We examine a naming game with two agents trying to establish a common vocabulary for n objects. Such efforts lead to the emergence of language that allows for an efficient communication and exhibits some degree of homonymy and synonymy. Although homonymy reduces the communication efficiency, it seems to be a dynamical trap that persists for a long, and perhaps indefinite, time. On the other han...

In this work, a concept representation model (FISCRM) has been developed, which is based on two types of fuzzy interrelations between words, synonymy and generality, obtained from a fuzzy dictionary of synonyms [1] and a fuzzy ontology respectively. The model has been put into the metasearcher FISS (Fuzzy Interrelations and Synonymy based Searcher) which is able to retrieve groups of web pages ...

most of the linguists and grammarians accepted the synonymy. the cause that made us deal with it again is achievement new accomplishments. beyond doubt, results that we harvested are important to understand the quran and hadiths. in this paper we want through discussion synonyms that sheikh alisaghir and the others referred to those show the points of difference and agreement.

In this article, ambiguity and synonymy effects were examined in lexical decision, naming, and semantic categorization tasks. Whereas the typical ambiguity advantage was observed in lexical decision and naming, an ambiguity disadvantage was observed in semantic categorization. In addition, a synonymy effect (slower latencies for words with many synonyms than for words with few synonyms) was obs...

In this study automatic lexical simplification via synonym replacement in Swedish was investigated using three different strategies for choosing alternative synonyms: based on word frequency, based on word length, and based on level of synonymy. These strategies were evaluated in terms of standardized readability metrics for Swedish, average word length, proportion of long words, and in relatio...
