This paper investigates the morphosyntax of the Icelandic DP following work by Sigurðsson (1993, 2006); Julien (2005). In addition to providing an analysis of the basic structure of the Icelandic DP, this paper investigates two (apparent) movements within the DP: one involving the definite article suffix -inn, and one involving pronominal possessors (e.g., minn ‘my’). I show that the fronting o...

Evaluation campaigns have become an established way to evaluate automatic systems which tackle the same task. This paper presents the first edition of the Anaphora Resolution Exercise (ARE) and the lessons learnt from it. This first edition focused only on English pronominal anaphora and NP coreference, and was organised as an exploratory exercise where various issues were investigated. ARE pro...

1. Intrcnluction Translation of anaphoric expressions has been problematic in most of the MT systems (Key 1986). One ot' the main reasons for the difficulties lies in the lack of discourse information representation in the MT systems. In this paper, we report an implementation of the Discourse Representation Theory in an LFG-based Engl ishto-Japanese MT program, and discuss problems in translat...

This paper gives an overview of the Icelandic data in Nordic Word Order Database (NWD; Lundquist et al. 2019). The were collected from 30 native speakers Icelandic, and experimental task elicited argument placement (subject shift, object long particle shift). results confirm that subject shift definite subjects pronouns is produced categorically as pronominal shift. With regard to non-pronomina...

In this paper we present the preliminaries for a machine learning approach to resolve the pronominal anaphora in Basque language. In this work we determine the appropriate features to be used in this task.

Bresnan (1997) proposes a model of constituent structure revolving around two universal modes of organisation-endocentricity and lexicocentricity. For endocentric structures, a set of universal principles of structure-function association provides a canonical mapping from nodes to f-structures. This model proposes a highly constrained view of constituent structure, but does not take into accoun...
