Hello! I'm Elisa Anju Lardapide, a brazilian-gypsy and BSc Linguistics student. =)
I'm interested mainly in the formal semantics of natural languages and natural language processing (NLP). My projects concerns theoretical linguistics, formal logic and NLP-oriented data.
If you want to contact me, send me an email =u=
After all, what is formal semantics?
Formal semantics is a field of theoretical linguistics which provides mathematical formalizations for the meaning of natural language expressions. I like studying topics related to (anti-)comitativity (such as comitative modifiers, like 'alone' and 'sozinho') and expressive meanings (such as honorifics and slurs, like 'いらっしゃる' and 'pra caralho').
The theory of formal semantics can be implemented computationally, which means that the theory can also be expressed as running code rather than just mathematical formalizations.
Regarding NLP, I'm studying the (semi-)automatic production of linguistics resources like mono-bi-tri-lingual dictionaries and concept-based glossaries / WordNet databases.
