The paper describes an application-oriented system that corrects agreement errors. In order to correct a sentence with such errors, an extended morphological structure is created which contains various grammatical forms of the words used in the sentence. For this structure the bottom-up parsing is performed, and syntactic structures are found that contain minimal number of changes in comparison...

The syntax structure of double negative sentence and affirmation sentence are suitable for paraphrase. By syntax analyzing structure of double negative sentences and their affirmation sentence, proposed method abstract paraphrase templates. Matching of paraphrase template with paraphrase sentences is completed by calculating their similarity. The small-scale experiments have been done and got t...

Sentences in Dutch can be interrupted in various ways. We will use the term intercalation for interruptions by the speaker/writer that occur within the boundaries of a sentence without influencing this sentence (cf. de Groot 1949). The sentence (the host sentence or host) continues after the intercalation as if the intercalation were not there; the syntactic structure and the intonation pattern...

which is encountered when the underlying conceptual.structure is built for the sentence. However, the mismatch need not be restricted to elements of the sa/ne sentence. Even though the elements of a particular sentence may not result in a semantic mismatch, the whole sentence itself can be metaphorical with respect to its linguistic context. In this case the semantic mismatch is encountered whe...

We propose the connectionist Japanese complex sentence parser JSPAC. JSPAC is composed of three modules, the simple sentence parser, the segmenter and the stack. The segmenter and the stack segment a complex sentence into simple sentences. The simple sentence parser generates a case structure from the segmented simple sentence. After training JSPAC with the learning data which we generated, we ...

Children as young as two use sentence structure to learn the meanings of verbs. We probed the generality of sensitivity to sentence structure by moving to a different semantic and syntactic domain, spatial prepositions. Twenty-six-month-olds used sentence structure to determine whether a new word was an object-category name (This is a corp!) or a spatial-relational term (This is acorp my box!)....

This paper studied effects of topic structure and sentence length on acoustic parameters at intonational phrases boundaries, comparing female and male speakers. Twenty native speakers of Mandarin Chinese read 12 short discourses,which contained two sentences. The second sentence was either short or long. And, the transition between the two sentences was either topic continuation, topic elaborat...

The importance of small Chinese sentences is no less than that sentences, which an inherent feature itself. According to this characteristic, paper proposes a sentence semantic understanding method for scientific and technological abstracts based on the minimum structure. Firstly, conceptual model was established identifying structure corpus verbs, relative words, prepositions markers Language ...

Although it is generally accepted that a sentences information structure (IS) is determined by its relationship to previous text, the question of how to establish the appropriate discourse context for IS assignment is never raised. Analyses of IS normally assume that that sentence is a question and the target sentence is the answer to that question [1]. The assumption is always that the prior c...

only two voices have been represented in italian grammar. if we look at the passive constructions from a pragmatic point of view, it can be seen as a language strategy being classified as an event. this change of perspective creates different structures. in this article we shall study a speaker’s change of perspective in attention to the valence theory. according to this theory, a verb on the b...
