the present paper aims to analyze the method of sibooye in syntactic analysis with reference to grammar writing and applied syntax. the outcome of this study shows that the method of sibooye is structure writing mixed with analysis. he didn’t suffice to quoting what he heard but moves forward and does functionalism analysis. the nearest reasons showing sibooye’s attempt on this method is that m...

Syntactic analysis influences the way in which the source sentence is translated. Previous efforts add syntactic constraints to phrase-based translation by directly rewarding/punishing a hypothesis whenever it matches/violates source-side constituents. We present a new model that automatically learns syntactic constraints, including but not limited to constituent matching/violation, from traini...

This paper presents results on a preliminary study using syntactic information to predict language dominance in Spanish-English bilingual children. Our approach uses a bag of syntactic grammar rules taken from narratives in English and Spanish. We then measure prediction accuracy of categorizing children into Spanish-dominant, English-dominant, and Balanced Bilingual. The results are competitiv...

This paper describes an unusual approach to the partial syntactic analysis of unrestricted German text. Unlike most other chunk parsers, which are specially designed and implemented for the single purpose of annotating syntactic structures, YAC is the result of a slow evolution from on-line to off-line analysis. As we formulated increasingly complex queries in the CQP query language, some of wh...

Coordination between conversation partners occurs at multiple levels, including choice of syntactic structure. A number of outstanding questions concerning the origin of this coordination require novel analytic techniques. Here we introduce and adapt a widely applied dynamical analysis, recurrence analysis. We use this method to explore lexical and syntactic coordination between children and ca...

This study aims to investigate the semantic and syntactic features of verbs used in the introduction section of Applied Linguistics research articles published in Iranian and international journals. A corpus of 20 research article introductions (10 from each journal) was used. The corpus was analysed for the syntactic features (tense, aspect and voice) and semantic meaning of verbs. The finding...

This paper presents the first steps towards a statistical syntactic analyzer for Basque. The system is based on a syntactically dependency annotated treebank and an adaptation of the deterministic syntactic analyzer of Nivre et al. (2007), which relies on a shift/reduce deterministic analyzer together with a machine learning module that determines which one of 4 analysis options to take, giving...

Our work addresses the automatic detection of paraphrastic reformulation in French spoken corpora. The proposed approach is syntagmatic. It is based on specific markers and the specificities of the spoken language. Manual multi-dimensional annotation performed by two annotators provides fine-grained reference data. An automatic method is proposed in order to decide whether sentences contain or ...

Recent developments in the theory of finite splicing systems have revealed surprising connections between long-standing notions in the formal language theory and splicing operation. More precisely, the syntactic monoid and Schützenberger constant have strong interaction with the investigation of regular splicing languages. This paper surveys results of structural characterization of classes of ...
