Relative Clauses In Hindi And Arabic: A Paninian Dependency Grammar Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a comparative analysis of relative clauses in Hindi and Arabic in the tradition of the Paninian Grammar Framework (Bharati et al., 1996b) which leads to deriving a common logical form for equivalent sentences. Parallels are drawn between the Hindi co-relative construction and resumptive pronouns in Arabic. The analysis arises from the development of lexicalised dependency grammars for Hindi and Arabic that have application for machine translation.

متن کاملHindi CCGbank: CCG Treebank from the Hindi Dependency Treebank
In this paper, we present an approach for automatically creating a Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) treebank from a dependency treebank for the Subject-Object-Verb language Hindi. Rather than a direct conversion from dependency trees to CCG trees, we propose a two stage approach: a language independent generic algorithm first extracts a CCG lexicon from the dependency treebank. A determinis...

In this paper, we present hybrid approaches for pronominal reference type (abstract or concrete) identification and event anaphora resolution for Hindi. Pronominal reference type identification is one of the important parts for any anaphora resolution system as it helps anaphora resolver in optimal feature selection based on pronominal reference types. We use language specific rules and feature...
