A fact often not made explicit by syntacticians is that these labels need to be interpreted in semantics. The semantics of tenses has been formulated as a theory of temporal reference since the seminal work of Reichenbach (1947). Subsequently this theory has been integrated into a theory of context change, which widens the domain of tense semantics from the sentence to discourse (Kamp. 1979, Ka...

Lot of work has already been done for automatic text summarization. In this paper we have given a novel statistical approach to summarize the given Odia text. In our approach extraction of relevant sentences is done which can give the actual concept of the input document in a concise form. We rank each sentence in the document by assigning a weight value to each word of the sentence. The senten...

However, in different languages this principle applies in a different degree, depending on the character of the respective language system, in particular on the type of word order connected with it. For English as a language with fixed word order it was accordingly assumed that if the principle of end focus is to be complied with, the syntactic function of a clause element must be consistent wi...

English is a language that relies extensively on word order to signal grammatical roles and meaning of sentences. Although studies have heavily emphasized the role of word order for children learning English, there is little information regarding children learning languages that rely less on word order and more on inflections and particles. Such data would be essential in formulating a language...

introduction: developing new radiosynovectomy agents is of great importance due to the aging of human populations around the world and increasing the incidence of inflammatory diseases. in this work, sm-153 chitosan agent was developed for the first time in our country and preparation and quality control of the compound is described. methods: sm-153 chloride was obtained by thermal neutron flu...

In this paper, we propose a new model to calculate the similarity of two sentences. The proposed scheme is based on the amount of semantic load which is shared between two sentences. Since verb is the essential part of a sentence, the main focus of the proposed model is on the verbs of two sentences. We supposed the verb as the anchor of the sentence which carries the most semantic of the sente...

This paper proposes a method of sentence-style conversion for generating spontaneous Japanese speech in a text-to-speech synthesis system. Since written language is different from spoken language linguistically, the speech by direct reading of written Japanese texts might be unnatural. The method takes a fully rulebased approach to convert the sentence style and to complement sentences, which a...

In this study the local and global prosodic exponents of information structure are examined in the production of six Bulgarian question-answer elicited sentences under different focus conditions (broad focus and non-contrastive and contrastive narrow focus). Local cues are the phonetic properties of the nuclear accented syllables, while global cues reflect broader phonetic patterns in the inter...
