The paper focuses on the issues of language structures disambiguation in machine translation.The moodel for establishing semantic content of syntactic structures in the English and Russian languages is proposed. Particular attention is given to syntactic polysemy and ambiguity, and the mechanisms of disambiguation. The phenomenon of syntactic polysemy determines the possible multiple transfer s...

We present a model of coordination within Interaction Grammars. The notion of polarity lets us define the interface of a syntactic structure as its capacity to combine with other syntactic structures in terms of requirements and resources. The coordination of two conjuncts is then viewed as the superposition of their syntactic structure interfaces. Those structures are represented by means of t...

We develop and evaluate a preliminary belief-updating model which links intermediate-term (i.e., over several days) syntactic adaptation to the joint statistics of syntactic structures and lexical cues to those structures. This model shows how subjects differentially depend on different cues to syntactic structure following changes in the reliability of those cues, as shown by Fine and Jaeger (...

This paper introduces , an XML format developed to serialise the object model defined by the ISO Syntactic Annotation Framework SynAF. Based on widespread best practices we adapt a popular XML format for syntactic annotation, TigerXML, with additional features to support a variety of syntactic phenomena including constituent and dependency structures, binding, and different node types ...

In this paper, we propose innovative representations for automatic classification of verbs according to mainstream linguistic theories, namely VerbNet and FrameNet. First, syntactic and semantic structures capturing essential lexical and syntactic properties of verbs are defined. Then, we design advanced similarity functions between such structures, i.e., semantic tree kernel functions, for exp...

We present a named entity recognition system that relies on interpreting the meaning of the syntactic structures that define named entities. The syntactic heads of the defining structures are learned from the training data and are later used to interpret the meaning of the syntactic structures in the test data. Semantic features are extracted based on the interpretations and are used to build a...

“Deep-syntactic” dependency structures that capture the argumentative, attributive and coordinative relations between full words of a sentence have a great potential for a number of NLPapplications. The abstraction degree of these structures is in-between the output of a syntactic dependency parser (connected trees defined over all words of a sentence and language-specific grammatical functions...

The morphophonemic (/i/) in the Central Kurdish dialect of language, (Phonetic, Phonological, Morphological, and Syntactic) structures appear as same form, but they are different their structures. This research is conducted on (analytical- descriptive) method, aome equivalent forms analyzed based principles generative school. For purpose presenting examples, along with phonemic alphabet, intern...

Speakers sometimes repeat syntactic structures across sentences, a phenomenon called syntactic priming. We investigated the influence of verb-bound syntactic preferences on syntactic priming effects in response choices and response latencies for German ditransitive sentences. In the response choices we found inverse preference effects: There were stronger syntactic priming effects for primes in...
