The present paper is about French -ité nouns formation. More specifically, we are dealing with their interpretations. A deadjectival noun is a complex noun morphologically coined on an adjectival base. French deadjectival nouns formation (noted A > N) includes at least eight suffixes, as reported in Table 1. Actually, -ité is the most represented suffix in the biggest multivolume French diction...

The prevailing framework for solving referring expression grounding is based on a two-stage process: 1) detecting proposals with an object detector and 2) the referent to one of proposals. Existing solutions mostly focus step, which aims align expressions In this paper, we argue that these methods overlook obvious mismatch between roles in two stages: they generate solely detection confidence (...

Chierchia (1998) proposed that the semantic type of nouns varies across languages: in some languages, nouns denote entities; in others, nouns denote predicates; in yet others, nouns of both types are attested. Chierchia posits the existence of two parameters to account for this division— namely [±arg], which determines whether a language contains nouns denoting arguments, and [±pred], which det...

We have already proposed a framework to represent a location in terms of both symbolic and numeric aspects. In order to deal with vague linguistic expressions of a location, the representation adopts a potential function mapping a location to its plausibility. This paper proposes classification of Japanese spatial nouns and potential functions corresponding to each class. We focused on a common...

The distinction be tween mass nouns and count nouns, first r emarked upon by Jespersen (1909, vol. 2, eh. 5.2) in connect ion with English, is found in a number of the world 's languages, including Chinese, Tamil, G e r m a n and French. In English, the most c o m m o n way to distinguish these two classes of words is syntactic. Cardinal numerals and quasi-cardinal numerals (e.g. , "severa l" )...

Korean compound nouns may be written as a sequence of characters without blanks between unit nouns. For Korean processing systems, Korean compound nouns have to be first segmented into a sequence of unit nouns. However, the segmentation task is difficult because a sequence of characters may be ambiguously segmented to several sequences of appropriate unit nouns. Moreover, this task is not trivi...

Numerous theories have been proposed regarding the brain's organization and retrieval of lexical information. Neurophysiological dissociations in processing different word classes, particularly nouns and verbs, have been extensively documented, supporting the contribution of grammatical class to lexical organization. However, the contribution of semantic properties to these processing differenc...
