Effect of Prime and Target Repetition on Lexical Decision Time
1992
On a prime-target lexical decision task we manipulated the relatedness between prime and target (semantically related or unrelated), the number of repetitions (from 1 to 5), the type of the repeated stimulus (only the prime, only the target, or both), and the stimulus onset asynchrony (within a range of automatic activation from 60 to 400 msec.) to find whether semantic and repetition priming are additive (or interact), and whether there is episodic priming in an automatic, nonconscious way. Analysis showed repetition and semantic priming were additive rather than interactive. No episodic automatic priming was found. Results are discussed in terms of the predictions made from the main theo…
A Geometric Approach to Automatic Description of Iconic Scenes
2005
It is proposed a step towards the automatic description of scenes with a geometric approach. The scenes considered are composed by a set of elements that can be geometric forms or iconic representation of objects. Every icon is characterized by a set of attributes like shape, colour, position, orientation. Each scene is related to a set of sentences describing its content. The proposed approach builds a data driven vector semantic space where the scenes and the sentences are mapped. Sentences and scene with the same meaning are mapped in near vectors and distance criteria allow retrieving semantic relations.
Pragmatic markers resulting from language contact. The case of sañani in Aymara
2020
This paper explores the pragmatic functions of a previously unattested pragmatic marker (Fraser, 1996, 2006) found in Aymara, i.e. sanani ‘let’s say’. The uses of sanani suggest that this marker is the result of the influence of Spanish on Aymara due to sustained language contact. Sanani seems to be the “replication” (Heine and Kuteva, 2005) of the Spanish pragmatic marker digamos ‘let’s say’. Like digamos (Grande Alija, 2010; Quartararo, 2017a), sanani functions as a pragmatic marker by signaling either an inferential process or the semantic relation between two discourse segments. The original data used for this analysis was gathered through the Family Problems Picture task (San Roque et …
Knowledge engineering and semantic formalism of symbolic relations. From medieval network to web 3.0
2020
A search has always been at the center of human concerns, the one of conditions and means to represent, to control well, and to communicate effectively with his environment. While technological advances and electronic gadgets such as smartphones, the Web, and online social networks currently allow addressing this concern, it has not always been the case. Our works in this thesis treat medieval documents considered as a medium of communication and as a model of the social network in the Middle Ages. These documents are called medieval illuminations. They were luxurious paintings used in that time to represent the environment and ideal world for elites such as prince, duke, etc. Those paintin…
Analogical reasoning performance and organization is influenced by the type of semantic distractors : an investigation with adults
2015
International audience; The way participants adapt their search to the specifics of different types of analogies is not fully understood. We compared the effects of two types of semantic distractors. The first were related to C by a semantic relation which had nothing to do with the semantic relation used in the A:B pairs, whereas the second, the so-called "double distractors", were not only related to C but also had a semantic relation similar to the one linking A to B. We used eye-tracking measurements in addition to reaction time and performance indices. We found that performance decreased, and that the solution set was less explored visually with the double distractors than with the for…
Semantisko lauku analīze ziņu rakstos par jaunuzņēmumiem
2022
Semantiskie lauki ir semantiski savienotu vārdu kopa, kas ir saistīti nozīmē. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir analizēt semantiskos laukus ziņu rakstos par jaunuzņēmumiem. Tāpēc šis pētījums ir sadalīts piecās galvenajās nodaļās, lai skatītu teorētisko ietvaru un veiktu empīrisku pētījumu. Pētījumā tiek izmantota satura analīze, lai aprakstītu un analizētu ziņu rakstus par jaunuzņēmumiem, kas ir saistīts ar komponentu analīzes koncepciju. Pēc tam semantiskās attiecības semantiskajos laukos tiek analizētas. Empīriskā pētījuma rezultāti liecina, ka korpusā tika identificēti dažādi semantiskie lauki. Vārds ar vienu nozīmi var veidot dažādus semantiskos laukus ar atšķirīgiem vārdiem un vārdi semantiskajā …
