Frequency evidence, which we can write as p(x), the probability of x occurring, concerns itself simply with the overall distribution of linguistic phenomenon x – such as whether informal written English has a higher proportion of interrogative clauses than formal written English. In order to calculate frequency evidence we must define x, i.e. decide how to identify interrogative clauses. We mus...

The primary goal of this paper is to investigate whether interrogative suggestibility is related to certain personality traits in an Estonian sample of subjects (N = 61; 20 men and 41 women; mean age = 20.6 years; SD = 2.98). Results show that the means and standard deviations for different suggestibility scores in a sample of the Estonian population were all lower compared with those obtained ...

Question classification, an important component of question answering systems, has a direct impact on the answer extraction accuracy. In this paper, a question classification method is proposed by combined the question feature extracting of term relevance with semi-supervised classification. In detail, the method extracts structure terms in interrogative sentences as the feature space through s...

This paper providers unification-based GPSG and LFG analyses of Mandarin questions. First, we briefly introduce four kinds of Mandarin question, namely, WH-questions, A-not-A questions, disjunctive questions, and particle questions. Their different interrogative messages are adequately encoded with different feature-value pairs. Then, the compatibility of this interrogative information in a sim...

Interrogation is marked by several devices in a natural language. Some of these devices are linguistically welldefined. However, many of them are not so well-defined and hence their dealing depends on several factors including some extra-grammatical factors. Furthermore, different languages adopt different strategies to mark different types of interrogation and there is no one-to-one map betwee...

Previous studies dealing with the position of the interrogative clitic in Turkish, such as Besler (2000) and Aygen (2007), seem to be based on the assumption that the position of the interrogative clitic naïvely corresponds to the scope of question. However, Zimmer (1998) and Göksel and Kerslake (2005) point out that there are cases where the interrogative clitic is located in the pre-verbal po...
