A semantic-based multi-domain role mapping mechanism

This chapter offers a review of experimental evidence about the role of the speaker’s attention in the choice of syntactic structure and the corresponding word order during sentence production. Here, we describe how the speaker’s syntactic choices reflect the regular mapping mechanism that reflects the features of the described event in the produced sentence. One of the most important event parameters that the speaker considers is the changing salience status of the event’s referents. This chapter summarizes current theoretical debate about the interplay between attention and sentence production mechanisms. Finally, it reviews the corresponding experimental evidence from languages with both restricted and flexible word orders.

Verb Meaning

AbstractExperimental research has shown that English-learning children as young as 19 months, as well as children learning other languages (e.g., Mandarin), infer some aspects of verb meanings by mapping the nominal elements in the utterance onto participants in the event expressed by the verb. The present study assessed this structure or analogical mapping mechanism (SAMM) on naturalistic speech in the linguistic environment of 20 Spanish-learning infants from Argentina (average age 19 months). This study showed that the SAMM performs poorly – at chance level – especially when only noun phrases (NPs) included in experimental studies of the SAMM were parsed. If agreement morphology is considered, the performance is slightly above chance but still very poor. In addition, it was found that the SAMM performs better on intransitive and transitive verbs, compared to ditransitives. Agreement morphology has a beneficial effect only on transitive and ditransitive verbs. On the whole, concerns are raised about the role of the SAMM in infants’ interpretation of verb meaning in natural exchanges.

Secure Interoperation

Role mapping is a basic technique for facilitating interoperation in RBAC-based collaborating environments. However, role mapping lacks the flexibility to specify access control policies in the scenarios where the access control is not a simple action, but consists of a sequence of actions and events from subjects and system. In this paper, we propose an attribute mapping technique to establish secure context in multi-domain environments. We first classify attributes into eight types and show that only two types of attributes need to be translated. We second give the definition of attribute mapping technique, and analysis the properties of attribute mapping. Finally, we study how cardinality constraint violation arises and shows that it is efficient to resolve this security violation.
