To conc...

The paper is focused on self-contained linguistic problems based on text corpora. We argue that corpus-based problems differ from traditional linguistic problems because they make it possible to represent language variation. Furthermore, they often require basic statistical thinking from the students. The practical value of using data obtained from text corpora for teaching linguistics through ...

painting and art criticism are based on two different semiotic systems. the expression in painting is basically visual and in criticism is verbal. on the other hand, all expression is linguistic, that is expression and comprehension in all semiotic systems is basically linguistic. the art criticism, then, is situated between two poles: visual signs and verbal signs. it has as function to reorga...

While neural networks have been employed to handle several different text-to-speech tasks, ours is the first system to use neural networks throughout, for both linguistic and acoustic processing. We divide the text-to-speech task into three subtasks, a linguistic module mapping from text to a linguistic representation, an acoustic module mapping from the linguistic representation to speech, and...

This paper describes the development of a relational discourse parsing architecture for text documents of a complex text type, namely scientific articles. To achieve this goal, several different linguistic knowledge sources and auxiliary analyses on different linguistic levels are necessary.

Given a text in two languages, word alignment task consists of identifying in the two variants of the text specific word occurrences that are mutual translations. The majority of existing text alignment systems follow either a linguistic or a statistical approach. We argue for that both approaches are insufficient when used separately, and suggest a flexible algorithm that combines statistical ...

form-centered reading is a trend which has existed among muslim critics long ago and been reflected further as “formalist” in modern era. such type of view about a textinvestigates it as a linguistic innovation. from formalists' point of view, a literary text contains a fundamental elementcalled text literature which a literate can achieve it through different mechanisms which itself gives...

We have implemented a Japanese text processing system, combining the existing parser and dictionary with the linguistic resources that we developed based on systemic functional linguistics. In this paper, we explain the text understanding algorithm of our system that utilizes the various linguistic resources in the Semiotic Base suggested by Halliday. First, we describe the structure of the SB ...

This pal)or presents a linguistic model for language understanding and describes its application to an experimental machine translation system called LUTE. The language understanding model is an interactive model between the memory structure and a text. The memory structure is hierarchical and represented in a frame-network. Linguistic and non-linguistic knowledge is stored and the result of un...
