In their criticisms of traditional theories politeness, Watts et al. (2005 [1992]) and Eelen (2001) call for first-order approaches to (im)politeness. While ‘discursive approach’ has faced its own criticisms, one useful strand which emerged from this research is a focus on how (im)politeness evaluated discussed. However, compared other (im)politeness, such language received little attention. St...

The Bible Translator’s Assistant (TBTA) is a natural language generator (NLG) designed specifically for field linguists doing translation work in minority languages. In particular, TBTA is intended to generate drafts of the narrative portions of the Bible as well as numerous community development articles in a very wide range of languages. TBTA uses the rich interlingua approach. The semantic r...

One of the problems with contemporary semantic theories of natural language, such as Situation Semantics, Discourse Representation Theory and Dynamic Semantics, is that although they address similar semantic phenomena their widely diiering syntax and semantics make it diicult to compare their treatments of similar natural language semantic phenomena. It would be useful to describe these diieren...

We describe a recently launched project whose objective is to develop an advanced converter of natural language text to semantic structures. The project basically consists in enriching the ETAP-3 linguistic processor, developed by the Institute for Information Transmission Problems, Russian Academy of Sciences, with a new module – that of semantic analysis. An important feature of this module i...

A semantic formulation of Lindley and Stark’s >>-lifting is given. We first illustrate our semantic formulation of the >>-lifting in Set with several examples, and apply it to the logical predicates for Moggi’s computational metalanguage. We then abstract the semantic >>-lifting as the lifting of strong monads across bifibrations with lifted symmetric monoidal closed structures.

Interjection is a word used to express feelings or something spontaneously. In Indonesian there are many interjection words, but here what will be discussed an HA! which can in various spontaneous expressions. Not only that, have similarities and differences with interjections other languages. This study aims find the meaning of Ha! film "The sinking Van Der Wijck ship" work by famous writer fr...

One of the key goals of rewriting logic from its beginning has been to provide a semantic and logical framework in which many models of computation and languages can be naturally represented. There is by now very extensive evidence supporting the claim that rewriting logic is indeed a very exible and simple logical and semantic framework. From a language design point of view the obvious questio...

The central purpose of this study is to apply the NSM (Natural Semantic Metalanguage) method semantic-conceptual analysis word money and related economic transaction verbs, such as buy, sell pay, used in everyday English. It proposes semantic explications for these words on basis conceptual a range linguistic evidence taking account lexical polysemy. Even its basic meaning (in sentence like the...

We present here a global view of the syntactic shapes of the elementary sentences of French. This paper constitutes a synthesis of the numerous observations made on a set of about 12,000 verbs studied in the framework of lexicon-grammar (M. Gross 1975; J.-P. Boons, A. Guillet, C. Leclère 1976; G. Gross 1989; A. Guillet, C. Leclère 1992). The point of view is strictly formal, according to the no...
