Proceedings of Human Language Technologies: The 2009 Annual Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics, Companion Volume: Short Papers on - NAACL '09, 2009
In this paper we compare three approaches to adverbial positioning using lexical, syntactic, semantic and sentence-level features.

Determining Noun Phrases in Tok Pisin

Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages, 1991
It is well known that since neither the inflectional morphemes nor most of the closed-class items of the lexifier language survive in pidgins, grammatical distinctions are not obligatorily marked. We thus find a large number of unmodified nouns and verbs.

The semantics of determiners and determiner phrases (DPs) in Okanagan Salish is largely unknown, and apart from N. Mattina’s (2006) study of Moses-Columbian determiners, there are no other systematic investigations into the semantics of determiners for Southern Interior Salish languages.

The goal of this paper is to provide the formal basis for a new approach to modelling the application of vague predicates like tall and bald to plural subjects like John and Mary and the men. In other words, we are interested in developing a new logical analysis for natural language sentences like Mary is tall and The men are bald. In the past 30 years,

Adjective Placement In Code-Switched Determiner Phrases

2020
The present study examines the relative order of noun-adjective sequences within code-switched Determiner Phrases. Several hypotheses have been considered: is this a property defined by the determiner (Bartlett, 2013), the noun (Arnaus et al., 2012) or the adjective (Cantone & MacSwan, 2009)? Or on the contrary, if a carrier phrase is present, does
