En el marco propuesto por Borzi (2001 y 2010), sostenemos que los esquemas binarios de coordinación/subordinación (definidos a priori cuyas limitaciones se aspira resolver medio del concepto interordinación) no son pertinentes para dar cuenta la relación existente en período causal porque esta es resultado grados coherencia/continuidad discursiva entre las cláusulas lo conforman. El presente ar...

Valence shifting is the task of rewriting a text towards more/less positively or negatively slanted versions. This paper presents a rule-based approach to producing Turkish sentences with varying sentiment. The approach utilizes semantic relations in the Turkish and English WordNets to determine word polarities and involves the use of lexical substitution and adverbial rules to alter the sentim...

This paper is a case study on cross-lingual induction of lexical resources for deep, broad-coverage syntactic analysis of German. We use a parallel corpus to induce a classifier for German participles which can predict their syntactic category. By means of this classifier, we induce a resource of adverbial participles from a huge monolingual corpus of German. We integrate the resource into a Ge...

In this paper, we approach the phenomenon of insubordination in spoken Brazilian Portuguese through data on adverbial clauses extracted from the C-ORAL-BRASIL corpus [Raso and Mello 2012]. Differently from the traditional conception of insubordination [Evans 2007], we propose a synchronic view, strongly based on the analysis of the prosody/pragmatics interface in spoken language. We show that i...

1. RECAPITULATION Part I of this article treats tense in relative clauses (RCs) in English, Russian and Japanese. The temporal centre in RCs can always be Tproi, and sometimes it has to be Tproi. 1. In SOT languages such as English, the Tense in the RC is bound in RC\wollconfigurations, i.e., we find a Tproi bound by woll. The licensing of the morphological tense in the RC is non-local in these...

The present paper gives an account of the approach we have led so far to build a database of frozen units. Although it has long been absent from linguistic studies and grammatical tradition, linguistic frozenness is currently a major research issue for linguistic studies, as frozen markers ensure the economy of the language system. The objective of our study is twofold: we first aim to build a ...

We present an extension of the adverbial entries of the French morphological lexicon DELA (Dictionnaires Electroniques du LADL / LADL electronic dictionaries). Adverbs were extracted from LGLex, a NLP-oriented syntactic resource for French, which in its turn contains all adverbs extracted from the Lexicon-Grammar tables of both simple adverbs ending in -ment (i.e., ’-ly’) (Molinier and Levrier,...
