The Geometry Of Preposition Meanings
The Baltic International Yearbook of Cognition, Logic and Communication, 2015 This article presents a unified approach to the semantics of prepositions based on the theory of conceptual spaces. Following the themes of my recent book The Geometry of Meaning, I focus on the convexity of their meanings and on which semantic domains ...

The grammar and semantics of near
CogniTextes, 2016 The cognitive linguistic interest in spatial prepositions is a relatively new research path. The question of their categorical status has not been resolved yet — linguists underline either their purely grammatical or lexical nature.

Projective and other locative PPs in Greek
Glossa, 2022 The distinction between projective and non-projective locative prepositions that has been proposed in the semantic literature (Zwarts & Winter 2000) is reflected in the syntax and morphology of Greek spatial expressions.

Modelling the Polysemy of Spatial Prepositions in Referring Expressions [PDF]
Proceedings of the Seventeenth International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, 2020 In previous work exploring how to automatically generate typicality measures for spatial prepositions in grounded settings, we considered a semantic model based on Prototype Theory and introduced a method for learning its parameters from data. However, though there is much to suggest that spatial prepositions exhibit polysemy, each term was treated as ...

Nordlyd: Tromsø University Working Papers on Language & Linguistics, 2007 In this paper I present the prepositional system in Persian. I show that Persian prepositions can be divided into three classes (Class 1, Class 2a and Class 2b) which exhibit distinct syntactic behavior.

Spatial lexicalization in the translation of prepositional phrases [PDF]
Proceedings of the 30th annual meeting on Association for Computational Linguistics -, 1992 A pattern in the translation of locative prepositional phrases between English and Spanish is presented. A way of exploiting this pattern is proposed in the context of a multilingual machine translation system under development.

A Classification Schema for Fast Disambiguation of Spatial Prepositions [PDF]
Proceedings of the 6th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on GeoStreaming, 2015 In the field of Artificial Intelligence the task of spatial language understanding is a particularly complex one. Textual spatial information is frequently represented by so-called locative expressions, incorporating spatial prepositions. However, apart from the spatial domain, these prepositions can occur in a wide range of senses (e.g., temporal ...

Open Linguistics, 2022 Research into Ugandan English places it in the nativisation phase of the evolution of Englishes, amidst a nexus of local acceptance with ingredients of endonormativity and ingrained exonormative traditions.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This work presents a magnetic bronchoscopy robot with a novel multi‐segment variable stiffness catheter. This catheter can not only move flexibly in the narrow bronchi but also harden according to the need to provide support. Combined with remote wireless magnetic field drive, it provides a more precise and effective solution for biopsy of deep lung ...

A Hybrid Neural Network and Virtual Reality System for Spatial Language Processing
, 2001 This paper describes a neural network model for the study of spatial language. It deals with both geometric and functional variables, which have been shown to play an important role in the comprehension of spatial prepositions.
