Conditions on Consistency of Probabilistic Tree Adjoining Grammars [PDF]
Much of the power of probabilistic methods in modelling language comes from their ability to compare several derivations for the same string in the language. An important starting point for the study of such cross-derivational properties is the notion of _consistency_.

Silent Signals in the Snow: Tracking the Spatio-Temporal Territorial Marking Behavior of Snow Leopards (Panthera uncia) in the Mountainous Region of Baltistan, Pakistan. [PDF]
Mammals exhibit complex social behaviors by utilizing various forms of communication such as visual cues, acoustic signals and olfactory sensations. The communication patterns within mammalian species play a crucial role in their behavioral ecology, ultimately influencing their overall health and survival.

Synchronous tree-adjoining grammars [PDF]
The unique properties of tree-adjoining grammars (TAG) present a challenge for the application of TAGs beyond the limited confines of syntax, for instance, to the task of semantic interpretation or automatic translation of natural language. We present a variant of TAGs, called synchronous TAGs, which characterize correspondences between languages.

Modeling the Induced Action Alternation and the Caused-Motion Construction with Tree Adjoining Grammar (TAG) and Semantic Frames [PDF]
The induced action alternation and the caused-motion construction are two phenomena that allow English verbs to be interpreted as motion-causing events.

Disfluencies, language comprehension, and Tree Adjoining Grammars [PDF]
AbstractDisfluencies include editing terms such as uh and um as well as repeats and revisions. Little is known about how disfluencies are processed, and there has been next to no research focused on the way that disfluencies affect structure‐building operations during comprehension.

Tree adjoining grammars mit Unifikation [PDF]
Tree Adjoining Grammars (TAGs) - as used in the parsing algorithm of Harbusch - can be improved with respect to compactness and transparency for the task of grammar design. We have combined the two formalisms Tree Adjoining Grammar and Unification in order to benefit from their respective advantages.

A syntax-semantics interface for Tree-Adjoining Grammars through Abstract Categorial Grammars
We present a model of the syntax-semantics interface for Tree-Adjoining Grammars (TAGs). It is based on the encoding of TAGs within the framework of Abstract Categorial Grammars (ACGs).

Constraining Tree Adjoining Grammars by unification [PDF]
In a proposal, Vijay-Shanker and Joshi presented a definition for combining the two formalisms Tree Adjoining Grammars and PATR unification. The essential idea for that combination is the separation of the two recursion operations - adjoining and unification - to preserve all properties of both formalisms which is not desirable for natural language ...

Lexical and syntactic rules in a Tree Adjoining Grammar [PDF]
Taking examples from English and French idioms, this paper shows that not only constituent structures rules but also most syntactic rules (such as topicalization, wh-question, pronominalization ...) are subject to lexical constraints (on top of syntactic, and possibly semantic, ones).

A Lexicalized Tree-Adjoining Grammar for Vietnamese [PDF]
In this paper, we present the first sizable grammar built for Vietnamese using LTAG, developed over the past two years, named vnLTAG. This grammar aims at modelling written language and is general enough to be both application- and domain-independent. It can be used for the morpho-syntactic tagging and syntactic parsing of Vietnamese texts, as well as ...
