By displaying material an innovative manner linking it effectively, this interactive portal—which offers reliable content is designed following modern educational princip...

the persian morpheme ra has attracted the attention of many linguists including karimi (1989), dabir-moghaddam (1990) and ghomeshi (1996) among others. karimi takes ra as the accusative case marker, the presence of which on subjects and objects of prepositions render the sentence ungrammatical. according to ghomeshi (1996), it marks dps functioning as vp-level topics. dabir-moghaddam (1990) ana...

The work we present here is concerned with the acquisition of deep grammatical information for nouns in Spanish. The aim is to build a learner that can handle noise, but, more interestingly, that is able to overcome the problem of sparse data, especially important in the case of nouns. We have based our work on two main points. Firstly, we have used distributional evidences as features. Secondl...

Evolutionary Programming (EP) seems a promising methodology to automatically find programs to solve new computing challenges. The Evolutionary Programming techniques use classical genetic operators (selection, crossover and mutation) to automatically generate programs targeted to solve computing problems or specifications. Among the methodologies related with Evolutionary Programming we can fin...

We report the case of a brain-damaged subject R.C. who is more impaired at producing grammatical forms of words and pseudo-words used as verbs (he judges, he wugs) than of the same words used as nouns (the judges, the wugs). This pattern of performance constitutes the first clear demonstration that grammatical knowledge about verbs can be selectively impaired following brain damage. A compariso...

The aim of this paper is to discuss difficulties involved in adopting an existing system of semantic roles in a grammar engineering task. Two typical repertoires of semantic roles are considered, namely, VerbNet and Sowa’s system. We report on experiments showing the low inter-annotator agreement when using such systems and suggest that, at least in case of languages with rich morphosyntax, an ...

Verb modality presents a major processing obstacle in any NLP application, and can be overcome either by exhaustively listing all possible modal variants of any given verb, or by deriving any modality-based valency alterations in situ. Given the combinatorial complexity of any exhaustive listing attempt, we adopt this second methodology in proposing a modular set of valency frame transformation...

AbstractGrammatical Evolution (GE) is one of the most popular Genetic Programming (GP) variants, and it has been used with success in several problem domains. Since original proposal, many enhancements have proposed to GE order address some its main issues improve performance.In this paper we propose Probabilistic Grammatical (PGE), which introduces a new genotypic representation mapping mechan...
