Annotating the Implicit Content of Sluices
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports on an effort to develop a linguistically-informed annotation scheme for sluicing (Ross, 1969), ellipsis that leaves behind a wh-phrase. We describe a scheme for annotating the elided content, both in terms of a free text representation and its degree of correspondence with its antecedent. We demonstrate that we can achieve reasonable IAA (α between .78 and .88 across eight annotation types) and describe some of the novel patterns that have arisen from this effort.

This paper investigates experimentally the generalizations made in AnderBois (2010, 2011, 2014) that a sluice may never take an appositive clause as its antecedent. We find that experimental participants rated sentences with sluiceantecedents in appositives as acceptable. We highlight two factors which influence the acceptability of appositive antecedents for sluices:whether the indefinite NP a...

متن کاملFeature-Rich Information Extraction for the Technical Trend-Map Creation
The authors used a word sequence labeling method for technical effects and base-technology extraction in the Technical Trend Map Creation Subtask of the NTCIR-8 Patent Mining Task. The method labels each word based on CRF (Conditional Random Field) trained with labeled data. The word features employed in the labeling are obtained by using explicit/implicit document structures, technology fields...
متن کاملFilling the Silence: Reactivation, not Reconstruction
In a self-paced reading experiment, we investigated the processing of sluicing constructions ("sluices") whose antecedent contained a known garden-path structure in German. Results showed decreased processing times for sluices with garden-path antecedents as well as a disadvantage for antecedents with non-canonical word order downstream from the ellipsis site. A post-hoc analysis showed the gar...
