Mandarin reduplication semantics profiled using word embeddings

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have utilized distributional semantics and word embeddings to analyze reduplicative constructions in Mandarin Chinese. The study aimed to clarify the variegated semantics of these constructions and explore the utility of embeddings for understanding complex word-formation processes. Findings indicate that Tencent embeddings are suitable for morphological investigation, and semantic profiling revealed that reduplicative constructions are strongly represented across multiple dimensions, with distinct semantic and pragmatic differentiations between the two main patterns.

    Reduplicative constructions in Mandarin: Socio-emotional profiling through distributional semantics

    arXiv:2609.16860v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mandarin Chinese has two productive reduplicative constructions that repeat either two-character base words or their constituents (e.g., `in good health', `discuss a bit'). Their varied meanings have been described as realizing plur…
