1 Constraints on metalinguistic anaphora
نویسنده
چکیده
Just as it is possible to refer to any entity, concrete or abstract, in extralinguistic reality, it is also possible to refer to any linguistic entity, be that a phoneme, a word, a sentence, or any other linguistic object. Metalinguistic reference can be achieved in two ways, by means of ‘autonymous’ and ‘heteronymous’ mention (cf. Recanati 2000: 137). Autonymous mention is a matter of quotation: a token of a linguistic string can be produced in order to refer to another token of that string or to a type which it instantiates:

Constraints on metalinguistic anaphora*

متن کاملA type-theoretic approach to anaphora and ellipsis resolution
We present an approach to anaphora and ellipsis resolution in which pronouns and elided structures are interpreted by the dynamic identification in discourse of type constraints on their semantic representations. The content of these conditions is recovered in context from an antecedent expression. The constraints define separation types (sub-types) in Property Theory with Curry Typing (PTCT), ...
متن کاملInferential Realization Constraints on Functional Anaphora in the Centering Model
We present an inference-based text understanding methodology for the resolution of functional anaphora in the context of the centering model. A set of heuristic realization constraints is proposed, which incorporate language-independent conceptual criteria (based on the well-formedness and conceptual strength of role chains in a terminological knowledge base) and language-dependent information ...
متن کاملOn Anaphora and the Binding Principles in Categorial Grammar
In type logical categorial grammar the analysis of an expression is a resource-conscious proof. Anaphora represents a particular challenge to this approach in that the antecedent resource is multiplied in the semantics. This duplication, which corresponds logically to the structural rule of contraction, may be treated lexically or syntactically. Furthermore, anaphora is subject to constraints, ...
متن کاملAutomatic Processing of Large Corpora for the Resolution of Anaphora References
Manual acquisition of semantic constraints in broad domains is very expensive. This paper presents an automatic scheme for collecting statistics on cooccurrence patterns in a large corpus. To a large extent, these statistics reflect, semantic constraints and thus are used to disambiguate anaphora references and syntactic ambiguities. The scherne was implemented by gathering statistics on the ou...
