  • Typological aspects of Lillooet transitive verb inflection 
    Eijk, Jan P. van (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2006-03)
    "The object of this article is to provide an analysis of the basic features of the Lillooet (Salish) transitive verb, and to compare the manner in which Lillooet marks personal pronominal subjects and objects to the ...
  • An Interface between Lexical and Discourse Semantics : The case of the light verb “have” 
    Tantos, Alexandros (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2005-11)
    The macro-target of discourse interpretation for computational purposes is the automatic detection of events in a text and their ordering in a temporal scale. Asher and Lascarides’ (2003) ideas on the semantics-pragmatics ...
  • Algonquian verb structure: Plains Cree 
    Bakker, Peter (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2006-03)
    "In this paper I discuss some aspects of verbs in Plains Cree, an Algonquian language of Canada. I will focus on the structure of stems, and on the order of affixes in the Cree verb. First, I will try and construct a ...
  • Computational Linguistics in the Netherlands 2004 : Selected papers from the fifteenth CLIN meeting 
    Wouden, Ton van der; Poß, Michaela; Reckman, Hilke; Cremers, Crit (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2005-11)
    This volume contains a selection of the papers presented at the fifteenth installment of Computational Linguistics in the Netherlands, held at Leiden University on Friday, December 17th, 2004. Organized by the computational ...
  • Extended Lexical Units in Dutch 
    Poß, Michaela; Wouden, Ton van der (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2005-11)
    The paper describes ongoing empirical research into a fundamental problem of linguistics, viz. the architecture of grammar, or the division of labor between lexicon and grammar. We try to find an answer to this question ...
  • Preference-Driven Bimachine Compilation : An Application to TTS Text Normalisation 
    Skut, Wojciech (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2005-11)
    This paper describes a grammar formalism and a deterministic parser developed for text normalisation in the rVoice1 text-to-speech (TTS) system. The rules are formulated using regular expressions and converted into a ...
  • Syntactic Contexts for Finding Semantically Related Words 
    Plas, Lonneke van der; Bouma, Gosse (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2005-11)
    Finding semantically related words is a first step in the direction of automatic ontology building. Guided by the view that similar words occur in similar contexts, we looked at the syntactic context of words to measure ...
  • Off-line Answer Extraction for Dutch QA 
    Mur, Jori (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2005-11)
    In Jijkoun et al. [2004] we showed that off-line answer extraction using syntactic patterns is a successful method for answering English factoid questions. In this paper I will discuss the results of applying this method ...
  • Learning Dutch Coreference Resolution 
    Hoste, Veronique; Daelemans, Walter (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2005-11)
    This paper presents a machine learning approach to the resolution of coreferential relations between nominal constituents in Dutch. It is the first significant automatic approach to the resolution of coreferential relations ...
  • Shallow Text Analysis and Machine Learning for Authorship Attribtion 
    Luyckx, Kim; Daelemans, Walter (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2005-11)
    Current advances in shallow parsing and machine learning allow us to use results from these fields in a methodology for Authorship Attribution. We report on experiments with a corpus that consists of newspaper articles ...
  • Trailfinder: A Case Study in Extracting Spatial Information Using Deep Language Processing 
    Hellan, Lars; Beermann, Dorothee; Atle Gulla, Jon; Prange, Atle (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2005-11)
    The present paper reports on an end-to-end application using a deep processing grammar to extract spatial and temporal information of prepositional and adverbial expressions from running text. The extraction process is ...
  • Argument Realization in Dutch 
    Van Eynde, Frank (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2005-11)
    The treatment of argument realization is rather straightforward for a language like English, but for a language with relatively free word order, such as Dutch, it is a complex matter. It is not surprising then that the ...
  • Accentuation of Adpositions and Particles in a Text-to-Speech System for Dutch 
    Grégoire, Nicole (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2005-11)
    In this paper I propose an accent placement algorithm that locates accents on adpositions and particles for the use in a Dutch text-to-speech (TTS) system. The algorithm is intended to be a refinement of the rule that ...
  • Between VP Adjuncts and Second Pole in Dutch : A corpus based survey regarding the complements between VP adjuncts and second pole in Dutch 
    Van de Cruys, Tim (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2005-11)
    In Dutch, verbs are situated at fixed places in the sentence. Those places are called the first and second pole. VP adjuncts seem to function as some kind of pivot place in between these poles. This article investigates, ...
  • Phases and Complexity in Phrase Structure Building 
    Chesi, Christiano (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2005-11)
    The Minimalist Program (Chomsky 1995–2001) sketches a model that aims to be empirically adequate and theoretically motivated but that does not fit in any clear way with specific performance algorithms such as parsing or ...
  • Query-Based Summarization using Rhetorical Structure Theory 
    Bosma, Wauter (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2005-11)
    Research on Question Answering is focused mainly on classifying the question type and finding the answer. Presenting the answer in a way that suits the user’s needs has received little attention. This paper shows how ...
  • Automatic Summarization of Meeting Data: A Feasibility Study 
    Hendrik Buist, Anne; Kraaij, Wessel; Raaijmakers, Stephan (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2005-11)
    The disclosure of audio-visual meeting recordings is a new challenging domain studied by several large scale research projects in Europe and the US. Automatic meeting summarization is one of the functionalities studied. ...
  • When the Hothead Speaks : Simulated Annealing Optimality Theory for Dutch Fast Speech 
    Biró, Tamas (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2005-11)
