Grammatical Relations

This work concerns integration between syntax and semantics. Syntactic and semantic activities rely on separate bodies of knowledges. Integration is obtained by exploiting the isomorphism between grammatical relations (among immediate …...

Semantic feedback is an important source of informa- tion that a parser could use to deal with local ambigu- ities in syntax. However, it is difficult to devise a sys- …...

In this paper we present an evalua- tion of overlap-based measures of sim- ilarity for sentences in the same lan- guage. The measures include syntactic and semantic information, and to …...

We use the grammatical re- lations (GRs) described in Carroll et al. (1998) to compare a number of parsing algorithms A first ranking of the parsers is provided by comparing …...

This paper describes a novel system for acquiring adjectival subcategorization frames (SCFs) and associated frequency information from English corpus data. The system incorporates a decision-tree classifier for 30 SCF types …...

To facilitate the use of syntactic infor- mation in the study of child language acquisition, a coding scheme for Gram- matical Relations (GRs) in transcripts of parent-child dialogs has been …...

It has been argued by LaPolla (1993, 1995) and Van Valin and LaPolla (1997) -- among others -- that word order in Mandarin Chinese (henceforth MC) is (almost) exclusively determined …...

. This paper describes a preliminary effort in identifying many different types of relations among words in Thai sentences based on dependency grammar. The relation is represented as a triple …...

AbstractRevisiting the now de facto standard Stanford dependency representation, we propose an improved taxonomy to capture grammatical relations across languages, including morphologically rich ones. We suggest a two-layered taxonomy: a …...

AbstractMultilingual BERT (mBERT) has demonstrated considerable cross-lingual syntactic ability, whereby it enables effective zero-shot cross-lingual transfer of syntactic knowledge. The transfer is more successful between some languages, but it is …...
