Indonesian has always been ignored as a source of Noun Incorporation. This happens because the agglutinative nature Indonesian. means that many words in are formed by combining several morphemes. Even so, it is possible fact lot Incorporation (IN) processes occur research uses Mithun and Rosen's approach searching for Nouns The results this study reveal incorporation nouns even though they not ...

This paper examines the effect of paraphrasing noun-noun compounds in statistical machine translation from Swedish to English. The paraphrases are meant to elicit the underlying relationship that holds between the compounding nouns, with the use of prepositional and verb phrases. Though some types of noun-noun compounds are too lexicalized, or have some other qualities that make them unsuitable...

This paper explores the determinants of adjective-noun plausibility by using correlation analysis to compare judgements elicited from human subjects with five corpus-based variables: co-occurrence frequency of the adjective-noun pair, noun frequency, conditional probability of the noun given the adjective, the log-likelihood ratio, and Resnik’s (1993) selectional association measure. The highes...

We investigate how the automatic identification of noun compounds and named entities can contribute to keyphrase extraction and we also show how previously identified noun compounds affect named entity recognition and vice versa, how noun compound detection is supported by identified named entities. Our experiments demonstrate that already known noun compounds yield better performance in named ...

Noun phrase analysis is one of the most important components in Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications, such as information retrieval, extraction and categorization. For Thai, noun phrase analysis has unique problems, i.e., noun phrase boundary identification, noun phrase decomposition and its relation extraction, and core noun detection. Statistical and rule based Word formation is, th...

The goal for this project is to examine and evaluate the effect of paraphrasing noun-noun compounds, with the aim of improving machine translation. The paraphrases will elicit the underlying relationship that holds between the compounding nouns, with the use of prepositional and verb phrases. Though some types of noun-noun compounds are too lexicalized, or have some other qualities that make th...

The present study investigates the prosodic realization of split noun sentences in Chinese, like ‘shu, wo mai le san ben. (Book, I buy ASP three CLAS. ‘I bought three books.’). The question and answer paradigm was used to induce sentences where the noun was either the topic or the focus. In the topic context, the question was of the form, ‘I heard you bought books and pencils. Is that true?’ In...

This paper responds to the claim of Veale, O’Donoghue and Keane (1995) that SME (Falkenhainer, Forbus & Gentner, 1989; Forbus, Ferguson & Gentner, 1994) performs poorly on noun-noun comparisons, such as A surgeon is like a butcher. Veale et al. argue that such noun-noun comparisons involve “object-centered representations” that do not contain higher-order relations, and that Sapper’s chaining o...

Coreference resolution involves nding antecedents for anaphoric discourse entities, such as deenite noun phrases. But many deenite noun phrases are not anaphoric because their meaning can be understood from general world knowledge (e.g., \the White House" or \the news media"). We have developed a corpus-based algorithm for automatically identifying deenite noun phrases that are non-anaphoric, w...
