While semantics, pragmatics, and syntax are distinct branches of linguistics, they are interconnected and influence each other. Syntax deals with the structural rules governing how words are combined to form sentences, while pragmatics studies how language is used in...
Algorithms for text analytics must model how language works to incorporate meaning in language—and so do the people deploying these algorithms. Bender & Lascarides 2019 is an accessible overview of what the field of linguistics can teach NLP about how meaning is encoded in human languages. ...
What is the difference between a lexicon and a dictionary? What is prototype in semantics? What is the place of semantics and pragmatics in linguistics? What is static semantics? What does semantic narrowing mean in linguistics? What is the role of semantics in communication?
In order for NLP to scale beyond partial, task-specific solutions, it must be informed by what is known about how humans use language to express and understand communicative intents. The purpose of this tutorial is to present a selection of useful information about semantics and pragmatics, as...
"Semantics & Pragmatics", David Beaver and Kai von Fintel. 1. Domain Restriction Natural language quantifiers are subject to contextual domain restriction. Issues include whether the restriction occurs via covert material in logical form or via some parameter of evaluation, the precise location of th...

Research methodologies in pragmatics : eliciting refusals to requests The speech act of refusing, as a dispreferred response, is complex to perform and it usually involves indirect strategies as well as mitigating devices to avoid risking the initiator's positive face. The appropriate ... A Martí...
Semantics, the study of meaning, is central to research in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and many other fields connected to Artificial Intelligence. Ne
will be a special thematic session on the Semantics-Pragmatics Interface. We encourage abstract submissions on this theme from various perspectives, including, but not limited to: formal semantics, formal pragmatics, philosophy, psycholinguistics, and cognitive science. ...
