The article analyzes the role of presupposition in the compound-complex sentence. The authors examine the types of presuppositions and minimal compound-complex sentence as a field of presuppositions action. The analysis of these types of sentences by the material of the English language shows that several kinds of presuppositions are realized in them – contact or distant, - developing in the re...

Native speakers of a language find some sentences more difficult to understand than others. The sources of difficulty vary: some are lexical (e.g., the use of unknown words), some are due to the lack of contextual information (e.g., no shared knowledge), and some are due to structural complexity. Here we will focus on the difficulties caused by one kind of structural complexity, center embeddin...

the problem of the hermeneutical circle is one of the contentious issues in philosophical hermeneutics. this paper, begins with focusing on the question as to whether what hermeneuts mean by a hermeneutical circle is in fact a real circle with no analogical sense involved. recognizing that this problem is not confined to the relation between part and whole, this study confines itself to explore...

So far, most Chinese natural language processing neglects the punctuations or oversimplifies their functions. To improve the efficiency of Chinese similarity computing, this paper gives a Chinese similarity computing system model in accordance with the problems of Chinese sentence similarity computation aspect. This model is a combination of punctuations and traditional similarity computing. Co...

To overcome the limit of the conventional machine translation (MT) method based on compositional semantics, we proposed an Analogical Mapping (AM) method based on Semantic Typology and built a semantic category system for Japanese compound and complex sentences. The AM-method maps linguistic expressions into other expressions with the same meaning with semantic categorization (based on concepts...

This paper represents the procedure of building syntactic knowledge base. This study is to construct basic sentence pattern automatically by using the POS-tagged corpus in balanced KAIST corpus, and electronic dictionary for Korean, and to construct syntactic knowledge base with specific information added to the lexicographer's analysis. The summary of work process will be as follows: 1) Extrac...
