Directional distributional similarity for lexical inference

Natural Language Engineering, 2010
AbstractDistributional word similarity is most commonly perceived as a symmetric relation. Yet, directional relations are abundant in lexical semantics and in many Natural Language Processing (NLP) settings that require lexical inference, making symmetric similarity measures less suitable for their identification.

Perceptual Inference Through Global Lexical Similarity

Topics in Cognitive Science, 2012
AbstractThe literature contains a disconnect between accounts of how humans learn lexical semantic representations for words. Theories generally propose that lexical semantics are learned either through perceptual experience or through exposure to regularities in language. We propose here a model to integrate these two information sources. Specifically,

Adding phonetic similarity data to a lexical database

Language Resources and Evaluation, 2008
As part of a project to construct an interactive program which would encourage children to play with language by building jokes, we developed a lexical database, starting from WordNet. To the existing information about part of speech, synonymy, hyponymy, etc., we have added phonetic representations and phonetic similarity ratings for pairs of words ...

Yukian-Siouan Lexical Similarities

International Journal of American Linguistics, 1963
0. The small Yukian linguistic family of California comprises four languages in two divisions, one consisting of Wappo which is territorially separated from the remaining division (Yuki, Coast Yuki, Huchnom).2 Since Powell's 1891 classification3 Yukian has been recognized as a distinct group without clear external relationships. In 1906 Kroeber pointed

Lexical differences and similarities between Moroccan dialect and Arabic

2016 4th IEEE International Colloquium on Information Science and Technology (CiSt), 2016
This paper describes the relationship existing between Moroccan dialect (MD) and Arabic language through a comparative study to prove that those languages have a lot in common at the lexical level. For this purpose, we used ‘MDED’ an MD electronic lexicon containing 15000 entries that we have built in a previous work versus Modern Standard Arabic (MSA).

Transforming information in a digital way modifies the people views and their daily functioning. Social media is a key platform where people express their views regarding any event and it also plays an important role in daily activities. Digital marketing is an example of such digital transformation of information.

Extracting Local Web Communities Using Lexical Similarity

2010
The World Wide Web contains rich textual contents that are interconnected via complex hyperlinks. Most studies on web community extraction only focus on graph structures. Consequently, web communities are discovered purely in terms of explicit link information without considering textual properties of web pages.

Quantifying Dialect Similarity by Comparison of the Lexical Distribution of Phonemes

International Journal of Humanities and Arts Computing, 2008
This paper describes a new method for quantifying the similarity of the lexical distribution of phonemes in different varieties of a language (in this case English). In addition to introducing the method, it discusses phonological problems which must be addressed if any comparison of this sort is to be attempted, and applies the method to a limited ...
