SEMANTIC FEATURES AND SELECTION RESTRICTIONS
2. SEMANTIC FEATURE
ACCORDING TO U. WEINREICH
The semantic feature has several purposes:
Add provisional semantic
content to an
ambiguous word
Explain deviant
and
metaphorical readings
As a basis for
semantic agreement
The distinction made it possible to use
The notion in
a broader sense
than in
transformational
grammar
U. Weinreich proposed
A distinction between a paradigmatic semantic feature and a transfer function.
5. ON SEMANTIC INVARIANT OF THE CLASS OF WORDS WITH GENITIVE SUBJECT
Example
Demonstrating
how the
presence or
absence
of the presupposition
of
existence affects
the
choice of case
for the subject.
Clarification that if the verb's meaning doesn't definitively predict the presence of the presupposition of existence
Identification of two semantic components
'X takes place'
'X exists'
Determines the case
of the subject
in negative sentences.
Focus on
Specifically in contrast with the nominative case.
The construction with genitive subject in Russian,
4. SEMANTIC FEATURES AND SELECTION RESTRICTIONS IN LEXICON AND GRAMMAR
Role in regulating selection restrictions
Examples
Semantic motivations
for syntactic behaviors
Predicates introducing
indirect question
Semantic distribution
of conjunctions
Neg-Raising
predicates
Evolution of semantic theory
3. SEMANTIC FEATURES
IN SYSTEMS OF
NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING
(NLP)
You can list NLP problems
in which features are constantly used
Transfer semantic features
can be used to
distinguish texts that allow
liberal interpretations
of deviant or metaphorical texts.
Semantic features
can be useful
in the process
Combination of verbs
with adverbs
that designate
time
place
reason
purpose
instrument, etc.
Disambiguation of a
lexically
homonymous
predicated word
Revealing
predicate-argument
relationships in
parsing algorithms
Semantic features belong to NLP resources
1. LEXICAL DATABASE
OF THE SYSTEM
It consists of 2 basic components:
Bibliographic Database (BBD)
Contains bibliographic information
on individual lexemes
Syntactic and Semantic information
cannot be found
in existing dictionaries
The vocabulary
consists of
about 12,500 words
Lexical Database (LBD)
Consists of
several domains
The user can obtain
information about:
--Morphology
--Syntactic features
--Semantic features
--Prosody
--Referential features
of individual lexical items.
Vocabulary presented in
machine-readable format

language processing purposes
