Abstract:

We propose to use the visual denotations of linguistic expressions (i.e. the set of images they describe) to define novel denotational similarity metrics, which we show to be at least as beneficial as distributional similarities for two tasks that require semantic inference. To compute these denotational similarities, we construct a denotation graph, i.e. a subsumption hierarchy over constituents and their denotations, based on a large corpus of 30K images and 150K descriptive captions.

Abstract:

When creating a programming language, it is necessary to determine its syntax and semantics. The main task of syntax is to describe all constructions that are elements of the language. For this purpose, a specific syntax highlights syntactically correct sequences of characters of the language alphabet. Most often it is a finite set of rules that generate an infinite set of all construction languages, such as the extended Backus-Naur (BNF) form.To describe the semantics of the language, the preference is given to the abstract syntax, which in real programming languages is shorter and more obvious than specific. The relationship between abstract syntax objects and the syntax of the program in compilers solves the parsing phase.Denotational semantics is used to describe semantics. Initially, it records the denotations of the simplest syntactic objects. Then, with each compound syntactic construction, a semantic function is associated, which by denotations of components of a design calculates its value – denotation. Since the program is a specific syntactic construction, its denotation is possible to determine using the appropriate semantic function. Note that the program itself is not executed when calculating its denotation.The denotative description of a programming language includes the abstract syntax of its constructions, denotations – the meanings of constructions and semantic functions that reflect elements of abstract syntax (language constructions) in their denotations (meanings).The use of the functional programming language Haskell as a metalanguage is considered. The Haskell type system is a good tool for constructing abstract syntax. The various possibilities for describing pure functions, which are often the denotations of programming language constructs, are the basis for the effective use of Haskell to describe denotational semantics.The paper provides a formal specification of a simple imperative programming language with integer data, block structure, and the traditional set of operators: assignment, input, output, loop and conditional. The ability of Haskell to effectively implement parsing, which solves the problem of linking a particular syntax with the abstract, allows to expand the formal specification of the language to its implementation: a pure function — the interpreter.The work contains all the functions and data types that make up the interpreter of a simple imperative programming language.

Abstract:

CF-reduplications refer to three different levels of a category: the prototype of a category, the subcategories in a category or a category itself. The CF-marked modifier receives the intension of a base word and produces a contingently determined denotation of CF-reduplications, on the basis of dynamic prototypes in the minds of speakers. The Contrastive Focus exhaustively selects the denotation of the CF-reduplications out of immediately relevant alternatives in the discourse with the exclusive implication that only the denotation of the reduplicated expression is intended by speakers. CF-reduplications semantically have dynamically changing denotations and pragmatically facilitate the communication between speakers with contrastive focus effects.

Abstract:

This paper presents a study to simulate the performance of steel-plate composite bridge under various blasting loads. The multi-Euler domain method based on the fully coupled Lagrange and Euler models is adopted for the structural analysis of explosion process with the commercial software Autodyn. Due to the difference of material characteristics and space distribution between the concrete and steel part, the most adverse position is estimated to be above and below detonation. A remarkable difference between these two explosive denotations for steel-concrete composite bridge is noted, and the failure mode above denotation is the damage of local concrete deck, with the compression mode near the denotation point showing a standard trigonometric curve. The failure mode below denotation includes damage of steel girders and concrete failure near junction.

Abstract:

We consider a functional language that performs non-deterministic tests on real numbers and define a denotational semantics for that language based on Smyth powerdomains. The semantics is only an approximate one because the denotation of a program for a real number may not be precise enough to tell which real number the program computes. However, for many first-order total functions f : n → , there exists a program for f whose denotation is precise enough to show that the program indeed computes the function f. In practice, it is not difficult to find programs like this that possess a faithful denotation. We provide a few examples of such programs and the corresponding proofs of correctness.

Abstract:

In linguistics, there are different ideas about the ratio of the denotative and connotative sides of the meaning of a word. Despite the fact that additional contextual semantics, as a rule, has a larger information volume, connotative meanings are invariably perceived as secondary to denotative ones. Obviously, there is a pattern linking denotation with the connotation formed on its basis. The article considers the difference in connotations of quite distant from each other in terms of the degree of concreteness of words — nominal vocabulary denoting abstract concepts, and specific nouns of the thematic group of zoonyms. The result of the comparison is the conclusion about the correspondence of the volume of connotation and denotation as an inversely proportional dependence: the narrower the area of denotation, the greater the qualitative and quantitative potential of the word to develop connotative meaning, and vice versa — the more magnificent the bouquet of semantic elements associated with emotions, ratings, and ideas about the non-material side of the world, the less the lexeme has opportunities for the formation of additional values outside certain secondary modeling systems.

Abstract:

While documentary is generally thought to value clarity and denotation, this article examines nonfiction documentary forms where more poetic practices have served as a communicative, if not denotative, tool. Accounts of the first extended underwater observation by pioneering divers like William Beebe, Hans Hass, Philippe Tailliez, and Philippe Diolé used literary allusions and fanciful rhetoric to express the implausible conditions of this alien environment, in a practice that reached its height before the flowering of underwater color and documentary cinema in the mid-1950s.

Abstract:

This article deals with deverbal nominalizations in Spanish; concretely, we focus on the denotative distinction between event and result nominalizations. The goals of this work is twofold: first, to detect the most relevant features for this denotative distinction; and, second, to build an automatic classification system of deverbal nominalizations according to their denotation. We have based our study on theoretical hypotheses dealing with this semantic distinction and we have analyzed them empirically by means of Machine Learning techniques which are the basis of the ADN-Classifier. This is the first tool that aims to automatically classify deverbal nominalizations in event, result, or underspecified denotation types in Spanish. The ADN-Classifier has helped us to quantitatively evaluate the validity of our claims regarding deverbal nominalizations. We set up a series of experiments in order to test the ADN-Classifier with different models and in different realistic scenarios depending on the knowledge resources and natural language processors available. The ADN-Classifier achieved good results (87.20% accuracy).

Abstract:

The usage of the paired terms of denotation and connotation are one means by which language provides for the declarative knowing of all things; denotation is a naming by means of indication, whereas connotation is that which incites the specificity of meaning to a particular thing. Where the denotative assumes a recessive posturing of a formal ambiguity, the connotative proceeds towards a greater clarity with the intention of potential certainty and separateness in meaning. In the same manner as with language, the denotative in architecture responds to the elemental analogue operatively as a background within a field of signification, whereas the connotative responds to the elemental analogue exemplifying an objectification through categorical distinction. The use of the term denotation as the title of this exploration is to instate the accompanying text within the resonance of the denotative background in an attempt to circumvent a connotative, architectural objectification, at times operating under the guise of evidential justification. This circumvention, by means of the denotative positioning, is not meant as a vindication of the architectural object; rather, it is meant as a critique of the autonomy of the object and the foreground that it inhabits. This use of denotative background (not as a dialectical or teleological response to the connotative object) is to provide for an ungrounding in the work to the primacy of object as architectural edification.

Abstract:

This thesis presents a descriptive empirical study of deverbal nominalizations. Very often what can be expressed by means of a deverbal noun can also be expressed by means of a verbal construction and vice-versa. Deverbal nouns are hybrid categories that have a mixture of verbal and nominal features. These nouns can denote either the action named by the base verb, being, in this case, a paraphrase of a verbal construction, or the result of that action. If nouns denoting processes are closer to verbs, nouns denoting a result, that is, a concrete or an abstract entity resulting from the action, are closer to nouns. Both result and event nouns inherit the argument structure of the base verb. These analyses of the lexical denotation of deverbal nouns and their argument structure are two of the main aims of this thesis. The third goal is the descriptive and comparative study of translation mismatches between Russian and Spanish deverbal noun constructions. The thesis is structured in the following way in order to cover these three points. In the first chapter, we present a brief introduction of the whole thesis, we highlight the main goals and motivations for carrying out this threefold study. In the second chapter, we describe the linguistic resources used in the development of this project. We first introduce the monolingual and bilingual corpora, and then, the lexicons. In the third chapter, we discuss the relationship between the morphological and lexical aspects of the base verb and the lexical denotation of the deverbal noun. We also study other factors that may influence the lexical denotation of the deverbal noun. In the fourth chapter, we present the study of the argument structure of deverbal nouns focusing on the type of constituent that can be an argument, how the arguments are realized and their possible combinations, which ends in the obtention of the more freqüent syntactico-semantic patterns. In chapter five, we present the descriptive and comparative study of translation mismatches of deverbal nouns between Russian and Spanish. We provide our classification of the translation mismatches depending on the interrelation and number of linguistic changes (morphologic, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic) involved. Finally, in the last chapter we present our conclusions and ideas for further research.
Aquesta tesi presenta un estudi descriptiu empíric sobre les nominalitzacions deverbals del rus. Molt sovint, allò que es pot expressar a través d’un nom deverbal es pot expressar també a través d’una construcció verbal. Els noms deverbals són categories mixtes que barregen trets verbals amb trets nominals. Aquests noms poden expressar l’acció denotada pel verb base, en aquest cas es poden considerar paràfrasis d’una construcció verbal, o bé el resultat de l’acció. Així doncs, els noms deverbals que denoten l’acció del verb estan més a prop del verb, mentre que els noms deverbals que denoten el resultat de l’acció, és a dir, una entitat concreta o abstracta, estan més a prop del nom. Partim de la hipòtesi que ambdós tipus de nom hereten l’estructura argumental del verb base. Aquestes dues anàlisis, és a dir, l’estudi de la denotació lèxica del nom deverbal i de l’estructura argumental dels noms deverbals són dos dels tres objectius principals de la tesi. El tercer objectiu és l’estudi descriptiu i comparatiu dels desajustos de traducció entre les construccions amb noms deverbals en rus i castellà. La tesi s’estructura de la manera següent: En el primer capítol, presentem una breu introducció a la tesi on descrivim els objectius i les motivacions principals d’aquest estudi. En el segon capítol, es descriuen els recursos lingüístics que hem utilitzat en el transcurs del treball. Primer, introduïm els corpora monolingües i bilingües i, finalment, els lexicons. En el tercer capítol, analitzem la relació entre l’aspecte morfològic i lèxic del verb base. També estudiem altres factors que poden influir en la denotació lèxica del nom deverbal. En el quart capítol, presentem l’estudi de l’estructura argumental dels noms deverbals centrant-nos en el tipus de constituent que pot ser argumental, com es realitzen els arguments i les seves possibles combinacions. D’aquesta anàlisi, en resulta l’obtenció dels patrons sintàctico-semàntics dels noms deverbals més freqüents. En el cinquè capítol, presentem l’estudi descriptiu i comparatiu dels desajustos de traducció entre el rus i el castellà. En aquest capítol proposem una classificació de desajustos de traducció en funció de la interrelació i el nombre de canvis lingüístics (morfològics, sintàctics, semàntics i pragmàtics). Finalment, en el darrer capítol presentem les nostres conclusions i idees per a una futura recerca.

Abstract:

My research centers around the representation of traumatic or otherwise extreme human experiences through modes of fictional writing. I am essentially looking into the renderings of unspeakable subject matter that occupies a liminal space in language's functioning. I aim to explore the potentialities of the most irredeemably strange or seemingly incoherent experiences of others, and show that they can be accessed and expressed. Accessing these types of memories or experiences by narrative and the techniques of fictional literature, brings us to a deeper understanding of and engagement with an experience when it is not our own. I believe that looking into the formal techniques of literature can function to provide a point of entry into addressing the integrity and expressibility of experiences and memory's functioning. In my initial section, I aim to give a general sense of the functional definitions and critical influences of the themes of narrative, witness, trauma, and testimony. The difficulties and paradoxes of coherent traumatic witnessing and testimonies are addressed through Laub, Felman, and Agamben - and I suggest that there is a need for something outside the realm of strict nonfiction and memoir in order to keep stories of extreme human experience alive in a cultural consciousness. Ultimately, I posit that the work of imaginative writing benefits and bypasses some of the discrepancies of testimony by means of some of the latitudes allowed by the formal aspects of fiction. The texts whose formal elements are addressed are W.G. Sebald's Austerlitz and Anne Michaels's Fugitive Pieces. Using Austerlitz, I attend to the themes of alienation through looking specifically at narrative style. Using Michel de Certeau's theory of the everyday, I suggest that the contours of the familiar have a specific capacity for expressing profundity in such a way in that they serve as a place of remembering and forgetting. The world to which most people can relate can be the location of an engagement with an experience that was perhaps beforehand beyond the realm of recognizable language. Through Michaels's text, I explore the value of acknowledging a suspicion of language for its shortcomings for capturing the essence of descriptions. Following this, I also make a case for the value of empathic readings, as they serve the purpose of redemption and of fostering hope and healing in the wake of traumatic memory.

Abstract:

Published Article
Change in the world is reflected in almost every aspect of our lives – how we live, eat, communicate, etc. For reasons of authentication the mass media use real people in real life settings to convince real people to buy or use a product or service. For this reason it can be argued that the mass media (especially advertisements) offer a particular view of society. It is within such a specific system of belief that the mass media sell certain desires. Without a specific system of belief it is not possible to sell certain desires, for example: fitness (not sport shoes), beauty (not lipstick), etc. This view of the world offered by advertisements is unique to this genre and therefore the advertising genre can be identified, with its unique characteristics and conventions, within the bigger media world. Concepts such as morality, values and desire lead to the concept myth which forms the focus of this research. The focus of this research was to identify the meaningful denotative and connotative signs in print advertisements given the expected reaction of the target market; to identify the desires being sold in print advertising messages on the basis of the meaningful denotative and connotative signs and finally to identify the marketing myths forming the basis for selling the abovementioned desires.

Abstract:

Mitt examensarbete utgår från ett tidningsfotografi som var med i Svenska Dagbladets näringslivsbilaga den 4 augusti 2009. Det är ett fotografi av tre män i motljus som rör sig i Kaupthing Banks huvudkontor i Reykjavik på Island. Tidningsbilden illustrerar en dramatisk händelse i den isländska finanshistorien. Rubriken lyder "Kompislån drev på bankkrasch". Artikeln och artiklarna som följer under några år, beskriver hur ett fåtal islänningar har lånat pengar och köpt upp norska och brittiska banker, för att senare låna ut tiotals miljoner kronor till bankens ägare och sina kompisar, ofta utan säkerhet. Följden blir att Islands ekonomi kraschar och varenda islänning dras med i den största ekonomiska krisen som landet har varit med om i modern tid. Jag fascinerades av det till synes lugnt estetiska fotografiet som är ovanligt som illustration på närngslivssidorna i en dagstidning. Jag fick lust att undersöka bilden närmare med hjälp av metoden semiotisk näranalys. Det är denna analysmetod och tillämpningen av metoden på tidningsfotografiet och hela tidningsidan som uppsatsen handlar om. I den gestaltande delen av mitt examensarbete har jag målat en förstoring av tidningsfotografiet och lagt till en leksak som visar på de personliga associationer som bilden väcker hos mig. Kontrasten mellan det strikta lite dämpade motljusfotografiet av tre kostymklädda män och ansiktet av ett litet lyckotroll som spränger genom duken förändrar bilden påtagligt. I den semiotiska näranalysen försöker jag analysera det konnotativa budskapet som bilden förmedlar på en kollektiv nivå. Mitt lyckotroll får stå för något som i semiotiken kallas för punctum, det vill säga individuella assiociationer som uppstår hos mig. Genom att måla motivet har jag genom handens arbete lärt känna bilden på ett annat sätt än när jag endast ser på den.

Abstract:

Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera hur IKEA framställer mänskliga- och sociala relationer i sin marknadsföring. Samt, genom analysen, undersöka hur IKEA skapar bilden av företaget, varumärket, reklambudskapet och deras image genom att framställa vissa mänskliga relationer. Enda sedan den första IKEA-katalogen utgavs åt 1951 har katalogen varit den viktigaste marknadsföringskanalen för företaget. Därför har vi valt att undersöka just katalogen från år 2016 med hjälp av en semiotisk analys. Även tre reklamfilmer med titlarna Laga mat med barn, Leva utan dörr och Grannar tillsammans kommer analyseras med hjälp av semiotik som metod och teori. Vi har endast fokuserat på bilderna och ej på texter som framkommer i reklamen. I och med uppsatsens syfte har vi valt att utgå ifrån följande frågeställning: Hur framställs mänskliga relationer i IKEA-katalogen från 2016? Kan vi urskilja stereotyper i de sociala sammanhangen? Vilka konnotationer respektive denotationer går att urskilja och vilka semiotiska myter skapas? Resultatet av studien påvisar hur IKEA som, enligt eget uttalande, ett värderingstyrt företag arbetar med marknadsföring genom att exponera det kulturella värdet ”gemenskap”. De fokuserar inte främst på varornas priser utan ger oss istället idéer om hur vi på bästa sätt kan få en effektiv vardag genom att köpa deras produkter. Deras varor öppnar upp för att vi som konsumenter ska kunna hitta den gemenskap IKEA presenterar.

Abstract:

Denna uppsats har undersökt vilka tekniska tecken Peter Jackson har använt sig av för att restaurera gamla originalklipp från första världskriget för att skapa sin dokumentärfilm They Shall Not Grow Old, och vad dessa denotativa tecken ger för konnotationer hos publiken. En kvalitativ semiotisk analys har använts som metod för att svara på problemställningen ”Hur kan tekniska restaureringar av ett filmmaterial tolkas som visuella tecken i filmen They shall not grow old, och vilka möjliga betydelser kan dessa tecken ha”? Som avgränsning har arbetet enbart tittat på de tekniska restaureringarna som Jackson har gjort och ignorerat andra aspekter som narrativ, vad som visas och vad det är som sägs. Resultatet blev att denotativa tecken som bildkvalitet, 3D, färg, frames/sekund och ljud gav olika konnotationer, och hur dessa tolkades baserades på sin kontext och vem det var som analyserade filmen.
This paper has examined the technical signs Peter Jackson has used to restore old original film footage from World War I to create his documentary Film They Shall Not Grow Old, and what connotations these denotative signs brings to the audience. A qualitative semiotic analysis has been used as a method to answer the problem: "How can technical restorations of a film material be interpreted as visual signs in the film They shall not grow old, and what possible meanings can these signs have"? As a demarcation, the work has only looked at the technical restorations that Jackson has done and ignored other aspects such as narrative, what is shown and what it is said. As a result, denotative signs such as image quality, 3D, color, frames/second, and sound produced different connotations, and how these were interpreted depended on their context and the person analyzing the film.

Abstract:

The paper examines the media portrayal of real women in Dove’s Real Beauty Campaign. Through the semiotic analysis and reception analysis of the ad “Evolution”, the author investigates how Dove attempts to challenge the myth in most beauty advertising and present the “real beauty” idea to the audiences. The study further discusses about the gender issues aroused from the campaign. The findings show that the untouchable images of women are created under the pressures of male-dominated culture. In terms of feminism, the definition of beauty needs to be diversified. The significance of the campaign lies in its business success and social meaning as well. In the end, the paper reviews the impacts of this five-year-old campaign and gives further suggestions on its future development.Keywords:Real Beauty, Denotation, Connotation, Myth, Self-esteem, Media, Feminism, Gender

Abstract:

Definite descriptions are phrases of the form ‘the x such that φ’, used to refer to single entities in a context. They are often more meaningful to users than individual names alone, in particular when modelling or querying data over ontologies. We investigate free description logics with both individual names and definite descriptions as terms of the language, while also accounting for their possible lack of denotation. We focus on the extensions of ALC and, respectively, EL with nominals, the universal role, and definite descriptions. We show that standard reasoning in these extensions is not harder than in the original languages, and we characterise the expressive power of concepts relative to first-order formulas using a suitable notion of bisimulation. Moreover, we lay the foundations for automated support for definite descriptions generation by studying the complexity of deciding the existence of definite descriptions for an individual under an ontology. Finally, we provide a polynomial-time reduction of reasoning in other free description logic languages based on dual-domain semantics to the case of partial interpretations.

Abstract:

Cervical cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer death for women in the United States. The current treatment with chemotherapy drugs has significant side effects and may cause harm to healthy cells rather than cancer cells. In order to combat the potential side effects, nanoparticles composed of mesoporous silica were created to house the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX). The silica network contains the drug, and a pH study was conducted to determine the conditions for the nanoparticle to disperse the drug. The introduction of disulfide bonds within the nanoparticle created a framework to efficiently release 97% of DOX in acidic environments and 40% release in neutral environments. The denotation of acidic versus neutral environments was important as cancer cells are typically acidic. The chemistry was proved with the incubation of the loaded nanoparticle into HeLa cells for a cytotoxicity report and confocal imaging. The use of the framework for the anticancer drug was shown to be effective for the killing of cancerous cells.
