Abstract:
In this paper, we illustrate the merit of applying insights from Cognitive Linguistics to pedagogical grammar. We do so by examining English prepositions, long assumed to be one of the most difficult areas of acquisition for second language learners. The approach to the semantics of English prepositions we present is that developed in Evans and Tyler (2004a, b, In prep.) and Tyler and Evans (2001a, 2003). This account offers the following insights: 1) the concepts encoded by prepositions are image-schematic in nature and thus have an embodied basis. In other words, prepositions are not appropr

Abstract:
Abstract This paper is a contribution to a hitherto unexplored area in English-Czech contrastive semantics. It examines differences in the construal of walking, the most prototypical type of human locomotion. Based on the data from InterCorp, a synchronic parallel translation corpus, it presents a cognitive oriented analysis of the semantics of English walk and its nearest Czech counterparts, i.e. jít and kráčet. Despite their apparent commonalities, the verbs in question do not construe walking in the same way. In contrast to jít, the construal of a motion situation in walk and kráčet involve

Abstract This paper describes the semantics of static locative expressions in Amharic, particularly the variety spoken in Godʒdʒam. The analysis shows that the semantic category of a site subsumed under Path is exclusively expressed by an adposition. The adpositions can be specific and general locatives. The specific locatives show a specific type of topological relation (for instance, verticality as in tatʃtʃ ‘below, under,’ horizontality as in fit ‘front,’ containment as in wɨst’ ‘in’) between figure and ground entities, but not the general locatives.

Abstract:
Adopting the framework of Cognitive Grammar (CG), developed by Langacker (1987), this paper investigated the semantics of the preposition /ʕalaa/ in order to obtain a cognitive semantic analysis of this preposition as it is used in the Taizzi dialect, (TD from now onwards). Typically, /ʕalaa/ is used to encode verticality. That is, it is used to describe a spatial relation between two physical entities where one physical entity is located on/supported by another one. The crucial conundrum of /ʕalaa/ is that it is very appealing to be used in the locative sense in which one physical entity is L

Abstract:
The article reviewed the main cinematic techniques, themes and motives used by J. Val del Omar for the lyrical conceptualization of the image of the city in the film “Vibrations of Granada” (1935) and analyzed their semantics. It demonstrates how the documentary narrative splits into pure representation and an area of allegorical tension, supported by key metaphors as sources of expanded motives. The metaphor of the Garden of Eden represents Granada as an image of Paradise; the use of the motive of water as the main element of drama contributes to the actualization of philosophical semantics a

<p>I analyzed conventional metaphorical expressions in Brazilian Portuguese having lexicalized functional effects of spatial scenes as complements of the prepositions dentro de [inside], em [in, on, at], and fora de [out of]. The functional effects investigated were ‘protection’, ‘covering/hiding’, ‘control’, and ‘envelopment’, which constitute the family resemblance concept of Containment. I provided a cognitive account of these conventional expressions in terms of primary metaphors such as invisible is inside and<br />uncontrolled is outside, emerging through experiential correla

Abstract:
AbstractIn this commentary, I propose that horizontal and vertical dimensions of space are represented together inside a common metrics mechanism located in the parietal cortex. Importantly, this network is also involved in the processing of number magnitudes and environment-directed actions. Altogether, the evidence suggests that different magnitude dimensions could be intertwined with the horizontality and verticality of our world representation.

Language deficits are a major characteristic of neurobehavioral dysfunction in pediatric HIV disease. An object decision task, which assessed reaction time facilitation following a semantic or identical prime in comparison to an unrelated prime, was used to investigate whether semantic processing abnormalities could be responsible, in part, for these deficits. Thirty children with vertically acquired HIV infection (M age 9.0 years; range 6–13) participated.

Abstract:
Based on the openness and accessibility of user data, personality recognition is widely used in personalized recommendation, intelligent medicine, natural language processing, and so on. Existing approaches usually adopt a single deep learning mechanism to extract personality information from user data, which leads to semantic loss to some extent. In addition, researchers encode scattered user posts in a sequential or hierarchical manner, ignoring the connection between posts and the unequal value of different posts to classification tasks.

Metaphysicians often focus on what is vertically fundamental, appealing to grounding or truth-making, rather than what is horizontally fundamental: what must be common to any metaphysical picture of the universe. There is a case for causation being one such feature. But how should it be characterized? A revised semantics for counterfactuals provides the basis for a new counterfactual analysis of causation that is compatible with Humean supervenience but also appropriate for a non-Humean metaphysical framework.

This is a non computer scientist approach of a generalised representation of medical knowledge. Two important issues are discussed in this paper. The first issue is concerned with defining the necessary contents of what should be modelled. An attempt is made to define domains that should be included in the model. The extent of the model may be defined in two ways. Horizontally, by meaning the various domains to be included such as anatomy, therapy, and vertically to define the

Abstract:
One of the most semantically complex English prepositions is, undoubtedly, over. The polysemy of this preposition is evident in the sphere of physical, as well as metaphorical senses. One of its metaphorical senses is the sense of ‘power’ or ‘control’ which is the subject of this paper. Within this sense, over connects two entities, the prominent one having the power or control over the reference entity. This paper represents a review of various mechanisms used to derive the sense of ‘power’, as well as the comparison of the preposition over with the nearest synonymous form – the preposition a
