Techniques for the enrichment of ‘Ekfrasis’, the conceptually organized lexicon

There are well established standards for documenting learning objects, such as the IEEE/LOM and the LRE/LOM, and for documenting cultural content, such as the CIDOC-CRM and the SPECTRUM. However, these standards do not provide for standardised metadata of learning objects that exploit cultural objects and enable descriptions of the type Alpha is a learning object made by X and contains a digital image of Joconda made by DaVinci; nor do they provide for a solid framework for DBs that could answer to questions such as "Provide me with learning objects supporting Geography lessons about Greece that are addressed to 14-year olds and contain pictures by one of Papaloukas, Vassileiou, Tsarouhis" or "Provide me with either learning objects or digital pictures of pieces of art on harvesting wheat". Furthermore, existing large repositories...

We draw on data retrieved from the Hellenic National Corpus (HNC) in order to define the verbs that allow EOC. We treat EOC using anaphoric control. We take the subject of the subordinate na clause (controllee) to be a PRO marked with nominative case that is anaphorically related to the object of the matrix clause (controller). We implement this analysis in our LFG/XLE Grammar by adding the new feature ANAPH_C_BY.

In the corresponding structure in Greek, the subordinate clause lacks an infinitival verb form but surfaces as a na-clause, exemplified by (2) (Triadafillidis 1941, Philippaki 2004, Roussou 2009). Na-complements differ from infinitives, among others, in that in combination with certain control verbs, they license overt subjects (see (3)).
