Semantic Interpretation of Unrealized Syntactic Material in LTAG
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a LTAG-based analysis of gapping and VP ellipsis, which proposes that resolution of the elided material is part of a general disambiguation procedure, which is also responsible for resolution of underspecified representations of scope.

Computing Discourse Semantics: The Predicate-Argument Semantics of Discourse Connectives in D-LTAG
Abstract. D-LTAG is a discourse-level extension of Lexicalized Tree-Adjoining Grammar (LTAG), in which discourse syntax is projected by different types of discourse connectives and discourse interpretation is a product of compositional rules, anaphora resolution, and inference. In this paper, we present a D-LTAG extension of ongoing work on an LTAG syntaxsemantic interface. First, we show how p...
متن کاملGlueTag Linear Logic based Semantics Construction for LTAG
In this paper we review existing appoaches to semantics construction in LTAG (Lexicalised Tree Adjoining Grammar) which are all based on the notion of derivation (tree)s. We argue that derivation structures in LTAG are not appropriate to guide semantic composition, due to a non-isomorphism, in LTAG, between the syntactic operation of adjunction on the one hand, and the semantic operations of co...

متن کاملUsing LTAG-Based Features for Semantic Role Labeling
Semantic role labeling (SRL) methods typically use features from syntactic parse trees. We propose a novel method that uses Lexicalized Tree-Adjoining Grammar (LTAG) based features for this task. We convert parse trees into LTAG derivation trees where the semantic roles are treated as hidden information learned by supervised learning on annotated data derived from PropBank. We extracted various...
متن کاملVerbs in Applied Linguistics Research Article Introductions: Semantic and syntactic analysis
This study aims to investigate the semantic and syntactic features of verbs used in the introduction section of Applied Linguistics research articles published in Iranian and international journals. A corpus of 20 research article introductions (10 from each journal) was used. The corpus was analysed for the syntactic features (tense, aspect and voice) and semantic meaning of verbs. The finding...
