Ever since Constantino’s (1965) study on the different sentence patterns of Philippine languages appeared, most of the studies regarding the sentence structure only dealt with the problem in pure syntactic terms. In fact, Constantino’s classic paper merely listed the different types of sentences that are found in the various Philippine languages. The most recent study on Tagalog gave an attempt...

Sentence compression is a task of generating a grammatical short sentence from an original sentence, retaining the most important information. The existing methods of removing the constituents in the parse tree of an original sentence cannot deal with recursive structures which appear in the parse tree. This paper proposes a method to remove such structure and generate a grammatical short sente...

Sentence ranking is a crucial part of generating text summaries. We compared human sentence rankings obtained in a psycholinguistic experiment to three different approaches to sentence ranking: A simple paragraph-based approach intended as a baseline, two word-based approaches, and two coherencebased approaches. In the paragraph-based approach, sentences in the beginning of paragraphs received ...

The syntactic structure of sentences in a document substantially informs about its authorial writing style. Sentence representation learning has been widely explored recent years and it shown that improves the generalization different downstream tasks across many domains. Even though utilizing probing methods several studies suggests these learned contextual representations implicitly encode so...

Sentence production difficulties are a common feature of aphasia. The aim of the current study was to investigate the processes involved in sentence production and to identify whether consistent patterns of difficulties are associated with non-fluent and fluent aphasic speech. An analysis of sentence production was designed which described thematic, phrasal and morphological structure. The sent...

In Czech linguistics, TFA has been systematically explored thanks to the classical Prague School of functional and structural linguistics. As reflecting the ‘given – new’ strategy in discourse, TFA has been considered to belong to the main objects of linguistic study. Continuing the results gained by V. Mathesius, J. Firbas and others since the 1920s, the explicit linguistic descriptive framewo...

A fundamental step in sentence comprehension involves assigning semantic roles to sentence constituents. To accomplish this, the listener must parse the sentence, find constituents that are candidate arguments, and assign semantic roles to those constituents. Each step depends on prior lexical and syntactic knowledge. Where do children learning their first languages begin in solving this proble...

I this article we argue that discourse structure constrains the set of possible constituents in a discourse that can provide the relevant context for structuring information in a target sentence, while information structure critically constrains discourse structure ambiguity. For the speaker, the discourse structure provides a set of possible contexts for continuation while information structur...

Syntax is the study of sentence structures. Many studies Arabic sentences adopt traditional grammatical methods, and less so methods in modern linguistics. This aims to (i) identify themes previous related analysis structures; (ii) detect gaps found (iii) highlight issues that can be used as new future. reviews literature on structures reported theses, dissertations, journals, books seminar pro...
