Propuesta de un modelo de análisis para la hiponimia y meronimia

Abstract

In this paper the similarities and differences of the semantic relations of inclusion IR, hyponymy and meronymy are analyzed. These relations set up among words belong to the names semantic category. We present an analysis model of IR based on the phenomena of categorization and the meaning composition, defined like mental processes. The theoretical frame of our investigation leaves from the concept of lexical unit like unit of knowledge within a conceptual area (Langacker 1987), whose meaning is associated to a body of conceptual content (Croft and Cruse 2004). The formal characteristics of our model are based exclusively on the semantic aspects of the proposals of Pustejovsky (1995) and Jackendoff (1990, 1991, 2003); on implicit inferencial rules in each one of the inclusion relations: meronymy and hyponymy (Lyons 1975, Croft and Cruse 2004, Cruse 2004) and in the conventional restrictions that take part in the final meaning construction. The formal model of the analysis proposed is applied to some words of the names semantic category pertaining to the scope of the computer science security that have been come off their technical character and comprise of the daily speech.
