2. 1. An inquiry into Minimalist phrase structure

   Author : Jonathan White; Högskolan Dalarna; []
   Keywords : phrase structure; syntax; syntactic theory; the Minimalist program; result clauses; circumstance adjuncts;

   Abstract : This thesis takes as its starting point the proposal in Kayne (1994) that all syntactic structures are underlyingly spec-head-complement, and that they are right-branching. I will investigate this proposal taking data from English degree constructions, namely result clauses and comparatives. READ MORE

4. 2. Optional rhemes and omitted undergoers : An event structure approach to implicit objects in Swedish

   Author : Johanna Prytz; Cecilia Falk; Ida Larsson; Marit Julien; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; implicit objects; object omission; null objects; object drop; objectless sentences; pseudo-transitive; non-core transitive; transitivity; Swedish; event structure; argument structure; the syntax-semantic interface; implicita objekt; objektsutelämning; nollobjekt; objektslösa satser; pseudotransitiva verb; transitivitet; eventstruktur; argumentstruktur; Scandinavian Languages;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to define the essential syntactic-semantic properties of three types of objectless sentences in present-day Swedish. The three types of objectless sentences are labeled descriptively as follows: Implicit Object Read type (IOR) with pseudo-transitive verbs like läsa ‘read’; Implicit Object Open type (IOO), which involves various sets of transitive verbs like öppna ‘open’ and bära ‘carry’; and Implicit Object Kill type (IOK), which typically involves destruction verbs like döda ‘kill’.

7. 5. Text Harmonization Strategies for Phrase-Based Statistical Machine Translation

   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Statistical machine translation; text harmonization; compound words; definiteness; reordering; unknown words;

   Abstract : In this thesis I aim to improve phrase-based statistical machine translation (PBSMT) in a number of ways by the use of text harmonization strategies. PBSMT systems are built by training statistical models on large corpora of human translations. This architecture generally performs well for languages with similar structure. READ MORE
