Semantic similarity

memory is any information retained indefinitely, available for later recall of anything a person has experienced. There are various types of long-term memories that were mentioned such as declarative, semantic, and episodic memory. Declarative memory involves the facts and information people can know. Semantic memory is more of the awareness of meanings of concepts, words, and terms. The last type of long-term memory discussed was episodic memory. Episodic memory is more in context to the…

In the past, whenever someone asked me if I believed in ghosts, I would eagerly respond with, “Oh yes, absolutely.” I would then proceed to tell them about the place my family lived in for a very short time when I was an infant, which was “most definitely haunted.” I told stories which I distinctly remembered: the cat getting constantly getting caught in the screen-door, sinks and vacuums turning on by themselves, and my infant self giggling and playing with air when there was no visible person…

Within the long-term memory lecture, Semantic and Episodic memory was discussed. This study involves flashbulb memories and event memories of the 2006 World Cup, which are types of episodic memories. According to our class lecture, episodic memories are a person’s autobiographical memory. It…

Overview of the Semantic Gap - What is it? The semantic gap is the difference between human perception of observations, activities, and objects and their computational or machine-based representations(). It is a split between high level features, or semantic information, and low-level features, of which there are many types. High-level features can include keywords, concepts, categories, or ontologies - virtually all things that lead to determining meanings of text-based information and phrases…

The fourth way in which Semantic changes has traditionally been classified depends on whether they are driven by factors within the language itself, or by language, external factors the main language internal factors that is relevant to meaning of lexical terms. There are many cases where the older meaning happily exists new one. (For example word screen often mean television or computer screen, its older meaning is of large wooden panel). This example shows then shows that the distinction…

stores new memories into the pre-existing storage and REM secure the memories. The flaws and limitations are present in these studies are the contrasting amount of early sleep stage, late sleep stage, and hormones. Without sleep, it would affect the semantic memory by lowering in reaction, unable to hold ideas that are stored, having a difficult time to recall materials that were taught a day before. In one study, they had proposed that REM sleep is crucial…

For example: a) in Indonesian language: jantung kota, bahu jalan, mulut sungai, etc. b) in English language muscle comes from Latin language musculus that means ‘little mouse’. * Animal metaphor This category applied for animal or inanimate types, many plants using animal’s name to call them. For example: a) lidah buaya, kumis kucing, jambu monyet, etc. b) in English there are some plants with animal’s name goat’s-beard and dog’s tail. Beside that, there are animal’s name transferred into…

Phonology, Morphology, Semantics, Syntax and Pragmatics. Linguistic Analysis can be used to determine the historical connection between distinct languages from different locations of the world. But the fact that languages can vary vastly depending upon the region, and hence accurately defining a language can be a tough task. A careful inspection of the poems by Emily Dickinson reveals a prominent degree of interrelatedness with their morphologic, phonologic, syntactic and semantic level. The…

differences between the various understandings of wordplay originate from its unique flexibility. This flexibility can be exploited in literary language through an interaction between a semiotic deficit and a semantic surplus. It could be claimed that wordplay is viewed in either a semiotic or a semantic perspective". He also claims that in the first perspective," wordplay will often be regarded as magical use, while in the second it will often be regarded as more critical of language, which…

information is processed using visual, semantic, or acoustic ques. Maintenance and elaborative rehearsal are storage codes used to store the encoded information. Elaborative rehearsal is “elaborating” on the definition of the word using semantics, acronyms, or acoustic syllables. To adequately retrieve the information, you have encoded and stored you must use proper retrieval cues based on the storage of the information (Rathmus, 2016.pp 148-149). Semantic and acoustic ques are how I retain…
