Automatic syntactic analysis of learner English
Automatic syntactic analysis is essential for extracting useful information from large-scale learner data for linguistic research and natural language processing (NLP). Currently, researchers use standard POS taggers and parsers developed on native language to analyze learner language. …

HUU-FA THESIS DAT?: A Syntactic Analysis of Possessive Jamaican Creole Possessive WH-elements
<p>This thesis discusses the differences between the Jamaican Creole expressions huu-fa and fi-huu. Jamaican Creole is a language that was born from a combination of the lexifier language English and the substrate language Twi, therefore it is reasonable to check whether the features of JC were …

You Heard the New Theory?: A Syntactic Analysis of Null Subjects and Null Auxiliaries in English
… subjects or auxiliary verbs in English. This analysis focuses on the syntactic conditions which license these deletion processes, noting that these elements can only under go deletion only if they have also undergone movement to the left periphery. However, syntactic considerations alone …

Connectives in Igbo: A syntactic analysis of connectives in the Standard Igbo and the Nsukka dialect
… the connectives in both varieties and conduct a syntactic comparative analysis, thereby adding to the existing connectives in the literature. This work explores connectives in the Standard Igbo and the Nsukka Dialect and their similarities. It also highlights the difference between connectives in …

Automated Grammatical Tagging of Language Samples from Children with and without Language Impairment
… of words in language samples is a component of syntactic analysis for both clinical and research purposes. Previous studies have shown that probability-based software can be used to tag samples from adults and typically-developing children with high (about 95%) accuracy. The present study found …

Aspects of morphology and syntax of negation in Greek sign language
… employs in order to express negation. The data analysis presented is based on natural data provided by Deaf informants. The initial pilot study provided elicited data, which was subsequently used to confirm the findings of the study. As with other sign languages, analysis shows that Greek Sign …

Sentence Simplification for Text Processing
Propositional density and syntactic complexity are two features of sentences which affect the ability of humans and machines to process them effectively. In this thesis, I present a new approach to automatic sentence simplification which processes sentences containing compound clauses and complex …

A comparison of designs for extensible and extension-oriented compilers
… interface in terms of extension structure, syntactic analysis, semantic analysis, and rewriting. To perform the comparison, this thesis uses three extensions implemented variously in the four compilers: a bitwise rotation operator, function expressions, and lock checking. These extensions …

Conditional sentences within the Arab grammatical tradition
… Arabic grammar. The study involves a linguistic analysis; investiga theorizing and evaluating the majority of the Arab grammarians' views on the topic concerned throughout thirteen centuries. This work consists of five chapters. The first chapter is concerned with examining and evaluating several …

Memory limitations in sentence comprehension
… the number of discourse referents, not the syntactic structural complexity. We conclude that the syntactic analysis plays a significant role in memory requirements of parsing. An incremental top-down parser based on a grammar formalism easily computes offline and online complexity profiles, …

Distributed Agency: An Analysis of Get-Passive in English
… of ergative verbs. In my synchronic analysis, I show that the semantic properties of get-passive support the argument that get in this construction is an ergative verb. Haegeman (1985) provides additional evidence for my claim by presenting a syntactic analysis of the ergative …

Automatic correction of grammatical errors in non-native English text
… statistical and linguistic methods. We show that syntactic analysis enables extraction of more salient features. We address issues concerning robustness in feature extraction from non-native texts; and also design a framework for simultaneous correction of multiple error types. Our proposed …

Predicting SMT solver performance for software verification
… itself. In this work, we present a method to use syntactic analysis to characterise goals and predict the most appropriate solver via machine-learning techniques. Combining solvers in this way - a portfolio-solving approach - maximises the number of goals which can be proved. The driver-based …

Semantic Decomposition By Covering
… typically attempt to interpret a sentence by syntactic analysis (parsing) followed by semantic analysis. Quite often, the technical narrative contains grammatical errors, incomplete sentences, anaphoric references and typological errors that can cause the grammatical parse to fail. In such …

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 …

The Acquisition of Negation in Najdi Arabic
… (no and not). This investigation provides a syntactic account of negation in Najdi in light of previous Arabic studies (Benmamoun 2000). It is argued in this study that verbal and non-verbal negation is captured by the same syntactic analysis. Both the affirmative and negative sentences of an …
