Toward a Deeper Lexical Semantics. [PDF]
Top Cogn SciAbstract A recurrent problem in lexical semantics is how “deep” the analysis of words and phrases should be. We argue for a deeper analysis of lexical meanings and for relatively rich representations. In particular, we argue that meanings do not form a homogeneous class of mental representations. Rather, they draw

Lexical Semantic Change Discovery [PDF]
Proceedings of the 59th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics and the 11th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing (Volume 1: Long Papers), 2021 While there is a large amount of research in the field of Lexical Semantic Change Detection, only few approaches go beyond a standard benchmark evaluation of existing models. In this paper, we propose a shift of focus from change detection to change discovery, i.e., discovering novel word senses over time from the full corpus vocabulary.

On the semantics of nonwords and their lexical category.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019 Using computational simulations, this work demonstrates that it is possible to learn a systematic relation between words’ sound and their meanings. The sound-meaning relation was learned from a corpus of phonologically transcribed child-directed speech by using the Linear Discriminative Learning (LDL) framework (Baayen, Chuang, Shafaei-Bajestan, & ...

Morphological cues for lexical semantics [PDF]
Proceedings of the 34th annual meeting on Association for Computational Linguistics -, 1996 Most natural language processing tasks require lexical semantic information. Automated acquisition of this information would thus increase the robustness and portability of NLP systems. This paper describes an acquisition method which makes use of fixed correspondences between derivational affixes and lexical semantic information. One advantage of this

Semantic Analysis of Persian Words Based on Format-Based Semantics [PDF]
̒Ilm-i Zabān, 2014 Format-based semantics was first proposed by Charles Fillmore after putting forward the notion of ‘format’ (1977a, 1977b, 1985, 1987) as a perspective in the framework of semantics. Fillmore, in this lexical approach, uses the term format as a method for

Lexical factors in the allocation of unique morphemes [PDF]
Južnoslovenski Filolog, 2023 The article characterizes the lexical factors influencing the allocation of unique morphemes (affixal and root morphemes), such as the lexical semantics of the word, its belonging to the active or passive language stock, the scope of its use and

Synonymic Traps in Selected English Lexical Semantics Terms
RUDN Journal of Language Studies, Semiotics and Semantics, 2019 The paper zooms in on terminological and conceptual scrutiny of selected eight English lexical semantics terms with the aim of pointing out their terminological synonymy, which is often misrecognized by English linguistics undergraduates.

The Algebra of Lexical Semantics [PDF]
, 2010 The current generative theory of the lexicon relies primarily on tools from formal language theory and mathematical logic. Here we describe how a different formal apparatus, taken from algebra and automata theory, resolves many of the known problems with the generative lexicon.

Modelling, Detection And Exploitation Of Lexical Functions For Analysis. [PDF]
, 2006 Lexical functions (LF) model relations between terms in the lexicon. These relations can be knowledge about the world (Napoleon was an emperor) or knowledge about the language (‘destiny’ is synonym of ‘fate’)
