analyser
▪
Conclusions: At present the semantic analyser uses only first level information.
▪
The syntactic analyser identifies the most syntactically acceptable word strings, whilst the semantic analyser identifies the most semantically plausible.
▪
Practical uses of this technique, and the interrelation with other knowledge sources within the semantic analyser are discussed below.
▪
Collocations represent a further linguistic constraint upon text, and as such may be exploited by the semantic analyser .
analysis
▪
This suggests that it is not only at the levels of syntactic and semantic analysis that language processing is interactive.
▪
This sentence would receive roughly the syntactic and semantic analysis shown in tree 6. 1.
▪
Phonological analysis also interacts with syntactic and semantic analysis.
▪
But semantic analysis also applies to those expressions that are made up of words: phrases and sentences.
▪
There is a parallel to this process of transformation in semantic analysis .
▪
This model allowed only semantic analysis , output from the syntactic analysis and feedback to the lexical and syntactic analysis was forbidden.
▪
It is suggested that semantic analysis using machine-readable dictionaries is restricted to their definitions and not their expansions.
▪
Rule-based methods offer some method of combining the two together - the grammar is able to provide information to the semantic analysis .
category
▪
The grammar took advantage of the limited domain by employing semantic categories and contained many domain specific word combinations.
change
▪
In the early post-war years, a semantic change is detectable.
▪
It is also the case that the structure of a semantic field plays a role in semantic change .
▪
The fact that this is partly a semantic change , reflects the existence of an underlying consensus.
▪
However semantic change often gives an unexpected bonus, which one should accept in this case as in others.
constraint
▪
The semantic constraint may take precedence over acoustic information. 4.2.2.2.
▪
This example illustrates again the important difference between semantic constraints and these sorts of pragmatic constraints.
▪
By choosing to override semantic constraints , the speaker will be speaking nonliterally.
content
▪
Their utterances are syntactically simpler, contain a narrower range of semantic content , and less frequently refer outside the here-and-now.
contrast
▪
Another useful and reliable intuition is that of recurrence of semantic contrast , or semantic proportion.
difference
▪
Most, but not all, of these grammatical differences are correlated with semantic differences.
element
▪
In other words, there is a syntactic or semantic element which might function deictically.
▪
The semantic elements represented by the radicals were not always added because they were needed as disambiguating elements.
field
▪
What dissimilar semantic fields are related through simile?
▪
It is difficult to be very precise about what counts as a semantic field .
▪
Do all time words form a semantic field ?
▪
It is also the case that the structure of a semantic field plays a role in semantic change.
information
▪
For example this can be syntactic and semantic information to ensure more meaningful results, especially for running text.
▪
Taking these two considerations together, it seems reasonable to conclude that semantic information is an integral part of a grammar.
▪
Useful semantic information therefore facilitates the incidence of meaningful strong overlaps in normal text.
▪
Give two reasons for including a representation of semantic information in a grammar. 2.
▪
The syntactic and semantic information about each of these words is then made available to the relevant processors.
▪
Both syntactic and semantic information could be used more effectively than at present.
▪
A number of sources of semantic information are identified, the most notable of which being machine-readable dictionaries and text corpora.
▪
A central issue is whether syntactic and semantic information contribute independently or interact in the comprehension process.
knowledge
▪
This thesis is concerned with the application of semantic knowledge to the problem of text recognition.
▪
The use of semantic knowledge , its theory, application and relevance to text recognition forms the basis of this thesis.
▪
The next section reviews published natural language applications that have in some way addressed the problem of semantic knowledge representation and processing.
▪
But it does appear that asking people what things mean is not necessarily the best way of tapping their semantic knowledge .
▪
Similarly, eye movement studies have been used to demonstrate the role of semantic knowledge in the reading process.
▪
Similarly, the use of semantic knowledge is described in other sections of this thesis.
net
▪
Detecting patterns in a large, complex semantic net is difficult to do without the aid of computer programs.
▪
The semantic net of remedial was expanding and expanding.
▪
In the bottom-up approach the paragraphs are first collected, and the semantic net is built as the paragraphs are indexed.
▪
Rough notes may be entered and do not need to be attached to the semantic net .
▪
To build and maintain a semantic net , indexing of paragraphs and semantic net construction go hand-in-hand.
▪
The purpose of the semantic net is to give people an overview of or handle on the content of the text.
▪
A semantic net lends itself to graphic display, and its meaning tends to be intuitively, if not formally, clear.
▪
The role of the semantic net is being explored in this new environment.
processing
▪
Dispersed through the above discussion are also elements from a kind of linguistic analysis which transcends the traditional syntactic and semantic processing .
▪
As with syntax there are two ways of approaching semantic processing .
▪
The relationship between syntactic and semantic processing has been a central concern of psycholinguistics for the last two decades.
▪
Humans perform both syntactic and semantic processing when reading.
▪
They also have the well-defined approach to semantic processing and have led to theoretically clean and fairly efficient computational representations. 3.2.2.
▪
Published literature on the role of semantic processing within computerised text recognition is sparse.
▪
The aim of semantic processing is to demote word combinations that are not meaningful.
▪
A second approach combines syntactic and semantic processing .
property
▪
But some symbols acquire their additional semantic properties from some characteristic they have as actions or things.
▪
The second question concerning the goals of a semantic theory is, How should the theory handle these semantic properties and relations?
▪
Like the theories Brooke-Rose criticizes in 1958, this view conceives of metaphor in terms of semantic property to be fought over and captured.
▪
Another important semantic property of words, in particular words put together into phrases, is anomaly.
relationship
▪
Hence the expansion of dictionary definitions descends into progressive generality, displaying a weaker and weaker semantic relationship with the original word.
▪
Relationships such as those shown in the hierarchy in Figure 12.1 are known as semantic relationships, representing connections between associated subjects.
▪
Syntactic relationships thus occur in documents, but are less permanent than semantic relationships.
system
▪
A pronunciation is addressed either with or without the mediation of the semantic system - our store of word meanings.
▪
We wish to distinguish between lexical input systems , lexical output systems, and a semantic system.
▪
The ambiguity of the social system is present in the semantic system too.
theory
▪
However, during the present project the limitations of the established semantic theories have become apparent.
▪
A number of semantic theories have been discussed; these are shown to differ widely in terms of their representational aspects.
▪
What should a semantic theory do, and how?
▪
There have been a number of semantic theories proposed.
▪
Thus, if an expression is meaningful, the semantic theory should say so.
▪
To what then, should the present project turn, for its semantic theories , principles, and data sources?
▪
If it has a specific set of meanings, the semantic theory should specify them.
EXAMPLES FROM OTHER ENTRIES
▪
The semantic distinction between "criticism" and "feedback" can be important.
EXAMPLES FROM CORPUS
▪
A semantic constituent which can not be segmented into more elementary semantic constituents will be termed a minimal semantic constituent.
▪
Another important semantic property of words, in particular words put together into phrases, is anomaly.
▪
How might we represent these kinds of facts in a semantic theory?
▪
However, during the present project the limitations of the established semantic theories have become apparent.
▪
It is, of course, perfectly possible for a sentence to exhibit semantic and grammatical deviance simultaneously: 7.
▪
Modifiers can create other complications for compositionality, which must also be reflected in a semantic theory of the language.
▪
The syntactic and semantic information about each of these words is then made available to the relevant processors.
▪
This example illustrates again the important difference between semantic constraints and these sorts of pragmatic constraints.
