  2. 21. Tree Transformations in Inductive Dependency Parsing

    Author : Jens Nilsson; Joakim Nivre; Pierre Nugues; Växjö universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Inductive Dependency Parsing; Dependency Structure; Tree Transformation; Non-projectivity; Coordination; Verb Group; Language technology; Språkteknologi; Computer and Information Sciences Computer Science; Data- och informationsvetenskap;

    Abstract : This licentiate thesis deals with automatic syntactic analysis, or parsing, of natural languages. A parser constructs the syntactic analysis, which it learns by looking at correctly analyzed sentences, known as training data. The general topic concerns manipulations of the training data in order to improve the parsing accuracy. READ MORE

  4. 22. Language Engineering in Grammatical Framework (GF)

    Author : Janna Khegai; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; multilingual authoring; machine translation; natural language processing; syntax editing;

    Abstract : This thesis describes a number of practical experiments rather than theoreticalinvestigations in the area of natural language processing. The basis forthe work presented is Grammatical Framework (GF). It is a very complexsystem, which comprises among other things a grammar formalism based ontype theory and its implementation written in Haskell. READ MORE

  5. 23. Processing coordinated verb phrases : the relevance of lexical-semantic, conceptual, and contextual information towards establishing verbal parallelism

    Author : Damon Tutunjian; The University of Michigan; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; psycholinguistics; sentence processing; coordination; eyetracking; word-by-word reading.;

    Abstract : This dissertation examines the influence of lexical-semantic representations, conceptual similarity, and contextual fit on the processing of coordinated verb phrases. The study integrates information gleaned from current linguistic theory with current psycholinguistic approaches to examining the processing of coordinated verb phrases. READ MORE

  6. 24. Verbal Meaning: A Linguistic, Literary, and Theological Framework for Interpretive Categories of the Biblical Hebrew Verbal System as Elaborated in the Book of Ruth

    Author : Bo-Krister Ljungberg; Centrum för teologi och religionsvetenskap; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; perspe; grounding; text linguistics; subordination; mood; modality; tense; temporal location; aspect; ideology; level; pragmatics; semantics; syntax; communicative dimensions; Old testament exegesis; book of Ruth; verbal system; Framework; biblical Hebrew; Bible; Bibelvetenskap; Non-Christian religions; Världsreligioner ej kristendom ; Linguistics; Lingvistik;

    Abstract : The verbal system of Biblical Hebrew has intrigued the minds of exegetes, linguists, theologians, and translators for centuries. With regard to the verbal system, Biblical Hebrew is radically different from Modern Hebrew. Furthermore, it doesn't fit the traditional structure of grammar modelled on Latin. READ MORE

  7. 25. The Physical Foundation of the Patterning of Physical Action Verbs : A Study of Chinese Verbs

    Author : Hong Gao; Allmän språkvetenskap; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Languages and literatures of South and South-East Asia; verbal semantics; trajector; semantic representation; pyscholingistics; polysemy; physical reality; physical foundation; physical action verbs; observability; motion; lexicalization patterning; landmark; intentionality; innateness; physical contact; force-dynamics; combinability; conflation; cognitive semantics; active zone; affectability; Chinese; Kinesiska och språk och litteratur från Syd- och Sydostasien; Linguistics; Lingvistik; Grammar; semantics; semiotics; syntax; Grammatik; semantik; semiotik;

    Abstract : This work is a study of verbal semantics with a focus on the discussion and illustration of the role of body parts and the semantic incorporation into verbal roots of the actions that involve various body parts. Following a general discussion of the basic issues of language construction and human body actions with the image schemas of force-dynamics presented in line with the framework of cognitive semantics, it is argued that the event structures of physical action verbs are not arbitrarily constructed but rather the constructions are built through systematic cognitive processes in relation to both human physical reality and concrete reality in the world.
