   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; grammatical functions; Swedish; grammatical function assignment; grammatical function reanalysis; argument prominence; discourse prominence; information structure; event-related brain potentials; self-paced reading; corpus-based modeling; Bayesian surprise; surprisal; Linguistics; lingvistik;

   Abstract : This dissertation investigates how grammatical functions in transitive sentences (i.e., `subject' and `direct object') are distributed in written Swedish discourse with respect to morphosyntactic as well as semantic and referential (i.e. READ MORE

4. 2. Expressivity and Complexity of the Grammatical Framework

   Author : Peter Ljunglöf; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Grammatical Framework; generalized context-free grammar; multiple context-free grammar; context-free rewriting systems; type theory; expressive power; abstract syntax; linearization; parsing; context-free rewriting systems;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the expressive power and parsing complexity of the Grammatical Framework (GF), a formalism originally designed for displaying formal propositions and proofs in natural language. This is done by relating GF with two more well-known grammar formalisms; Generalized Context-Free Grammar (GCFG), best seen as a framework for describing various grammar formalisms; and Parallel Multiple Context-Free Grammar (PMCFG), an instance of GCFG.

5. 3. Towards a discourse-based model of English sentence intonation

   Author : Merle Horne; Allmän språkvetenskap; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; intonation; discourse; text-to-speech; information focus; pitch; F0; grammatical functions; coreference; prominence; baseline; phonological grid; F0 range; declination; contrastive prominence; syntactic parallelism; phonological phrase; rhythm rule; sentence stress; constrative stress; Raddoppiamento Sintattico; Monosyllabic Destressing; intonational phrase; speech chunk; speech synthesis;

   Abstract : English non-expressive, declarative sentence intonation is examined in a discourse context. A rule system, geared to a text-to-speech context is developed which assigns sentence prominences related to information focus. READ MORE

6. 4. A typology of classifiers and gender : From description to computation

   Author : Marc Tang; Michael Dunn; Christine Lamarre; Sebastian Fedden; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Classifiers; Gender; Nominal classification; Functions; Random Forests; Phylogeny; Word Embeddings; Neural Networks; Linguistics; Lingvistik;

   Abstract : Categorization is one the most relevant tasks realized by humans during their life, as we consistently need to categorize the things and experience that we encounter. Such need is reflected in language via various mechanisms, the most prominent being nominal classification systems (e.g. READ MORE

7. 5. Multilingual Grammars and Universal Dependencies

   Author : Kolachina Prasanth; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NLP; Grammatical Framework; Universal Dependencies; Abstract Syntax; Grammatical Framework;

   Abstract : Abstract syntax trees are an alternative representation to syntactic structures commonly found in NLP systems. This representation allows for sharing of structures across languages, making it well suited to serve as a translation interlingua. READ MORE
