In this paper, we present a new method of representing the Surface syntactic structure of a sentence. Trees have usually been used in linguistics and natural language processing to represent syntactic structures of a sentence. A tree structure shows only one possible syntactic parse of a sentence, but in order to choose a correct parse, we need to examine all possible tree structures one by one...

Annotated word structures are useful for various Chinese NLP tasks, such as word segmentation, POS tagging and syntactic parsing. Chinese word structures are often represented by binary trees, the nodes of which are labeled with syntactic categories, due to the syntactic nature of Chinese word formation. It is desirable to refine the annotation by labeling nodes of word structure trees with mor...

This paper aims to highlight the fundamental elements of syntactic structure that underlies prosodic phrasing of utterances in Romanian. The present study investigates the relation betwen the syntactic structure of the text, especialy the noun phrases structure, and the prosodic hierarchy of the uttered text. The analysis covers aspects of prosodic phrasing for short and long noun phrases, with...

This paper describes an question answering system based on syntactic information. Our system extracts answer candidates by ranking of score which shows similarity of syntactic structure. Syntactic structure is estimated based on answer type, density of weighty words, distance between words and depth of parse tree. To analyze syntactic structure, morphological analysis, named entity extraction a...
