In a Machine Translation System (MTS), the number of possible analyses for a given sentence is largely dve to the ambiguous characteristics of the source language. In this paper, a mechanism, called "Score Function", is proposed for measuring the "quality" of the ambiguous syntax trees such that the one that best fits interpretation by human is selected. It is featured by incorporating the obje...

Many authors have argued that there exists a relation between case morphology, on the one hand, and semantic interpretation, on the other. A recurrent pattern is that the presence of overt case corresponds with a strong interpretation, i.e., definite, specific, whereas the absence of case corresponds with a weak interpretation, i.e., indefinite, non-specific. In this paper we argue on the basis...

1. Goal of the study The aim of this study is to describe and discuss word replacements found in the speech of aphasic patients in relation to existing theories and studies, focusing on: 1) a classification of word substitutions especially with regard to semantic factors 2) a possible multidimensionality in word substitutions 3) how context, especially type of spoken interaction, is related to ...

Several countries are currently working on setting up geoportals as part of their national spatial data infrastructure (SDI) (and this is also a requirement of the Inspire initiative). A key ability of these geoportals is that the user should be able to view (and download) data from several sources from one access point. This will certainly make the access to geospatial data easier. However, th...

A big-step modelling language (BSML) is a language in which a model can respond to an environmental input via a sequence of small steps, each of which may consist of the concurrent execution of a set of transitions. BSMLs are a popular class of modelling languages that are regularly reincarnated in different syntactic and semantic variations. In our previous work, we deconstructed the semantics...
