Integer compositions and syntactic trees

... In this paper, the psychological reality of syntactic trees and hierarchical ordering is explored from another perspective---that of the neuropsychology of language breakdown. The study reported here examined several syntactic domains that rely on different nodes in the tree

In this paper, we argue for and demonstrate the use of Prolog as a tool to query annotated corpora. We present a case study based on the German TüBa-D/Z Treebank to show that flexible and efficient corpus querying can be started with a minimal amount of effort. We end this paper with a brief discussion of performance, that suggests that the approach is both fast enough and scalable. 1

of the prosodic boundaries in the cantillation trees correspond, directly or indirectly, to the phrase boundaries of the syntactic trees we are trying to build. All the useful boundary information was then extracted to help the parser make syntactic decisions, either serving as hard constraints in rule

has been successfully applied to the permutation representation leading to a clarification and a natural unification of this domain. The relationship between search space, distances and genetic operators for syntactic trees is little understood. In this paper we apply the geometric framework

Abstract. In this paper, we provide a study on the use of tree kernels to encode syntactic parsing information in natural language learning. In particular, we propose a new convolution kernel, namely the Partial Tree (PT) kernel, to fully exploit dependency trees. We also propose an efficient

This research note reports on the work in progress which regards automatic transformation of phrase-structure syntactic trees of Arabic into dependency- -driven analytical ones. Guidelines for these descriptions have been developed at the Linguistic Data Consortium, University of Pennsylvania

Abstract. The alignment of syntactic trees is the task of aligning the internal and leaf nodes of two sentences in different languages structured as trees. The output of the alignment can be used, for instance, as knowledge resource for learning translation rules (for rule-based machine translation

, use of copula, and embedded structures are severely impaired. A retrospective examination of the literature shows that our findings are corroborated by others. A selective account of the agrammatic production deficiency is proposed, according to which only a subclass of the functional syntactic

A syntactic tree formation system is described for use in incremental sentence generators, i.e. generators which allow for parallel planning of conceptual content and linguistic expression. The system achieves full generality in the sense that (1) all forms of incremental production (upward
