2014 Deep semantic representation
in a domain-specific ontology: Linking EcoLexicon to FunGramKB Language Processing and Grammars: The role of functionally oriented computational models, Nolan, Brian and Carlos Periñán-Pascual (eds.), pp. 271–296 | Article
EcoLexicon is a frame-based visual thesaurus on the Environment that is gradually evolving towards the status of a formal ontology. For this purpose, the information in its relational database is in the process of being linked to the ontological system of FunGramKB, a multipurpose knowledge base.… read more
2014 A functional and constructional approach for specialized knowledge resources Language Processing and Grammars: The role of functionally oriented computational models, Nolan, Brian and Carlos Periñán-Pascual (eds.), pp. 297–312 | Article
This paper describes how verbs are represented in EcoLexicon (ecolexicon.ugr.es), a specialized knowledge resource in environmental science. Based on the hypothesis that human cognition organizes concepts in semantic categories (Tranel et al. 2001; H. Damasio et al. 2004), verbs are conceptually… read more
2014 A cognitive sociolinguistic approach to metaphor and denominative variation: A case study of marine biology terms Review of Cognitive Linguistics 12:1, pp. 193–222 | Article
