the purpose of this research is to analyze differential adpositional case marking (dacm) in vafsi within ot framework by using the generalization of aissen’s (2003) differential object marking (dom) model. while bossong (1985) has traced dom in more than 300 languages, dacm has not been investigated typologically, yet. dacm, as a branch of differential case marking (dcm), questions the effect o...

We compare two annotation styles, Prague dependencies and Universal Stanford Dependencies, in their adequacy for parsing. We specifically focus on comparing the adposition attachment style, used in these two formalisms, applied in multisource cross-lingual delexicalized dependency parser transfer performed by parse tree combination. We show that in our setting, converting the adposition annotat...

From the perspective of linguistic typology, this paper investigates and analyzes types adposition in 38 minority languages their conjunctive use with location words, attempts to summarize relationship between basic word order, adposition, order words different languages. Then, it seeks motives that restrict finally external combination such circumpositions (Prep + Noun Location Words) Chinese.

Natural languages (NL) can be classified as prepositional or postpositional based on the order of the noun phrase and the adposition. Categorizing a language by its adposition typology helps in addressing several challenges in linguistics and natural language processing (NLP). Understanding the adposition typologies for less-studied languages by manual analysis of large text corpora can be quit...

A case can be made, as in Zwarts (1997), that all adpositions (preand postpositions) are nonlexical elements: adpositions form a closed class, they are often grammaticalized nouns or verbs, and they generally serve to link constituents (turning a noun phrase into a complement or adjunct). But unlike true functional elements, adpositions are generally not without referential content — albeit tha...
