Processing of Quantitative Expressions with Measurement Units in the Nominative, Genitive, and Accusative Cases for Belarusian and Russian

چکیده
This paper outlines an approach to the stage-by-stage solution of the computer-linguistic problem of the processing of quantitative expressions with measurement units by means of the linguistic processor NooJ. The focus is put on the nominative, genitive, and accusative cases for Belarusian and Russian. The paper gives a general analysis of the problem providing examples not only for Belarusian and Russian, but also for English.

Mechanism of Case Processing in the Brain: An fMRI Study
In sentence comprehension research, the case system, which is one of the subsystems of the language processing system, has been assumed to play a crucial role in signifying relationships in sentences between noun phrases (NPs) and other elements, such as verbs, prepositions, nouns, and tense. However, so far, less attention has been paid to the question of how cases are processed in our brain. ...
متن کاملStacking ” and the Structural / Inherent Case Distinction
It seems to be cross-linguistically fairly common for morphology added to DPs that are already inflected for Case to interact in different ways with structural and inherent case morphology. Such morphology is often required to replace structural case morphemes, while DPs with inherent case either cannot receive the morphology at all or simply add it on top of the existing inherent case morpheme...
متن کاملExistential Sentences, Be, and the Genitive of Negation in Russian
The Genitive of Negation (Gen Neg) in Russian involves alternation of Genitive with Nominative or Accusative under conditions which have been debated for many decades. What gives the construction its name is that Gen Neg occurs only under sentential negation; other allegedly crucial factors include topic-focus structure, unaccusativity, perspectival structure, the lexical semantics of the verb,...
متن کاملRussian Genitive Plurals are Impostors
(1) a. Inflectional paradigms aspire to “avoid homophony”. The Russian nominative singular and genitive plural endings reflect a transderivational attempt to minimize homophony across inflectional endings. b. Inflectional paradigms require transderivational reference: one cannot compute the Russian genitive plural without knowing what the nominative singular ending is. c. Markedness-based neutr...
متن کاملOn Accusative First*
This paper explores the source of case patterns in various monadic and dyadic unaccusative constructions in Russian and Ukrainian in light of the tension between what we call “Nominative First” and nominativeless “Accusative First” case assignment strategies. Nominative First states that if nominative is available it must be used; Accusative First is then the assignment of accusative regardless...
