Predicting Relative Prominence in Noun-Noun Compounds
There are several theories regarding what influences prominence assignment in English noun-noun compounds. We developed corpus-driven models for automatically predicting prominence assignment in noun-noun compounds using feature sets based on two such theories: the informativeness theory and the semantic composition theory. The evaluation of the prediction models indicate that though both of th...
متن کاملQualia Relations in Metaphorical Noun-Noun Compounds
This paper aims to find out the qualia roles involved in metaphorical noun-noun compounds in Mandarin Chinese. Metaphor concerns the resemblance between things.

A preliminary inv...

These relational possibilities are evident at a linguistic level in the syntagmatic patterns that connect nouns to the verbal actions th...
متن کاملInput driven constraints on plurals in English noun-noun compounds
Native English speakers include irregular plurals in English noun-noun compounds (e.g. mice chaser) more frequently than regular plurals (e.g. *rats chaser) (Gordon, 1985). This dissociation in inflectional morphology has been argued to stem from an internal and innate morphological constraint as it is thought that the input to which English speaking children are exposed is insufficient to sign...
