This paper introduces a rule-based classification of single-word and compound verbs into a statistical machine translation approach. By substituting verb forms by the lemma of their head verb, the data sparseness problem caused by highly-inflected languages can be successfully addressed. On the other hand, the information of seen verb forms can be used to generate new translations for unseen ve...

Seeking to develop the first satisfying universal definition of basic grammatical units of the major syntactic categories such as "noun," "verb," and "adjective" and of the principal grammatical relations, "subject," "object," and "oblique," William Croft employs the methods of cross-linguistic or typological analysis and cognitive linguistics. Drawing evidence from a wide variety of languages,...

In this squib, we propose a technique aimed at efficient computer implementation of LFG-based parsers for Indian languages in general and Bangla (Bengali) in particular. (For the LFG formalism, see Kaplan and Bresnan [1982].) The technique may also be useful for other languages having similar properties. Indian languages are mostly nonconfigurational and highly inflectional. Grammatical functio...

This paper is concerned with the use of linguistically motivated phrases as indexing terms in Information Retrieval applications. Apart from the conventional noun phrases, we propose to use verb phrases as index terms for text classification. Techniques for phrase matching through syntactic normalization and semantical matching are described. We discuss the realization of the syntactic normaliz...

A Korean-Japanese-Chinese aligned wordnet, “CoreNet” is introduced. For the purpose of this paper, the term “wordnet” refers to a network of words. It is constructed based on a shared semantic hierarchy that is originated from NTT Goidaikei (Lexical Hierarchical System). Korean wordnet was constructed through the semantic category assignment to every meaning of Korean words in a dictionary. Ver...

The current study investigated the processing stages by which parser incorporates different pieces of information, from clausehood to argument roles, update predictions about main verb. Using Mandarin match word position across relevant conditions, we extend classic ERP findings on impact role reversals ([The millionaireSUBJECT servantOBJECT fired] vs. #[The servantSUBJECT millionaireOBJECT fir...
