Sentences with Two Subordinate Clauses: Syntactic and Semantic Analyses, Underspecified Semantic Representation
نویسنده
چکیده
I show that sentences with two subordinate clauses may receive two syntactic analyses, and that each syntactic analysis may receive two semantic interpretations. Hence, I put forward an underspecified semantic representation such that each syntactic analysis receives only one underspecified interpretation.

Automatic identification of words with semantic roles (such as Agent, Patient, Source, etc.) in sentences and attaching correct semantic roles to them, may lead to improvement in many natural language processing tasks including information extraction, question answering, text summarization and machine translation. Semantic role labeling systems usually take advantage of syntactic parsing and th...
متن کاملSemantic Priming Effect on Relative Clause Attachment Ambiguity Resolution in L2
This study examined whether processing ambiguous sentences containing relative clauses (RCs) following a complex determiner phrase (DP) by Persian-speaking learners of L2 English with different proficiency and working memory capacities (WMCs) is affected by semantic priming. The semantic relationship studied was one between the subject/verb of the main clause and one of the DPs in the complex D...
متن کاملDiscourse structure and parallelism in VP ellipsis
Sentences containing VP ellipsis (VPE) must find a matching antecedent VP for the elided VP. This is a condition associated with recoverability: when a VP-gap is encountered, a VP representation from the preceding context must be copied into the empty VP position for the sentence to be interpreted. What kind of representation this is has long been debated— syntactic identity [1-3] has been argu...
متن کاملEfficient Construction of Underspecified Semantics under Massive Ambiguity
We investigate the problem of determining a compact underspecified semantical representation for sentences that may be highly ambiguous. Due to combinatorial explosion, the naive method of building semantics for the different syntactic readings independently is prohibitive. We present a method that takes as input a syntactic parse forest with associated constraintbased semantic construction rul...
متن کاملEffects of prosodic boundaries on ambiguous syntactic clause boundaries in Japanese
We report the results of experiments designed to investigate the effects of prosodic boundaries on resolving ambiguous syntactic clause boundaries in Japanese. The head-final, prodrop nature of this language generates abundant syntactic attachment ambiguity for sentences that contain relative clauses. Two types of sentences with differing head nouns modified by relative clauses were examined. S...
