This study is about word sense disambiguation in specific domain. This approach is done by identifying the major sense of ambiguous words from Wordnet. In addition, this method is working by embedding two corpora which is domain specific test corpus (contain target ambiguous words) and a domain-specific auxiliary corpus (obtained by using relevant words from the domain-specific test corpus). This method consist of four key steps which is (1) auxiliary corpus generation; (2) related features extraction (from the auxiliary corpus); (3) test features extraction (from the test corpus); and (4) features integration. This approach has been tested on domain-specific corpora (Sports and Finance) and on one balanced corpus, BNC. However, this approach showed some restrictions when dealing with the general-domain corpus but the obtained results for domain specific corpora were better compare to previous

  • Kieu Tran's Comprehensive Diction Summary

    242 Words  | 1 Pages

    Kieu Tran’s comprehensive diction produces a clear distinction between American and Asian culture with examples of “physical punishment in Asian traditions is not considered child abuse” and “in America, there is no way that Asian parents can physically punish their children, if their children perform badly.” Kieu Tran touches on the ideas that America relies heavily on the thought of equality between any person, whether it is a minor or an adult, and the effects it has on Asian immigrant families, especially from Vietnam. In America, beating a child for whatever reason is automatically classified as child abuse, and it can lead to days in jail, like what happened to Mr. Ma and his daughter. Mr. Ma struck his daughter twice, which led to him

    “My skin color was an asset for any move I was educated to want to make”(Mcintosh 1). A quote from Peggy McIntosh’s essay shows how the way we are treated in our societies has a direct impact on the way we perform in that society. The essay caused me to think deeply about myself and how I truly am privileged to be white; although we may not notice it there are millions of privileges linked to our skin colour. Upon finishing the reading I was questioning not only white privilege but also things like racism and what I myself could do to help people of other ethnicity’s not feel underprivileged. To begin, Peggy McIntosh mentions in her essay the fact that men have privilege over women causing women disadvantages in the same way whites have power

  • Ambiguity In Elizabeth Bowen's The Demon Lover

    539 Words  | 3 Pages

    Ambiguity or fallacy of ambiguity is a word, phrase or statement, which contains more than one meaning. Ambiguity is usually a technique used in a text to generate confusion for the reader. For instance, " The Demon Lover” by Elizabeth Bowen is a short narrative that shows this previous characteristic, since it can be interpreted in several ways such as: it is a ghost story or it's simply about a mentally unstable protagonist ( Kathleen). Personally I believe it is just a story about a mentally unstable woman for reasons such as : trauma for having her husband lost and presumably dead, trauma for the war and several other descriptions in the text. It is important to state that losing a loved one, especially the person you share your life with, is a much dramatic if not traumatic event.

  • Ambiguity In Henry James's The Turn Of The Screw

    1429 Words  | 6 Pages

    Ambiguity is the characteristic of a word, phrase, or book that can be understood in multiple ways. Henry James, during the middle part of his career, incorporated this type of vagueness into his writing. One of James's most debatable use of ambiguity was a ghost story. In the novella The Turn of the Screw, Henry James uses conflict, perspective, and ambiguity to create a mystery, with his own twist, for the reader to solve and leave them guessing. James, through conflicts involving the children and possible ghosts, limited point of view, and the overall ambiguity, forces the reader to solve mysteries throughout the book without giving the answers at the end.

    In the novel “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”, Stevenson uses descriptive language to create a mood of terror. The author uses events and places to create a feeling of terror in the reader’s mind. The Black Mail House is the first place to create a sense of terror, following The Door. The way that Hyde is described by people is a suspenseful description for a person. In my opinion, these three chapters are the most suspenseful in the rising action.
