In Linguistics, Semantics (from the Greek semantikos, or significant meaning , derived from sema sign ) is traditionally defined as the study of meaning. One area of study is the study of the semantic relations between different linguistic expressions, usually words. These relations include homonymy, synonymy, antonymy, polysemy, hypernymy, and hyponymy. Linguists describe…

A grammar is a set of rules that define the syntax for a particular language. When people are talking specifically about a parser (especially one generated with a parser generator like yacc, Byacc, ANTLR, etc.), they may do a bit more hair-splitting, and talk specifically about those syntactical rules that are encoded using the generator s rules, vs. those parts that are enforced…

Does Objective-C has something similar or may be there are some ways to implement/emulate this? Nope. That s not a huge issue, once you have digested the abstraction layer you are working at with Objective-C. Understand that objects are reference counted and are heap allocations. Now there are two ways you can take this: a) Use Objective-C++ - Just mix and match the language…

A new, deductive approach to the syntax-semantics interface integrates two mature and successful lines of research: logical deduction for semantic composition and the Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) approach to the analysis of linguistic structure. It is often referred to as the glue approach because of the role of logic in gluing meanings together. The glue approach…

Terence Parr A language is a set of valid sentences. What makes a sentence valid? You can break validity down into two things: syntax and semantics . The term syntax refers to grammatical structure whereas the term semantics refers to the meaning of the vocabulary symbols arranged with that structure. Grammatical (syntactically valid) does not imply sensible (semantically valid)…

When you try to describe the content of an image, what type of words do you use? Do those words focus on the high-level event that occured, on objects within the image, the background scene in the image, or perhaps the location depicted? While the goal of visual semantics is to allow computers to describe images with similar ease, they are instead reliant on pixels that represent…

Historically database columns which hold alphanumeric data have been defined using the number of bytes they store. This approach was fine as the number of bytes equated to the number of characters when using single-byte character sets. With the increasing use of multibyte character sets to support globalized databases comes the problem of bytes no longer equating to characters…

This book studies the syntax and semantics of numeral classifiers in Mandarin and other Chinese languages. It explores how Chinese classifiers are semantically interpreted in syntactic contexts and how semantic functions of classifiers are realized at the syntactic level. The book is a contribution to formal Chinese linguistics, and to the understanding of grammatical properties…

Semantics refers to the knowledge and comprehension of words. Semantic skills may be measured by various receptive vocabulary tests. However, semantics is a broader concept than merely words in the sentence. Compare the sentences below: I went home and died after the party. Her father died last week. Obviously, the meaning of the word died changed to reflect the context. As…
