theories of semantic fields are the most valuable topics of semantics in linguistic researches. this concept refers to the set of words which are the subset of a general meaning connected through special relations. in fact, semantics is the summary of words’ relations with each other. therefore, this study aims to investigate semantic fields in nahj al-fasaha, to explain relations among words i...

Formal Semantics and Distributional Semantics are two important semantic frameworks in Natural Language Processing (NLP). Cognitive Semantics belongs to the movement of Cognitive Linguistics, which is based on contemporary cognitive science. Each framework could deal with some meaning phenomena, but none of them fulfills all requirements proposed by applications. A unified semantic theory chara...

ing from the terminological details of mediaeval semantics, Lambert’s rule requires that denotational terms in a present-tensed sentence denote the current satisfiers of their associated descriptive conditions, rather than past or future (or merely possible) such satisfiers. Later rules of the Summa Lamberti require denotational terms in pasttensed sentences to denote the past satisfiers of the...

It is well known that dependence logic captures the complexity class NP, and it has recently been shown that inclusion logic captures P on ordered models. These results demonstrate that team semantics offers interesting new possibilities for descriptive complexity theory. In order to properly understand the connection between team semantics and descriptive complexity, we introduce an extension ...

Possibility semantics. Possibility semantics for modal logic is a generalization of standard Kripke semantics. In this semantics, a possibility frame has a refinement relation which is a partial order between states, in addition to the accessibility relation for modalities. From an algebraic perspective, full possibility frames are dually equivalent to complete Boolean algebras with complete op...

one of the modern paradigms to develop an application is object oriented analysis and design. in this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles in applications. in an application, we must distinguish between procedural semantics and declarative semantics for their implementation in a specific programming language. for the procedural semantics, we can write a ...

A constructive framework of recent work in the semantics of programming languages is offered. The criticism is directed not so much at the techniques and results obtained as at the use to which they are put. The fact that denotational (or “mathematical”) semantics plays on the whole a passive (“descriptive”) rôle, while operational semantics plays on the whole an active (“prescriptive”) rôle, i...

One of the biggest challenges in Multimedia information retrieval and understanding is to bridge the semantic gap by properly modeling concept semantics in context. The presence of out of vocabulary (OOV) concepts exacerbates this difficulty. To address the semantic gap issues, we formulate a problem on learning contextualized semantics from descriptive terms and propose a novel Siamese archite...

The semantics of C is described in the ANSIrISO standard using natural language. This paper contains a brief summary, more descriptive than technical, of our research in specifying a complete and accurate formal semantics for ANSI C. We follow the denotational approach and divide the specification in three distinct phases: static, typing and dynamic semantics. Moreover, we have developed a dire...
