Computational dialectology in Irish Gaelic
Dialect groupings can be discovered objectively and automatically by cluster analysis of phonetic transcriptions such as those found in a linguistic atlas. The first step in the analysis, the…

Using a Corpus for Teaching Turkish Morphology
This paper reports on the preliminary phase of our ongoing research towards developing an intelligent tutoring environment for Turkish grammar. One of the components of this environment is a corpus…

Multilingual Sentence Categorization according to Language
In this paper, we describe an approach to sentence categorization which has the originality to be based on natural properties of languages with no training set dependency. The implementation is fast,…

Implementation and evaluation of a German HMM for POS disambiguation
A German language model for the Xerox HMM tagger is presented. This model's performance is compared with two other German taggers with partial parameter re-estimation and full adaption of…

A State-Transition Grammar for Data-Oriented Parsing
This paper presents a grammar formalism designed for use in data-oriented approaches to language processing. The formalism is best described as a right-linear indexed grammar extended in…

Literal Movement Grammars
Literal movement grammars (LMGs) provide a general account of extraposition phenomena through an attribute mechanism allowing top-down displacement of syntactical information. LMGs provide a simple…

Incorporating "Unconscious Reanalysis" into an Incremental, Monotonic Parser
This paper describes an implementation based on a recent model in the psycholinguistic literature. We define a parsing operation which allows the reanalysis of dependencies within an incremental and…

An Algorithm to Co-Ordinate Anaphora Resolution and PPS Disambiguation Process
This paper concerns both anaphora resolution and prepositional phrase (PP) attachment that are the most frequent ambiguities in natural language processing. Several methods have been proposed to deal…

Cooperative Error Handling and Shallow Processing
This paper is concerned with the detection and correction of sub-sentential English text errors. Previous spelling programs, unless restricted to a very small set of words, have operated as…

Bi-directional memory-based dialog translation: The KEMDT approach
A bi-directional Korean/English dialog translation system is designed and implemented using the memory-based translation technique. The system KEMDT (Korean/English Memory-based Dialog Translation…

Topic Identification in Discourse
This paper proposes a corpus-based language model for topic identification. We analyze the association of noun-noun and noun-verb pairs in LOB Corpus. The word association norms are based on three…

Lexical Acquisition via Constraint Solving
This paper describes a method to automatically acquire the syntactic and semantic classifications of unknown words. Our method reduces the search space of the lexical acquisition problem by utilizing…

On Reasoning with Ambiguities
The paper adresses the problem of reasoning with ambiguities. Semantic representations are presented that leave scope relations between quantifiers and/or other operators unspecified. Truth…

A Robust Parser Based on Syntactic Information
In this paper, we propose a robust parser which can parse extragrammatical sentences. This parser can recover them using only syntactic information. It can be easily modified and extended because it…

Towards an Account of Extraposition in HPSG
This paper investigates the syntax of extraposition in the HPSG framework. We present English and German data (partly taken from corpora), and provide an analysis using lexical rules and a nonlocal…

Principle Based Semantics for HPSG
The paper presents a constraint based semantic formalism for HPSG. The syntax-semantics interface directly implements syntactic conditions on quantifier scoping and distributivity. The construction…
