A Constraint-Based Lexical Approach to Floating Quantifiers
In this paper, I present a new nonderivational analysis of the so-called "floating" quantifiers (FQs, hereafter) in English and Korean within the framework of Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG). 2 I show that FQs do not move from place to place, arguing that English FQs are adverbs modifying verb phrases whereas Korean FQs are complement NPs. I review a derivational approach to English...
متن کاملAnchoring Floating Quantifiers in Japanese-to-English Machine Translation
In this paper we present an algorithm to anchor floating quantifiers in Japanese, a language in which quantificational nouns and numeralclassifier combinations can appear separated from the noun phrase they quantify. The algorithm differentiates degree and event modifiers from nouns that quantify noun phrases. It then finds a suitable anchor for such floating quantifiers. To do this, the algori...

متن کاملA Hybrid Approach to Floating Quantifiers: Experimental Evidence
The non-local dependency between a noun and its associate quantifier has been widely discussed. The details may differ, but the formal analyses on floating quantifiers can be divided into three schools of research. One is an adnominal approach, which argues that the noun and the quantifier are externally-merged together (at some point of the derivation), and that the noun has undergone leftward...
