Sentence compression is a task of generating a grammatical short sentence from an original sentence, retaining the most important information. The existing methods of removing the constituents in the parse tree of an original sentence cannot deal with recursive structures which appear in the parse tree. This paper proposes a method to remove such structure and generate a grammatical short sente...

Corpora of child language are essential for psycholinguistic research. Linguistic annotation of the corpora provides researchers with better means for exploring the development of grammatical constructions and their usage. We describe an ongoing project that aims to annotate the English section of the CHILDES database with grammatical relations in the form of labeled dependency structures. To d...

We present a dependency-driven parser that parses both dependency structures and constituent structures. Constituency representations are automatically transformed into dependency representations with complex arc labels, which makes it possible to recover the constituent structure with both constituent labels and grammatical functions. We report a labeled attachment score close to 90% for depen...

defamiliarize or deviation is one of the foundational pillar to studies of contemporary linguistics and the purpose of it is deviation from the norm logical and natural and going beyond the common language, so stylistic and aesthetic purposes language appear in this manner and this (unfamiliarity) can create  intellectual engagement in mind of the reader and make an impression on his. ghada al-...

This article concentrates on an interesting study of the supra-segmental phonemes L1 and L2. A stress sign or mark has no phonemic value in Arabic; this is very different from English, which contains three common degrees levels word stress, that effect meaning. Stress can also joins segments, affecting their grammatical structures. The intonation forms pitch, too, play out differently two langu...

The present study is an examination of an Italian aphasic speaker (M.R.) with non-fluent speech following a focal lesion in the left hemisphere. We develop an explanation of M.R.'s language impairment compatible with theories of generative syntax and with some observations on parsing strategies. The explanatory framework we adopt considers the grammar to be an integral part of on-line language ...

besides the necessity of gaining the prerequisites of tafsir, the views of the early scholars about these prerequisites also had to be considered. the present article is to make clear that most of the exegetes did not really meet the prerequisites mentioned in their own preface. it also discuses about the preliminary sciences to tafsir which may be classified into seven general groups with some...

With the growing interest in supporting the Arabic language on the Semantic Web (SW), there is an emerging need to enable Arab users to query ontologies and RDF stores without being challenged with the formal logic of the SW. In the domain of English language, several efforts provided Natural Language (NL) interfaces to enable ordinary users to query ontologies using NL queries. However, none o...

The aim of this study is to demonstrate that rhythm variation across Arabic dialects is to a great extent correlated with the different types of syllabic structure observed in these dialects, especially with regard to the relative complexity of onsets and codas. The main focus is on the relationship between syllabic structures on the one hand, and rhythm classes based on segmental duration on t...
