Objectives: Wernicke’s aphasia is one of the most prominent focal brain deficits affecting the comprehension abilities of patients while preserving their production abilities. Although a lot of studies in different languages have been conducted to analyze the nature of this deficit, still some controversies exist in this regard. While some research studies attribute this defect to a performance...

In Japanese potential and tough constructions, arguments standing in various semantic relations to a base verb can be marked with nominative case. Such subjects also may show up with genitive case in nominalizations irrespective of their semantic relations. This paper, addressing a variety of case alternations which have not hetherto attracted much attention from theoretical linguistics, propos...

For most natural language processing tasks, a parser that maps sentences into a semantic representation is signiicantly more useful than a grammar or au-tomata that simply recognizes syntactically well-formed strings. This paper reviews our work on using inductive logic programming methods to learn de-terministic shift-reduce parsers that translate natural language into a semantic representatio...

The paper discusses the lexical description and runtime treatment of multiword expressions in the Ontological Semantic (On-toSem) text processing environment. We show how our formalism permits the encoding of syntactic structures and semantic entities of any degree of complexity, and how those descriptions support the automatic generation of high quality, formal text-meaning representations fro...

After setting out the challenges posed by argument alternations for linguistic theory, this paper reviews the development of accounts of argument alternations over the last fifty years, documenting a shift from accounts that are primarily syntactic in nature to accounts with semantic and pragmatic components. The remainder of the paper consists of case studies of the developing understanding of...
