There is a growing awareness of the significance and value that modelling using information technology can bring to the functionally oriented linguistic enterprise. This encompasses a spectrum of areas as diverse as concept modelling, language processing and grammar modelling, conversational… read more
The corpus-based identification of those lexical units which serve to describe a given specialized domain usually becomes a complex task, where an analysis oriented to the frequency of words and the likelihood of lexical associations is often ineffective. The goal of this article is to demonstrate… read more
Most natural language processing researchers highlight the benefits of interlingua-based systems in multilingual settings. In this scenario, Role and Reference Grammar can contribute to build a cross-language semantic representation of the input text in terms of its logical structure. Our goal is… read more
Few researchers in natural language processing are nowadays concerned with linguistically-aware applications. On the contrary, the prevailing trend is towards the search of engineering solutions to practical problems, where researchers are motivated by the immediate gratification from the… read more
It has been widely demonstrated that expectation-based schemata, along the lines of Lakoff’s propositional Idealized Cognitive Models, play a crucial role in text comprehension. Discourse inferences are grounded on the shared generalized knowledge which is activated from the situational model… read more
