A Medical Language Processor for Two Indo-European Languages
نویسنده
چکیده
The syntax and semantics of clinical narrative across Indo-European languages are quite similar, making it possible to envison a single medical language processor that can be adapted for different European languages. The Linguistic String Project of New York University is continuing the development of its Medical Language Processor in this direction. The paper describes how the processor operates on English and French.

Phylogenetics of Indo-European Language families via an Algebro-Geometric Analysis of their Syntactic Structures
Using Phylogenetic Algebraic Geometry, we analyze computationally the phylogenetic tree of subfamilies of the Indo-European language family, using data of syntactic structures. The two main sources of syntactic data are the SSWL database and Longobardi’s recent data of syntactic parameters. We compute phylogenetic invariants and likelihood functions for two sets of Germanic languages, a set of ...
متن کاملEarly Phonological and Lexical Development of a Farsi Speaking Child: A Longitudinal Case Study
The present study aims at the description and analysis of the phonological and lexical development of a child who is acquiring Farsi as his first language. The child's language production at the holophrastic stage of language development, mainly single words, is observed and recorded longitudinally for nearly seven months since he was 16 months old until he turned 23 months.

متن کاملAncestry sampling for Indo-European phylogeny and dates
Abstract—The date of the root of the Indo-European language family received much attention due to the application of Bayesian phylogenetic methods since the beginning of the last decade. The inferred root date of the family moved along with the development of new methods and better data. In this paper, I compare two dating techniques known as node-dating and total evidence dating for the Indo-E...
متن کاملOn Parameters of Agreement in Austronesian Languages
In general, a functional head can search upward or downward through the syntactic tree in order to find a DP/NP that it can agree with (I claim, see Baker In press: ch. 2, 3 for much discussion). The DAP says that this freedom is restricted in some languages, such that functional heads only search upward. Most Niger-Congo (NC) languages have the positive setting of the DAP, whereas most Indo-Eu...
متن کامل2. IE & IEs
PROTO-INDO-EUROPEAN is the traditional name given to the ancestor language of the Indo-European family that is spread from Iceland to Chinese Turkestan and from Scandinavia to the Near East. A PROTO-LANGUAGE (Gk. prõtos ‘first’) refers to the earliest form of a language family presupposed by all of its descendants. There will forever be major gaps in the reconstruction of proto-languages, but a...
