Medicine has, no doubt, always had its icons, symbols we all use and recognize as emblematic of what we do and what we think of our profession. The stethoscope-as-necklace seems to be currently popular, perhaps as a badge of authority to be worn in the medical center parking lot, the local shopping mall, as well as on ward rounds. For an earlier generation, it was certainly the microscope that ...

Recently, there has been great interest both in the development of cross-linguistically applicable annotation schemes and in the application of syntactic parsers at web scale to create parsebanks of online texts. The combination of these two trends to create massive, consistently annotated parsebanks in many languages holds enormous potential for the quantitative study of many linguistic phenom...

This paper presents a Chinese dependency syntax for treebanking. The syntax contains 13 word classes and 34 dependency types. A format of treebank based on the syntax is also proposed for the applications of computational and general linguistic research. Some experiments show that the treebank based on the proposed dependency syntax can be used for training and evaluating the dependency parser ...

reading in psychology, law, ethics and theology, together with an intimate experiencf^ a psychotherapist of the inner life of people bedevilled by guilt feelings. He deals the origin and development of guilt and anxiety, and the contrast between those domina throughout life by a stern super-ego and those who mature to a real sense of personal ponsibility which can accept the objective fact of t...

This paper presents the syntactic annotation level of a project aimed at providing a small dialog corpus with multiple levels of annotation. The syntactic annotation is based on dependency syntax. We outline the reasons for choosing dependency, and show the syntactic annotation for some constructions. We finish by describing the current state of the project.
