Noun Ellipsis without Empty Categories
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present an analysis of noun phrases with elided nouns that dispenses with the positing of empty categories and preserves the NP structure assumed for NPs with overt nouns, modulo the absence of the head noun. On a par with traceless analyses of long distance dependencies, this is proposed as a further step towards a more lean theory of grammar, without phonetically null items.

Generating Elliptic Coordination
In this paper, we focus on the task of generating elliptic sentences. We extract from the data provided by the Surface Realisation (SR) Task (Belz et al., 2011) 2398 input whose corresponding output sentence contain an ellipsis. We show that 9% of the data contains an ellipsis and that both coverage and BLEU score markedly decrease for elliptic input (from 82.3% coverage for non-elliptic senten...
متن کاملUser Modelling in Anaphora Generation: Ellipsis and Definite Description
This paper shows how user modelling can improve the anaphoric utterances generated by a dialogue system. Two kinds of anaphora are examined: contextual ellipsis and the anaphoric use of singular definite noun phrases. In connection with ellipsis generation, anticipation of the way in which the user would be likely to reconstruct a given utterance can help to ensure that the system's utterances ...

Following is the set of rules used for Hebrew in order to automatically generate the SW set for every morphological analysis in Hebrew. Note that in case an analysis includes a particular attached particle, this particle is also attached to each of its similar words: 1. A deenite form of a noun { the SW set includes the indeenite form of the same noun. 2. An indeenite form of a noun { the deeni...

This paper proposes how to extend Pappi, a principles and parameters parser which can currently parse ten languages based on the same core grammar, to handle nominalization constructions in Mandarin Chinese by deliberately revising the periphery file without affecting the other languages. There are four categories of nominalizations: relative clauses with a head noun as an adjunct, relative cla...
متن کاملA Generalized Reconstruction Algorithm For Ellipsis Resolution
We present an algorithm which assigns interpretations to several major types of ellipsis structures through a generalized procedure of syntactic reconstruction. Ellipsis structures are taken to be sequences of lexically realized arguments and/or adjuncts of an empty verbal head. Reconstruction is characterized as the specification of a (partial) correspondence relation between the unrealized he...
