This paper presents the syntactic annotation level of a project aimed at providing a small dialog corpus with multiple levels of annotation. The syntactic annotation is based on dependency syntax. We outline the reasons for choosing dependency, and show the syntactic annotation for some constructions. We finish by describing the current state of the project.

This work in progress study presents a syntactic-level analysis of gestures in communication through annotated line graphs in time domain. As distinct from the gesture analysis at discourse level, the syntactic gesture analysis is based on solely physical properties of the gestures, such as direction, size or position. The results revealed strong relationship between gestures, verbal descriptio...

The syntactic monoid of a language is generalized to the level of a symmetric monoidal closed category D. This allows for a uniform treatment of several notions of syntactic algebras known in the literature, including the syntactic monoids of Rabin and Scott (D “ sets), the syntactic semirings of Polák (D “ semilattices), and the syntactic associative algebras of Reutenauer (D = vector spaces)....

We present a case study on the role of syntactic structures towards resolving the Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) task. Although various approaches have been proposed, the research of using syntactic information to determine the semantic similarity is a relatively under-researched area. At the level of syntactic structure, it is not clear how significant the syntactic structure contributes to...

Syntactic structure is defined in its three components. A survey of prosodist's studies on the relationship between prosody and syntax brings out two major trends: those who think that syntactic structure is immaterial for intonation and those who argue for matching rules between syntax and prosody. The recent studies presented here lend weight to a syntactic-based approach to accounting for in...
