Abstract

ABSTRACT Spatial prepositions have been studied in some detail from multiple disciplinary perspectives. However, neither the semantic similarity of these prepositions, nor the relationships between the multiple senses of different spatial prepositions, are well understood. In an empirical study of 24 spatial prepositions, we identify the degree and nature of semantic similarity and extract senses for three semantically similar groups of prepositions using t-SNE, DBSCAN clustering, and Venn diagrams. We validate the work by manual annotation with another data set. We find nuances in meaning among proximity and adjacency prepositions, such as the use of close to instead of near for pairs of lines, and the importance of proximity over contact for the next to preposition, in contrast to other adjacency prepositions.
地理空间介词及其意义语义相似性的实证研究
空间介词已经从多个学科角度进行了较为详细的研究。然而,这些介词的语义相似性和不同空间介词的多重意义之间的关系都没有得到很好的理解。在对24个空间介词的实证研究中,我们利用t-SNE、DBSCAN聚类和Venn图对3组语义相似的介词进行了语义相似性程度和性质的识别和语义提取。我们通过使用另一个数据集进行手动注释来验证工作。我们发现邻近介词和邻接介词在意义上的细微差别,例如对行使用close to而不是near,以及与其他邻接介词相比,邻近介词比接触更重要。
