This paper presents four main features of the ExATOlp software tool. These features provide the following language resources: corpus relevant terms and their morpho-syntactic and frequency features; concordancer (terms contexts); concept tags; and concept hierarchies. The emphasis of the tool relies on the high quality of extracted terms. The provided resources offer a concise representation of...

We investigate the relationship between prosodic phrase boundaries in terms of pausing and the linguistic structure on morpho-syntactic and discourse levels in spontaneous dialogues as well as in read aloud speech in Swedish. Both the speakers’ production and the listeners’ perception of pausing are considered and mapped to the linguistic structure.

We propose in this paper a new contribution to the evaluation of linguistic difficulty. At the opposite of classical approaches relying on syntax, we show that a probabilistic morpho-syntactic analysis provides information enough to calculate different parameters, including surprisal. This method constitutes an original and robust model to linguistic complexity. It constitutes a solution toward...

We present the CimS submissions to the 2014 Shared Task for the language pair EN→DE. We address the major problems that arise when translating into German: complex nominal and verbal morphology, productive compounding and flexible word ordering. Our morphologyaware translation systems handle word formation issues on different levels of morpho-syntactic modeling.

The Irish National Morphology Database is a human-verified, Official Standard-compliant dataset containing the inflected forms and other morpho-syntactic properties of Irish nouns, adjectives, verbs and prepositions. It is being developed by Foras na Gaeilge as part of the New English-Irish Dictionary project. This paper introduces this dataset and its accompanying software library Gramadán.

This paper addresses the question of how certain kinds of overlapping syncretisms in inflectional paradigms can be accounted for that Baerman et al. (2005) refer to as convergent/divergent bidirectional syncretisms (based on earlier work by Stump (2001)). Bidirectional syncretism strongly resists accounts in terms of standard rules of exponence (or similar devices) that correlate inflection mar...

This paper presents the result of an experimental system aimed at performing a robust semantic analysis of analyzed speech input in the area of information system access. The goal of this experiment was to investigate the eeectiveness of such a system in a pipelined architecture , where no control is possible over the morpho-syntactic analysis which precedes the semantic analysis and query form...

This paper discusses issues in building a 54-thousand-word Korean Treebank using a phrase structure annotation, along with developing annotation guidelines based on the morpho-syntactic phenomena represented in the corpus. Various methods that were employed for quality control are presented. The evaluation on the quality of the Treebank and some of the NLP applications under development using t...
