Users don’t read websites the way they read books. They read clusters of pages from many sites that they assemble for themselves or with others they trust; a hunt and gather process that shapes their experience. To help construct a compelling user experience, we content creators need to think outside the box of the website. We need to think about Dynamic Semantic Clusters…

From its inception in the early 1990s through to the foreseeable future, the World Wide Web is a developing phenomenon, constantly evolving in response to new technologies and the changing expectations of users. The Web of today is a very different animal to the version that first gained widespread acceptance in the mid-1990s. Likewise, it seems that the Web as we now know…

I ll be the first to admit I can get a bit pedantic at times. I ve even gotten in the habit of calling myself The Pedantic Panther when I get particularly picky in my writing group. But the thing is, words matter. Word choice matters. Here s one of my favorite examples of how that works in the broader world: Here are a few words and phrases that are used a lot within library…

Key Difference: Pragmatics, Syntax, Morphology and Phonology are different sub-fields or branches of linguistics. Pragmatics deals with the study of language by considering the context in which it is used. Syntax is the study of the structural aspect of language by dealing with phrase and sentence formation. Morphology is the study of minimal units of meaning which includes…

We all recognize that we should be writing semantic code. Maybe, you re even using or correctly, and feel pretty good about yourself. But, are you also considering the implied contract that exists when you code? Let s imagine that a customer requests a text link, “See More, ” which should reveal additional text on the page. with a click handler should work perfectly, right?…

According to many current theories of coherence relations, a distinction can be drawn between relations that hold between the content of the text spans they link (which can be termed semantic relations), and those that hold between the utterances of the text spans themselves or the beliefs which underlie them (which can be termed pragmatic). However, this distinction is not…

[Conference Paper] Full text available as: Preview 67Kb Abstract Recognizing analogies, synonyms, antonyms, and associations appear to be four distinct tasks, requiring distinct NLP algorithms. In the past, the four tasks have been treated independently, using a wide variety of algorithms. These four semantic classes, however, are a tiny sample of the full range of semantic…

I recently had to remove a number of type synonyms from the GHC code base which were along the lines of type CmmActuals = [CmmActual]. The process made me wonder a little about when type synonyms are appropriate for Haskell code. The Wikibooks article says type synonyms are “for making the roles of types clearer or providing an alias to, for instance, a complicated list or…

Waitress: What do you want in your omelette, sir? Martin: Nothing in the omelette, nothing at all. Waitress: Well, that’s not technically an omelette. Martin: Look, I don’t want to get into a semantic argument, I just want the protein. Semantics is the branch of linguistics concerned with the meaning of words and their meaning within sentences. Pragmatics looks at the same…

The Semantics-Pragmatics Distinction: What It Is and Why It Matters KENT BACH Department of Philosophy San Francisco State University San Francisco, CA 94132 USA The distinction between semantics and pragmatics is easier to apply than to explain. Explaining it is complicated by the fact that many conflicting formulations have been proposed over the past sixty years. This might…

There have been very interesting developments in lexical semantics in the last fifteen years including, e.g., the Generative Lexicon Theory [6]. However, the research so far has failed to provide an adequate formal account of the lexical theories. Most of the employed formalisms are based on (extensions of) the Montague grammar and unable to capture the important linguistic…

Package enables semantic highlighting for JavaScript code. Identifiers are highlighted in different colors (the same identifier always in the same color) while everything else (like language keywords) is displayed in various shades of gray. This approach runs contrary to classical ideas about syntax highlighting but is rapidly becoming very popular. In addition to being a useful…

A branch of linguistics concerned with the use of language in social contexts and the ways in which people produce and comprehend meanings through language. (For alternative definitions, see Examples and Observations, below.) The term pragmatics was coined in the 1930s by the philosopher C.W. Morris. Pragmatics was developed as a subfield of linguistics in the 1970s. See Examples…

Question: What principles or definitions have been offered in the literature for distinguishing pragmatics from semantics? he question of how semantics relates to pragmatically oriented theories is, Chierchia and McConnell-Ginet (1990) say, wide open. For them, semantics deals with those aspects of meaning that remain constant whenever a given expression is uttered: Semantics…

COMP 317: Semantics of Programming Languages Denotational semantics describes the meaning of a program as some mathematical object: this is the program s denotation. Typically, the denotation of a program is a function that maps states to states. Given a program , its denotation, [[ ]], is the function that takes a state as argument and maps it to the state that results from…
