LEXICAL RELATIONS A. Collocation The problems non-native speakers may have with English vocabulary use - in particular with the appropriate combinations of words.

adaptive semantic repository in long-term learning to store retrieval patterns of historical query sessions. We then extract high-level semantic features from the semantic repository and seamlessly integrate low-level visual features and high-level semantic features in short- term learning to effectively represent the query in a single retrieval session. The high-level semantic features are dynamically updated based on users’ query concept and therefore represent the image’s semantic concept more

With the use of Role and Reference grammar‚ an approach that takes algorithmic maps from semantics to syntax and from syntax to semantics. This is an idealization of what a speaker does (semantics to syntax) and what a hearer does (Van Valin‚n.d P:3). In this paper we shall analyze when the determiner ‘it’ should be used as opposed to ‘an’ and vice-versa‚ with regards to the types of construction using the semantic macro-roles under this approach. 1.1 General Introduction to Waray Waray (or Waray-Waray)
