Semantic Shift



Semantic Shift The high-end residential complex STORY, situated near the Avtozavodskaya metro station and the former ZIL factory, is delicately inscribed in the contrastive context, while its shape, which combines a regular grid and a stunning “shift” of the main facade, seems to respond to the dramatic history of the place, at the same. Semantic Shift in the English Language（Timothy M. HARRIS） The second of Stern's categories, analogy, involves relationships between words. For example, the adverb fast gradually developed from its earlier meaning of 'firmly' to include the later meaning of.

Abstract: Words are malleable objects, influenced by events that are reflected inwritten texts. Situated in the global outbreak of COVID-19, our research aimsat detecting semantic shifts in social media language triggered by the healthcrisis. With COVID-19 related big data extracted from Twitter, we trainseparate word embedding models for different time periods after the outbreak.We employ an alignment-based approach to compare these embeddings with ageneral-purpose Twitter embedding unrelated to COVID-19. We also compare ourtrained embeddings among them to observe diachronic evolution. Carrying outcase studies on a set of words chosen by topic detection, we verify that ouralignment approach is valid. Finally, we quantify the size of global semanticshift by a stability measure based on back-and-forth rotational alignment.
