Query languages and keywords based search engines are conventionally specified and implemented with the emphasis put on syntactic rules to which query typing and answering must be bound. MDDQL is a query language and system that operates on a semantic model in terms of a graph based ontology. As a software technology, MDDQL allows the meaning of/and associations between information to be known ...

if we take ibn malik as the connecting chain of the interconnected history of syntax, we will find him among the last analytic scholars and theorist grammarians, since in his era, the principles of syntax has been established and grammarians didn’t provide new ideas. but discussion of ibn malik’s innovative syntactic approaches is important because of two reasons. due to his authoritative posit...

Formal Concept Analysis has become a real approach in the trend Information-Knowledge-Wisdom. It turns around the mining of a data set to built a concept lattice which provides an strong structure of the knowledge. Implications play the role of an alternative specification of this concept lattice and may be managed by means of inference rules. This syntactic treatment is guided by several prope...

The medical area conveys very specific terms (p. ex., blepharospasm, appendicectomy), which are difficult to understand by people without medical training. We propose an automatic method for the acquisition of paraphrases, which we expect to be easier to understand than the original terms. The method is based on the morphological analysis of terms, syntactic analysis of texts, and text mining o...

In this paper, we introduce a syntax-based sentence simplifier that models simplification using a probabilistic synchronous tree substitution grammar (STSG). To improve the STSG model specificity we utilize a multi-level backoff model with additional syntactic annotations that allow for better discrimination over previous STSG formulations. We compare our approach to T3 (Cohn and Lapata, 2009),...

Background: The P600 brain wave reflects syntactic processes in response to different first language (L1) syntactic violations, syntactic repair, structural reanalysis, and specific semantic components. Unlike semantic processing, aspects of the second language (L2) syntactic processing differ from the L1, particularly at lower levels of proficiency. At higher L2 proficiency, syntactic violatio...

The purpose of this paper is to help linguists contruct a consistent, sufficient and less redundant syntax of language. An acceptable string corresponds to an expression or an utterance: it may be a natural text, a string of morphemes, a tree structure or any kind of representation. A sharp distinction is made between the syntactic function which is an attrib trin s and the distribution class w...

This paper looks at representing paraphrases using the formalism of Synchronous TAGs; it looks particularly at comparisons with machine translation and the modifications it is necessary to make to Synchronous TAGs for paraphrasing. A more detailed version is in Dras (1997a). 1 I n t r o d u c t i o n The context of the paraphrasing in this work is that of Reluctant Paraphrase (Dras, 1997b). In ...

Morpho-syntactic patterns device encompasses a subcategory of the cohesive devices that assists hearers to have an adequate mental representation for understanding speech. This article investigates the morpho-syntactic patterns employed in some Persian live sport radio and TV programs adapting Dooley and Levinsohn’s theoretical and analytical framework. The research data includes around 30,000 ...
