Construction of a Bilingual Dictionary Intermediated by a Third Language
When using a third language to construct a bilingual dictionary, it is necessary to discriminate equivalencies from inappropriate words derived as a result of ambiguity in the third language. We…

Concurrent Lexicalized Dependency Parsing: A Behavioral View on ParseTalk Events
The behavioral specification of an object-oriented grammar model is considered. The model is based on full lexicalization, head-orientation via valency constraints and dependency relations,…

Part-of-Speech Tagging with Neural Networks
Text corpora which are tagged with part-of-speech information are useful in many areas of linguistic research. In this paper, a new part-of-speech tagging method based on neural networks (Net-…

Concurrent Lexicalized Dependency Parsing: The ParseTalk Model
A grammar model for concurrent, object-oriented natural language parsing is introduced. Complete lexical distribution of grammatical knowledge is achieved building upon the head-oriented notions of…

Dutch Cross Serial Dependencies in HPSG
We present an analysis of Dutch cross serial dependencies in Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar. Arguably, our analysis differs from other analyses in that we do not refer to `additional'…

Does Baum-Welch Re-estimation Help Taggers?
In part of speech tagging by Hidden Markov Model, a statistical model is used to assign grammatical categories to words in a text. Early work in the field relied on a corpus which had been tagged by…

Lexicalization and Grammar Development
In this paper we present a fully lexicalized grammar formalism as a particularly attractive framework for the specification of natural language grammars. We discuss in detail Feature-based,…

Automatic Error Detection in Part of Speech Tagging
A technique for detecting errors made by Hidden Markov Model taggers is described, based on comparing observable values of the tagging process with a threshold. The resulting approach allows the…

A Formal Look at Dependency Grammars and Phrase-Structure Grammars, with Special Consideration of Word-Order Phenomena
The central role of the lexicon in Meaning-Text Theory (MTT) and other dependency-based linguistic theories cannot be replicated in linguistic theories based on context-free grammars (CFGs). We…
