This study presents a comparison between syntactic and prosodic phrasing. A parser is used to calculate the syntactic structures from the orthographic text the prosodic structures of which are given by means of ToBI label files. For the automatic evaluation the prosodic break indices "3" (intermediate phrase boundary) and "4" (intonation phrase boundary) are compared with the terminals extracte...

In this paper, we describe some consonantal and prosodic influences on vowel duration in Korean. In particular, the effect of different obstruents on the duration of following vowels was examined. With a large set of artificial utterances recorded by a single speaker, we studied four factors on vowel duration: the pre-vocalic context, the post-vocalic context, clause-final lengthening and phras...

Phrase-based translation models, with sequences of words (phrases) as translation units, achieve state-of-the-art translation performance. However, phrase reordering is a major challenge for this model. Recently, researchers have focused on utilizing syntax to improve phrase reordering. In adding syntactic knowledge into phrase reordering model, using handcrafted or probabilistic syntactic rule...

Tense is a small element to a sentence, however, error tense can raise odd grammars and result in misunderstanding. Recently, tense has drawn attention in many natural language processing applications. However, most of current Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) systems mainly depend on translation model and language model. They never consider and make full use of tense information. In this p...

objectives: word definitional skills (wdss) were classified according to the quality of both semantic content and syntactic form. the aim of the present study was to investigate the syntactic development in wdss in typically developing school- age children. methods: in this cross-sectional and descriptive-analytical study,  150 of typically developing school-age children participated by the  mu...

This study is about Syntactic Structure of Coordination on the English Translation Surah Al-Mulk. The purposes this research are to find out types constituents form syntactic structure coordination Al-Mulk and explain distribution data formed as sentences having Method in analyzed by using descriptive qualitative method. To collect data, writer used documentation steps analyze reading, collecti...

This study tested whether an Intermediate Phrase (ip) right boundary is interpreted by French listeners as cueing a major syntactic break (e.g. NounPhrase/Verb Phrase break) or also a weaker syntactic break (e.g. Noun Phrase internal boundary). Pairs of Noun Phrases, whose segmental structure was identical up to the sixth syllable, but differing in the potential placement of either an Accentual...

Structured syntactic knowledge is important for phrase reordering. This paper proposes using convolution tree kernel over source parse tree to model structured syntactic knowledge for BTG-based phrase reordering in the context of statistical machine translation. Our study reveals that the structured syntactic features over the source phrases are very effective for BTG constraint-based phrase re...

the concept of tense is an important issue in the morphological and syntactic analysis of words and sentences. the connection between this concept and other parts of the sentence, including the verb, and understanding its structural, semantic and conceptual differences has always been considered by russian and persian linguists. in this article, various types of direct and figurative applicatio...
