Semantic relation identification for consecutive predicative constituents in Chinese
Tập 3 Số 1 - 2017
Age-related differences in the acceptability of non-canonical word orders in Mandarin Chinese
Tập 4 - Trang 1-25 - 2018
Prior theoretical and experimental work has demonstrated that the
subject-object-verb (SOV) word order is more restricted and more difficult to
process than the object-subject-verb (OSV) word order in Chinese. However, few
studies have investigated the actual acceptability of non-canonical, verb-final
word orders among native speakers. In this study, we conducted a paper-based
survey with a group ...
Exhaustive semantic activation for reading ambiguous verbs in Chinese sentences
Tập 1 - Trang 1-23 - 2015
Studies of lexical ambiguity resolution in sentential contexts have not
sufficiently considered the relatedness among an ambiguous word’s meanings as a
predicting factor for semantic activation. To better understand the relation
between lexical access and discourse processing and the effect of semantic
relatedness on lexical ambiguity resolution, a cross-modal lexical priming
experiment focusing o...
Linking constructions in Mayrinax Atayal
Tập 3 - Trang 1-47 - 2017
This study investigated and examined linking constructions in Mayrinax Atayal.
Although in the literature, linkers are categorized as either complementizers or
aspectual heads, their syntactic behaviors and statuses have not been fully
probed and analyzed. From minimalist and cartographic viewpoints, this paper
will divide Mayrinax linking constructions into three classes with respect to
their dis...
Grammatical roles, Coherence Relations, and the interpretation of pronouns in Chinese
Tập 2 - Trang 1-20 - 2016
This paper reports on an experimental study of the interpretation of pronouns in
Chinese which provides additional support for the proposal in Yang et al. (1999,
2003) that the resolution of pronominal reference in Chinese is more influenced
by syntactic information than often assumed in approaches to discourse anaphora
in Chinese such as Li and Thompson (1979), Givon (1983), Chen (1986),
Christen...
A typology of lexical borrowing in Modern Standard Chinese
Tập 4 - Trang 1-32 - 2018
The question of how best to classify Modern Standard Chinese loanwords is rather
a fraught one. Various principles of categorization have been proposed in the
literature; however, previous classification systems have generally covered only
a relatively small proportion of all loanwords currently in use. Even attempts
to provide an exhaustive catalog of lexical borrowing strategies have often been
...
Geometric analysis of concept vectors based on similarity values
Tập 3 - Trang 1-23 - 2017
In this paper, we offer a geometric framework for the computing of a concept’s
conceptual vector based on its similarity position with other concepts in a
vector space called concept space, which is a set of concept vectors together
with a distance function derived from a similarity model. We show that there
exists an isometry to map a concept space to a Euclidean space. So, the concept
vector can...
Extracting Chinese polarity shifting patterns from massive text corpora
Tập 2 - Trang 1-22 - 2016
In sentiment analysis, polarity shifting means shifting the polarity of a
sentiment clue that expresses emotion, evaluation, etc. Compared with other
natural language processing (NLP) tasks, extracting polarity shifting patterns
from corpora is a challenging one because the methods used to shift polarity are
flexible, which often invalidates fully automatic approaches. In this study,
which aimed t...
Interpreting 都 to 1 TO in earlier Southern Min texts
Tập 1 - Trang 1-18 - 2015
The paper explores the polyfunctional word 都 to 1 TO in early Southern Min texts
dating back to the sixteenth century or even earlier. Unlike 都 dou 1 in
Mandarin, which mainly functions as a maximality operator, 都 to 1 in Southern
Min is chiefly used as a modal particle expressing a concessive meaning or
meaning of unexpectedness as a type of conventional implicature rather than
pragmatic inferenc...
