Commas and the surrounding sentence structure often express relations that are essential to understanding the meaning of the sentence. This paper proposes a set of relations commas participate in, expanding on previous work in this area, and develops a new dataset annotated with this set of labels. We identify features that are important to achieve a good performance on comma labeling and then ...

The comma is the most common form of punctuation. As such, it may have the greatest effect on the syntactic analysis of a sentence. As an isolate language, Chinese sentences have fewer cues for parsing. The clues for segmentation of a long Chinese sentence are even fewer. However, the average frequency of comma usage in Chinese is higher than other languages. The comma plays an important role i...

Abstract This study employed a parallel plate capacitor model by which the electrostatic energy of lightning flashes could be estimated considering only their physical dimensions and breakdown electric fields in two simulated storms. The has previously been used to approximate total stormelectrostatic but is modified here use geometry individual mimic local charge configuration where were initi...

Greek comedy is full of quotable maxims. According to a literal reading, the comedians might be seen as custodians traditional gnomic wisdom, along with their tragic counterparts. Nevertheless, it argued here that maxims in are different from other contexts. Comic typically appear ‘within inverted commas’, not just sense (because inherent ‘quotationality’) but figurative pervasive irony and sel...

This study presents the first two ERP reading studies of comma-induced effects of covert (implicit) prosody on syntactic parsing decisions in English. The first experiment used a balanced 2 × 2 design in which the presence/absence of commas determined plausibility (e.g., John, said Mary, was the nicest boy at the party vs. John said Mary was the nicest boy at the party). The second reading expe...

This paper reports on initial experiments with automatic comma recovery in legal texts. In deciding whether to insert a comma or not, we propose to use the value of the probability of a bigram of two words without a comma and a trigram of the words with the comma. The probability is determined by the language model trained on sentences with commas labeled as separate words. In the training data...
