Semantic structure is a fancy term for an organization that represents meaning. For example, an English sentence is a semantic structure. Consider the following sentence structure: subject - verb - object Now, before you object, saying "The words have meaning, not the structure! " Dog bites man. Man bites dog. Now, obviously the words have meaning. So, you ask, how do I know which position means what? What does a Semantic Structure have to do with metadata? Let's say I ask you to build a house out of blocks, and give you your choice of two different sets of blocks. With which set could you build a house the quickest?
Clearly, the set of Lincoln Logs allows you the highest degree of individuality and flexibility, as well as the greatest possibility for future expansion. The IMS metadata standard is written like a set of Lincoln Logs, as illustrated in the Table 1 below. Table 1. That's about enough of that wooden metaphor. Meta-metadata.Create.Person. Lexical Semantics Bibliography. Journal of Pragmatics. Vol 44, Iss 1, Pgs 1-130, (January, 2012) Lexical Pragmatics: Relevance Theory and Generalized Conversational Implicatures. A Pragmatic Quick Reference. October 11, 2004 I modified the recommended reading list to include The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master .
By way of celebration, I also created a vanilla HTML version of the quick reference card included with the book. If you haven't read the book, the reference card will give you a great idea of the gems covered inside. And if you have, well, it never hurts to review a carefully considered checklist, provided you're willing to question the list . The Pragmatic Programmer Quick Reference Guide This page summarizes the tips and checklists found in .

Turn off the autopilot and take control. Instead of excuses, provide options. Fix bad designs, wrong decisions, and poor code when you see them. Test ruthlessly. Lexical Approach 1 - What does the lexical approach look like? Introduction The theory of language Principle 1 - Grammaticalised Lexis Principle 2 - Collocation in action About the authors Further Reading Introduction The principles of the Lexical Approach have been around since Michael Lewis published 'The Lexical Approach' 10 years ago.
It seems, however, that many teachers and researchers do not have a clear idea of what the Lexical Approach actually looks like in practice. In this first of two articles we look at how advocates of the Lexical Approach view language. In our second article we apply theories of language learning to a Lexical Approach and describe what lexical lessons could look like. We have also produced teaching materials for you to try out in your own classrooms. Common English Lexical Framework. Lexical Pragmatics. Methods: (i) Using word-sets standardly cited in the literature on default narrowing (e.g. bachelor, drink, secretary ), we will search the Bank of English (a 450 million word corpus of contemporary British English) and WordNet (which provides synonym sets) for actual examples which we will use in developing our own account, and test it by comparing the relative frequencies of default vs flexible interpretations.
(ii) Using a well-established experimental paradigm developed by the psycholinguist Ira Noveck for measuring reaction times to context-sensitive meanings (Noveck & Posada, 2002), we will test the claim that default interpretations are automatically assigned, and abandoned only if they result in inconsistency. (Noveck will run the experiments at the Cognitive Science Institute, Lyon, using word-sets supplied by us.) (3b) Is it possible to develop a unified account of approximation and metaphor?
