We argue that finite clauses should be regarded as the basic unit in syntactic analysis of spoken language, and describe a method that automatically detects clause boundaries by classifying coordinating conjunctions in spoken language discourse as belonging to either the syntactic level or the discourse level of analysis. The method exploits the special role that coordinating conjunctions play ...

While formal theories of language consider function words to have little semantic content, more recent theoretical work has argued that even function words have meaning. Yet, there is little experimental work on the representations underlying the meaning of function words such as conjunctions. In two offline experiments, we examined whether conjunctions (and, or, but, either...or) are associate...

Abstract This study analyses the role of conjunctions in clause linkage Australian languages. Conjunctions are seemingly straightforward clause-linking devices, but they remain under-studied, both for languages and from a broader typological perspective. In this study, we propose functional definition conjunctions, as set against other resources linkage. We show that captures not just prototypi...

The design of neural networks that are able to efficiently encode and detect conjunctions of features is an important open challenge that is also referred to as “the binding-problem”. We define a formal framework for neural nodes that process activity in the form of tuples of spike-trains which can efficiently encode and detect feature-conjunctions on a retinal input field in a position-invaria...
