This article describes the generation of aggregated and elliptic sentences, using Dependency Trees connected by rhetorical relations as input. The system we have developed can generate both hypotactic and paratactic constructions with appropriate cue words, and various forms of ellipsis such as Gapping and Conjunction Reduction. We contend that Dependency Trees connected by rhetorical relations...

Was the Commynes’s syntactic cohesion (a man “not literary”, father of genre memoirs and diplomat fifteenth century which syntax has been often described as paratactic or uncohesive) influenced, according to received idea, by his habit diplomatic despatch was she perceived uncohesive contemporaries? To answer questions, respectively, we compare lack Memoirs with those autograph letters then sea...

Parentheses are included in their host sentences, but at the same time they show unintegrated behavior. This article studies this Janus-faced phenomenon from a syntactic point of view. There are two main parts. The first introduces the term Invisibility for syntactic independence based on the absence of c-command relations, which is a particular way of defining structural independence. A number...

Abstract The paper argues for a bisentential, paratactic account of Hanging Topic Left Dislocations wherein the syntactically unconnected hanging topic phrase is remnant an elliptical copulative sentence which linearly juxtaposed to second, host sentence. This proposal represents natural extension Ott’s system Clitic and predicative non-restrictive nominal appositives. By assuming that structur...

I will describe a new computational approach to natural language semantics. I call it Token-based minimal recursion semantics (TBMRS). TBMRS can be seen as a version of Minimal recursion semantics (MRS, Copestake et al 1999), which is way of structuring semantic representations. Both the original and the present versions of MRS have been developed as integrated into a Head-Driven Phrase Structu...
