Verb Particle Constructions (VPCs) are flexible in nature and hence quite complex and challenging to handle. As a consequence, VPCs generate a lot of interest for NLP community. Despite their prevalence in English they are not handled very well, and hence often result in poor quality of translation. In this paper we investigate VPCs for English to Hindi translation. An English VPC can have diff...

unlike the languages we know, some of the arabic sentences form without any verbs. arab grammarians call these sentences, which contain a subject and a predicate without any linking verbs, nominal sentences. examining theses sentences indicates that their predicate is composed of one of the following words or structures: 1. noun, 2. prepositional phrase, 3. an adverb of time or place, 4. a nomi...

This study examined the role of the native language (L1) transfer in a non-native language (L2) acquisition of the there-insertion construction at the syntax-semantics interface. Specifically, the study investigated if Mandarin EFL learners would make overgeneralization errors in the situation where an L1 argument structure constitutes a superset of its L2 counterpart. Verbs of existence and ap...

The duration of postictal language dysfunction following a temporal lobe complex partial seizure (TLCPS) is longer when the seizure originates in the dominant hemisphere. However, the effects of older age and the presence of a structural lesion ipsilateral to the area of origin of the seizure remain unknown. Postictal language delay (PILD) was analyzed in relation to age and presence of a struc...

A fundamental issue dividing theories of the syntax-semantics interface is whether the semantic representation of clauses is projected from the lexical representation of the verb which determines to a large extent the syntactic structure of the clause or whether it is constructed or composed based on the NPs and PPs co-occurring with the verb in a clause; in the latter view, the verb has a very...

This paper shows that inference rules with temporal constraints can be acquired by using verb-verb co-occurrences in Japanese coordinated sentences and verb-noun cooccurrences. For example, our unsupervised acquisition method could obtain the inference rule “If someone enforces a law, usually someone enacts the law at the same time as or before the enforcing of the law” since the verbs “enact” ...

whether or not there is a verbal passive construction in persian has been ‎highly controversial. traditional grammarians and most linguists have ‎argued that there is a structural passive construction in persian, similar to ‎that observed in english. within the framework of the minimalist ‎program, but more in the spirit of emonds’s (2006) division of analytic ‎passives into verbal and adjectiv...
