Jahrestagung der DGfS AG 1: Strong versus weak prosodic position: possible variation and relevance for grammar Renate Raffelsiefen (IDS Mannheim, FU Berlin) and Marzena Zygis (ZAS & HU Berlin) Both phoneticians and phonologists have found reason to distinguish ”strong”and ”weakpp- ositions referring to constituents of the prosodic hierarchy, including higher constituents, whose boundaries align with morphosyntactic boundaries, as well as lower constituents such as foot and syllable. Strength is commonly associated with initial positions and with stress whereas weakness is associated with non-prominent positions. Reference to strong versus weak positions has been invoked in articulatory phonetics (target overshoot, i.e. enhancement of the duration and/or magnitude of articulatory gestures, in strong positions versus target undershoot in weak position) as well as auditory phonetics (lower rate of misperception in strong positions versus higher rate in weak position). It has also been invoked to account for potential contrast, more distinctiveness being associated with strong positions (cf. the notions of positional faithfulness”and positional markedness”in Optimality Theory). Although reference to ”strong”versus ”weakpositions appears to be universally grounded in prominence and although it seems to be taken for granted that positions considered strong for the purpose of one area of phonetics or phonology implies strength for the purpose of others there is evidence for disparity. For instance, the word-initial position is associated with strong potential contrast by Beckman (1998), whereas Trubezkoy links both margin positions of words to low contrastiveness (e.g. neutralization of the voicing contrast for all consonants in word-initial position in Erza-Mordwin, Trubetzkoy 1958: 212ff). Similarly, the word-initial position is associated with target overshoot (e.g. aspiration of voiceless plosives) in English or German, but also exhibits fewer contrasts in fricatives than for instance the foot-internal position. The latter nonetheless exhibits target undershoot (flapping in American English). In view of these discrepancies, the workshop will provide a forum for phonologists and pho- neticians to discuss associations between segmental phenomena and prosodic positions from a cross-linguistic point of view, focusing on questions like: - Which prosodic positions need to be distinguished in terms of weakness versus strength to account for what sort of phenomenon (enhancement of articulatory gestures, perceptual discriminability, potential contrast). - To what extent do these phenomena overlap? - Is there evidence that weak versus strong po- sitions could be language-specific? - What are the implications for the modeling of grammar, e.g. is there a need to distinguish a phonemic level (contrast) from phonetics, the latter modeled as implementation? 7 37. Jahrestagung der DGfS AG 2: Exact repetition in grammar and discourse Rita Finkbeiner Ulrike Freywald FB 05, Deutsches Institut Institut für Germanistik Universität Mainz Universität Potsdam Jakob-Welder-Weg 18 Am Neuen Palais 10 55099 Mainz 14469 Potsdam fi[email protected] [email protected] Tel. 06131-39 25512 / Fax 06131-39 23366 Tel. 0331-977 4221 / Fax 0331-977 4245 Most linguists will agree that iteration is a pervasive phenomenon in language and an im- portant notion for linguistic analysis. Traditionally, the process of repetition is related to the domains of text and discourse, and associated with specific pragmatic effects (e.g., emphasis), while the process of reduplication is restricted to the domains of phonology and morpholo- gy, and associated with specific semantic effects (e.g., intensification). In phonological and syntactic theory, reduplication has mainly been discussed as a local copying process, while in typology, it has been described as a morphological marker of inflection or word formation. Repetition phenomena, in contrast, have been claimed to apply above word level. In interac- tional linguistics, the focus has been on functions of repetition such as marking of agreement and disagreement. In recent years, however, one has come to realize that the borderline

    LA SITUACION LINGUISTICA EN GRECIA. PROBLEMAS Y PERSPECTIVAS' Pedro BADENAS DE LA PENA C.S.I.C. Madrid El proceso de una integración económica, política y cultural europea, derivado del actual grado de desarrollo de la CEE, está permitiendo que asistamos a un redescubrimiento de la gran complejidad que se esconde tras el fácil, e inexacto, cliché de la supuesta "homogeneidad" eurooccidental. En primer lugar, conviene ya relegar el concepto de "occidental" para lo que realmente denota, una mera distribución geográfica. Su extensión a otros terrenos no deja de ser una manipulación semántica, más o menos interesada. Si por algo se caracteriza Europa es por ser un mosaico lingüístico, surgido y moldeado históricamente por tres culturas diferenciadas -latina, germánica y eslava- pero procedentes de una cepa común: el mundo grecorromano. Este pasado esencial de lo que podríamos llamar civilización europea es, ya en su misma raíz, doble. El carácter dual del Imperio Romano obedecía, entre otras razones, a una división lingüística: uso del latín en la pars Occidentis y del griego en la pars Orientis, división que se ahondaría desde la Alta Edad Media cuando definitivamente Roma y Bizancio se conviertan en focos opuestos de irradiación cultural. La función civilizadora de la lengua griega (v. mapa 1) condicionó decisivamente, a través de Bizancio, a los pueblos eslavos, pero de manera muy distinta a como actuó el latín en Occidente. El resultado más evidente lo tenemos en la fragmentación románica, mientras que el griego no llegó a ese proceso y permaneció como área lingüísitica unitaria. Dentro del ámbito lingüístico indoeuropeo -en Europa- el griego, como el aibanés, no han dado, pues, lugar a nuevas lenguas.

    Comparative Evaluation of Collocation Extraction Metrics

    Comparative Evaluation of Collocation Extraction Metrics Aristomenis Thanopoulos, Nikos Fakotakis, George Kokkinakis Wire Communications Laboratory Electrical & Computer Engineering Dept., University of Patras 265 00 Rion, Patras, Greece {aristom,fakotaki,gkokkin}@wcl.ee.upatras.gr Abstract Corpus-based automatic extraction of collocations is typically carried out employing some statistic indicating concurrency in order to identify words that co-occur more often than expected by chance. In this paper we are concerned with some typical measures such as the t-score, Pearson’s χ-square test, log-likelihood ratio, pointwise mutual information and a novel information theoretic measure, namely mutual dependency. Apart from some theoretical discussion about their correlation, we perform comparative evaluation experiments judging performance by their ability to identify lexically associated bigrams. We use two different gold standards: WordNet and lists of named-entities. Besides discovering that a frequency-biased version of mutual dependency performs the best, followed close by likelihood ratio, we point out some implications that usage of available electronic dictionaries such as the WordNet for evaluation of collocation extraction encompasses. dependence, several metrics have been adopted by the 1. Introduction corpus linguistics community. Typical statistics are Collocational information is important not only for the t-score (TSC), Pearson’s χ-square test (χ2), log- second language learning but also for many natural likelihood ratio (LLR) and pointwise mutual language processing tasks. Specifically, in natural information (PMI). However, usually no systematic language generation and machine translation it is comparative evaluation is accomplished. For example, necessary to ensure generation of lexically correct Kita et al. (1993) accomplish partial and intuitive expressions; for example, “strong”, unlike “powerful”, comparisons between metrics, while Smadja (1993) modifies “coffee” but not “computers”.
  • Collocation Extraction Using Parallel Corpus

    Collocation Extraction Using Parallel Corpus

    Collocation Extraction Using Parallel Corpus Kavosh Asadi Atui1 Heshaam Faili1 Kaveh Assadi Atuie2 (1)NLP Laboratory, Electrical and Computer Engineering Dept., University of Tehran, Iran (2)Electrical Engineering Dept., Sharif University of Technology, Iran [email protected],[email protected],[email protected] ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel method to extract the collocations of the Persian language using a parallel corpus. The method is applicable having a parallel corpus between a target language and any other high-resource one. Without the need for an accurate parser for the target side, it aims to parse the sentences to capture long distance collocations and to generate more precise results. A training data built by bootstrapping is also used to rank the candidates with a log-linear model. The method improves the precision and recall of collocation extraction by 5 and 3 percent respectively in comparison with the window-based statistical method in terms of being a Persian multi-word expression. KEYWORDS: Information and Content Extraction, Parallel Corpus, Under-resourced Languages Proceedings of COLING 2012: Posters, pages 93–102, COLING 2012, Mumbai, December 2012. 93 1 Introduction Collocation is usually interpreted as the occurrence of two or more words within a short space in a text (Sinclair, 1987). This definition however is not precise, because it is not possible to define a short space. It also implies the strategy that all traditional models had. They were looking for co- occurrences rather than collocations (Seretan, 2011). Consider the following sentence and its Persian translation1: "Lecturer issued a major and also impossible to solve problem." مدرس یک مشکل بزرگ و غیر قابل حل را عنوان کرد.

    dish2vec: A Comparison of Word Embedding Methods in an Unsupervised Setting Guus Verstegen Student Number: 481224 11th June 2019 Erasmus University Rotterdam Erasmus School of Economics Supervisor: Dr. M. van de Velden Second Assessor: Dr. F. Frasincar Master Thesis Econometrics and Management Science Business Analytics and Quantitative Marketing Abstract While the popularity of continuous word embeddings has increased over the past years, detailed derivations and extensive explanations of these methods lack in the academic literature. This paper elaborates on three popular word embedding meth- ods; GloVe and two versions of word2vec: continuous skip-gram and continuous bag-of-words. This research aims to enhance our understanding of both the founda- tion and extensions of these methods. In addition, this research addresses instability of the methods with respect to the hyperparameters. An example in a food menu context is used to illustrate the application of these word embedding techniques in quantitative marketing. For this specific case, the GloVe method performs best according to external expert evaluation. Nevertheless, the fact that GloVe performs best is not generalizable to other domains or data sets due to the instability of the models and the evaluation procedure.

There are many methods of segmentation for text processing, including: topic segmentation, sentence segmentation, morpheme segmentation, phoneme segmentation, and Chinese text segmentation. Rule-based, statistical and hybrid methods are employed to perform the segmentation. This dissertation introduces a new type of segmentation– collocation segmentation–and a new method to perform it, and applies them to three different text processing tasks: – Lexicography. Collocation segmentation makes possible the use of large corpora to evaluate the usage and importance of terminology over time. It highlights important methodological changes in the history of research and allows actual research trends throughout history to be rediscovered. Such an analysis is applied to the ACL Anthology Reference Corpus of scientific papers published during the last 50 years in this research area. – Text categorization. Text categorization results can be improved using collocation segmen- tation. The study shows that collocation segmentation, without any other language resources, achieves better results than the widely used n-gram techniques together with POS (Part-of- Speech) processing tools.

    Automatic Document Timestamping Kristoffer Berg Gumpen Øyvind Nygard Master of Science in Computer Science Submission date: June 2017 Supervisor: Kjetil Nørvåg, IDI Norwegian University of Science and Technology Department of Computer Science Abstract When searching for information, the temporal dimension of the results is an important fac- tor regarding the information quality. Using temporal intent as a condition when searching for information is a field that is gaining increasing interest. When we search for informa- tion on search engines, such as Google, we have the option to use time of creation as a part of the search criteria. Unfortunately, when searching on the web we have no guarantee that the timestamps for the results corresponds to the actual date the content was created. Since the timestamps provided on the Internet can not be trusted it would be of great use if there existed a method for timestamping documents without knowing the actual date of creation. In this thesis, we have presented and implemented some existing approaches to this problem, modified them and added some parameters for tweaking and fine tuning the results. These approaches are so called content based approaches, and they use sta- tistical analysis on the textual contents of documents in a collection in order to predict a document’s time of origin. In order to evaluate our implementation, we have performed extensive experiments and compared our results with results achieved in earlier research.
