one of the criticisms of comparative philosophy is the incommensurability of different traditions. that is, various systems or disciplines, conceptually and methodologically different, are grown in the context of different traditions and thus making them incommensurable.  xianglong zhang holds that incommensurability is because of the lack of grounds for comparison. to accomplish fruitful compa...

In this paper we propose a mixed method for Word Sense Disambiguation, which combines lexical knowledge from EuroWordNet with corpora. The method tries to give a partial solution to the problem of the gap between lexicon and corpus by means of the approximation of the corpus to the lexicon. On the basis of the interaction that holds in natural language between the syntagmatic and the paradigmat...

This paper raises and discusses three questions about the structure of Meaning-Text Theory, based on consideration of the role that paradigmatic Lexical Functions play in its model of the lexicon: Is the paradigmatic-syntagmatic distinction meaningful? Do paradigmatic LFs represent redundant semantic information (and if so, is the redundancy justified)? And finally, might definitions of lexemes...

From the perspective of structural linguistics, we explore paradigmatic and syntagmatic lexical relations for Chinese POS tagging, an important and challenging task for Chinese language processing. Paradigmatic lexical relations are explicitly captured by word clustering on large-scale unlabeled data and are used to design new features to enhance a discriminative tagger. Syntagmatic lexical rel...

For half a decade model-based testing has been applied at Microsoft in the internal development process. Though a success story compared to other formal quality assurance approaches like verification, a break-through of the technology on a broader scale is not in sight. What are the obstacles? Some lessons can be learned from the past and will be discussed. An approach to MBT is described which...

This paper 1 presents a language to express morphological processes, concatenative or nonconcatenative. The language allows the definition of two kinds of paradigms: helping paradigms, which define partial morphological forms, and main paradigms, which combine two or more helping paradigms to define fully specified forms. 1 I n t r o d u c t i o n This paper presents a language to express morph...
