基于规则的汉语名名组合的自动释义研究

该文以现代汉语(特别是网络搜索词)中的名名组合为主要研究对象,探索一种基于规则的汉语名名组合的自动释义方法。其研究步骤为: (1)利用《现代汉语语义词典》中名词的语义类别,来建立名名组合的语义类组合模式;(2)在“生成词库论”中物性角色思想的指导下,用名名组合中某个名词的施成角色或功能角色作为释义动词,来揭示这两个名词之间的语义关系;(3)以语义类组合模式为单位构建名名组合的释义模板,并汇集成名名搭配数据库;(4)利用《知网》资源,来获取具体名词的施成角色和功能角色,建立汉语名词知识库。在这两个数据库的基础上,我们初步实现了一个汉语名名组合的自动释义程序。     

基于语义依存的中文本体非分类关系抽取方法

为了解决中文本体非分类关系抽取问题,提出了基于语义依存分析的非分类关系抽取方法.利用语义角色标注和依存语法分析思想,分析得到了文本句子的语义依存结构,提取其中具有语义依存关系的动词框架,通过计算语义相似度,发现了动词框架中概念间的非分类关系和关系名称.实验结果表明该方法能够有效地实现非分类关系的抽取和关系的语义标注.     

从英汉谓语动词的互译比较英汉句法差异

文章从英汉谓语动词的使用来分析对比这两种语言在句法结构方面的一些异同:英语动词的使用受到形态变化规则的严格限制.而汉语动词没有形态变化的约束,使用起来十分自由简便.英语句子结构是语法的,汉语句子结构是语义的.汉语句子结构多采用"意合法"(parataxis),英语句法结构多用"形合法"(hypotaxis).     

Identification Facilitation for Emotionally Arousing Verbs During the Attentional Blink.

The present study aimed to examine affective modulation of the "attentional blink" effect during rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP). Pleasant, neutral, and unpleasant written verbs were used as a 2nd target (T2) in an 8.6-Hz RSVP paradigm. Pronounced effects of 1st target (T1)-T2 stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) were found, showing reduced report accuracy for 232- and 464-ms SOAs. Affectively arousing (pleasant and unpleasant) T2s were associated with enhanced accuracy compared with neutral T2s specifically during short (232 ms) SOAs. In contrast, pleasant and unpleasant T2s rated low in terms of emotional arousal did not show this enhancement. These results suggest that affectively arousing information is selected preferentially from a temporal stream, facilitating processes such as working memory consolidation and action.

Episodic memory and metamemory in Parkinson’s disease patients.

This study investigated episodic memory and metamemory for verbs and nouns in patients who have cognitive impairments associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD patients and healthy control participants were asked to recall word pairs and provide feeling-of-knowing (FOK) judgments for the items they were unable to recall. This was followed by a 4-alternative recognition test. PD patients were impaired in both recall and recognition, compared with controls. In terms of metamemory, PD patients were less confident in their ability to recognize the unrecalled items in a future recognition test. Most important, accuracy of PD patients’ FOK judgments was not above chance and was lower than that of control participants. The PD group correctly recognized fewer verbs than nouns, but type of material (verb vs. noun) had no impact on recall or FOK judgments. In addition, contribution of executive functions to FOK accuracy was different in PD patients and controls. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

蒙古语动词计算机生成研究

该文遵循笔者提出的“整词中枢论”思想，基于自然语言复杂特征合一运算理论，方法和技术，通过揭蒙古语动词构成数学结构，提出了蒙古语动词构成算法的数学模型（机理模型），分析了确立规则的各种复杂问题，建立了一个生成蒙古词动词的FSTN，解决了蒙古词动词的计算机生成过程中的语言学“共性”与“个性”恰当结合的问题，实现了蒙古语动词计算机生成精确度，时间度和空间度三要素的有机统一。     

Syntactic priming in comprehension: The role of argument order and animacy.

Two visual-world eye-movement experiments investigated the nature of syntactic priming during comprehension--specifically, whether the priming effects in ditransitive prepositional object (PO) and double object (DO) structures (e.g., "The wizard will send the poison to the prince/the prince the poison?") are due to anticipation of structural properties following the verb (send) in the target sentence or to anticipation of animacy properties of the first postverbal noun. Shortly following the target verb onset, listeners looked at the recipient more (relative to the theme) following DO than PO primes, indicating that the structure of the prime affected listeners' eye gazes on the target scene. Crucially, this priming effect was the same irrespective of whether the postverbal nouns in the prime sentences did ("The monarch will send the painting to the president") or did not ("The monarch will send the envoy to the president") differ in animacy, suggesting that PO/DO priming in comprehension occurs because structural properties, rather than animacy features, are being primed when people process the ditransitive target verb.

Semantic Opposition and WordNet

We consider the problem of semantic opposition; in particular, theproblem of determining adjective-verb opposition for transitive changeof state verbs and adjectivally modified grammatical objects. Semanticopposition problems of this type are a sub-case of the classic FrameProblem; the well-known problem of knowing what is preserved orchanged in the world as a result of some action or event. Bydefinition, grammatical objects of change of state verbs undergomodification. In cases where the object is adjectivally modified, theproblem reduces to determining whether the property denoted by theadjective still holds true after the event denoted by the verb. Inthis paper, we evaluate the efficacy of WordNet, a network of conceptsorganized around linguistically relevant semantic relations includingantonymy, for this task. Test examples are drawn from the linguisticliterature. Results are analyzed in detail with a view towardsproviding feedback on the concept of a network as an appropriate modelof semantic relations for problems in semantic inference.     

"Developing organization of mental verbs and theory of mind in middle childhood: Evidence from extensions": Correction to Schwanenflugel et al. (1998).

Reports an error in "Developing organization of mental verbs and theory of mind in middle childhood: Evidence from extensions" by Paula J. Schwanenflugel, Robbie L. Henderson and William V. Fabricius (Developmental Psychology, 1998[May], Vol 34[3], 512-524). In this article, Figures 2 and 4 were inadvertently switched. The figure appearing on page 519 is Figure 4, and the data pertain to third graders; the figure appearing on page 521 is Figure 2, and the data pertain to adults. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 1998-01885-012.) The purpose of the study was to assess developments in the theory of mind suggested by changes in the organization of cognitive verb extensions during the elementary school years. Adults and 3rd- and 5th-grade children were provided with a set of mental activity scenarios and were asked to select the best verbs from a list of cognitive verbs that might apply to each scenario. Changes in organization were assessed by examining overlapping uses of cognitive verbs in different contexts. There were 3 major changes with development: (a) the understanding of the role of memory in input functions increased, (b) the interrelatedness of memory- and comprehension-related verbs increased, and (c) the importance of cognitive certainty and uncertainty engaged by constructive processing verbs increased. Together, these findings suggest that a constructivist theory of mind develops in later childhood. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
