Age and the comprehension of spatial adjectives

Cassidy, Barbara Ann 01 January 1980 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to determine the significance of chronological age on the comprehension of spatial adjectives in children. Specifically, the investigation set out to determine the age levels at which children comprehend the polar forms of various spatial adjectives and to determine the difference in age levels of comprehension of unmarked versus marked adjective forms. Seventy children between the ages of two years, +/-2 months and eight years, + 2 months, selected on the basis of chronological age, normal receptive vocabulary recognition and normal hearing, participated as subjects.

J.S. Dovydaičio knygos "Šiaulėniškis Senelis" (1863 m. I d.) būdvardis, skaitvardis ir įvardis / Adjective, numeral and pronoun in J. S. Dovydaitis book “Siauleniskis Senelis” (1863 – part 1)

Aniskevič, Ala 16 August 2007 (has links)
Šiame magistro darbe aptariamos Juozapo Silvestro Dovydaičio knygos „Šiaulėniškis Senelis“ (1863 m. I d.) trys linksniuojamosios kalbos dalys – būdvardis, skaitvardis ir įvardis. Tyrimo duomenimis, rasti 2378 pavyzdžiai, iš jų 355 būdvardžiai, 151 skaitvardis ir 1872 įvardžiai. Tiriant minėtas linksniuojamąsias kalbos dalis, buvo fiksuojamas jų vartojimo dažnumas. Nesigilinama į autoriaus asmenybę, biografijos faktus, nes jau yra parašytas bakalauro darbas „Juozapo Silvestro Dovydaičio knygos „Šiaulėniškis Senelis“ (1963 m. I d.) daiktavardis“ (Tamulynaitė, 2006), kuriame nuosekliai ir išsamiai pateikta J. S. Dovydaičio gyvenimo ir veiklos apžvalga. J. S. Dovydai��io „Šiaulėniškis Senelis“, kaip ir visi senieji rašytiniai darbai, yra reikšmingas liaudies šnekamosios kalbos (šiuo atveju vakarų aukštaičių šiauliškių tarmės) pažinimo šaltinis. Šis darbas bus paskatinimas tolimesniam S. J. Dovydaičio kūrybinio palikimo tyrinėjimui. / After having researched the adjectives, numerals and pronouns in J. S. Dovydaitis book “Siauleniskis Senelis” (1863 – part 1) the following conclusions can be drawn: · The most often used parts out of J. S. Dovydaitis book “Siauleniskis Senelis” are adjectives (1872 times used, i.e. 78,72 %); the least often used are numerals (151 times used, i.e. 6,35 %). · Frequently used by the author are adjectives, which belong to a (f. ā) stem (231 times used, i.e. 79,66 % of all the adjectives); almost all paradigma cases are realized; the least often used are ia (f. iā) stem (1 time used, i.e. 0,34 %). · In the researched text, as well as in “aukstaicia siauliskiu” pronunciation, adjectives have levels. There are higher, the highest, and the most highest levels. Mostly registered are the adjectives of the highest level (15 times used, i.e. 4,46 % of all adjectives); the least used are adjectives of the most highest level (3 times used, i.e. 0,89 %). · Also pronoun adjectives were found (19 times used, i.e. 5,35 % of all the quantities numerals). · Out of the adjectives used by the author the quantities ones are the most frequent (126 times used, i.e. 96,64 % of all the quantities numerals). · The biggest part of the pronouns used by the author is personal ones (834 times used, i.e. 44,55 %); out of which the most frequent are the main ones (195 times used, i.e. 80,46 %); the least used are questioning and conditional pronouns (671 times used, i.e. 10,42 %).

Garbštienė, Vaida 24 September 2008 (has links)
K. Michnevičiaus – Mikėno išversta knyga į lietuvių kalbą „Šventas Izidorius artojas“ pasirodė 1859 metais. Tai religinio pobūdžio kūrinys, kuris turi didaktinių ypatybių. K. Michnevičiaus – Mikėno „Šventas Izidorius artojas“, kaip ir daugelis to meto literatūrinių darbų, yra svarbus XIX amžiaus rytų aukštaičių tarmės pažinimo šaltinis. Rytų aukštaičių tarmės ypatybių randama rašyboje, sintaksėje, leksikoje, bet šio darbo objektas – dviejų linksniuojamų kalbos dalių – būdvardžio ir skaitvardžio – morfologija. Remiantis knygos „Šventas Izidorius artojas“ surinktais būdvardžiais ir skaitvardžiais, lyginama senųjų raštų kalba su dabartine rytų aukštaičių tarme bei bendrine kalba. Darbo pobūdis. Tai aprašomojo pobūdžio darbas, tačiau remiamasi ir lyginamuoju metodu. Darbe lyginami kūrinyje esantys būdvardžiai ir skaitvardžiai su rytų aukštaičių tarmės ir bk būdvardžiais, skaitvardžiais. Darbo tikslas – palyginti K. Michnevičiaus-Mikėno knygos dvi linksniuojamąsias kalbos dalis – būdvardį ir skaitvardį – su rytų aukštaičių tarmės ir bk būdvardžiu, skaitvardžiu. Tikslui pasiekti keliami uždaviniai: 1) papildyti medžiagą apie K. Michnevičiaus-Mikėno biografiją; 2) knygos būdvardžius suskirstyti pagal kamienus, aptarti jų laipsnius ir įvardžiuotines formas. Skaitvardžius suskirstyti pagal reikšmę ir gramatines ypatybes; 3) morfologiškai ištirti knygos būdvardžius, skaitvardžius lyginant juos su rytų aukštaičių tarme ir bk. Išnagrinėjus knygoje esančius būdvardžius ir skaitvardžius... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / The book „Šventas Izidorius artojas“ was translated to Lithuanian language by K. Michnevičius-Mikėnas and published in 1859. This book is about religion and education. K.

Características morfossintáticas dos advérbios no português brasileiro / Morphosyntactic characteristics of adverbs in brazilian portuguese

Lima, Rafael Bezerra de 12 August 2010 (has links)
This thesis aims at describing and analyzing the morphosyntactic features of adverbs ending in mente (-ly) in Brazilian Portuguese (BP). One of these features is the fact that adverbs have a close relationship with the adjectives in constructions such as (i) O João entrou na sala rápido / O João entrou na sala rapidamente John entered the room fast / O John entered the room quickly . Based on these examples, we assume that adverbs are a subclass of adjectives, having in mind that these categories occur in the same syntactic environment. Another factor for this assumption relates to their morphological constitution, since, in order to form adverbs in -mente, it is expedient to have an adjectival root. Then, I assume that the adjectives in sentences as in (i) may have a morphological default, i.e., without addition of -mente in their internal structure, or rather, they have to obtain a more specified form with mente in its internal structure. The theoretical framework adopted here is based on the work of Marantz (2001), whose analysis on the formation of morphological nominalizations is extended here to explain the adverbs in -mente in BP and Harris (1999). / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Esta tese tem como objetivo descrever e analisar as características morfossintáticas dos advérbios terminados em mente no português brasileiro (PB). Uma dessas características é o fato de os advérbios possuírem uma estreita relação com os adjetivos em construções do tipo (i) O João entrou na sala rápido / O João entrou na sala rapidamente. Com base nesses exemplos, iremos assumir que os advérbios são uma subclasse dos adjetivos, tendo em vista que essas categorias ocorrem num mesmo ambiente sintático. Outro fator determinante para essa assunção refere-se a sua constituição morfológica, uma vez que para se formar advérbios em mente é preciso ter uma raiz adjetival. Assim, assumo que os adjetivos em sentenças como em (i) podem possuir uma característica morfológica default, isto é, sem acréscimo de mente em sua estrutura interna, ou, por outro lado, obter uma forma mais especificada com o mente em sua estrutura interna. O embasamento teórico aqui adotado se fundamenta nos trabalhos de Marantz (2001), cuja análise sobre a constituição morfológica das nominalizações é estendida aqui para explicar a formação dos advérbios em mente no PB e Harris (1999).

Estudo de padrões lexicais em textos opinativos

Scopim, Débora 22 February 2012 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-06-02T20:25:12Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 4077.pdf: 2839702 bytes, checksum: 070d6d3e69bc09d1437a910720b7ac40 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-02-22 / In a daily basis, people face judgments or ideas regarding certain issues in different means of communication, such as, news editorials, magazines, forum threads, e-mails, blogs, etc. In this context, these opinions begin to strongly influence people s decisions and can often be useful to find out what people think about a particular topic. Then, how to keep track of the mass opinions on the web? Without a thorough assessment of the clues presented in a text this task becomes impossible. Given the importance of these opinions in the generation of ideas, feelings and even impressions, this paper work focuses on the study of lexical patterns in opinion texts, based on the theories presented by Wiebe e Mihalcea (2006), Kim and Hovy (2006), Wilson et al (2005), among others. The corpus used in this study and the method that identifies expressions that denote evaluation have been taken from Folha de São Paulo, a newspaper database. After the delimitation of the expressions and the use of computational tools, two evaluative glossaries have been defined, a positive and a negative one. Thus, this study aims at contributing with the identification of opinions in other texts/contexts and at providing a basis for future work in the field of sentiment analysis. / Diariamente, deparamo-nos com julgamentos ou ideias a respeito de determinado assunto em diversos meios de comunicação, sejam em editoriais de notícias, revistas, bem como em fóruns de mensagens, e-mails, blogs, etc. Neste contexto, as opiniões passam a exercer forte influência sobre a tomada de decisões das pessoas e podem, muitas vezes, ser uma base útil para descobrir o que as pessoas pensam sobre um tópico particular. Como monitorar, então, as opiniões em massa na web? Sem um estudo aprofundado das pistas de avaliação no texto isto não é possível. Diante da relevância que as opiniões têm na geração de ideias, sentimentos e até mesmo impressões, este trabalho pretende fazer um estudo de padrões lexicais em textos opinativos, encontrando suporte teórico nas noções apresentadas por Wiebe e Mihalcea (2006), Kim e Hovy (2006), Wilson et al (2005) entre outros. A partir do banco de dados disponibilizado pelo jornal Folha de São Paulo, constituir-se-á um corpus de trabalho e um método que identifique expressões que denotam avaliação. Após delimitação das expressões e do uso de ferramentas computacionais, serão estabelecidos dois léxicos avaliativos, um positivo e outro negativo. Espera-se contribuir, assim, para a identificação de possíveis opiniões em outros textos/contextos e dar base para futuros trabalhos na área de Análise de Sentimentos.

A análise, de natureza funcionalista, vincula-se ao arcabouço teórico proposto pela Teoria da Gramática Funcional (DIK, 1997a) e pela Gramática Discursivo-Funcional (HENGEVELD; MACKENZIE, 2008) que proveem uma classificação semântica dos constituintes do sintagma nominal com base nas suas propriedades de referência a entidades do mundo e na atribuição de propriedade de modificação a essas entidades. Para análise da relação que os modificadores estabelecem com o núcleo dos sintagmas nominais, este trabalho volta-se para a classificação proposta por Negrão et al. (2014), que separam os adjetivos em argumentais e predicadores de núcleo, ou seja, itens lexicais que assumem uma posição aberta pelo substantivo deverbal e os que abrem posições temáticas que são, por seu lado, saturadas por um substantivo-núcleo. Para análise dos aspectos semânticos dos modificadores utilizam-se as classificações propostas por Castilho (2010), Castilho e Moraes de Castilho (1993), Cinque (2010) e Neves (2010). A amostra examinada é extraída do córpus IBORUNA coletado pelo Projeto ALIP, que foi concebido no interior do Grupo de Pesquisa em Gramática Funcional (GPGF) da UNESP de São José do Rio Preto. Os dados mostram, em primeiro lugar, que, de certo modo, independentemente do tipo de entidade envolvido no núcleo, de primeira e de segunda ordem, a posição pós-nuclear é a preferência grandemente majoritária dos adjetivos na codificação morfossintática. Além disso, a distribuição em anteposição e posposição tem uma regularidade motivada por traços semânticos específicos do modificador. A posição pré-nuclear, mesmo com baixa frequência, está vinculada a traços pragmáticos e semânticos específicos. Esses resultados demonstraram a atuação de motivações semânticas e, em menor parte, pragmáticas, condicionando o preenchimento de posições específicas dos modificadores no interior do sintagma nominal. / The aim of this study is to analyze, from a functional perspective, the adjectival modifiers of Noun Phrases, focusing on the semantic motivation of the Noun Phrase head: whether headed by first-order entities or Individuals or second-order entities or States-of-Affairs (LYONS, 1977; HENGEVELD, 2008). The purpose of this work is to give some priority to the pragmatic and semantic properties of adjectival modifiers in the variety of Brazilian Portuguese spoken in the northwest of São Paulo State. In order to do so, the analysis based on a functional perspective is aligned to the theoretical framework of The Theory of Functional Grammar (DIK, 1997a) and of the Functional Discourse Grammar (HENGEVELD; MACKENZIE, 2008). These authors provide a semantic classification of the constituents of the Noun Phrases which is based on their reference to entities (Individuals or States-of-Affairs) of a world and they analyze the process of modification of these entities by the attribution of a property. The analysis of the relationship between modifiers and the head of the Noun Phrases, initially, considers the classification proposed by Negrão et al. (2014), who distinguish adjectives in arguments and predicates. This distinction means that lexical items that, on the one hand, take a position open by the deverbal noun and, on the other hand, those who open a thematic positions taken by the nuclear referent of the Noun Phrase. Moreover, to analyze the semantic aspects of the modifiers, this study considers the classifications proposed by Castilho (2010), Castilho and Moraes de Castilho (1993), Cinque (2010) and Neves (2010). The sample examined was extracted from the IBORUNA Corpus, which was conceived by the Functional Grammar Research Group (Grupo de Pesquisa em Gramática Funcional), of São Paulo State University (UNESP) at São José do Rio Preto. The analysis shows, firstly, that: regardless of the type of entity involved in the head, whether first or second order, the modification after the head (postmodification) is where the adjective is largely preferred to occur in Morphosyntactic Encoding. In addition, the distribution through the place before the head (premodification) and postmodification in relation to the Noun Phrase head is provided with a high degree of regularity motivated by specific semantic features of the modifier. Secondly, the premodification, even if it is applied with low frequency in the data, is properly aligned to pragmatic and semantic specific features. Finally, these results show how semantic motivations and, less frequently, pragmatic ones, are involved in the fulfilling of specific positions of adjectives inside the Noun Phrase. / FAPESP: 2016/00661-5

Thoughts don't have Colour, do they? : Finding Semantic Categories of Nouns and Adjectives in Text Through Automatic Language Processing / Generering av semantiska kategorier av substantiv och adjektiv genom automatisk textbearbetning

Fallgren, Per January 2017 (has links)
Not all combinations of nouns and adjectives are possible and some are clearly more fre- quent than other. With this in mind this study aims to construct semantic representations of the two types of parts-of-speech, based on how they occur with each other. By inves- tigating these ideas via automatic natural language processing paradigms the study aims to find evidence for a semantic mutuality between nouns and adjectives, this notion sug- gests that the semantics of a noun can be captured by its corresponding adjectives, and vice versa. Furthermore, a set of proposed categories of adjectives and nouns, based on the ideas of Gärdenfors (2014), is presented that hypothetically are to fall in line with the produced representations. Four evaluation methods were used to analyze the result rang- ing from subjective discussion of nearest neighbours in vector space to accuracy generated from manual annotation. The result provided some evidence for the hypothesis which suggests that further research is of value.
