Linguistic Complexity: Locality of Syntactic Dependencies
- COGNITION
, 1998
"... This paper proposes a new theory of the relationship between the sentence processing mechanism and the available computational resources. This theory -- the Syntactic Prediction Locality Theory (SPLT) -- has two components: an integration cost component and a component for the memory cost associa ..."

Automatic labeling of semantic roles
- Computational Linguistics
, 2002
"... We present a system for identifying the semantic relationships, or semantic roles, filled by constituents of a sentence within a semantic frame. Various lexical and syntactic features are derived from parse trees and used to derive statistical classifiers from hand-annotated training data. 1 ..."

We present a system for identifying the semantic relationships, or semantic roles, filled by constituents of a sentence within a semantic frame. Various lexical and syntactic features are derived from parse trees and used to derive statistical classifiers from hand-annotated training data. 1
A Study on Effectiveness of Syntactic Relationship in Dependence Retrieval Model
"... To relax the Term Independence Assumption, Term Dependency is introduced and it has improved retrieval precision dramatically. There are two kinds of term dependencies, one is defined by term proximity, and the other is defined by linguistic dependencies. In this paper, we take a comparative study t ..."

to re-examine these two kinds of term dependencies in dependence language model framework. Syntactic relationships, derived from a dependency parser, Minipar, are used as linguistic term dependencies. Our study shows: 1) Linguistic dependencies get a better result than term proximity. 2) Dependence
Grounding language in action
- Psychonomic Bulletin & Review
, 2002
"... We report a new phenomenon associated with language comprehension: the action–sentence compatibility effect (ACE). Participants judged whether sentences were sensible by making a response that required moving toward or away from their bodies. When a sentence implied action in one direction (e.g., “C ..."

of sentences to human action. How language conveys meaning remains an open question. The dominant approach is to treat language as a symbol manipulation system: Language conveys meaning by using abstract, amodal, and arbitrary symbols (i.e., words) combined by syntactic rules (e.g., Burgess & Lund, 1997
A.: Learning syntactic patterns for automatic hypernym discovery.
- Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems
, 2004
"... Abstract Semantic taxonomies such as WordNet provide a rich source of knowledge for natural language processing applications, but are expensive to build, maintain, and extend. Motivated by the problem of automatically constructing and extending such taxonomies, in this paper we present a new algori ..."

Incremental interpretation at verbs: Restricting the domain of subsequent reference.
- Cognition,
, 1999
"... Abstract Participants' eye movements were recorded as they inspected a semi-realistic visual scene showing a boy, a cake, and various distractor objects. Whilst viewing this scene, they heard sentences such as`the boy will move the cake' or`the boy will eat the cake'. The cake was th ..."

sentence processing is driven by the predictive relationships between verbs, their syntactic arguments, and the real-world contexts in which they occur. q
SELECTION AND INFORMATION: A CLASS-BASED APPROACH TO LEXICAL RELATIONSHIPS
, 1993
"... Selectional constraints are limitations on the applicability of predicates to arguments. For example, the statement “The number two is blue” may be syntactically well formed, but at some level it is anomalous — BLUE is not a predicate that can be applied to numbers. According to the influential theo ..."

Semantic classes and syntactic ambiguity

, 1993

The space of classes ..."

Two Related Lexico-Syntactic Approaches to Entailment
"... Two approaches to Textual Entailment are presented. They both rely on lexicosyntactic information. The two approaches differ mainly in the way the syntactic relationships are derived. In one approach, the syntactic relationships are drawn from a phrase-based parse tree. In the other, we use informat ..."
