers make use of various lexico-grammatical features to assert their authorial voice in ways that target audience finds most convincing. While many studies have focused on the stance markers writing, very few reported construction Malaysian writers. To address this, this paper reports a three-way comparative study stance-taking made by writers, international counterpart...

Cancer is one of the critical health concerns. Health authorities around world have devoted great attention to cancer and causing factors achieve control against increasing rate cancer. Carcinogens are most salient that accused a considerable cases. Scientists, in different fields knowledge, keep warning people imminent attack carcinogens which surrounding environment may launch their at any mo...

Abstract Legal discourse is widely assumed to be resistant change, and indeed legislative documents are extremely conservative with fixed formulaic structures. However, recent research has shown that changes can observed in the lexico-grammatical features of some legal when examined diachronically, particularly since emergence 1970s Plain Language Movement, which sought draw attention unnecessa...

Abstract This article contributes to two well-worn areas of debate in classical Latin philology, relating Ovid’s Heroides. The first is the question authenticity (and, a lesser extent correct position) letter placed 15th almost every collection—the so-called Epistula Sapphus (henceforth ES). secondary question, although perhaps now less fervently debated, ‘Double Heroides’, by those who accept ...

DRAMATICS TRANSLATION: LEXICO-SEMANTIC ASPECT

In this paper we describe an implemented framework for developing monolingual or multilingual natural language generation (NLG) applications and machine translation (MT) applications. The framework demonstrates a uniform approach to generation and transfer based on declarative lexico-structural transformations of dependency structures of syntactic or conceptual levels ("uniform lexico-structura...
