Understanding Semantics and Pragmatics in Language Study
Semantics and pragmatics are key areas of language study that focus on the meanings of words, phrases, and sentences. Semantics delves into the literal meanings and language as a system, while pragmatics explores how speakers use language in context. Understanding semantic meaning involves consideri

Unsupervised Multiword Expression Extraction Using Measure Clustering Approach
Goal of this study is to develop an unsupervised method for extracting multiword expressions (MWEs) like idioms, terms, and proper names of different semantic types. The research focuses on properties of MWEs, data analysis, statistical measures, and clustering results to supplement lexical resource

Exploring the Intersection of Physicalism, Panpsychism, and Experience
Delve into the complexities of accommodating experience within physicalism, considering emergence, panpsychism, and the combination problem. The discussions touch on fundamental compositionality, contrasting compositions versus combinations, and exploring the thin subjects of phenomenology as subjec
