See =-=Abney 1987-=- for arguments. aThere is one case that this definition does not handle. We wish to say that a pronoun that heads a prepositional phrase is a major head, despite being a function word, not a content w...

It is unclear whether this phrase is a projection of the noun boy, making it a noun phrase, or the projection of the determiner the, making it a determiner phrase =-=[1]-=-. With no clear picture of the correct structure of sentences, how can we hope to make progress toward a system capable of learning the information necessary to assign structural descriptions?

The research of the last four decades suggests strongly that abstract laws of significant generality underlie much of the superficial complexity of human language. Evidence in favor of this conjecture comes from two different types of facts. First, there are cross-linguistic facts. Investigation of unfamiliar and typologically diverse languages is regularly illuminated by what we already know about other

This book deals with the semantics of natural language expressions that are commonly taken to refer to individuals: pronouns, definite descriptions and proper names. It claims, contrary to previous theorizing, that they all have a common syntax and semantics, roughly that which is currently associated by philosophers and linguists with definite descriptions as construed in the tradition of Frege. As well as advancing this proposal, I hope to achieve at least one other aim, that of urging semanticists dealing with pronoun interpretation, in particular donkey anaphora, to consider a wider range of theories at all times than is sometimes done at present. I am thinking particularly of the gulf that seems to have emerged between those who practice some version of dynamic semantics (including DRT) and those who eschew this approach and rely on some version of the E-type analysis for donkey anaphora (if they consider this phenomenon at all). In my opinion there is too little work directly comparing the claims of these two schools (for that is what they amount to) and testing them against the data in the way that any two rival theories might be tested. (Irene Heim’s 1990 article in Linguistics and Philosophy does this, and

m we can carve o# next. `Partial parsing' is a cover term for a range of di#erent techniques for recovering some but not all of the information contained in a traditional syntactic analysis. Partial parsing techniques, like tagging techniques, aim for reliability and robustness in the face of the vagaries of natural text, by sacrificing completeness of analysis and accepting a low but non-zero error rate. 1 Tagging The earliest taggers [35, 51] had large sets of hand-constructed rules for assigning tags on the basis of words' character patterns and on the basis of the tags assigned to preceding or following words, but they had only small lexica, primarily for exceptions to the rules. TAGGIT [35] was used to generate an initial tagging of the Brown corpus, which was then hand-edited. (Thus it provided the data that has since been used to train other taggers [20].) The tagger described by Garside [56, 34], CLAWS, was a probabilistic version of TAGGIT, and the DeRose tagger improved on

Phonological and acoustic bases for earliest grammatical category assignment: a cross-linguistic perspective

Maternal infant-directed speech in Mandarin Chinese and Turkish (two mother–child dyads each; ages of children between 0;11 and 1;8) was examined to see if cues exist in input that might assist infants’ assignment of words to lexical and functional item categories. Distributional, phonological, and acoustic measures were analysed. In each language, lexical and functional items (i.e. syllabic morphemes) differed significantly on numerous measures. Despite differences in mean values between categories, distributions of values typically displayed substantial overlap. However, simulations with self-organizing neural networks supported the conclusion that although individual dimensions had low cue validity, in each language multidimensional constellations of presyntactic cues are sufficient to guide assignment of words to rudimentary grammatical categories.
