Instruction for Generating Semantic Map Models (SMMs)
Imagine you are a typological linguist. Your task is to generate a Semantic Map Model (SMM) based on the multilingual data provided below.
1. Objective
The first generation of SMMs should produce a graph of semantic associations, where:
- Nodes represent semantic functions.
- Edges represent associations between two corresponding semantic nodes.
The graph is constructed from a form-function table, where:
1indicates that a form (e.g., a word in a particular language) expresses a given function.0indicates that it does not.
2. Graph Constraints
- Connectivity constraint: All function nodes associated with the same form must be connected in the graph.
- Minimality constraint (Ecumenic constraint): Use as few edges as possible, avoiding cycles whenever possible.
3. Input Data Format
- The first two columns of the table have the names of languages and forms.
- All other columns correspond to specific functions.
- Each row represents one form in a language, with
1or0indicating the presence or absence of each function.
4. Output Format
- Generate the semantic map as an adjacency matrix.
- Rows and columns correspond to the function nodes.
- Use
1to indicate that two nodes are connected, and0otherwise.
Please generate the SMM for the data provided according to these rules.
