“…For instance, in the example of the verb "to-delay" the more restrictive concepts can be related to various additional features, corresponding to the interpretations "linger", "dally" and "tarry" (dated), according to the combination of features used. The features defining each verb, ranging from the more general to the more restrictive concept, are formalized from standard and formal definitions and examples from dictionaries, a methodology encountered in data mining applications (Kontos et al 2000). The interpretation of these verbs is accounted for in the form of additional features located at the end-nodes of the ontology, functioning as additional semantic restrictions or "Selectional Restrictions" (Gayral et al 2000;Wilks & Fass 1992), within an ontology of words.…”

The present approach targets the facilitation of translation and the correct transfer of opinions, style and overall spirit of written and spoken online journalistic texts. Here, we present the integration of an annotation strategy for written and spoken journalistic texts, detecting elements with explicit and implicit connotative features. The proposed annotation strategy is morphologically based, functioning as a checklist and targeting to address re-occurring problems encountered mainly by "semi-professional" translators, namely journalists, economists and other professionals working with multilingual written and transcribed journalistic texts available from the media and the Internet. Most of these professionals, usually having an above-average fluency of one or more foreign languages, often lack the necessary exposure to the culture(s) related to the concerned foreign language(s), especially due to distance or frequent changes of location. Thus, essential information is presented either in a subtle form or in an indirect way, constituting emotionally and socio-culturally "marked" elements, often going undetected. The present user-oriented design is aimed to be 8 English, German and the "Semi-Professional" International Translator integrated into an annotation tool targeting the indication of the largest possible percentage of the points in the texts signalizing "marked" information, alerting the user-translator to evaluate these expressions and, in the case of transcribed spoken journalistic texts, to allow a comparison of "marked" elements with prosodic and paralinguistic features in the respective multimedia files.

“…For instance, in the example of the Greek spatial expression "'mesa" ("in") the more restrictive concepts can be defined with the features [± movement] and [± entering area], corresponding to the interpretations "into", "through", "within" and "inside", according to the combination of features used. The features defining each spatial expression, ranging from the more general to the more restrictive spatial concept, are formalized from standard and formal definitions and examples from dictionaries, a methodology encountered in data mining applications [7]. The prosody-dependent indexical versus vague interpretation of these spatial expressions is accounted for in the form of additional [± indexical] features located at the endnodes of the spatial ontology.…”

The observed relation between prosodic information and the degree of precision and lack of ambiguity is attempted to be integrated in the processing of the user's spoken input in the CitizenShield ("POLIAS") system for consumer complaints for commercial products. The prosodic information contained in the spoken descriptions provided by the consumers is attempted to be preserved with the use of semantically processable markers, classifiable within an Ontological Framework and signalizing prosodic prominence in the speakers spoken input. Semantic processability is related to the reusability and/or extensibility of the present system to multilingual applications or even to other types of monolingual applications.
