Following the Computing With Words, in its wider sense, this paper examines the treatment of prepositions with fuzzy logic. In particular, the paper looks at the treatment of two prepositions, in and on, from both the theoretical perspective and that of a text sample analysis. We have shown that the fuzzy analysis of prepositional meaning is helpful for its formal and computational representation,...
Within the linguistic field, the phenomenon found by Fuzzy Set Theory application is called “fuzziness”. Linguistic study on fuzziness has lagged behind the multitudinous literature on vagueness and ambiguity. However, as an unconventional form of semantics and the entity of imprecision and rationality, the study of fuzziness remains a valuable area to explore. As fuzziness is a phenomenon existing...
Grammar is familiar to all of us. We have learned grammar for many years. But now we come to a new field in which grammar is not exactly the same as before. Here we mainly talk about two kinds of them, traditional grammar and structural grammar. Traditional grammar, also called school grammar, is a type of grammar first developed in Europe in the eighteenth century, based on Aristotelian logic and...
In this paper, the relationship between L2 (second language) learners' awareness of grammar rules in second language acquisition and language achievement associated with English wh-movement for EFL (for English as foreign language learners) learners is introduced. Research questions and definition of terms are discussed respectively, and a detailed design is conducted. Study results show that this...
Differences between natural languages in lexicology, grammar, semantics and pragmatics usually lead to mistakes in machine translation. These differences between languages are called curve phenomenon. This paper summarized fourteen kinds of curve phenomena between English and Chinese, and proposed a new method to solve curve phenomenon based on Semantic Element, especially importing context variable...
In order to model beliefs expressed by natural language, the qualitative belief assignment based on the linguistic labels has been presented in the Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT). However, the combination of qualitative beliefs is only based on the equidistant linguistic labels and the calculation of non-equidistant labels is approximate. To solve the fusion problem of qualitative beliefs denoted...
Collocation is such a language phenomenon that a sequence of words or terms which co-occur more often than would be expected by chance. It is different from frozen idioms or free word combinations in a continuum ranging from field of morphology and syntax. Collocation has been studied thoroughly in corpus and computational linguistics. A mastery of good collocation is vital for second language or...
