    La variazione funzionale delle strutture marcate a sinistra in italiano. Uno studio su corpora tra parlato e scritto

    No full text
    Il lavoro descrive la variazione funzionale delle strutture marcate a sinistra in italiano, sulla base di occorrenze estratte da corpora di parlato informale (DB-IPIC) e di scritto giornalistico online (IT-QOL). L’analisi qualitativa dei dati segue un approccio testuale, che si ispira alla Teoria della Lingua in Atto (Cresti 2000) e al Modello di Basilea (Ferrari et al. 2008). Le funzioni testuali delle strutture marcate a sinistra sono quindi descritte valorizzando le complesse interazioni delle strutture con gli Enunciati e i Testi in cui occorrono. I risultati evidenziano somiglianze e specificità funzionali delle strutture legate alla variazione diamesica

    L’obiettivo principale del presente lavoro è l’analisi della variazione marcata del lessico verbale azionale italiano. La ricerca qui esposta propone i risultati dell’annotazione di un campione di 17 verbi di azione generali ad alta frequenza, svolta sfruttando i dati della collezione di corpora di italiano par- lato utilizzati nel progetto IMAGACT. La classificazione degli usi non primari del lessico verbale azionale è stata operata sulla base di una tassonomia di riferimento, fondata su criteri distintivi espliciti, ed è stata semanticamente e cognitivamente motivata in uno scenario alla Lakoff

    Metaphor in action. Action verbs and abstract meaning.

    No full text
    Embodiment plays an essential role in both concrete and abstract semantic representation. As a consequence, action verbs are extensively involved in the conceptualization and linguistic encoding of figurative meanings. In the light of several theoretical frameworks, this chapter aims to investigate the mechanisms that enable verbs to acquire new abstract meanings. The analysis we present focuses specifically on the metaphorical variation of a cohesive group of five Italian action verbs codifying a movement along the vertical axis (alzare, abbassare, salire, scendere, sollevare). The results confirm the Invariance Principle worked out by Lakoff: the metaphorical mapping of an action verb is strictly constrained by the image schemas involved in its core and concrete meaning

    Collecting information for action understanding. the enrichment of the IMAGACT ontology of action

    This paper presents the status of our work aimed at enriching the IMAGACT Ontology of Action by linking it to other resources. In order to achieve this goal we performed a visual mapping, exploiting the IMAGACT visual component (video scenes that represent physical actions) as the linkage point among resources. By using visual objects, which are free from linguistic constraints and can be interpreted and described from different perspectives, we connected resources responding to different scopes and theoretical frameworks, in which a concept-to-concept mapping appeared difficult to obtain. We provide a brief description of two linking obtained by using this technique: an automatic linking between IMAGACT and BabelNet, a multilingual semantic network, and a manual linking between IMAGACT and Praxicon, a conceptual knowledge base of action

    In search of basic units of spoken language: a corpus-driven approach/ edited by Shlomo Izre'el, Heliana Mello, Alessandro Panunzi, Tommaso Raso.

    Includes bibliographical references and index."What is the best way to analyze spontaneous spoken language? In their search for the basic units of spoken language the authors of this volume opt for a corpus-driven approach. They share a strong conviction that prosodic structure is essential for the study of spoken discourse and each bring their own theoretical and practical experience to the table. In the first part of the book they segment spoken material from a range of different languages (Russian, Hebrew, Central Pomo (an indigenous language from California), French, Japanese, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese). In the second part of the book each author analyzes the same two spoken English samples, but looking at them from different perspectives, using different methods of analysis as reflected in their respective analyses in Part I. This approach allows for common tendencies of segmentation to emerge, both prosodic and segmental"--In search of a basic unit of spoken language : segmenting speech / Shlomo Izre'el, Heliana Mello, Alessandro Panunzi and Tommaso Raso -- Russian spoken discourse : local structure and prosody / Andrej A.

    Linking dei contenuti multimediali tra ontologie multilingui: i verbi di azione tra IMAGACT e BabelNet

    No full text
    Lo studio qui presentato riguarda il collegamento tra due risorse multilingui e multimediali, BabelNet e IMAGACT. In particolare, l’esperimento di linking ha come oggetto i video dell’ontologia dell’azione IMAGACT e le rispettive entrate lessicali verbali di BabelNet. Il task è stato eseguito attraverso un algoritmo che opera sulla base delle informazioni lessicali presenti nelle due risorse. I risultati del linking mostrano che è possibile effettuare un collegamento estensivo tra le due ontologie. Tale collegamento è auspicabile nel senso di fornire una base di dati ricca e multimediale per i complessi task di disambiguazione del riferimento dei verbi di azione e di traduzione automatica e assistita delle frasi che li contengono

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
