Annotating "tense" in a Tense-less Language

In the context of Natural Language Processing, annotation is about recovering implicit information that is useful for natural language applications. In this paper we describe a “tense” annotation task for Chinese, a language that does not have grammatical tense, that is designed to infer the temporal location of a situation in relation to the temporal deixis, the moment of speech. If successful...

Tense like equality algebras

In this paper, first we define the notion of involutive operator on bounded involutive equality algebras and by using it, we introduce a new class of equality algebras that we called it a tense like equality algebra. Then we investigate some properties of tense like equality algebra. For two involutive bounded equality algebras and an equality homomorphism between them, we prove that the tense ...

Optional Stopping

Introduction Suppose you are determined to “prove” that green apples cause cancer. An Optional Stopping strategy (OS) is where you keep looking sampling experimental data until the observed correlation between eating green applies and cancer is significantly different from 0 (where “significantly” means that the null hypothesis is rejected by standard statistical tests). That is, you follow a r...

Optional pragmatic processes or optional covert linguistic structure?*

The starting point for this paper is an asymmetry between overt linguistic indexicals and (alleged) covert indexicals. It has been proposed that the problem can be solved by making covert indexicals optional (Martí 2006) and that this provides a much better (linguistically respectable) account of the key phenomena than one that advocates an optional process of free (not linguistically mandated)...
