Formal Concept Lattices as Semantic Maps
Ch. 10. P. 78–87.
Ryzhova D., Obiedkov S.
In this paper, we present an application for formal concept analysis (FCA) by showing how it can help construct a semantic map for a lexical typological study. We show that FCA captures typological regularities, so that concept lattices automatically built from linguistic data appear to be even more informative than traditional semantic maps. While sometimes this informativeness causes unreadability of a map, in other cases, it opens up new perspectives in the field, such as the opportunity to analyze the relationship between direct and figurative lexical meanings.

This article describes verbs denoting motion of liquid and dry substances in Slavic languages. The research explores how Slavic languages lexicalize different situations within the semantic field of substance motion and identifies the parameters that drive this lexicalization (e.g., type of substance, intensity and quantization of flow, and causation). Adjacent grammatical phenomena such as argument ...

This paper revises the findings of Dekier (2021) concerning the syncretism and containment of indefinites in light of their semantic implausibility and empirical inadequacy, compared to the alternative semantic approach of Degano & Aloni (2025), and argues against the omnipotence of a nanosyntactic approach to coexpression phenomena. The paper also addresses the diachronic predictions of Nanosyntax and ...

The article is dedicated to the morphosyntactic properties and grammatical functions of the Shughni marker -ard. Shughni, like many other Iranian languages, has a reduced case system that seems to be gradually evolving and expanding. We demonstrate that the marker -ard is one of the main candidates for the status of a new case marker ...

Традиционно в литературе, посвящённой лексической полисемии, обсуждают два основных механизма семантических сдвигов — метафору и метонимию. Метафора подробно исследовалась в применении к разным лексическим классам, тогда как метонимия изучалась в основном на материале существительных. При обсуждении метонимии на глагольном материале [Падучева 2004; Кустова 2004] различают два класса переходов: обусловленных перепрофилированием аргументной структуры и смежностью разных фаз ...

The article examines Russian verbs of disappearance analyzing their semantic and syntactic properties. These verbs are classified as “underdetermined predicates” similar to verbs of hiding and searching as they do not specify the exact process of disappearance only indicating its result. Unlike verbs of searching and hiding, verbs of disappearance do not describe associated processes ...

In Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), concept reduction serves as an important means of simplification. The application scenarios of concept reduction cover various aspects such as data mining, knowledge discovery, strategic decision-making, and rule learning. For symmetric formal contexts, a specialized class of concept reduction exists that can fully recover all knowledge. However, most existing concept ...

The article presents a system of verbs of the semantic field of ‘mixingʼ in Shughni. Based on dictionary data and the results of speaker interviews using a typological questionnaire, we show that there are about 13 verbs in this semantic zone, including both simple and complex verbs. The paper considers the peculiarities of use of ...

Clustering aims at finding disjoint groups of similar objects in data and is one major task in Machine Learning. It is also gaining more attention in Formal Concept Analysis community in these last years. This paper proposes an original approach to the clustering of complex data based on Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) and Pattern Structures. ...

The paper is devoted to the basic principles of verbal colexification defined at the cross-linguistic
level. We understand colexification as a non-random association of two or more meanings within one
and the same lexical item. We argue that these associations, reproducing in different languages, should
follow certain principles and form clear patterns. Drawing on our extensive experience of ...

This paper focuses on the main verbs of change in Finnish — muuttaa, vaihtaa and korvata and their frequentative derivatives. The verbs are analysed within the frame-based approach to lexical typology, which suggests that a semantic field can be divided into several situation types, or frames. Lexemes map differently onto the frames in the world’s ...

In this paper we introduce and study description quivers as compact representations of concept lattices and respective ensembles of decision trees. Formally, description quivers are directed multigraphs where vertices represent concept intents and (multiple) edges represent generators of intents. We study some properties of description quivers and shed light on their use for describing state-of-the-art symbolic machine ...
