different languages are classified in different types according to different elliptical positions in coordinate sentences. in the following, i shall briefly outline this typology and then show the status of persian in this hierarchy. moreover, i will demonstrate that two functional factors; ease of processing and temporal order, are in competition to specify the elliptical positions in these se...

In Section 6 of "A statistical approach to machine translation" (Computational Linguistics 16(2), 79-85), we reported the results of two experiments in which we estimated parameters of a statistical model of translation from English to French. In the first experiment, the English and French vocabularies each consisted of 9,000 common words, and the model parameters were estimated from 40,000 pa...

In machine translation and man-machine dialogue, it is important to clarify' referents of noun phrases. We present a method for determining the referents of noun phrases in Japanese sentences by using the referential properties, modifiers, and possessors 1 of noun phrases. Since the Japanese language has no articles, it is difficult to decide whether a noun phrase has an antecedent or not. We h...

The issues centering around the nature of beliefs, desires, and the other attitudes pertain to two principal areas of investigation: the e...

Fifty-six (40 male, 16 female) mTBI patients and 85 (57 male and 28 female) controls with orthopaedic injuries were tested within 24 hr of injury in the Department of Emergency Medicine. mTBI patients answered fewer orientation questions and reca...

This paper addresses the classification of semantic relations between pairs of sentences extracted from a Dutch parallel corpus at the word, phrase and sentence level. We first investigate the performance of human annotators on the task of manually aligning dependency analyses of the respective sentences and of assigning one of five semantic relations to the aligned phrases (equals, generalizes...

Landmarks in speech signal are regions with abrupt spectral variations. Automated detection of these regions is important for several applications in speech processing. Performance of landmark detection using parameters extracted from predefined spectral bands generally gets limited by speaker related spectral variability. This paper presents a landmark detection technique which adapts to the a...
