German is a language with a relatively free word order. During the last few years considerable efforts have been made in all syntactic frameworks to explain so-called scrambling phenomena. In …...

"Prose rhythm" is a widely observed but scarcely quantified phenomenon. We de- scribe an information-theoretic model for measuring the regularity of lexical stress in English texts, and use it in …...

This paper proposes decoupling the dependency tree from word order, such that surface ordering is not determined by traversing the dependency tree. We develop the notion of a word order …...

We extend Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) with a generalized notion of multi- dimensional sign, inspired by the types of rep- resentations found in constraint-based frame- works like HPSG or LFG. …...

Like speakers of any natural language, speakers of English potentially have many different word orders in which to encode a single meaning. One key fac- tor in speakers’ use of …...

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 simple evaluation metric for MT which attempts to overcome the well-known deficits of the standard BLEU metric from a slightly different an- gle. It employes Levenshtein’s …...

AbstractStatistical machine translation to morphologically richer languages is a challenging task and more so if the source and target languages differ in word order. Current state-of-the-art MT systems thus deliver …...

. Models of word meaning, built from a corpus of text, have demonstrated success in emulating human performance on a number of cognitive tasks. Many of these models use geometric …...

AbstractWe present a part of broader research on word order aiming at finding factors influencing word order in Czech (i.e. in an inflectional language) and their intensity. The main aim …...

One of the most common features across all known languages is their variability in word order. We show that differences in the prenominal and postnominal place- ment of adjectives in …...

AbstractIn this paper we describe and evaluate syntactic and semantic aspects of Arbobanko, a treebank for the artificial language Esperanto, as well as tools and methods used in the production …...

AbstractIn this paper, we introduce the SORTS Subject-Object Resolution Test Suite of German minimal sentence pairs for model introspection. The full test suite consists of 18,502 transitive clauses with manual …...

AbstractThe advancement of the web and information technology has contributed to the rapid growth of digital libraries and automatic machine translation tools which easily translate texts from one language into …...

Do state-of-the-art natural language under- standing models care about word order? Not always! We found 75% to 90% of the correct predictions of BERT-based classifiers, trained on many GLUE tasks, …...

AbstractPretrained contextualized language models such as BERT and T5 have established a new state-of-the-art for ad-hoc search. However, it is not yet well understood why these methods are so effective, …...

AbstractWe present a grammar inference system that leverages linguistic knowledge recorded in the form of annotations in interlinear glossed text (IGT) and in a meta-grammar engineering system (the LinGO Grammar …...

AbstractWord order choices during sentence production can be primed by preceding sentences. In this work, we test the DUAL MECHANISM hypothesis that priming is driven by multiple different sources. Using …...
