In this paper we present an algorithm to anchor floating quantifiers in Japanese, a language in which quantificational nouns and numeralclassifier combinations can appear separated from the noun phrase they quantify. The algorithm differentiates degree and event modifiers from nouns that quantify noun phrases. It then finds a suitable anchor for such floating quantifiers. To do this, the algori...

We present an approach to the new task of opinion holder and target extraction on opinion compounds. Opinion compounds (e.g. user rating or victim support) are noun compounds whose head is an opinion noun. We do not only examine features known to be effective for noun compound analysis, such as paraphrases and semantic classes of heads and modifiers, but also propose novel features tailored to ...

The Thai particle thı̂i introduces relative clauses and noun-complement clauses, but does not introduce clausal complements of verbs. This paper provides a unified analysis for these two noun phraseinternal clauses as modifiers, proposing that thı̂i is a compementizer which is interpreted as a lambdaoperator that derives CP-sized properties. This analysis is extended to the use of thı̂i in factive...

Noun phrases carry much of the information in a text. Systems that attempt to acquire knowledge from text must first decompose complex noun phrases to get access to that information. In the case of noun compounds, this decomposition usually means bracketing the modifiers into nested modifierhead pairs. It is then possible to determine the semantic relationships among individual components of th...

Bantu languages generally have a noun-initial DP word order but they typically allow for demonstratives, and in some also the quantifier meaning ‘each, every’, to precede noun. Beyond this, changing relative of post-nominal modifiers which leads subtle (focus-related) changes not adjectives, numerals possessives appear before In this paper, we discuss alternations that are allowable Xitsonga th...

Abstract This work investigates the syntax of nominal modification involving linker a in Siwkolan Amis, one dialects an Austronesian language spoken Taiwan. Based on two observed types NP-ellipsis patterns and formal licensing condition, I argue that Amis displays modification. Modifiers direct are functional heads projecting extended projections NP, whereas those indirect modifier phrases base...

The present study investigates linguistic relativity. Do form differences between Dutch and English influence the interpretations which speakers have? The Dutch element en in noun-noun compounds, for example in aardbeienjam ‘strawberry jam’ is homophonous and homographic with the regular plural suffix -en. English, in contrast, has no such typical linking elements in compounds. We therefore inv...
