Current data-driven analysis and evaluation tools tend to rely on curated data, standardized over time with baked-in data policies and classifications that persist in practice long after real-world semantics have shifted to new categories (Basole et al. 2015).
Was he saved by his shift to semantics?
His declaration that the term "undocumented workers" should be abandoned in favor of "illegal aliens" reflects more than a shift in semantics.
Thus, its semantic derivation, which can be realized by assuming the Kratzerian framework of modal semantics, involves no temporal shifting of the temporal perspective.
Subtle shifts in semantics are often used: Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom and other folkies become nu-folk (using the prefix nu is a canny move as those peddling everything from nu-house to nu-rave will testify); in the hands of Maps and Ulrich Schnauss, shoegazing transmogrifies into stargazing or, hilariously, shoetronica.
Mere shifts in semantics, changes in the order of play, and other deviations could easily have produced a different outcome.
This shift goes beyond mere semantics to conceive a different, more 'nuanced and sophisticated' role for lay knowledge [ 17].
In addition, the focus of some studies has shifted from syntax to semantics, and from production to comprehension.
Our model satisfies the two essential correctness properties, namely, semantics preservation and deadlock prevention, during the shift from maximal firing semantics, followed by synchronous systems, to standard interleaving semantics for input transitions and maximal step firing semantics for output transitions, followed by GALS architectures.
This distinction is not just about semantics or words, it's a total shift in perspective and context.
