Pregroup Analysis of Persian Sentences
We use Pregroups to provide an algebraic analysis of Persian sentences. Our analysis hints to some of the profound and subtle properties of the Persian grammar, e.g. similarity of its parsing patterns to Hindi (both descendants of of Sanskrit) and similarity in parsing patterns of its causal subordinate and relative sentences. These findings are facilitated by the use of reduction diagrams, a f...
متن کاملAssign Stress for Interrogative Sentences via Syntax Structure Mapping
Compared to the prosody study in statement-like sentence, little research has been conducted in interrogative sentence, which will definitely improve the naturalness of spoken dialog system. This paper proposes a computational model to assign stress in interrogative sentences using linguistic knowledge. We firstly investigate the interrogative sentences perceptually to label their stress locati...

متن کاملGeneralized Quantifiers in Declarative and Interrogative Sentences
In this paper we present a logical system able to compute the semantics of both declarative and interrogative sentences. Our proposed analysis takes place at both the sentential and at the discourse level. We use syntactic inference on the sentential level for declarative sentences, while the discourse level comes into play for our treatment of questions. Our formalisation uses a type logic sen...

The denotation which is neutral for all possible uses is defined in te...
