Extrasentential Resolution of Japanese Zero Pronouns Using Semantic and Pragmatic Constraints
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a method to resolve Japanese zero pronouns with extrasentential reference which can be realized in a practical machine translation system. This method focuses on semantic and pragmatic constraints such as modal expressions, verbal semantic attributes and conjunctions to determine the extrasentential referents of Japanese zero pronouns. According to a window test, 100% of zero pronouns with extrasentential referents could be resolved correctly with the consistency.

Intrasentential Resolution of Japanese Zero Pronouns in a Machine Translation System using Semantic and Pragmatic Constraints
This paper proposes a method to resolve intrasentential references of Japanese zero pronouns suitable for application in widely applicable and practical machine translation systems. It is highly effective because the volume of knowledge that must be prepared beforehand is not so large and its accuracy is good. This method focuses on semantic and pragmatic constraints such as conjunctions, verba...

This paper proposes a method to resolve the reference of deictic Japanese zero pronouns which can be implemented in a practical machine translation system. This method focuses on semantic and pragmatic constraints such as semantic constraints on cases, modal expressions, verbal semantic attributes and conjunctions to determine the deictic reference of Japanese zero pronouns. This method is high...
متن کاملPronoun Resolution in Japanese Sentences Using Surface Expressions and Examples
In this paper, we present a method of estimating referents of demonstrative pronouns, personal pronouns, and zero pronouns in Japanese sentences using examples, surface expressions, topics and foci. Unlike conventional work which was semantic markers for semantic constraints, we used examples for semantic constraints and showed in our experiments that examples are as useful as semantic markers....
متن کاملZero Pronoun Resolution in a Machine Translation System by using Japanese to English Verbal Semantic Attributes
A method of anaphoral resolution of zero pronouns in Japanese language texts using the verbal semantic attributes is suggested. This method focuses attention on the semantic attributes of verbs and examines the context from the relationship between the semantic attributes of verbs governing zero pronouns and the semantic attributes of verbs governing their referents. The semantic attributes of ...
متن کاملAutomatic Extraction Of Rules For Anaphora Resolution Of Japanese Zero Pronouns From Aligned Sentence Pairs
This paper proposes a method to extract rules for anaphora resolution of Japanese zero pronouns from aligned sentence pairs. The method focuses on the characteristics of Japanese and English in which both the language families and the distribution of zero pronouns are very different. In this method, zero pronouns in the Japanese sentence and the English translation equivalents of their antecede...
