چکیده

Morphosyntactic disambiguation is a crucial pre-processing step for the recognition of grammatical functions in morphologically rich languages like German and heavily nominalized domains like law texts. This paper explores how far linguistically motivated hard rules can contribute to morphosyntactic disambiguation. It introduces an incremental system that is capable of reducing the rate of morphosyntactically ambiguous nouns in sentences from German-language law texts from 91.12% to 32.31%. The evaluation indicates that disambiguation rules based on feature unification within complex sub-clausal structures such as noun phrase coordinations and participle phrases have the most impact on the reduction of morphosyntactic ambiguity.

Verbal Morphosyntactic Disambiguation through Topological Field Recognition in German-Language Law Texts

The morphosyntactic disambiguation of verbs is a crucial pre-processing step for the syntactic analysis of morphologically rich languages like German and domains with complex clause structures like law texts. This paper explores how much linguistically motivated rules can contribute to the task. It introduces an incremental system of verbal morphosyntactic disambiguation that exploits the conce...

Effects of morphosyntactic gender features in bilingual language processing

A central issue in bilingual research concerns the extent to which linguistic representations in the two languages are processed independently of each other. This paper reports the results of an empirical study and a model stimulation, which provide evidence for the interactive view, which holds that processing is not independent. Specifically, a reading experiment examined whether morpho-synta...

Combining Morphosyntactic Enriched Representation with n-best Reranking in Statistical Translation

The purpose of this work is to explore the integration of morphosyntactic information into the translation model itself, by enriching words with their morphosyntactic categories. We investigate word disambiguation using morphosyntactic categories, n-best hypotheses reranking, and the combination of both methods with word or morphosyntactic n-gram language model reranking. Experiments are carrie...

Identification of High-Frequency Morphosyntactic Structures in Persian-Speaking Children Aged 4-6 Years: A Qualitative Research

Background: Syntax has a high importance among linguistic parameters and the prevalence of syntax deficits is relatively high in children with language disorders. As such, independent examination of syntax in language development is of paramount importance. In this regard, Iranian language pathologists are faced with the lack of standardized tests. The present study aimed to determine the most ...
