Case Checking in Verbless Sentences Functioning as Embedded Clauses in Modern Standard Arabic: A Minimalist Account

Subsymbolic Case-Role Analysis of Sentences with Embedded Clauses y

A distributed neural network model called SPEC for processing sentences with recursive relative clauses is described. The model is based on separating the tasks of segmenting the input word sequence into clauses, forming the case-role representations, and keeping track of the recursive embeddings into di erent modules. The system needs to be trained only with the basic sentence constructs, and ...

Subsymbolic Case-Role Analysis of Sentences With Embedded Clauses

A distributed neural network model called SPEC for processing sentences with recursive relative clauses is described. The model is based on separating the tasks of segmenting the input word sequence into clauses, forming the case-role representations, and keeping track of the recursive embeddings into different modules. The system needs to be trained only with the basic sentence constructs, and...

Verbless Clauses: Revealing the Structure within

In direct contrast to their frequency amongst the world's languages, verbless constructions, such as those illustrated in the following examples (taken from Stassen 1997:62-63), have received relatively little attention in the lfg literature.

Building A Modern Standard Arabic Corpus

Language Engineering, including Information Retrieval, Machine Translation and other Natural Language-related disciplines, is showing in recent years more interest in the Arabic language. Suitable resources for Arabic are becoming a vital necessity for the progress of this research. Until recently, only two Arabic corpora were commonly available for researchers: the AFP Arabic newswire from LDC...
