This paper describes an implemented algorithm for syntactic realization of a target-language sentence from an interlingual representation called Lexical Conceptual Structure (LCS). We provide a mapping between LCS thematic roles and Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) relations; these relations serve as input to an oo-the-shelf generator (Nitrogen). There are two contributions of this work: (...

In this paper, we give two formal representations of the thematic-rhematic (T-R) structure of a natural language discourse. One is based on the concept of ontological promiscuity and the other based on a typed A-calculus.

An analysis is proposed within the framework of LFG of sentences in German in which the correlative pronoun es occurs in conjunction with a CP. The pattern of occurrence of es in the middle eld, which diiers according to syntactic construction and type of the embedding verb, is derived from independently motivated LFG principles, in particular those concerning the mapping from a-structure to f-...

Aim/Purpose The purpose of the research was to examine function and application delimitations—what researcher includes excludes in a study—in dissertation process. aim map delimitations process improve research, rigor relevance findings, doctoral completion rates using formalized standardized approach applied flexibly. Background All is bounded whether formally defined or not. Unlike limitation...

An important question in the study of language production is the nature of the semantic information that speakers use to create syntactic structures. A common answer to this question assumes that thematic roles help to mediate the mapping from messages to syntax. However, research using structural priming has suggested that the construction of syntactic frames may be insensitive to variations i...
