A Lexical Analysis Tool with Ambiguity Support
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lexical ambiguities naturally arise in languages. We present Lamb, a lexical analyzer that produces a lexical analysis graph describing all the possible sequences of tokens that can be found within the input string. Parsers can process such lexical analysis graphs and discard any sequence of tokens that does not produce a valid syntactic sentence, therefore performing, together with Lamb, a context-sensitive lexical analysis in lexically-ambiguous language specifications.

Gesture and its impact of resolving lexical ambiguity
The study aimed to shed light on the use of gesture in resolving lexical ambiguity employed by TEFL students. To this end, 60 intermediate Iranian learners, studying at Kish Way Language School in Iran were recruited. The participants were randomly put into two experimental groups and one control group. Both of the experimental groups received the same teaching approach, i.e. teaching homonyms ...
متن کاملOn the control/raising ambiguity with aspectual verbs: a structural account
Since Perlmutter (1968, 1970) argued that English aspectual verbs are ambiguous between control and raising, the phenomenon has been argued or assumed to exist in a number of other languages, such as French (Lamiroy 1987, Ruwet 1991), German (Wurmbrand 2001), Greek (Alexiadou & Anagnostopoulou 1999), Hebrew (Landau 2003), Italian (Rizzi 1982, Burzio 1986), Japanese (Shibatani 1973, 1978, Kuno 1...
متن کاملAccessing lexical ambiguities during sentence comprehension: Effects of frequency of meaning and contextual bias
Two hypotheses concerning the nature of lexical access, the exhaustive access and the terminating ordered search hypotheses, were examined in two separate studies using a cross modal lexical priming task. In this task, subjects listened to sentences that were biased toward either the primary interpretation (a meaning occurring 75% or more of the time) or a secondary interpretation (a meaning oc...
متن کاملLexical Ambiguity in Cross-language Image Retrieval: a Preliminary Analysis
In this paper we calculate and analyse the lexical ambiguity of queries in a crosslingual Image Retrieval (Flickling) and compare it with the results obtained by users. We want to know to what extent the lexical ambiguity of a query influences the correct localization of an image in a multilingual framework. With this, our final objective is to determine the necessity of Word Sense Disambiguati...
متن کاملThe Interaction of Syntactic and Lexical Information Sources in Language Processing: The Case of the Noun-verb Ambiguity*
This paper reports the results of a lexical decision experiment and a selfpaced reading experiment that investigate the interaction between syntactic and lexical information in on-line language processing, using the noun-verb ambiguity in English. The results of both experiments provide support for the hypothesis whereby syntactic and lexical information are two independent factors in the proce...
