This thesis describes a number of practical experiments rather than theoretical investigations in the area of natural language processing. The basis for the work presented is Grammatical Framework (GF). It is a very complex system, which comprises among other things a grammar formalism based on type theory and its implementation written in Haskell. GF is intended for high-quality machine transl...

The representation of historical change poses a challenge for Optimality Theory. On one hand, the basic tenets of Optimality Theory (Prince and Smolensky 1993) urge us to think non-derivationally about synchronic phonology. On the other hand, historical phonological change can be seen as inherently derivational — we have an input (the original form) and an output (the new form), and a mapping b...

Contemporary scholarship has significantly advanced our understanding of the grammarian Bhartṛhari’s influence on Pratyabhijñā Śaivism Utpaladeva and Abhinavagupta. One area that been somewhat neglected, however, is subject relation (sambandha). Here, I examine sambandha-vāda school. As see it, holistic movement sphoṭa—the practical process ‘encoding’ ‘decoding’ linguistic information—leads to ...

The moral faculty enables us to produce moral judgments on the basis of the causes and consequences of actions. As an empirical research program, we follow the framework of modern linguistics. 1 The spirit of the argument dates back at least to the economist Adam Smith (1759/1976) who argued for something a...

(GL V 10. 19–20). Cle...

This paper describes an algorithm for the compilation of a two (or more) level orthographic or phonological rule notation into finite state transducers. The notation is an alternative to the standard one deriving from Koskenniemi's work: it is believed to have some practical descriptive advantages, and is quite widely used, but has a different interpretation. Etficient interpreters exist for th...

The Greek grammarian and lexicographer, Hesychius of Alexandria (5th–6th c. CE) included a Pamphylian gloss: βουρικυπάρισσος ἡ ἄμπελος. Περγαῖοι in his dictionary rare dialectal words. Based on microphilological lexical analysis, I suggest that the text should be read as follows: βουρί˙κυπάρισσος ἢ (“bourí: cypress or grapevine. Citizens Perge”). gloss question represents two different borrowin...
