Signalling Elaboration: Combining Gerund Clauses with Lexical Cues
In this paper, we aim at automatically identifying Elaboration. This relation is particularly difficult to spot since it does not have prototypical markers. Our approach focuses on an ambiguous syntactic pattern, the gerund clause, combined with lexical cues. This approach allows us to detect few but accurate cases of inner sentence Elaborations in our corpus, validating the fact that lexical c...
متن کاملExploiting naive vs expert discourse annotations: an experiment using lexical cohesion to predict Elaboration / Entity-Elaboration confusions
This paper brings a contribution to the field of discourse annotation of corpora. Using ANNODIS, a french corpus annotated with discourse relations by naive and expert annotators, we focus on two of them, Elaboration and Entity-Elaboration. These two very frequent relations are (a) often confused by naive annotators (b) difficult to detect automatically as their signalling is poorly studied. We...
متن کاملA probabilistic segment model combining lexical cohesion and disruption for topic segmentation (Un modèle segmental probabiliste combinant cohésion lexicale et rupture lexicale pour la segmentation thématique) [in French]
A probabilistic segment model combining lexical cohesion and disruption for topic segmentation Identifying topical structure in any text-like data is a challenging task. Most existing techniques rely either on maximizing a measure of the lexical cohesion or on detecting lexical disruptions. A novel method combining the two criteria so as to obtain the best trade-off between cohesion and disrupt...
متن کاملLexical Cohesion and Literariness in Malcolm X's " The Ballot or the Bullet"
This paper unearths the contribution of lexical cohesion to the textuality and overall meaning of Malcolm X’s speech 'The Ballot or the Bullet'. Drawing on Halliday and Hasan’s (1976) and Hoey’s (1991) theory of cohesion, specifically lexical cohesion, whose main thrust is the role of lexical items in not only contributing to meaning but also serving as cohesive ties, the paper discusses how ...
متن کاملUsing a Meta-Grammar for LTAG Korean Grammar
Generating elementary trees for wide-coverage Lexicalized Tree Adjoining Grammars (LTAG) is one of the great concerns in the TAG project. We know that the Korean LTAG developed in (Han C.-H. et al., 2000) was not sufficient to handle various syntactic structures. Therefore, a Korean Meta-Grammar (KMG) is proposed to generate and maintain a large number of elementary tree schemata. Describing Ko...
