From Complex Sentences to a Formal Semantic Representation using Syntactic Text Simplification and Open Information Extraction
Sentences that present a complex linguistic structure act as a major stumbling block for Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications whose predictive quality deteriorates with sentence length and complexity. The task of Text Simplification (TS) may remedy this situation. It aims to modify …

A System for Natural Language Unmarked Clausal Transformations in Text-to-Text Applications
A system is proposed which separates clauses from complex sentences into simpler stand-alone sentences. This is useful as an initial step on raw text, where the resulting processed text may be fed into text-to-text applications such as Automatic Summarization, Question Answering, and Machine …

The unified plausibility parser : how story-understanding systems can read stories written for humans
… task of understanding ungrammatical and complex sentences may be tackled by leveraging the power of expectation. Genesis, a state of the art story understanding system, currently struggles to read any sentences that have not been written specically with it in mind, even when these …

An analysis of syntactic errors in sentence construction: a case study of selected undergraduate first-year English majors in a South African University
… of arranging words to form comprehensible sentences is governed by a set of rules, known as syntactic rules, which ensure that sentences are constructed coherently and convey concise meanings to readers. Some research studies conducted in South Africa and other countries have indicated that …

TEMPORAL PROPERTIES IN JAPANESE (TENSE, CONDITIONALS).
… focuses on the following sentence types: simple sentences, complex sentences (without conditional sentences), conditional complex sentences and sentences with an embedded clause. We will show here a few examples of problems as to temporal interpretations. In simple sentences, there are cases such …

Cohésion modale et subordination : Le conditionnel et le jussif finnois au miroir de la valeur sémantique et discursive du subjonctif français
… of subordinate moods in contexts beyond complex sentences. The data used for the analysis include 1834 complex sentences gathered from newspapers, online discussion groups and blog texts, as well as audio-recorded interviews and conversations. The data thus consist of both written and …

Word Order, Focus, and Clause Linking in Greek Tragic Poetry
… related to the structure of compound and complex sentences. The discussion undertakes a systematic survey of subject, verb, and object order in a corpus of texts, proposes an explanation for the observed order, and develops a model which explains how prominence within the clause is …

Retrieval mechanisms in sentence comprehension
… search mechanisms to understand syntactically complex sentences with multiple embeddings. Systematically designed sentence stimuli tested whether the relevant memory mechanism differs when reanalysis is required. Results indicated that sentence length and syntactic ambiguity affected overall …

Towards Knowledge Graph Construction From Unstructured Text with LLMs, Triple Identification and Alignment to Wikidata
… linking them to a structured KG. To tackle the complexity of natural language input, a novel preprocessing technique, Controlled Syntactic Simplification (CSynSim), is introduced. CSynSim analyses the syntactic structure of input sentences and applies a controlled "split and rewrite" strategy to …

Semantic pattern discovery in open information extraction

Transforming Free-Form Sentences into Sequence of Unambiguous Sentences with Large Language Model
… language programming, translating free-form sentences in natural language into a functional, machine-executable program remains difficult due to the following 4 challenges. First, the inherent ambiguity of natural languages. Second, the high-level verbose nature in user descriptions. Third, …

Towards Explainable Event Detection and Extraction
… events of interest and from those extracting the sentences that might contain the event related information. This task is challenging because it is easier to obtain labels at the document level than finegrained annotations at the sentence level. Current approaches for this task are suboptimal …

TransBooster:black box optimisation of machine translation systems
… when faced with long, linguistically complex sentences. Rule-based systems often trade a broad but shallow linguistic coverage for a deep, fine-grained analysis since hand-crafting rules based on detailed linguistic analyses is time-consuming, error-prone and expensive. Most datadriven …

A study of the relationship between auditory memory span and sentence repetition.
… Is the ability to repeat a grammatically complex sentence the result of mastery of the rules of the grammatical relations for that particular sentence form? Is the ability to repeat a grammatically complex sentence the result of a well-developed memory for word sequences? Is the ability to …

Information sequencing in modern standard Chinese
… principles behind the sequencing of clauses in complex sentences in MSC are sought. It is shown that the preferred unmarked sequence in these sentences is subordinate clause - main clause and it is argued that the'TOPIC-CO:MMENT' sequence is not being followed in these sentences. The general …
