Machine Translation is increasingly being taught within non scientific subject areas at French universities, which involves instructors solving educational and scientific problems caused by the lack of training of these students in computer science. Most of these students are being taught MT within the framework of language and linguistic courses. As MT instructors in both Departments of Foreig...

The linguistic categorisation of compounds dates back to some of the earliest work in linguistics. The cross-linguistic compound taxonomy of Bisetto and Scalise (2005), later refined in Scalise and Bisetto (2009), is well-known in linguistics for understanding the grammatical relations in compounds. Although this taxonomy has not been used extensively in the field of computational linguistics, ...

Computational linguistics (CL) has borrowed a lot of ideas from Theoretical Linguistics (TZ). We could not have developed even a simple parser without the research results in TL. It is obviously nonsense to claim that we, computational linguists, do not care research results in TL. llowever, the researchers in TL, it seems to me, are very fond of fighlinq~ especially, those who are called Synla...

The conferences ACL (Association for Computational Linguistics) and EMNLP (Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing) rank among the premier venues that track the research developments in Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics. In this paper, we present a study on the research papers of approximately two decades from these two NLP conferences. We apply keyphrase extrac...

In this book, the authors present an important body of work in computational linguistics, which they and their colleagues have been developing over the past 20 years. For a unifying perspective, they organize their assumptions, theories, and techniques around the theme of ontological semantics. Along the way, they critique many alternative views of semantics, which they distinguish from their o...

We describe the design objectives, features, and the computational language model of a computer-mediated tool designed for learners of Turkish morphology. The underlying system is a generative grammar, more speciically, a computational word grammar that makes use of feature structures to deliver composition and decomposition of morphemes at the syntax-lexicon interface via two-level morphology....

We present an educational tool that integrates computational linguistics resources for use in non-technical undergraduate language science courses. By using the tool in conjunction with evidence-driven pedagogical case studies, we strive to provide opportunities for students to gain an understanding of linguistic concepts and analysis through the lens of realistic problems in feasible ways. Cas...

This paper presents a novel type of test, halfway between multiple-choice and free-form text, used for training and assessment in several courses in a Computational Linguistics curriculum. We will describe the principles of the test, the different ways in which it can be used by learners, and the tools developed for authoring. Use of this type of test is not limited to the field of Computationa...
