“…However, the intricacies and richness of classical Chinese poetry, characterized by its conciseness and profound symbolism, present significant challenges in this task. First and foremost, the conciseness and polysemy of the language used in these poems often mean that each character or word can carry multiple layers of meaning [5,22]. This characteristic lends unique beauty and emotional depth to the poetry but simultaneously introduces variability and ambiguity in interpretation.…”

Ancient Chinese poetry, a reflection of Chinas rich cultural and philosophical fabric, encapsulates the evolving socio-cultural nuances of its historical epochs. Despite its cultural significance, there remains an evident lacuna in comprehensively classifying its recurring themes, due in part to the conciseness and polysemy intrinsic to the language and the essentiality of embedded cultural and historical contexts. Addressing this challenge, this study introduces TwinEmbedAttentionNet, a pioneering method tailored for the thematic classification of ancient Chinese poetry. This approach synergistically integrates pretrained word and sentence embeddings with an attention mechanism, ensuring the nuanced representation of the poetrys intricate details. Our results showcase its superior performance over existing models. Furthermore, an in-depth examination of model components offers insights into their respective thematic categorization efficacies. This research not only advances the academic understanding of ancient Chinese poetry but also underscores the potential of innovative neural networks in processing historically rich textual data.

“…Research suggests that Chinese is more polysemous than English, with higher context sensitivity (Aaronson & Ferres, 1986;Golden, 1996;Hunt & Agnoli, 1991). Semantic analyses of Chinese polysemy have been conducted in literature (e.g., Gao, 2001;Newman, 1993;Thepkanjana & Uehara, 2008;H.-C. Wu, 2003).…”

Polysemy refers to multiple senses related to a single word form. It constitutes a significant portion of the vocabulary stock of a language and presents a particular challenge to second language (L2) learners. A particular difficulty for the L2 learner is learning the various patterns, or polysemy constructions, in which a given word might occur.

Chinese Linguistics in Spain

This article provides a historical and institutional overview of Chinese Linguistics in Spain, starting with the pioneer sinologists of the sixteenth century, followed by the advent and evolution of Chinese Studies since the late 1970's, and concluding with a summary of current scholarship. The beginnings From its beginnings in the 16th century up to the 18th century, the study of Chinese linguistics in Spain was almost exclusively in the hands of missionaries, who made an important contribution both in quantitative and qualitative terms. Spanish Franciscan and Dominican missionaries were the first to study the language, ideas, customs and history of China in order to better understand the Chinese and thus more easily convert them to Christianity. It was at that time that Martin de Rada (1533-1578) is believed to have written Arte y Vocabulario de la Lengua China [Grammar and Vocabulary of the Chinese Language]-the first work on the Chinese language written in a European language. Juan Cobo (1546-1592) was responsible for the first translation of a Chinese book (Fàn Lìběn's 範立本 Míng Xīn Băo Jiàn 明心寳鋻 [Rich Mirror of the Clear Heart]) into
