An Alignment Solution to Bracketing Paradoxes

نویسنده

  • Jason Merchant
چکیده

Bracketing paradoxes of this type arise from the discrepancy between the bracketing required by the meaning and the syntactic subcategorization as in (2a) and that required by the morphological subcategorization as in (2b).1 The prefix unattaches (regularly) only to adjectives and the resulting complex is an adjective (in accordance with Williams’ (1981) Right-hand Head Rule), and -ity attaches to adjectives creating a noun. The compound has the regularly compositional meaning contributed by its parts: the property (-ity) of being not (un-) grammatical.

The Morphology of German Particle Verbs: Solving the Bracketing Paradox

Inflectional affixes are sensitive to morphological properties of the elements they attach to. Therefore Bierwisch (1987) suggested that the inflectional material is combined with both the verbal stem of simplex verbs and the verbal stem of particle verbs. He argued that this leads to the bracketing paradox in the case of particle verbs since the semantic contribution of the inflectional inform...

Word Alignment with Stochastic Bracketing Linear Inversion Transduction Grammar

The class of Linear Inversion Transduction Grammars (LITGs) is introduced, and used to induce a word alignment over a parallel corpus. We show that alignment via Stochastic Bracketing LITGs is considerably faster than Stochastic Bracketing ITGs, while still yielding alignments superior to the widelyused heuristic of intersecting bidirectional IBM alignments. Performance is measured as the trans...

Word Alignment Based on Bilingual Bracketing

In this paper, an improved word alignment based on bilingual bracketing is described. The explored approaches include using Model-1 conditional probability, a boosting strategy for lexicon probabilities based on importance sampling, applying Parts of Speech to discriminate English words and incorporating information of English base noun phrase. The results of the shared task on French-English, ...

A Corpus-Based Model of Semantic Plausibility for German Bracketing Paradoxes

In this paper, we investigate German constructions composed of an adjective and a two-part nominal compound, such as katholisches Kirchenoberhaupt (‘catholic church.leader’), focusing on two issues: (i) what are the prerequisites for semantically possible adjective-nominal compound constructions; (ii) which semantic factors determine the availability of bracketing paradox readings (i. e., the a...

A Modular Approach to Turkish Noun Compounding: The Integration of a Finite-State Model

In this paper, we describe the design and integration of a three level cascaded non-deterministic finite state model of Turkish compounding into Turkish PAPPI, a comprehensive syntactic parser in the principles-andparameters(P&P) framework. Our approach is to handle compounding as an intermediate stage between morphological analysis and syntactic parsing. We discuss how the compounding machine ...
