In this paper I propose that a core property of adverbial meaning is the ability (or the lack thereof) of an adverbial to introduce a new time discourse referent. The core data comes from that same day in narrative discourse. I argue that unlike other previously studied temporal adverbials—which introduce a new time discourse referent and relate it to the speech time or a previously mentioned t...

Paratactic syntactic structures are difficult to represent in syntactic dependency tree structures. As such, we propose an annotation schema for syntactic dependency annotation of Japanese, in which coordinate structures are separated from and overlaid on bunsetsu(base phrase unit)-based dependency. The schema represents nested coordinate structures, non-constituent conjuncts, and forward shari...

This paper provides an analysis of the temporal location adverb now. The core data comes from free indirect discourse, where now often co-occurs with the past tense and has an affinity for stative sentences. Building on Kamp & Reyle’s (1993) analysis, I propose that now is a perspective setting anaphor: it requires an eventuality described by an aspectual phrase to hold throughout a salient eve...

Data warehouse is a system which can integrate heterogeneous data sources to support the decision making process. Data warehouse design is a lengthy, time-consuming, and costly process. There has been a high failure in data warehouse development projects. Thus how to design and develop a data warehouse have become important issues for information systems designers and developers. This paper rev...

Frequent pattern mining is a core data mining operation and has been extensively studied over the last decade. Recently, mining frequent patterns over data streams have attracted a lot of research interests. Compared with other streaming queries, frequent pattern mining poses great challenges due to high memory and computational costs, and accuracy requirement of the mining results. In this cha...
