This text introduces the semantic aspects of natural language
processing and its applications. Topics covered include: measuring
word meaning similarity, multi-lingual querying, and parametric
theory, named entity recognition, semantics, query language, the
and the nature of language. The book also emphasizes the portions
of mathematics needed to understand the discussed algorithms.
The book presents methods for the objective analysis of poetic
language. Common objects of literary studies such as rhythm,
semantic explications, interpretation and personal impressions are
avoided. Only those properties of poetic texts are taken into
account that could be quantified. The major chapters contain the
analysis of phonic phenomena (frequency, euphony, assonance,
alliteration, aggregation, rhyme), word properties (aspects of
frequency, length, richness, word classes, sequences of word
properties, characterisations). The synergetic control cycle is the
result of the study of mutual links between properties. For all
methods both statistical tests (evaluation, comparison),
theoretical derivations (models), and examples are presented. The
book is dedicated to the work of the famous Romanian poet Mihai
Eminescu whose complete work was analysed, which made detailed
illustrations of the method possible. The methods can be used
mutatis mutandis for any language and text. It is the first
comprehensive quantitative analysis of a poetic work.
