This paper proposes an approach to determine the ordering of Korean adverb by using clustering method for making sentences more natural at the generation stage of English-Korean machine translation system. After observing the feature information of Korean adverb classified by scholars of Korean literature, we analyze an adverb ordering about the feature information. Afterwards, we extract conse...

Starting out with some intriguing parallels and differences between French beaucoup ‘a lot’ and souvent ‘often’, this paper develops an account of the distributional and semantic properties of four classes of adverbial expressions of quantity: frequency adverbs (souvent), relative degree adverbs (beaucoup), absolute degree adverbs ( un peu ‘a bit’) and x-times adverbs (trois fois ‘three times’)...

This paper describes the CTB Coreference Annotation Guidelines for annotating pronominal anaphoric expressions in the Penn Chinese Treebank. The goals of the annotation are: to provide training data for learning-based pronoun resolution tools, and to provide a \gold" standard to be used in the evaluation of pronoun resolution algorithms. The choices that were made concerning the coindexing of p...

Laz spatial adverbs are notional lexical items making up rather numerous and semantically diverse groups. They play a significant role in linguistic representation of structures determining which circumstances with what features an action, conveyed by verb, proceeds. satellites outside verb stem; sentences, they occur as adverbial modifiers convey space-related information: direction movement p...

This paper discusses several data concerning the distribution of adverbs, primarily focusing on data from European Portuguese. It is defended that a proper understanding of the behavior of adverbs must take into account several factors that do not necessarily converge. In particular, it is argued that the following variables must be taken into account: inherent vs non-inherent meaning of the ad...

In recent years, theoretical and computational linguistics has paid much attention to linguistic items that form scales. In NLP, much research has focused on ordering adjectives by intensity (tiny < small). Here, we address the task of automatically ordering English adverbs by their intensifying or diminishing effect on adjectives (e.g. extremely small < very small). We experiment with 4 differ...
