Automatic discovery of Latin syntactic changes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Syntactic change tends to affect constructions, but treebanks annotate lower-level structure: PCFG rules or dependency arcs. This paper extends prior work in native language identification, using Tree Substitution Grammars to discover constructions which can be tested for historical variability. In a case study comparing Classical and Medieval Latin, the system discovers several constructions corresponding to known historical differences, and learns to distinguish the two varieties with high accuracy. Applied to an intermediate text (the Vulgate Bible), it indicates which changes between the eras were already occurring at this earlier stage.

Constructional Potentiality: Priscianic grammar as a disambiguation technique in the automatic recognition of Latin syntax
technique in the automatic recognition of Latin syntax In most languages word order plays the major role in determining which words form a single phrase or constitute. A tree s£ructure can be abstracted automatically from a sentence by linear determination of the major syntactic constitutes. However, in certain highly-inflected languages, of which Latin is perhaps the most extreme example, cons...
متن کاملAutomatic Discovery of Technology Networks for Industrial-Scale R&D IT Projects via Data Mining
Industrial-Scale R&D IT Projects depend on many sub-technologies which need to be understood and have their risks analysed before the project can begin for their success. When planning such an industrial-scale project, the list of technologies and the associations of these technologies with each other is often complex and form a network. Discovery of this network of technologies is time consumi...
متن کاملFirst Steps towards the Semi-automatic Development of a Wordformation-based Lexicon of Latin
Although lexicography of Latin has a long tradition dating back to ancient grammarians, and almost all Latin grammars devote to wordformation at least one part of the section(s) concerning morphology, none of the today available lexical resources and NLP tools of Latin feature a wordformation-based organization of the Latin lexicon. In this paper, we describe the first steps towards the semi-au...
متن کاملAutomatic Discovery of Intentions in Text and its Application to Question Answering
Semantic relations between text concepts denote the core elements of lexical semantics. This paper presents a model for the automatic detection of INTENTION semantic relation. Our approach first identifies the syntactic patterns that encode intentions, then we select syntactic and semantic features for a SVM learning classifier. In conclusion, we discuss the application of INTENTION relations t...

Automatic identification of words with semantic roles (such as Agent, Patient, Source, etc.) in sentences and attaching correct semantic roles to them, may lead to improvement in many natural language processing tasks including information extraction, question answering, text summarization and machine translation. Semantic role labeling systems usually take advantage of syntactic parsing and th...
