Unsupervised Learning of a Chinese Spontaneous and Colloquial Speech Lexicon with Content and Filler Phrase Classification
"... Abstract. There is significant lexical difference—words and usage of words-between spontaneous/colloquial language and the written language. This difference affects the performance of spoken language recognition systems that use statistical language models or context-free-grammars because these mode ..."

these models are based on the written language rather than the spoken form. There are many filler phrases and colloquial phrases that appear solely or more often in spontaneous and colloquial speech. Chinese languages perhaps exemplify such a difference as many colloquial forms of the language
Memory retrieval effects on filler-gap processing
- In Proceedings of the 29th
, 2007
"... In this paper, I argue that the retrieval of filler-phrases in syn-tactic filler-gap dependencies is facilitated by encoding more information in the filler-phrase. Three self-paced reading ex-periments provide the evidence for this memory facilitation hypothesis: reading times decrease when more exp ..."

Heads in Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar
- Heads in Grammatical Theory
, 1993
"... Recent syntactic theory has highlighted the importance of peripheral constructions such as the comparative correlative construction. This construction involves a pair of filler-gap constructions with unusual properties, where the first is a subordinate clause and the second a main clause. The constr ..."

. The construction has a number of related constructions. A version of HPSG, which assumes hierarchies of phrase types, can provide satisfactory analyses both for the comparative correlative construction and for the related constructions. The two clauses in the construction can be analysed as non-standard head-filler
On directionality of phrase structure building
, 2013
"... Minimalism, in grammatical theorizing (Chomsky 1995) led to simpler linguistic devices and a better focalization of the core properties of the structure-building engine: a lexicon and a free (recursive) phrase formation operation, dubbed Merge, are the basic components that serve in building syntact ..."

Processing filler-gap dependencies in a head-final language
- JOURNAL OF MEMORY AND LANGUAGE
, 2004
"... This paper investigates the processing of long-distance filler-gap dependencies in Japanese, a strongly head-final language. Two self-paced reading experiments and one sentence completion study show that Japanese readers associate a fronted wh-phrase with the most deeply embedded clause of a multi-c ..."

Chart Parsing According To The Slot And Filler Principle
, 1988
"... A parser is an algorithm that assigns a structural description to a string according to a grammar. It follows from this definition that there are three general issues in parser design: the structure to be assigned, the type of grammar, the recognition algorithm. Common parsers employ phrase structur ..."

Specifying Filler-Gap Dependency Parsers in a Linear-Logic Programming Language
- Proceedings of the Joint International Conference and Symposium on Logic Programming
, 1992
"... An aspect of the Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar formalism proposed by Gazdar, et al. is the introduction of the notion of "slashed categories " to handle the parsing of structures, such as relative clauses, which involve unbounded dependencies. This has been implemented in Definite C ..."

PROSODIC PHRASING IN ELLIPTIC AND NON-ELLIPTIC COORDINATIONS
"... This paper reports a prosodic difference between elliptic and non-elliptic coordinations in German. Findings of a speech production experiment indicate that ellipsis has an effect on prosodic phrasing and that speakers avoid phrase boundaries between an elliptic gap and its filler. The data is incom ..."

Good Fillers EXP 1 EXP 2 Bad Fillers RETHINKING SUPERIORITY EFFECTS – A PROCESSING MODEL
"... ABSTRACT- We present evidence from two magnitude-estimation studies for a processing-based model of wh-dependencies (Arnon, Estigarribia, Hofmeister, Jaeger, Pettibone, Sag, & Snider, 2005). Following integrative approaches to grammar & performance (e.g. Fanselow & Frisch, 2004; Kluende ..."

; Kluender, 1998; Hawkins, 2004), the model derives preferences over linear orders of wh-phrases (e.g., (1) vs. (2)) from the associated processing cost. The model accounts for superiority effects in terms of earlier research on (a) the processing of longdistance dependencies (e.g. Gibson, 2000) and (b
Peeling Back the Layers: Detecting Event Role Fillers in Secondary Contexts

We propose a multilayered event extraction architecture that progressively “zooms in ” on relevant information. Our extraction model includes a document ge ..."
