This paper conjectures a computational account of how children might learn the meanings of words in their native language. First, a simplified version of the lexical acquisition task faced by children is modeled by a precisely specified formal problem. Then, an implemented algorithm for solving this formal problem is presented. Key advances of this algorithm over previously proposed algorithms ...

A quantitative comparative study of homonymy in four well-known electronic Spanish dictionaries—EuroWordNet and three traditional dictionaries—is presented. It is shown that though structuring of word senses is quite different in all dictionaries under comparison, EuroWordNet differs from the traditional dictionaries much more than these differ from each other. It is also shown that the orderin...

Aiming at the improvement of the quality of synthetic speech generated by our native TTS ARTIC, we adopted the unit selection method. Our unit selection module is driven by prosody described solely by high-level symbolic features which are linked to the prosody of synthesized phrases through the phenomena of prosodic synonymy and homonymy. It was confirmed that such an approach not only generat...

The paper deals with hot problems of current semantics that are interconnected with a fundamental question What is the meaning of a natural language expression? Our explication of the meaning is based on the key notion of Tichy’s Transparent Intensional Logic (TIL), namely that of the logical construction, an entity structured from the ‘algorithmic point of view’ (procedure), the structure of w...
