Abstract:

The article dwells upon the semantic environment of the noun child as the most frequently used noun in J. Dewey’s monograph “The Child and the Curriculum”. Distributive analysis and continuous sampling methods applied to the noun “child” highlight lexical units semantically related to the noun “child”. The syntactic functions of the selected lexical units, their semantic classes according to the classification in Roget’s Thesaurus and the intersection areas of semantic classes are studied. The lexical units from the environment of the word “child” are allocated to semantic areas and subject rows. The structure of lexical units from the environment of the noun “child”, their semantic classes, semantic areas and subject rows, as well as the intersection areas of semantic classes are studied depending on the syntactic functions of the noun “child”. The results of the analysis are compared with the pedagogical ideas presented in the monograph under study, which allows making linguistically grounded conclusions concerning the topic of J. Dewey’s monograph. The description of a child in the framework of the monograph under study is analyzed and the nature of the described activity of the child is defined. The study of belonging of lexical units from the environment of the noun ’child’ to semantic classes, thematic rows, and semantic areas of words allows obtaining a collective image of a child and drawing conclusions about the practical application of J. Dewey’s ideas.

Abstract:

Knowing the degree of semantic contrast between words has widespread application in natural language processing, including machine translation, information retrieval, and dialogue systems. Manually created lexicons focus on opposites, such as hot and cold. Opposites are of many kinds such as antipodals, complementaries, and gradable. Existing lexicons often do not classify opposites into the different kinds, however. They also do not explicitly list word pairs that are not opposites but yet have some degree of contrast in meaning, such as warm and cold or tropical and freezing. We propose an automatic method to identify contrasting word pairs that is based on the hypothesis that if a pair of words, A and B, are contrasting, then there is a pair of opposites, C and D, such that A and C are strongly related and B and D are strongly related. (For example, there exists the pair of opposites hot and cold such that tropical is related to hot, and freezing is related to cold.) We will call this the contrast hypothesis. We begin with a large crowdsourcing experiment to determine the amount of human agreement on the concept of oppositeness and its different kinds. In the process, we flesh out key features of different kinds of opposites. We then present an automatic and empirical measure of lexical contrast that relies on the contrast hypothesis, corpus statistics, and the structure of a Roget-like thesaurus. We show how, using four different data sets, we evaluated our approach on two different tasks, solving “most contrasting word” questions and distinguishing synonyms from opposites. The results are analyzed across four parts of speech and across five different kinds of opposites. We show that the proposed measure of lexical contrast obtains high precision and large coverage, outperforming existing methods.

Aesthetics and Ethics of Pedagogical Action, no. 15 (March 9, 2017): 45–56. http://dx.doi.org/10.33989/2226-4051.2017.15.175875.

Abstract:

The article reveals the concept formation of interactive teaching of foreign languages in higher educational establishments of Ukraine (second half of XX – beginning of XXI centuries). It has been determined that the term "interactive teaching" is relatively new one. Its implementation to the pedagogical thesaurus was carried out in the 90s of XX century, when the concept apparatus of pedagogical science was enriched actively by the research achievements of related sciences. It is proved that the concept "interactive teaching" by itself comes from the term "interactivity", which at that time was widely used in sociology.Based on the analysis of the leading scientific researches: sociological – symbolic interactionism, role theories and reference group theories (H. Blumer, M. Kun, J. Mid etc.), psychological – the concept of humanistic psychology (A. Maslow, K. Rogers, D. Moreno and others), social perceptual cognitive theory (K. Levin, F. Haider, T. Newcom, L. Festinger), pedagogical − the theory of active learning, studies concerning intensification of education, providing cognitive activity, formation of educational and dialogical interaction (V. Guzieiev, M. Klarin, E. Polat, V. Slastonin etc.) it has been defined the scientific sources of the concept development of interactive teaching of foreign languages in higher education of Ukraine achievements of the second half of XX – beginning of XXI century. The study found that some scholars attribute concept formation of interactive teaching with the development of the Internet. Studying the phenomenon of interactive teaching in this dimension involves focusing attention on the implementation of information technologies, distance education, usage of Internet resources also e-books and reference books, work online and so on into educational process. At the same time, there is a view that interprets interactive nature of learning with more wider general and pedagogical standpoint as the ability to interact or be in the mode of dialogue with anyone (for example, a human being − teacher, student etc.) or anything (e.g., a computer). The contradiction on the understanding of the term "interactive teaching" lies in the scientific origins of the outlined problem, namely in the history of formation and development of the interactive teaching concept. It was found that the concept development of the interactive teaching of foreign languages was carried out on the basis of the so-called traditional model, which envisages the application of consciously comparative (L. Shcherba) and consciously practical (B. Beliaiev) teaching methods. The necessity to improve the process of teaching foreign languages has led to the justification of the intensive method (H. Lozanov), the method of "enhancing of the individual and collective capabilities" (H. Kytaihorodska), the method of "integrative linguistic and psychological training" (I. Rumiantseva) etc. It is proved that the scientific researches of the named scholars with the aim of implementing the identified innovations in educational practice have become a driving force in the concept development of interactive teaching of foreign languages in higher education of Ukraine of the study period.

Abstract:

Thesauruses, or if you are more classically inclined thesauri, appear to be in vogue. In ET12 (Oct 87), we reviewed the latest Longman revision of Roget's Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases, which the company had first published in 1852. Then, in ET14 (Apr 88) we drew attention to the rather surprising facsimile reproduction by Bloomsbury of the original 1852 Roget. Now, it is both relevant and important to highlight some developments on the part of a third British publisher, Collins, who have brought out not one but two new wordbooks:• The COLLINS School Thesaurus, ISBN 0-00-313318-4, £5.95: This is actually an Australian work, first published by Jacaranda Press in 1986 under the copyright of Macquarie University, New South Wales, and edited by Linsay Knight. The blurb claims ‘over 940 word groups, each consisting of words and phrases with closely related meanings’. The keyword in each group is explained, after which its associate words take their turn, as shown in the group for the verb fall reproduced below. The school thesaurus is a concise and powerful tool, lucidly organized and complemented by an easy-to-use index.• The COLLINS Dictionary and Thesaurus in One Volume, 0-00-433186-9, £11.95; Collins already had a concise version of their standard dictionary of English, and a companion thesaurus. The trick here has been to combine them, so that the thesaurus section runs along the bottom of each page, in time with the alphabetic columns. The blurb says: ‘Here for the first time in one handy volume the reader is offered a general-purpose Dictionary and a Thesaurus in dictionary form’. And the blurb is right, as far as we know. Collins claim 71,000 dictionary references and 250,000 thesaurus ‘synonyms’. We already have on our shelves the volumes before they were unified, and have concluded that the unification is to be preferred. (See sample page.)

Abstract:

Bryant, Jen. The Right Word: Roget and His Thesaurus. Illus. M. Sweet. Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans Books for Young Readers. 2014. Print.Although it is difficult to find the ‘right word’ to describe this book, thanks to Peter Roget, it is much easier … exceptional, marvelous, superb, pleasing, or wonderful. Jen Bryant and Melissa Sweet have teamed up to write their third picture book biography, this time about Peter Mark Roget and the journey that culminated with the publication of his Thesaurus.The story takes us through the life of Peter Roget, from a shy and lonely child to a successful doctor. Peter discovered as a child that books made good friends, and he developed a love of words. Throughout his life and experiences, Peter organized words into lists, enabling him to find the right words when he needed them. With the encouragement of his children much later in life, Peter spent three more years finalizing and organizing his many lists. In 1852, his Thesaurus was published.Complimenting this story is a visual experience comprised of a collage of paintings and mixed media. The effect is entrancing, giving the eye so many wonderful treasures to discover to go along with the text. While the magic of getting the answer to a question you did not know you had may be lost on children who have never seen a Roget’s Thesaurus, it is still a delightful book. Younger children will connect with one of the many aspects of Peter’s life growing up and the wide array of illustrations. Older children will connect with deeper themes, and pour over the many facets of the mixed media illustrations. And don’t miss the timeline, author’s note, and illustrator’s note at the end!As soon as I finished the book, I immediately turned to the beginning to read through again and see what I might discover the second time through.Highly Recommended: 4 out of 4 stars Reviewer: Cindy JacksonCindy loved to read to her children as they were growing up, and now continues to impart her love of stories as a teacher with her grade six students. One of Cindy’s claims to fame is her daughter, who now carries on the tradition of storytelling with HER grade two students! Cindy is currently working on her Masters at the University of Alberta, focusing on language and literacy.

Abstract:

Abstract As a ubiquitous method in natural language processing, word embeddings are extensively employed to map semantic properties of words into a dense vector representation. They capture semantic and syntactic relations among words, but the vectors corresponding to the words are only meaningful relative to each other. Neither the vector nor its dimensions have any absolute, interpretable meaning. We introduce an additive modification to the objective function of the embedding learning algorithm that encourages the embedding vectors of words that are semantically related to a predefined concept to take larger values along a specified dimension, while leaving the original semantic learning mechanism mostly unaffected. In other words, we align words that are already determined to be related, along predefined concepts. Therefore, we impart interpretability to the word embedding by assigning meaning to its vector dimensions. The predefined concepts are derived from an external lexical resource, which in this paper is chosen as Roget’s Thesaurus. We observe that alignment along the chosen concepts is not limited to words in the thesaurus and extends to other related words as well. We quantify the extent of interpretability and assignment of meaning from our experimental results. Manual human evaluation results have also been presented to further verify that the proposed method increases interpretability. We also demonstrate the preservation of semantic coherence of the resulting vector space using word-analogy/word-similarity tests and a downstream task. These tests show that the interpretability-imparted word embeddings that are obtained by the proposed framework do not sacrifice performances in common benchmark tests.

Abstract:

It is my pleasure to be contributing this editorial for the Deakin Review of Children’s Literature.My name is Lynne Wiltse and I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Elementary Education at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta. I teach courses in language and literacy and children’s literature, and have eagerly read each issue of the Deakin Review of Children’s Literature since its inception in 2011. I have made sure to introduce my students to this valuable resource. For example, I have the undergraduate students in my children’s literature course undertake an assignment that requires them to explore the site in detail. With its feature editorial and reviews of contemporary English-language texts for children and young adults, the Deakin Review is an excellent resource for prospective teachers. This is the second time that the graduate students in my Children's Literature in the Elementary School (EDEL 510) course have participated by writing book reviews for a Special Issue of the Deakin Review (the reviews were published in Vol 4, No 4, 2015). The first time my students took part in this initiative was such a powerful learning experience that the next time I was due to teach the course, I approached the editorial team to see if we could recreate the opportunity. The result is this Special Issue. Once again, I am delighted with the diverse range of books my students selected for review. With the 2015 issue, the book review of The Right Word: Roget and His Thesaurus, introduced me to the amazing author and illustrator team of Jen Bryant and Melissa Sweet. I have since read all their other biographies written for children. This year, Ada Twist Scientist, written by Andrea Beaty and illustrated by David Roberts, one of the books selected for review, really caught my attention. I can’t wait to read Beaty’s other books! As most of my students are practicing elementary teachers, we focused on picture books for young children at the K-6 level. These graduate students were able to apply what they were learning about visual literacy and evaluating picture books in our course to the picture books they had selected to review. We also discuss the importance of authentic writing opportunities for children; writing the reviews certainly proved to be an authentic writing experience for my students, one that they took very seriously. We are excited to see the published reviews. I thank Kim Frail and the rest of the editorial team of the Deakin Review of Children’s Literature for their support of this special issue.
