Dependency-based Semantic Analysis of Natural-language Text
… of semantic role labeling is closely tied to syntactic analysis. Most previous implementations of semantic role labelers have used constituents as the syntactic input, while dependency representations, in which the syntactic structure is viewed as a graph of labeled word-to-word relations, has …

Acquisition of English morphosyntax : evidence from a Chinese-speaking child
… the “long-standing debate on the nature of syntactic representation in SLA” (Haznedar & Gavruseva, 2008:5). One line examines the relationship between morphological development and syntactic representations, namely, whether absence of surface morphology entails absence of the syntactic …

Event quantification and plurality
… over pluralities are introduced in the logical representation of natural languages sentences and how event operators manipulate these variables. Logical representations are read off syntactic structures, and among the elements I will claim are hidden in the syntactic representation of certain …

Deep Syntax in Statistical Machine Translation
Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) via deep syntactic transfer employs a three-stage architecture, (i) parse source language (SL) input, (ii) transfer SL deep syntactic structure to the target language (TL), and (iii) generate a TL translation. The deep syntactic transfer architecture achieves a …

Lexical-syntactic representations in bilingual sentence production
… for a review). Recently, it has been shown that syntactic structures can also be primed between both languages of a bilingual (Hartsuiker et al., 2004; Schoonbaert et al. 2007; Salamoura & Williams, 2007). Hartsuiker et al. (2004) therefore concluded that syntactic representations can be shared …

The acquisition of tense and agreement by early child second language learners
… observe the development of verb inflections and syntactic competence over time from an early stage by Chinese child L2 learners of English. The second is to determine the similarities and differences in the acquisition of verb inflections by comparing child L2 learners of this study with child L1 …

Minimal supervision for language learning: bootstrapping global patterns from local knowledge
… Each step depends on prior lexical and syntactic knowledge. Where do children begin in solving this problem when learning their first languages? To experiment with different representations that children may use to begin understanding language, we have built a computational model for …

Persons, imposters, and monsters
This dissertation is about person features, their representation and interpretation in natural language. I will argue that there are several ways in which person features can be represented and interpreted. Most importantly, I will provide evidence for a kind of person features that are parts of …

Implicit learning as a mechanism for syntactic acquisition and processing: Evidence from syntactic priming.
… mechanisms that infer knowledge from input? Syntactic priming offers an experimental paradigm that can test different theories of syntactic acquisition. Presenting a prime sentence of a particular syntactic structure (e.g., the passive: the swimmer was eaten by a crocodile) tends to increase …

Investigating Tree- and Graph-based Neural Networks for Natural Language Processing Applications
… Language Processing (NLP), the integration of syntactic and semantic elements stands as a pivotal frontier. This investigation delves into incorporating both syntactic and semantic dimensions within NLP applications. By leveraging tree- and graph-based neural networks, this study pioneers a …
