Abstract:

This book is an exploration of the dimensions of meaning in language from
several important perspectives that are of major interest to scholars today,
bringing together studies from the realms of linguistic pragmatics, semantics,
ontological knowledge engineering, and computational linguistics. Situated
within modern functional-cognitive constructional-ontological and
computational paradigms, the analyses here are supported by authentic language
data, including corpus data, from a rich set of languages. Context and
situation play an important but complex role in meaning elaboration. The role
of context and situation is elusive and has proved difficult to elucidate with
respect to meaning and knowledge representation. This volume provides evidence
of the nature of the, often rapid, emergence of meaning in the digital world
of the internet, social media, and Internet memes. The use of computational
avatars and the rise of human language technologies, including big data and
digital corpora, have made the construction of meaning and human language
understanding essential to the work of linguists, cognitive scientists and
computer scientists who are increasingly working together in collaborative
teams to share insights.
