In an attempt to dispel the persisting fallacy that an individual’s grammar knowledge is indicative of the way they put this knowledge into practice, this study seeks to highlight the inconsistency which resides between one’s competence and performance in the domain of conjunctions. It aims to shed light on the discrepancy which lies between the knowledge and production of conjunctions. The res...

In the era of IR4.0, Natural Language Processing (NLP) is one major focuses because text stored digitally to code information. language understanding requires a computational grammar for syntax and semantics in question this information be manipulated digitally. Many languages around world have their own grammars processing semantics. However, when it comes Malay language, researchers yet come ...

This paper presents a parsing algorithm in Prolog using GULP, based on dependency grammar and unification-based grammar.1 It parses declarative sentences of a free-word-order language, Korean. The dependency grammar accepts free order of the words in a sentence. Unification-based features separate the grammar from the parsing algorithm and also simplify the notation of the grammar. GULP (Graph ...
