When Something Is Missing: Ellipsis, Coordination and the Chart
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with two linguistic phenomena which are usually considered cases of ill-formedness by the computational linguistics community: intersentential ellipsis and coordination (possibly with gaps). We present an original solution, if compared to those already known for the two phenomena. This solution is conceived within a relevant approach to parsing, i.e. chart parsing, and is coherent with the basic ideas of this approach.

The development and evolution of any system–person, organization–nation depends on how the system succeeds to bridge the gap between what the system knows and what the system does (with the knowledge). We call this the gap between knowing and doing or the knowing-doing gap. If the system does not do what it knows, it will lose out in competition with other systems, its relative performance in...
متن کاملSemantic Representation of Ellipsis in the Prague Dependency Treebanks
This article answers the question what is and what is not ellipsis and specifies criteria for identification of elliptical sentences. It reports on an analysis of types of ellipsis from the point of view of semantic representation of sentences. It does not deal with conditions and causes of the constitution of elliptical positions in sentences (when and why is it possible to omit something in a...
متن کاملResolution of Coordination Ellipses in Biological Named Entities Using Conditional Random Fields
Coordination ellipsis is a linguistic phenomenon where relevant information is eliminated from the linguistic surface expression of a coordination. Thereby, the assumption is that readers can easily reconstruct the eliminated material given appropriate background knowledge. This phenomenon is particularly abundant in science jargon. As far as named entity recognition (NER) is concerned, failing...
متن کاملCoordination Approach to Find Best Defense Decision with Multiple Possibilities among Robocup Soccer Simulation Team
In 2D Soccer Simulation league, agents will decide based on information and data in their model. Effective decisions need to have world model information without any noise and missing data; however, there are few solutions to omit noise in world model data; so we should find efficient ways to reduce the effect of noise when making decisions. In this article we evaluate some simple solutions whe...
متن کاملA Conversation Analysis of Ellipsis and Substitution in Global Business English Textbooks
Despite the body of research on textbook evaluation from the discourse analysis perspective, cohesive devices have rarely been analyzed in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) textbooks. The acquisition and use of cohesive devices is inherent to naturalistic communication, including business interactions. Hence, L2 learners of business English should be exposed to these devices through cohesion-...
