The syntax and prosody of interrogatives: evidence from varieties spoken in northern Italy by Hack, F

“…The syntactic analysis is couched within the cartographic approach and the prosodic analysis is based on Autosegmental-Metrical Phonology.…”

Transcoding errors of two-digit numbers from Arabic digits into verbal numbers and from verbal numbers into Arabic digits by Arab first graders by Ganayim, D, Ganayim, S, Dowker, A, Olkun, S

“…The study focuses on the effect of the lexical-syntactic structure on the patterns of errors by Arab first graders in tasks involving reading two-digit number and writing two-digit numbers to dictation. …”

Does impaired grammatical comprehension provide evidence for an innate grammar module? by Norbury, C, Bishop, D, Briscoe, J

“…However, the pattern of errors on syntactic tasks and the relatively weak correlation between different indicators of syntactic deficit seemed incompatible with a modular hypothesis. …”

Definition and Expansion of Composite Automata in IOA by Tauber, Joshua A., Garland, Stephen J.

“…Section 5 treats IOA programsfor composite I/O automata: it introduces notations for describing the syntactic structures thatappear in these programs, describes resortings induced by them, and lists syntactic and semanticconditions that these programs must satisfy to represent valid composite I/O automata. …”

Ergativity in Tongan by Otsuka, Y

“…</p> <p>In Tongan, an ergative pattern exists also at the syntactic level: S and O are treated as equivalent in some syntactic operations such as relativisation and coordination. …”

Abstraction of Syntax by D'Silva, V, Kroening, D

“…We show that semantic abstractions and syntactic abstractions are different, and identify criteria for deriving semantic abstractions by purely syntactic means. …”

Toward a Principle-Based Translator by Dorr, Bonnie J.

“…A principle-based computational model of natural language translation consists of two components: (1) a module which makes use of a set of principles and parameters to transform the source language into an annotated surface form that can be easily converted into a "base" syntactic structure; and (2) a module which makes use of the same set of principles, but a different set of parameter values, to transform the "base" syntactic structure into the target language surface structure. …”

Hybrid pattern matching for complex ontology term recognition by Kim, Jung-jae., Tuan, Luu Anh.

“…Previous approaches of statistical analysis and syntactic pattern matching have such limitations that they do not consider relations between words and that their handcrafted patterns are expensive and show low coverage, respectively. …”

Does impaired grammatical comprehension provide evidence for an innate grammar module? by Courtenay Frazier Norbury, Dorothy V. M. Bishop, Josie Briscoe

“…However, the pattern of errors on syntactic tasks and the relatively weak correlation between different indicators of syntactic deficit seemed incompatible with a modular hypothesis. …”

Approaching the puzzle of the adjective by Acedo-Matellán, V

“…Other assumptions, framed within a syntactic approach to morphology, include: a universal recursive hierarchy of lexical categories; the idea that categorizers are simple lexical items relating a span of the categorial hierarchy to an exponent; the assumption that lexically and morphologically conditioned allomorphy is sensitive to stretches of the syntactic representation, rather than to exponents; and a rather flexible lexicalization procedure, one syntactic representation being mappable to different combinations of lexical items.…”

Building aspectual interpretations online by Husband, M, Stockall, L

“…Terminative syntactic structure and durative semantic interpretation are both costly.…”

Serial verb constructions in Barayin: Typology, description and lexical-functional grammar by Lovestrand, J

“…This dissertation examines a particular type of syntactic construction in the language, serial verb constructions, from the perspectives of typological (or comparative) syntax, descriptive grammar, and the formal syntactic theory of Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG). …”

Writing units or decades first in two digit numbers dictation tasks: the case of Arabic - an inverted language by Ganayim, D, Dowker, A

“…This study investigated the effect of educational level and of the syntactic representation of numbers in Arabic on the task of transcoding two-digit numbers from dictation. …”

Strategies in translating parallelism from english into Arabic in novel ' Moby Dick' by Anuar, Mohd Nor Ikbal

“…The study is guided by Chesterman’s (1997) syntactic strategy model and a contrastive analysis (CA) is also performed. …”

Does semantics aid syntax? An empirical study on named entity recognition and classification by Zhong, Xiaoshi, Cambria, Erik, Hussain, Amir

“…In this paper, we empirically examine whether named entity classification improves the performance of named entity recognition as an empirical case of examining whether semantics improves the performance of a syntactic task. To this end, we firstly specify the way to determine whether a linguistic task is a syntactic task or a semantic task according to both syntactic theory and semantic theory. …”

Reading strategies of average and weak ESL readers: a case study by Spykerman, Angeline

“…The findings shows that both groups of readers depended extensively on graphophonic cues and were less efficient in using syntactic and semantic cues. Qualitative analysis of the miscues show that when the readers did resort to the syntactic and semantic cues, the average readers produced better quality miscues. …”

An amazing four doctoral dissertations by Dalrymple, M, King, T

“…We examine the construction exemplified in the title, in which the singular indefinite determiner a is followed by an adjective, a numeral, and then unexpectedly a plural nominal. We discuss the syntactic structure of the construction, present new generalizations about its properties, and sketch a syntactic constructional analysis in the LFG framework.…”
