Argument structure and animacy restrictions on anaphora1
This paper presents a new constraint, the Antecedent Closeness Constraint (ACC), which unifies the binding properties of control, Super Equi-NP constructions, picture NPs, and anaphors as specifiers of NPs (in English). The focus will be on the last three cases, which share the property of containing an anaphoric element that is exempt from binding theory (see section 4 for examples of the data...
متن کاملNP Animacy Identification for Anaphora Resolution
In anaphora resolution for English, animacy identification can play an integral role in the application of agreement restrictions between pronouns and candidates, and as a result, can improve the accuracy of anaphora resolution systems. In this paper, two methods for animacy identification are proposed and evaluated using intrinsic and extrinsic measures. The first method is a rule-based one wh...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Effect of Dependency Information on Predicate-Argument Structure Analysis and Zero Anaphora Resolution
This paper investigates and analyzes the effect of dependency information on predicateargument structure analysis (PASA) and zero anaphora resolution (ZAR) for Japanese, and shows that a straightforward approach of PASA and ZAR works effectively even if dependency information was not available. We constructed an analyzer that directly predicts relationships of predicates and arguments with thei...
متن کاملParticipation and argument in legislative debate on statewide smoking restrictions
BACKGROUND In this paper we review the relationship between participation in legislative hearings, the use of ideological arguments, and the strength of public health legislation using a theoretical construct proposed by E. E. Schattschneider in 1960. Schattschneider argued that the breadth and types of participation in a political discussion could change political outcomes. METHODS We test S...
متن کاملAnaphora and Argument Structure: Topics in the Syntax and Semantics of Reflexives and Reciprocals
This thesis presents an examination of the syntactic and semantic properties of natural language reflexive and reciprocal expressions, which are commonly referred to as anaphors in syntactic theory. The work is carried out in the broader context of ‘binding theory’ and ‘control theory’. Binding theory has two main aspects. The first aspect is to explain the distribution of nominal expressions i...
