  • The Distribution of Weak and Strong Object Reflexives in Dutch 
    Bouma, Gosse; Spenader, Jennifer (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2008-11)
    We use a syntactically annotated corpus to study the distribution of strong and weak reflexive objects in Dutch. Whereas previous work was limited to a small set of accidental reflexive verbs, we look at all transitive ...
  • Automatic Annotation of Morpho-Syntactic Dependencies in a Modern Hebrew Treebank 
    Guthmann, Noemie; Krymolowski, Yuval; Milea, Adi; Winter, Yoad (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2008-11)
    "Morpho-syntactic dependencies between sentence constituents are an inseparable part of syntactic analysis, in particular in Semitic languages. In those languages, because of the relatively free order of certain constituents, ...
  • A Data-Driven Dependency Parser for Romanian 
    Călăcean, Mihaela; Nivre, Joakim (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2008-11)
    We present the first data-driven dependency parser for Romanian, which has been developed using the MaltParser system and trained and evaluated on a dependency treebank for Romanian developed within the RORIC-LING project. ...
  • A Quechua-Spanish Parallel Treebank 
    Rios, Annette; Göhring, Anne; Volk, Martin (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2008-11)
    "Most treebank work in the past has focused on European and Asian languages. The Wikipedia Treebank page lists treebanks (or treebank projects) for about 20 modern European languages (ranging from Basque to Swedish), ...
  • MonaSearch - A Tool for Querying Linguistic Treebanks 
    Maryns, Hendrik; Kepser, Stephan (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2008-11)
    MonaSearch is a new powerful query tool for linguistic treebanks. The query language of MonaSearch is monadic second-order logic, an extension of first-order logic capable of expressing probably all linguistically ...
  • Constructing a Valence Lexicon for a Treebank of German 
    Hinrichs, Erhard W.; Telljohann, Heike (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2008-11)
    "Treebanks allow for the creation of a valence lexicon per side effect. The TüBa-D/Z valence lexicon has been created in lockstep with the development of the TüBa- D/Z treebank as such. For each verb encountered in the ...
  • A Testsuite for Testing Parser Performance on Complex German Grammatical Constructions 
    Kübler, Sandra; Rehbein, Ines; Genabith, Josef van (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2008-11)
    "Traditionally, parsers are evaluated against gold standard test data. This can cause problems if there is a mismatch between the data structures and representations used by the parser and the gold standard. A particular ...
  • Linguistic Annotation for Valence Acquisition and for its Evaluation 
    Przepiórkowski, Adam (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2008-11)
    Valence acquisition is the task consisting in the automatic extraction (learning) of subcategorisation – or argument structure – from corpora. In this talk I will concentrate on two issues. The first issue is: how much ...
  • Computational Linguistics in the Netherlands 2007 : Selected papers from the eighteenth CLIN meeting (CLIN 2007) 
    Verberne, Suzan; Halteren, Hans van; Coppen, Peter-Arno (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2008-11)
    This book contains a selection of the papers presented at the eighteenth edition of the Computational Linguistics in the Netherlands (CLIN) conference. The 18th CLIN edition took place at the Radboud University Nijmegen ...
  • Treebanks and Evolutionary Simulation for Explaining Typlogical Patterns 
    Malouf, Robert (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2008-11)
    Recent work in Evolutionary Phonology (Blevins 2005, 2006, Blevins & Wedel 2008, Yu 2007, among others) has developed alternate explanations for typological universals or tendencies found across the sound systems ...
  • In response to your inquiry : Automatic e-mail answer suggestion in a Dutch Contact Centre 
    Boedeltje, Michel; Hessen, Arjan van (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2008-11)
    In the past years, the number of service requests through e-mail has shown an explosive growth, forcing companies and government to set-up contact centres in order to handle these e-mails. Equal to most telephony services ...
  • Automatic Synonymy Extraction : A Comparison of Syntactic Context Models 
    Heylen, Kris; Peirsman, Yves; Geeraerts, Dirk (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2008-11)
    Distributional models of lexical semantics identify semantically similar words through contextual similarity. Previous studies have shown that syntactic contexts are especially good at finding (near) synonyms. In this ...
  • Improving the lexical coverage of English compound adjectives : Improving the lexical coverage of English compound adjectives in syntactic parsing 
    Oostdijk, Nelleke (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2008-11)
    The present paper addresses the question how in syntactic parsing the coverage of words in previously unseen text may be improved. The adjectives in English are presented here as a case study. Working on the assumption ...
  • Features for automatic discourse analysis of paragraphs 
    Theijssen, Daphne; Halteren, Hans van; Verberne, Suzan; Boves, Lou (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2008-11)
    In this paper, we investigate which information is useful for the detection of rhetorical (RST) relations between (Multi-) Sentential Discourse Units ((M-)SDUs) – text spans consisting of one or more sentences – within ...
  • Aligning linguistically motivated phrases 
    Macken, Lieve; Daelemans, Walter (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2008-11)
    In this paper, we describe the architecture of a sub-sentential alignment system that links linguistically motivated phrases in parallel texts. We conceive our sub-sentential aligner as a cascade model consisting of two ...
  • Detecting semantic overlap : A parallel monolingual treebank for Dutch 
    Marsi, Erwin; Krahmer, Emiel (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2008-11)
    This paper describes an ongoing effort to build a large-scale monolingual treebank of parallel/ comparable Dutch text, where nodes of syntax trees are aligned and labeled according to a small set of semantic similarity ...
  • Putting the t where it belongs : Solving a confusion problem in Dutch 
    Stehouwer, Herman; Bosch, Antal van den (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2008-11)
    A common Dutch writing error is to confuse a word ending in -d with a neighbor word ending in -dt. In this paper we describe the development of a machine-learning-based disambiguator that can determine which word ending ...
