  • Building a 50M Corpus of Tajik Language
    Building a 50M Corpus of Tajik Language Gulshan Dovudov1, Jan Pomikálek2, Vít Suchomel1, Pavel Šmerk1 1 Natural Language Processing Centre Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University Botanická 68a, 602 00 Brno, Czech Republic {xdovudov,xsuchom2,xsmerk}@fi.muni.cz 2 Lexical Computing Ltd. 73 Freshfield Road, Brighton, UK [email protected] Abstract. Paper presents by far the largest available computer corpus of Tajik Language of the size of more than 50 million words. To obtain the texts for the corpus two different approaches were used. The paper brings a description of both of them, discusses their advantages and disadvantages and shows some statistics of the two respective partial corpora. Then the paper characterizes the resulting joined corpus and finally discusses some possible future improvements. 1 Introduction Tajik language is a variant of the Persian language spoken mainly in Tajikistan and also in some few other parts of Central Asia. Unlike Iranian Persian, Tajik is written in the Cyrillic alphabet. Since the Tajik language internet society (and consequently the potential market) is rather small and Tajikistan itself is ranked among developing countries, there are almost no resources for computational processing of Tajik at all. Namely the computer corpora of Tajik language are either small or even still only in the stage of planning or development. The University of Helsinky offers a very small corpus of 87 654 words.1 Megerdoomian and Parvaz [3,2] mention a test corpus of approximately 500 000 words, and the biggest and the only freely available corpus is offered within the Leipzig Corpora Collection project [4] and consists of 100 000 Tajik sentences which equals to almost 1.8 million words.2 Iranian linguist Hamid Hassani is said to be preparing a 1 1 http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/uhlcs/readme-all/README-indo-european-lgs.html 2 Unfortunately, the encoding and/or transliteration vary greatly: more than 5 % of sentences are in Latin script, almost 10 % of sentences seem to use Russian characters instead of Tajik specific characters (e.g.

  • Moral Responsibility and Types of Moral Responsibility
    Science Arena Publications International Journal of Philosophy and Social-Psychological Sciences ISSN: 2414-5343 Available online at www.sciarena.com 2019, Vol, 5 (3): 41-58 Moral Responsibility and Types of Moral Responsibility Reza Arian Moghaddam M.A. in Islamic Ethics, Department of Philosophy of Ethics, School of Theology and Islamic Studies, University of Qom, Qom, Iran. Abstract: The issue of "moral responsibility" is one of the most significant moral issues that has caught the attention of moral philosophers. In the course of history of moral discussions, many issues have been debated on the meaning of responsibility, its conditions and properties of the responsible man. The importance of this issue becomes understood when we pay attention to its relationship with some philosophic-theological discussions as well as the data of natural sciences and humanities. This issue from one perspective is intertwined with such issues as causality, determinism and volition. On other hand, it is interrelated with such vital theological issues as omniscience and omnipotence of God and divine providence. The despisers of moral responsibility struggle to prove through different proofs that human actions are contingent upon the conditions and modes that do not need any other reason. Moreover, they seek to demonstrate that human will has no role in their existence or absence. Determinists provide certain reasons in order to prove their claims in this regard. Some of these scholars deny human will and moral responsibility based on the law of causality. Some others have become bogged down in determinism due to their defected understanding of religious doctrines like Absolute Power (omnipotence), omniscience and divine providence.

The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Professor of Computational Linguistics Jan Hajic (Charles University in Prague). Abstract Seraji, M. 2015. Morphosyntactic Corpora and Tools for Persian. Studia Linguistica Upsaliensia 16. 191 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-554-9229-8. This thesis presents open source resources in the form of annotated corpora and modules for automatic morphosyntactic processing and analysis of Persian texts. More specifically, the resources consist of an improved part-of-speech tagged corpus and a dependency treebank, as well as tools for text normalization, sentence segmentation, tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, and dependency parsing for Persian. In developing these resources and tools, two key requirements are observed: compatibility and reuse. The compatibility requirement encompasses two parts. First, the tools in the pipeline should be compatible with each other in such a way that the output of one tool is compatible with the input requirements of the next. Second, the tools should be compatible with the annotated corpora and deliver the same analysis that is found in these. The reuse requirement means that all the components in the pipeline are developed by reusing resources, standard methods, and open source state-of-the-art tools. This is necessary to make the project feasible. Given these requirements, the thesis investigates two main research questions.

The historical origins of tales popular in modern times, and of themes recurrent in stories from past times to present are analyzed, along with other factors which have shaped Persianate children‘s literature. The thesis begins with a historical and theoretical overview relating to change and continuity in Persianate children‘s literature. It examines the influence of ancient texts on modern Persianate children‘s stories. The cultural development reflected in the organizational infrastructure of institutions is also examined, as well as other contemporary influences, both social and political, in order to assess how these have affected modern Persianate children‘s literature. The contents of children‘s books are analyzed from different aspects, including their representation of social values.
