An account of inter-lexical polysemy in Italian prepositions: The case of per, tra, attraverso
Moderna Språk, 2023 The goal of this paper is to offer an account of an inter-lexical polysemy pattern connecting the three Italian prepositions per, tra and attraverso. It is shown via a corpus study that these prepositions can cover several related senses (i.e.

On the spatial uses of prepositions [PDF]
Proceedings of the 18th annual meeting on Association for Computational Linguistics -, 1980 At first glance, the spatial uses of prepositions seem to constitute a good semantic domain for a computational approach. One expects such uses will refer more or less strictly to a closed, explicit, and precise chunk of world knowledge. Such an attitude is expressed in the following statement:"Given descriptions of the shape of two objects, given ...

A computational model of the referential semantics of projective prepositions [PDF]
, 2006 In this paper we present a framework for interpreting locative expressions containing the prepositions in front of and behind. These prepositions have different semantics in the viewer-centred and intrinsic frames of reference (Vandeloise, 1991).

Three basic prepositions in French and in English : a comparison
Corela, 2017 The spatial uses of the French prepositions à, dans and sur may be translated by either at, in, on or to, into, onto, depending on whether the landmark introduces the actual or the prospective position of the target.

A semantic and language-based representation of an environmental scene [PDF]
, 2010 The modeling of a landscape environment is a cognitive activity that requires appropriate spatial representations. The research presented in this paper introduces a structural and semantic categorization of a landscape view based on panoramic photographs

Spatial prepositions in context [PDF]
Proceedings of the Third ACL-SIGSEM Workshop on Prepositions - Prepositions '06, 2006 The paper examines how people's judgements of proximity between two objects are influenced by the presence of a third object. In an experiment participants were presented with images containing three shapes in different relative positions, and asked to rate the acceptability of a locative expression such as 'the circle is near the triangle' as ...

Computational Models for Spatial Prepositions [PDF]
Proceedings of the First International Workshop on Spatial Language
Understanding, 2018 Developing computational models of spatial prepositions (such as on, in, above, etc.) is crucial for such tasks as human-machine collaboration, story understanding, and 3D model generation from descriptions. However, these prepositions are notoriously vague and ambiguous, with meanings depending on the types, shapes and sizes of entities in the ...

RUDN Journal of Language Studies, Semiotics and Semantics, 2019 The article presents the prepositions’ classification. The aim of the research is to classify prepositions by types and frequency use (quantitative and percentage ratio) in the story genre as a work of fiction (on A. S.

Negotiation and Conflict Management Research, EarlyView., 2020 Abstract Strategic word mimicry during negotiations facilitates better outcomes. We explore mimicry of specific word categories and perceptions of rapport, trust, and liking as underlying mechanisms. Dyads took part in an online negotiation exercise in which word mimicry was manipulated: Participants were instructed to mimic each other’s words (both ...
