We present DSim, a new sentence aligned Danish monolingual parallel corpus extracted from 3701 pairs of news telegrams and corresponding professionally simplified short news articles. The corpus is intended for building automatic text simplification for adult readers. We compare DSim to different examples of monolingual parallel corpora, and we argue that this corpus is a promising basis for fu...

Words are typically encountered in the context of a sentence. Recent studies suggest that the contexts in which a word typically appears can a!ect the way it is recognized in isolation. We distinguish two types of context: collocational, involving speci"c lexical items, and syntactic, involving abstract syntactic structures. We investigate the e!ects of syntactic context using the distribution ...

In this paper, we report on our attempt at assigning semantic information from the English FrameNet to lexical units in the Bulgarian valency lexicon. The paper briefly presents the model underlying the Bulgarian FrameNet (BulFrameNet): each lexical entry consists of a lexical unit; a semantic frame from the English FrameNet, expressing abstract semantic structure; a grammatical class, defining...

The structure of a discourse is reflected in many aspects of its linguistic realization, including its lexical, prosodic, syntactic, and semantic nature. Multiparty dialog contains a particular kind of discourse structure, the dialog act (DA). Like other types of structure, the dialog act sequence of a conversation is also reflected in its lexical, prosodic, and syntactic realization. This pape...

1. The Problem I count myself among the linguists who believe in a continuity between grammar and lexicon (Fillmore et al. 1988, Joshi 1985), and I entertain the common image that each lexical item carries with it instructions on how it fits into a larger semantic-syntactic structure, or, alternatively, on how semantic-syntactic structures are to be built around it. My remarks here specifically...

Document clustering is an unsupervised machine learning method that separates a large subject heterogeneous collection (Corpus) into smaller, more manageable, subject homogeneous collections (clusters). Traditional method of document clustering works around extracting textual features like: terms, sequences, and phrases from documents. These features are independent of each other and do not cat...
