Summary (Автоматизация лексико-типологических исследований методы и инструменты), страница 5

Interestingly, the conventionalsemantic map does not capture this tendency; it simply places the frame ‘sharp (used aboutinstruments with a sharp end-point)’ between the other two frames, which implies that it isequally likely to converge with the frame ‘sharp (about elongated objects)’ and ‘sharp (aboutinstruments with a sharp edge)’ (see. Fig. 4 above).Fig. 6. FCL for the semantic field ‘sharp’Secondly, due to the hierarchical organization of nodes, both direct and figurativemeanings can be visualised in the map. At the same time, the map preserves the schematicrepresentation of the degree of proximity between the direct meanings, because all thecorresponding nodes are located at one level of the lattice, while the nodes of the figurativemeanings occupy the level below.

This configuration manifests the relations between theoriginal and the resulting semantics of the lexemes that underwent metaphorization, andvisualises the models of the relevant semantic shifts (see Fig. 7); this fully conforms to theobservations on the nature of the juxtaposition between direct and figurative meanings proposedby Рахилина, Резникова 2013.16Fig. 7. FCL depicting some of the relations between the direct and the figurative meanings in the semanticfield ‘sharp’When the topology of a semantic field is more complex than linear, the graphicrepresentation of the FCL becomes illegible because FCLs are more informative thanconventional semantic maps.To sum up, the suggested methodology:(1) can be used to automate generation of (advanced) semantic maps for linearly organisedfields or for linear segments of fields with a more complex structure;(2) can serve as the basis for a subsequent algorithm for automated generation of semanticmaps that would convert FCLs into conventional graphs.

However, to implement suchan algorithm, it is necessary to decide which information should be kept, and whichregularities that are captured by formal concept analysis may be discarded whentransforming an FCL into a graph.The Conclusion summarises the key outcomes of the research:(1) It is the first time that quantitative methods of collection and analysis of data areimplemented within the frame-based approach to lexical typology;(2) We provided new, quantitative evidence that the lexical typological concept of frameis grounded in the linguistic reality;(3) It was demonstrated that frames are overlapping clusters with distinctly pronouncedcentres, i.e.

prototypical situations.(4) We proposed and described a formalised procedure of a frame-based lexicaltypological research project; the project is divided into several stages each of whichdeals with specific problem;(5) We developed algorithms that automate each stage of the project. The proposedalgorithms perform the following functions:a) generate the draft of a lexical typological questionnaire;b) translate the draft into multiple languages and fill it with data from availablecorpora;17c) plot the collected data onto the semantic map; the map visualises relationsbetween the frames of both direct and figurative meanings;(6) We performed an in-depth analysis of the obtained results and suggested directions forfurther development of the methods that proved most efficient.In summary, the present research demonstrates that implementation of the latestdevelopments opens up new vistas for lexical typological analysis. The new methods:(1) drastically accelerate the research process and dramatically broaden the scope oflinguistic data available for investigation;(2) offer the maximum possible degree of independence from the theoretical premisesinitially held by the researcher and from their native language;(3) uncover new patterns in organization of lexical meanings.18The following papers have been published discussing the subject of the present thesis:1.
