Ways of Crossing a Spatial Boundary in Typologically Distinct Languages
Expression of spatial motion shows wide variation as well as patterned regularities across the world’s languages (Talmy, 2000), and events involving the traversal of a spatial boundary impose the tightest typological constraints in the lexicalization of motion, providing a true test of cross-linguistic differences. Speakers of verb-framed languages are required by their language not to use mann...
متن کاملCreoles are typologically distinct from non-creoles
In creolist circles, there has been a a long-standing debate whether creoles differ structurally from non-creole languages and thus would form a special class of languages with specific typological properties. This debate about the typological status of creole languages has severely suffered from a lack of systematic empirical study. This paper presents for the first time a number of large-scal...
متن کاملAutomatic evaluation of syntactic learners in typologically-different languages
Human syntax acquisition involves a system that can learn constraints on possible word sequences in typologically-different human languages. Evaluation of computational syntax acquisition systems typically involves theory-specific or language-specific assumptions that make it difficult to compare results in multiple languages. To address this problem, a bag-of-words incremental generation (BIG)...
متن کاملA Hybrid Machine Translation System for Typologically Related Languages
This paper describes a shallow parsing formalism aiming at machine translation between closely related languages. The formalism allows to write grammar rules helping to (partially) disambiguate chunks in input sentences. The chunks are then translatred into the target language without any deep syntactic or semantic processing. A stochastic ranker then selects the best translation according to t...
متن کاملRapid Development of Morphological Analyzers for Typologically Diverse Languages
The Low Resource Language research conducted under DARPA’s Broad Operational Language Translation (BOLT) program required the rapid creation of text corpora of typologically diverse languages (Turkish, Hausa, and Uzbek) which were annotated with morphological information, along with other types of annotation. Since the output of morphological analyzers is a significant aid to morphological anno...
