Denna studie undersöker hur adversativa och deskriptiva betydelserelation markeras i satser och hur manuella och icke manuella signaler används för att markera dess betydelserelationer i det svenska teckenspråket. Olika områden i denna studie belyses för att de har betydelse för markering av adversativa och deskriptiva betydelserelationer och kan påverka för hur vi markerar tecken och icke-manuella signaler i teckenspråkssatser: teckenrummet, icke manuella signaler och ordföljd som kan variera. Det visar att det är både tecken och icke-manuella signaler som markerar de två betydelserelationerna beroende på kontexten i teckenspråkstexter. När man använder markörer för betydelserelationer så används tecknen i sina grundformer. Det kan också finnas några teckenvarianter på ett tecken. Tydliga markörer med icke-manuella signaler för betydelserelationer är blickriktning, upphöjda eller nerdragna ögonbryn och ögon som är uppspärrade eller kisande. Placering av tecken i teckenrummet kan betraktas som en markör. / This study examines how adversative and descriptive semantic relations is marked in sentences and how signs and non-manual signals are used to mark these important relations in Swedish Sign Language. Different areas of this study are highlighted because they are significant and may influence how we select sign and non-manual signals in sentences of sign language: sign space, non-manual signals and word sequence that can vary. It is shown that both sign and non-manual signals that mark the two semantic relationships depend on the context of the sign language text. When one uses markers for semantic relations, the signs are being used in its basics forms. There can also be phonological variants of one sign. Clear markers with the non-manual signals for meaning relationships are eye gaze, raised or furrowed eyebrows, and eyes that are widened or squinting. Placement of signs in the space can be regarded as a marker.

O objetivo geral do estudo proposto é analisar a terminologia presente em manuais de empresas fabricantes de equipamentos médicos utilizados nas Unidades de Terapia Intensiva UTIs, cujo tema foi definido em parceria com os especialistas do Grupo de Engenharia Biomédica da UNIFEI. Primeiramente, levantamos a lista dos equipamentos médicos utilizados em UTIs, com o auxílio dos especialistas, e formamos um corpus de estudo. Verificamos a existência de possíveis variantes denominativas no corpus constituído e, posteriormente, analisamos as relações semânticas estabelecidas entre os termos validados. A identificação e a extração dos termos presentes nos manuais foram realizadas por meio da plataforma Terminus, desenvolvida pelo Grupo IULATERM, do Institut Universitari de Lingüística Aplicada da Universitat Pompeu Fabra. A partir dos dados coletados, pudemos verificar a existência de muitas variantes e propusemos uma análise das relações semânticas existentes entre eles. Para esta pesquisa, adotamos a perspectiva teórica veiculada pela Teoria Comunicativa da Terminologia TCT, que considera que as unidades terminológicas são parte da língua geral e apresentam as mesmas características desta, comportando variações denominativas e outros fenômenos. / The overall goal of the proposed study is to analyze the terminology used in manuals of manufacturers of medical equipment used in Intensive Care Units ICUs, theme established in partnership with UNIFEI´s Group of Experts on Biomedical Engineering. First, with the support from experts, a list of medical devices used in ICUs was raised and a study corpus generated. We searched possible denominational variants in the constituted corpus and then analyzed the semantic relations between the validated terms. The identification and extraction of these terms from the manuals were made by the Terminus platform developed by IULATERM Group, Institute for Applied Linguistics at Universitat Pompeu Fabra. From the data collected, we could confirm the existence of many variants and, therefore, propose an analysis of the semantic relationships among them. For this research, we adopted the theoretical perspective conveyed by the Communicative Theory of Terminology, which considers that the terminological units are part of the general language and have the same characteristics, comprising denominational variations and other phenomena.

With the evolution of Web 2.0, most social-networking sites let their members participate in content generation. Users can label items with tags in these websites. A tag can be anything but it is actually a short description of the item. Because tags represent the reason why a user likes an item, but not how much user likes it / they are better identifiers of user profiles than ratings, which are usually numerical values assigned to items by users. Thus, the tag-based contextual representations of music tracks are concentrated in this study. Items are generally represented by vector space models in the content based recommendation systems. In tag-based recommendation systems, users and items are defined in terms of weighted vectors of social tags. When there is a large amount of tags, calculation of the items to be recommended becomes hard, because working with huge vectors is a time-consuming job. The main objective of this thesis is to represent individual tracks (songs) in lower dimensional spaces. An approach is described for creating music recommendations based on user-supplied tags that are augmented with a hierarchical structure extracted for top level genres from Dbpedia. In this structure, each genre is represented by its stylistic origins, typical instruments, derivative forms, sub genres and fusion genres. In addition to very large vector space models, insufficient number of user tags is another problem in the recommendation field. The proposed method is evaluated with different user profiling methods in case of any insufficiency in the number of user tags. User profiles are extended with multi-domain information. By using multi-domain information, the goal of making more successful and realistic predictions is achieved.

This thesis describes the work of creating an automatic system for identifying synonyms and semantically related words in medical texts. Before this work, as a part of the project E-care@home, medical texts have been classified as either lay or specialized by both a lay annotator and an expert annotator. The lay annotator, in this case, is a person without any medical knowledge, whereas the expert annotator has professional knowledge in medicine. Using these texts made it possible to create co-occurrences matrices from which the related words could be identified. Fifteen medical terms were chosen as system input. The Dice similarity of these words in a context window of ten words around them was calculated. As output, five candidate related terms for each medical term was returned. Only unigrams were considered. The candidate related terms were evaluated using a questionnaire, where 223 healthcare professionals rated the similarity using a scale from one to five. A Fleiss kappa test showed that the agreement among these raters was 0.28, which is a fair agreement. The evaluation further showed that there was a significant correlation between the human ratings and the relatedness score (Dice similarity). That is, words with higher Dice similarity tended to get a higher human rating. However, the Dice similarity interval in which the words got the highest average human rating was 0.35-0.39. This result means that there is much room for improving the system. Further developments of the system should remove the unigram limitation and expand the corpus the provide a more accurate and reliable result.

Esta tese tem como propósito ratificar que o estudo lexical de manuscritos pertencentes ao códice intitulado Livro para servir no registro do caminho novo de Parati Thomé Ignácio da Costa Mascarenhas (1724-1762) muito revela a respeito da formação sociocultural da então recém-criada Capitania de Goiás, durante o ciclo do ouro. Para tanto, realizou-se a edição semidiplomática de noventa e dois documentos escritos de 1751 a 1753 em Vila Boa de Goiás, uma vez que estes abordam aspectos variados da administração, economia, política, religião, cultura, assim como da estrutura jurídica e militar local. Conferiu-se rigor à aplicação dos critérios de edição, com vistas a assegurar a sua fidedignidade e, consequentemente, de toda a pesquisa. Foram inventariados os substantivos, adjetivos e verbos para a elaboração de um Índice de Frequência e de Ocorrências dos Itens Lexicais, à luz do produzido por Ferreira et al. (2005), a fim de se obter o vocabulário empregado no corpus e de mapear os principais assuntos abordados, correlacionando-os com a frequência de uso das lexias. Procedeu-se, então, à estruturação e análise dos campos lexicais mais representativos das temáticas do corpus, com base em aspectos histórico-sociais da Capitania goiana, tendo em vista que o léxico é o nível da língua que mais se conecta ao universo extralinguístico (BIDERMAN, 1981; SAPIR, 1961). A composição dos campos lexicais baseou-se nos princípios da semântica estrutural, especificamente em teóricos como Coseriu (1977), Geckeler (1976) e Vilela (1979), levando em conta as relações semânticas entre os itens lexicais e os arquilexemas dos campos, mais especificamente, a sinonímia, a antonímia, a meronímia e a hiponímia, identificando-se também os casos de homonímia e de polissemia. Os resultados dessa pesquisa apontam que o estudo dos campos lexicais a partir das associações semânticas entre seus membros não pode prescindir da consideração do universo discursivo, bem como do contexto sociocultural no qual se fundamentam, haja vista que os significados resultam do processamento cognitivo das experiências físicas, biológicas e sociais. / This thesis aims to ratify that lexical study of manuscripts belonging to the codex titled Livro para servir no registro do caminho novo de Parati Thomé Ignácio da Costa Mascarenhas (1724-1762) reveals much about the socio-cultural formation of the newly created Capitania de Goiás, during the cycle of the gold. To this end, did realized the semi-diplomatic edition of ninety-two documents written from 1751 to 1753 in Vila Boa de Goiás, since that approach different aspects of administration, economy, politics, religion, culture, and of the regional legal and military structure. Gave up rigorous application of criteria for editing, in order to ensure its reliability and, consequently, of all the research. Were inventoried the nouns, adjectives and verbs for the preparation of an Index of Frequency and Occurrences of Lexical Items, in the light of that produced by Ferreira et al. (2005), in order to get the vocabulary used in the corpus and mapping the main subjects approached, by correlating them with the frequency of use of the lexias. Proceeded, then, to structuring and analysis of lexical fields more representative of the themes of the corpus, based on historical and social aspects Capitania de Goiás, given that the lexicon is the level of language that connects more to the extralinguistic universe ( BIDERMAN, 1981; SAPIR, 1961). The composition of lexical fields was based on the principles of structural semantics, specifically in theoretical that Coseriu (1977), Geckeler (1976) and Vilela (1979), taking into account the semantic relationships between lexical items and arquilexemas of the fields, more specifically, the synonymy, the antonymy, the meronymy and the hyponymy, identifying the cases of homonymy and polysemy. The results of this study indicate that the study of lexical fields on semantic associations among its members cant escape of the consideration of the universe of discourse, and the sociocultural context in which they are based, given that the meanings result from cognitive processing of physical, biological and social experiences.

As there are differences between terms and words, there are also differences between defining them. While the lexicographic definition specifies and describes the meanings of words as language units, giving all their possible senses, the terminological definition (TD) identifies and describes terms only in reference to the specific conceptual system to which they belong. Therefore, the TD is the object of this Master s study. Our undergraduate experience in terminological research in the Group of Studies and Research in Terminology (GETerm), revealed several difficulties associated with the TD process. The defining method was changed, adapted, extended, and revised to handle the challenges of the research. From that experience, we came to a set of methodological procedures to aid the TD routines in any domain knowledge. Accordingly, this Master s dissertation research aims to systematize those procedures to be implemented into a Web-based, computational environment (E-Termos) to aid research groups in their terminological endeavor. / A elaboração da definição é a etapa mais complexa e custosa numa pesquisa terminológica que objetiva a elaboração de dicionários especializados, já que um bom dicionário se avalia, principalmente, pela qualidade das suas definições. Assim como há diferença entre termo e palavra, também há diferenças entre os modos de definir termos e palavras. Enquanto a definição lexicográfica descreve e delimita os sentidos das palavras enquanto unidades do sistema, oferecendo todas as acepções possíveis, a definição terminológica (DT) oferece a identificação do termo somente com referência ao sistema conceitual do qual faz parte. É esse segundo tipo de definição, portanto, que é objeto desta pesquisa de mestrado. Na experiência adquirida durante nossa pesquisa terminológica realizada durante a Iniciação Científica, junto ao Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisas em Terminologia (GETerm), deparamo-nos com diversas dificuldades para a elaboração da DT. O método de trabalho foi por diversas vezes alterado, adaptado, ampliado, revisto, de forma a dar conta dos desafios que iam surgindo. A partir dessa experiência, chegamos a um conjunto de procedimentos metodológicos úteis para a redação da definição, em qualquer domínio de conhecimento. Pretendeu-se, pois, nesta pesquisa de mestrado, sistematizar esses procedimentos, de modo a proporcionar conhecimento linguístico que será implementado num ambiente computacional baseado na Web, de maneira a auxiliar demais grupos que desenvolvem pesquisas terminológicas em língua portuguesa a elaborar a DT de forma mais sistemática.
