Abstract:

Researches on Tolkappiyam occupy a unique place in the world of Tamil studies. When comparing and integrating the concepts of Tolkappiyam divided into three chapters with other fields such as linguistics, anthropology, folklore, history, psychology, etc., it can be seen that the meaning is based on the description of those fields. Linguists say that the research that explains the semantic field and the objects participating in it, the gaps found in the semantic field, the types of semantic field, etc. In the same way, the concepts in the traditions incorporated in the semantic chapter of Tolka

It is known that the collection of missing items is of great importance in contributing to the completion of our ancient linguistic dictionaries, filling the gaps in them and enriching their content. It contributes to reviving a root described as neglected, or helps to understand an ancient text or witness. The study concluded wit

We present a novel representation, evaluation measure, and supervised models for the task of identifying the multiword expressions (MWEs) in a sentence, resulting in a lexical semantic segmentation. Our approach generalizes a standard chunking representation to encode MWEs containing gaps, thereby enabling efficient sequence tagging algorithms for feature-rich discriminative models. Experiments on a new dataset of English web text offer the first linguistically-driven evaluation of MWE identification with truly heterogeneous expression types.

Recent advances in the field of descriptive semantics have greatly enhanced our interlingual ability to translate texts, especially the more difficult texts that rely heavily on ‘non-core lexicon’, the formal, learned and less familiar lexem

Abstract:

Word-finding difficulties are a hallmark of aphasia, often resulting from a breakdown in lexical-semantic processing. This disruption can make words difficult to retrieve due to issues with storage or accessibility. Impairments may occur at different levels of lexical processing—such as the lemma level, leading to verbal paraphasias, or at the phonological level, resulting in phonemic paraphasias. Cueing strategies are commonly employed to bridge these lexical-semantic gaps and support communication. Among the most widely used therapeutic approaches are Semantic Feature Analysis (SFA) an

This study aims to investigate the treatment of semantic features at word and phraseology levels in Arabic/English translation. It demonstrates by using enough textual data that translation involves significant decision-making at the levels of lexis and phraseology when considering semantic features.

The translator's awareness of semantic symmetries and asymmetries in the language pair constitutes a foundation stone in his work. At the word level, special attention should be paid to lexical and referential/cultura

Further, theoretical problems with the positions that children assign words to semantic fields as they are acquiring them and that innovations are used to fill lexical gaps make these stances untenable.

Abstract:

abstractEnglish speakers expressing futurity have the choice of two primary verb forms, will or be going to (BGT). Previous studies establish that BGT has multiple meanings not associated with will. Langacker (1987) rejected a metaphoric analysis of BGT (time is motion) as inadequate and offered a binary feature analysis. Brisard (2001) expanded on this analysis and argued that manipulating the configurations of binary features explains the semantic differences between will and BGT. However, Brisard’s analysis overlooks the semantic overlap among will, BGT, and the simple present. Moreover, it

For decades, scientists have been trying to solve the problem of dementia, with no cure currently available. Semantic–lexical impairment is well established as the early critical sign of dementia, although there are still gaps in knowledge that must be investigated. In this study, we used fMRI to observe the neural activity of 31 subjects, including 16 HC (Healthy Control) and 15 AD (Alzheimer’s Disease), who participated in the naming task. The neuropsychology profile of HC (Healthy Control) and AD (Alzheimer’s Disease) are discussed in this study. The involvement of FG (Fusiform Gyrus) and I

The article deals with the problems of filling cognitive-semantic gaps by borrowings-anglicisms denoting intolerant behavior. The authors present an analysis of some of the most frequent lexical units in different aspects: the meaning, frequency of use and word-formation potential of these lexemes are described, the specificity of the use of these lexemes in real and virtual communication are considered. Special attention is paid to media texts and the functioning of borrowings in the headlines. The authors also establish the features of assimilation of the vocabulary, its determinologization

Abstract Light Verb Constructions (LVCs) have received widespread attention. Research on these constructions, however, has for the most part focused exclusively on their syntactic and lexical-semantic properties. Additionally, studies devoted to specific LVCs tend to neglect the phrasal-semantic and pragmatic variation brought about by the combination of a light verb with different nominal complements. This paper tries to fill those gaps by means of a quantitative and qualitative corpus-based study of Light give Constructions (LgiveCs). The quantitative analysis investigates frequencies of Lgi

Two experiments investigated effects of exposure level and delay between learning and sleep on adults' consolidation of novel competitors (e.g. BANARA) to existing words (e.g. BANANA). Participants made speeded semantic decisions (i.e. a forced choice: natural versus man-made) to the existing words, with the expectation that novel word learning would inhibit responses due to lexical competition.

Translation is a multifaceted process that goes beyond a simple exchange of words between languages. Among its most intricate challenges are the semantic disparities that arise from culture-specific items (CSIs), whose meanings are deeply rooted in the source culture. These items present a significant barrier for translators, who must bridge the cultural and linguistic gaps between the source and target languages. This study explores the complexities of translating CSIs, focusing on the strategies employed to overcome the challenges posed by cultural differences, connotative meanings, and the

In this paper, we discuss the question of discourse markers (DM) – a category conceived differently by theoretical and applied linguistic approaches. Unlike in applied approaches, in which DMs are considered desemantized/grammaticalized lexical units devoid of their own semantics and therefore of status in the language, we consider DMs to constitute a full-fledged category of language, having its own semantics and distribution, both of which play a crucial role in the construction of discourse (Paillard 2011, 2012; Franckel 2008, 2019).
