Popkultūras neoloģismi ar biznesu saistītajā britu presē

2021

Šajā pētījumā apskatīta angļu valodas vārdu krājuma augšana, pētot popkultūras neoloģismus britu biznesa valodā. Darbā britu biznesa presē identificētu popkultūras neoloģismu krājums pētīts ar kvalitatīvām un kvantitatīvām metodēm, veicot morfoloģisku analīzi vārdu darināšanas tendenču izpētei, kamēr kritiskā diskursa analīze kopā ar diahronisko analīzi un salīdzinājumu dažādos tekstos veido detalizētas semantiskās interpretācijas. Semantiskā analīze liecina, ka šie neoloģismi ir galvenokārt jaunradīti ar digitālo tehnoloģiju un sociālo mediju jomām saistīti vārdi, kas skaidrojams ar intensīvu šo jomu saskarsmi ar modernajām popkultūras izpausmēm, savukārt kvantitatīvie dati norāda, ka neol…

Fluent Speakers of a Second Language Process Graspable Nouns Expressed in L2 Like in Their Native Language

2017

According to embodied cognition, language processing relies on the same neural structures involved when individuals experience the content of language material. If so, processing nouns expressing a motor content presented in a second language should modulate the motor system as if presented in the mother tongue. We tested this hypothesis using a go-no go paradigm. Stimuli included English nouns and pictures depicting either graspable or non-graspable objects. Pseudo-words and scrambled images served as controls. Italian participants, fluent speakers of English as a second language, had to respond when the stimulus was sensitive and refrain from responding when it was not. As foreseen by emb…

Explaining Causes Behind SQL Query Formulation Errors

2020

This Full Research Paper presents the most prominent query formulation errors in Structured Query Language (SQL), and maps these errors to their cognitive explanations. Understanding query formulation errors is a key to teaching SQL. more effectively. However, studies on what kind of errors novices struggle with are relatively scarce when compared to, for example, programming languages. Although committing errors is a crucial part in learning, some errors are relatively easy to fix, and their commonness is not necessarily an indication of their difficulty. Other errors, however, halt the learning process, and are never fixed by the query writer. Using a previously established error taxonomy…

Semantically Closed Languages Reconsidered. Re-Reading Alfred Tarski

2019

The text shows that Alfred Tarski studied semantics to define a true sentence in a m a t e r i a l l y a d e q u a t e and f o r m a l l y c o r r e c t way, and in effect he defined the co-called semantically closed languages as a subset of formalized ones, in which the occurrence of the Liar paradox is imminent because of the features of the language used. This is one of the points of Tarski’s heritage where misunderstandings constantly occur among the readers of Tarski‘s work, and that is why the present paper may prove to be useful by presenting suitable excerpts from the original Tarski’s text. Tarski found additional limiting criteria applicable to formalised languages, which may prev…

Linear Types for Higher Order Processes with First Class Directed Channels

1995

Abstract We present a small programming language for distributed systems based on message passing processes. In contrast to similar languages, channels are one-to-one connections between a unique sender and a unique receiver process. Process definitions and channels are first class values and the topology of process systems can change dynamically. The operational semantics of the language is defined by means of graph rewriting rules. A static type system based on the notion of linear types ensures that channels are always used as one-to-one connections.

Report of the Scientific Committee of the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) on the safe use of three aqueous solutions of hydrogen…

2020

* This record is given in both English and Spanish. The company Peroxychem Spain S.L.U. has requested a safety assessment of the use of three aqueous solutions of hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid and peracetic acid as processing aids. 1-Hydroxy ethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP) was used as a stabiliser. The proposed use is the antibacterial treatment of water used to wash citrus fruits and peppers in processing plants. When this water is disinfected, it can be reused for the consecutive washing of fruits and vegetables through a recirculating system, maintaining it in appropriate conditions and thus reducing water usage. These are the same aqueous solutions previously assessed by the AE…

Naming sensory impressions in winespeak between professionals and non-professionals

2014

International audience; Connections between semantics — for instance, cognitive semantic models such as prototype theory — and sensory analysis have often been studied from an interdisciplinary perspective involving disciplines such as linguistics, cognitive psychology, and chemistry. Among the many fields concerned with this topic, this paper will focus on the particular case of winespeak and especially on the co-construction of a shared knowledge between professionals and consumers. The hypothesis to be verified is (i) that objectivist and strict terminological approaches can not account for the processes at work when professionals and non professionals try to agree on the ‘specialized me…

An Automatic Ontology-Based Approach to Support Logical Representation of Observable and Measurable Data for Healthy Lifestyle Management: Proof-of-C…

2020

Background Lifestyle diseases, because of adverse health behavior, are the foremost cause of death worldwide. An eCoach system may encourage individuals to lead a healthy lifestyle with early health risk prediction, personalized recommendation generation, and goal evaluation. Such an eCoach system needs to collect and transform distributed heterogenous health and wellness data into meaningful information to train an artificially intelligent health risk prediction model. However, it may produce a data compatibility dilemma. Our proposed eHealth ontology can increase interoperability between different heterogeneous networks, provide situation awareness, help in data integration, and discover…

Zīmola stāsta analīze: lingvistiskā pieeja

2022

Darba mērķis ir definēt galvenās tēmas un metodes, kas izmantotas, veidojot Apple zīmolam piederošo produktu un funkciju nosaukumus, kā arī partneru izmantotos nosaukumus, uz kuriem Apple atsaucas, lai pilnveidotu sava zīmola stāstu. Pētījuma gaitā tika analizētas izvēlētas Apple oficiālās reklāmas, analizējot, kā reklāmās minēto zīmolu nosaukumu nozīme atklājas semiotiski, pragmatiski, semantiski un kā šī nozīme palīdz pilnveidot Apple zīmola stāstu. Pēc darba rezultātiem var secināt, ka Apple zīmols izmanto vārdus no cilvēka ķermeņa semantiskā lauka, lai ierīces iespējas un produkti iegūtu personiskāku nokrāsu. Daudzi Apple zīmola nosaukumi ir saistīti ar bibliskiem motīviem, ko uzņēmums …
