In this paper, we discuss the representation of pronouns in logical form for the purpose of handling verb phrase ellipsis. In particular, we discuss two factors which innuence the representation of pronouns in a computational model. The rst is computational, the other linguistic. Both factors must be attended to in order to construct a good representation for pronouns in logical form. We review...

The purpose of this paper is to examine the comparative construction in English and investigate into the interaction between movement and ellipsis. In particular, we argue that the comparative clause must undergo the rightwards movement of extraposition to form a coordinate-like structure with the main clause to feed the ellipsis operation of Gapping, Stripping and Pseudogapping inside the form...

Communication is an activity that always carried out by humans. In communicating, many people use ellipsis, where they omit part of the sentences use. This research aims (1) to reveal types ellipsis found in Gary Dauberman's Annabelle Comes Home and (2) classifications containing Home. The method used researchers this study was a qualitative method. data source movie. conducted using theory pro...

This paper elucidates the linguistic mechanisms for resolving ellipsis (zero anaphor). The mechanisms consist of three tiers of linguistic system. [1] Japanese sentences are structured in such a way to anchor the topic, which is predominantly the subject (by Sentence devices), [2] with argument inferring cues on the verbal predicate (by Predicate devices), and [3] are cohesively sequenced with ...

the holy koran is the eternal miracle of literature and eloquence. in the field of eloquence, ellipsis is an important issue. grammaticaltadmeen as a type of ellipsis has a special manifestation in the holy koran. tazmeen literally meaning insertion is applied when a verb in the text adds the meaning of another verb to itself and is used as the other word should be used in terms of transitivity...

In this paper, we discuss the representation of pronouns in logical form for the purpose of handling verb phrase ellipsis. In particular, we discuss two factors which influence the representation of pronouns in a computational model. The first is computational, the other linguistic.

Language comprehension requires recovering meaning from linguistic form, even when the mapping between the two is indirect. A canonical example is ellipsis, the omission of information that is subsequently understood without being overtly pronounced. Comprehension of ellipsis requires retrieval of an antecedent from memory, without prior prediction, a property which enables the study of retriev...

This paper stems from an ongoing research project ~ on verb phrase ellipsis. The project's goals are to implement a verb phrase ellipsis resolution algorithm, automatically test the algorithm on corpus data, then automatically evaluate the algorithm against human-generated answers. The paper will establish the current status of the algorithm based on this automatic evaluation, categorizing curr...

This is a book about . . . . It is a history of hesitations, interruptions and omissions in literary texts. More specifically, it is about the marks that make manifest literature’s lapses into silence. Silence has been defined as the nonsymbolic. This book demonstrates nonetheless writers’ persistent need for routine symbols that express communicative dependence on the non-verbal. The subject o...
