Paratactic syntactic structures are notoriously difficult to represent in dependency formalisms. This has painful consequences such as high frequency of parsing errors related to coordination. In other words, coordination is a pending problem in dependency analysis of natural languages. This paper tries to shed some light on this area by bringing a systematizing view of various formal means dev...

Paratactic syntactic structures are difficult to represent in syntactic dependency tree structures. As such, we propose an annotation schema for syntactic dependency annotation of Japanese, in which coordinate structures are separated from and overlaid on bunsetsu(base phrase unit)-based dependency. The schema represents nested coordinate structures, non-constituent conjuncts, and forward shari...

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...

This study aims to describe the forms of grammatical cohesion conjunctions in a short story book entitled The Bridge and Other Love Stories by Christine Lindop. focused on conjunctions, meanings, functions using Halliday's theory analyze data. approach used this was descriptive qualitative every word contained other love stories results indicate that with title are Additive, Adversative, Causal...

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...

Title of dissertation: AGING, ILLUSORY CONJUNCTIONS, AND ATTENTION Lisa Jean Murphy, Doctor of Philosophy, 2006 Dissertation directed by: Professor Ellin K. Scholnick Department of Psychology Elderly adults do not perform as well as young adults on complex tasks. Elderly adults' poorer performance may be partly due to an age-related increase in the occurrence of illusory conjunctions. To invest...
