the meaning of an idiomatic expression cannot be transparently worked out from the meanings of its constituent words due to its figurative and unpredictable nature. consequently, the syntactic composition and the structural paradigm of an idiomatic expression are supposed to be the same in every context. however, this is not the case in the institutionalized second language varieties of english...

Fake news is a widespread element of the nowadays websites. The research focuses on students’ abilities to detect fake stories. 72 % respondents successfully identified texts. experiment proves that students concentrate reading texts carefully, check their credibility, facts and pictures accompany Students believe among linguistic features contribute creating there repetition lexemes, illogical...

This paper reports on the status of our ongoing project to extend, refine, and maintain the lexicon of the ElixirFM system. The latest release of ElixirFM has been enriched with valency frames for selected verbal lexemes. We briefly outline some other similar projects for Modern Standard Arabic and present crucial axioms of the approach we have adopted, which is Functional Generative Descriptio...

The French clitic system has posed a persistent challenge to transformational syntactic analysis, which has never produced a successful account of problems such as clitic ordering. Lexicalist alternatives, however, have never been reconciled with the full range of familiar problems and the growing body of known lexical idiosyncracies. We present a lexicalist treatment of the French clitic syste...

We present an algorithm for predicting translation equivalents between two languages, based on the corresponding WordNets. The assumption is that all synsets of one of the languages are linked to the corresponding synsets in the other language. In theory, given the exact sense of a word in a context it must be possible to translate it as any of the words in the linked synset. In practice, howev...

Predicative complements canonically show number and/or gender agreement with their target. The most detailed proposal on how to model it in HPSG is in Kathol (1999). This proposal, though, mainly deals with the predicative adjectives of the Romance languages, and turns out to be rather inappropriate for dealing with predicate nominals. There is an obvious way to repair it, but it cannot be fitt...

In this paper, we report our methods and results of using, for the first time, semi-automatic approach to enhance an Indian language Wordnet. We apply our methods to enhancing an already existing Sanskrit Wordnet created from Hindi Wordnet (which is created from Princeton Wordnet) using expansion approach. We base our experiment on an existing bilingual Sanskrit English Dictionary and show how ...

The role of context in construction grammar has been up to now viewed from a restricted point of view. That is, context is used to help in analysing the meaning and the pragmatic aspects of constructions, in keeping with the following assumption: 1. Context (common ground) forms part of the construction’s semantics Namely, it has been observed that, in many cases, constructions have a noncompos...

This paper shows how lexical choice during text generation depemls on linguistic context. We argue that muking c(Irrect lexieal choice in rite textual context requires distinguishing properties of concepts, which are ntme or less independent of file language, from language-specific representations of text where lexemes and their semantic and symantic relations are represented. In particular, l....
