Introduction It is well established that pronouns can intervene between a topicalized constituent and a finite verb in Old English (OE); this has been analyzed as evidence that evidence that the verb moves only as high as T in OE matrix clauses, and that a landing site between T and Spec,CP is available to subject pronouns (cf. Pintzuk 1991). This paper considers a well known exception to this ...

In this paper, we present hybrid approaches for pronominal reference type (abstract or concrete) identification and event anaphora resolution for Hindi. Pronominal reference type identification is one of the important parts for any anaphora resolution system as it helps anaphora resolver in optimal feature selection based on pronominal reference types. We use language specific rules and feature...

In this paper, we propose clear-cut definitions of distinct temporal adverbs and provide descriptive features for each class of temporal adverbs. By measuring time points in temporal axis, we revise and reclassify the temporal adverbs listed in [Lu and Ma 1999] into four classes of semantic roles, namely, time, frequency, duration, and time manner. The descriptive features enable us to distingu...

The study on Automatic Recognizing usages of Modern Chinese Adverbs is one of the important parts of the NLP-oriented research of Chinese Functional words Knowledge Base. To solve the problems of the existing rule-based method of adverbs’ usages recognition based on the previous work, this paper has studied automatically recognizing common Chinese adverbs’ usages using statistical methods. Thre...

The paper deals with the Proto-Slavic two-part personal names reconstructed in Etymological Dictionary of Slavic Languages (EDSL), vols. 1–42. Indo-European by their origin, these retained use among all Slavs even after adoption Christianity and assimilation Christian name set. author examines set lexical units that occur proto-Slavic anthroponyms, rules design (pure basis, truncated word form)...

Non agentive’ object experiencer verbs (e.g. interest) as well as achievement verbs (e.g. find) are traditionally taken to be incompatible with oriented adverbs like cleverly. Research on large corpora disconfirms this claim. This paper accounts for the distribution of these ’weakly agentive’ verbs with dispositional adverbs (cleverly, patiently) and psychological adverbs (sadly, anxiously), fo...

In this paper we will discuss the treatment of adverbs in semantic lexica for NLP. On the basis of a semantic classification of Danish lexical time adverbs as well as a test carried out wrt. their ability to combine with different tenses and types of Aktionsart, an ontology on time adverbs is established. We will discuss which semantic characteristics exposed by the test that should be included...

We report the results of a systematic study of the feasibility of automatically classifying documents by genre using adjectives and adverbs as indicators of affective language. In addition to the class of adjectives and adverbs, we focus on two specific subsets of adjectives and adverbs: (1) trait adjectives, used by psychologists to assess human personality traits, and (2) speaker-oriented adv...

this paper attempts to indicate that the two conceptual categories of evidentiality and epistemic modality are distinct although they may look similar; thus their corresponding adverbs also consist of separate subcategories of adverbs. to attain this goal, different data were gathered both from written and spoken sources and analyzed mostly with the help of semantic considerations in the framew...

In this paper an interlingual mechanism oriented to pronominal references resolution and generation in Machine Translation (MT) systems is proposed. This mechanism is based on Slot Structure (SS) presented in [3] [2]. A comparison of pronominal references resolution both in English and in Spanish is developed to accomplish a study of the existing discrepancies between two languages. From this s...
