Word roots with different structures may hold some semantic relation with each other. This is due to the presence of similar molecular constituents in root structures, which stand for either their structural properties or their functional characteristics. This book shows that many of these molecular constituents achieve similar roles even in different language families. The main mission of this book is thus to convey the message that conceptualizing the semantic relevance between the roots with some structural similarity may yield some insight regarding the nature of these roots and their constituents. Therefore, as far as it concerns the audience, the book will appeal to anyone engaged with linguistics, anthropological and cultural studies, as well as language pedagogy.
Kambiz Badie received all his degrees from Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan. His research focus is analogical knowledge processing and modeling interpretative processes, while his familiarity with Constructive Realism and Strangification as its main strategy enabled him to develop some advanced frameworks for analogical reasoning and interpretative processes. Within this scope, he is the author of two books and a variety of papers on the interpretative approach to analogical reasoning, viewpoint-oriented manipulation of concepts, semantic fusion for phrase interpretation, and schema satisfaction reasoning. He is a Full Professor at the ICT Research Institute, Iran, an Adjunct Professor of the University of Tehran, Iran, and an invited member of the Iranian Academy of Science.Maryam Tayefeh Mahmoudi received her PhD degree in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Tehran, Iran. She has co-authored a book on Strangification (as the core strategy of Constructive Realism), and a variety of research papers on content generation, content management, text mining and text summarization with a particular emphasis on e-education and research support purposes. She is an active researcher in the areas of content management and creation and augmented reality, and is interested in their application to human issues such as human-computer interaction and e-pedagogy and e-learning. At present, she is an Assistant Professor and Head of the Education, Scientific and International Collaboration Office at the ICT Research Institute, Iran.
