    PLPrepare: A Grammar Checker for Challenging Cases

    Get PDF
    This study investigates one of the Polish languageā€™s most arbitrary cases: the genitive masculine inanimate singular. It collects and ranks several guidelines to help language learners discern its proper usage and also introduces a framework to provide detailed feedback regarding arbitrary cases. The study tests this framework by implementing and evaluating a hybrid grammar checker called PLPrepare. PLPrepare performs similarly to other grammar checkers and is able to detect genitive case usages and provide feedback based on a number of error classifications

    U radu se prikazuje pet mrežnih rječnika nastalih u svrhu opisa (glagolske) valentnosti u slavenskim jezicima. Uspoređuju se lingvistički i leksikografski opisi valentnosti te se ne razmatra njihova računalna osnova. Četiri mrežna valencijska rječnika (ruski FrameBank, čeÅ”ki VALLEX, hrvatski CROVALLEX i poljski Walenty) detaljno se uspoređuju s e-Glavom, mrežnim valencijskim rječnikom hrvatskoga jezika koji se izrađuje u Institutu za hrvatski jezik i jezikoslovlje. Na kraju rada opisuju se slična i različita svojstva svih spomenutih rječnika. Rječnici se razlikuju odnosom prema svrÅ”enim i nesvrÅ”enim te povratnim glagolima, odnosom prema adjunktima (dodatcima), polaznom točkom u shvaćanju valentnosti (semantička ili sintaktička) te bilježenjem uže (obvezne, neobvezne dopune i dodatci) ili Å”ire valentnosti (sintaktičke preoblike poput pasiva, recipročnosti ili bezličnosti).The aim of the paper is to compare the representation of valency in five online valency dictionaries of Slavic languages (the Russian FrameBank, the Czech VALLEX, the Polish Walenty, and two online valency dictionaries of Croatian, Crovallex and e-Glava). FrameBank, VALLEX, Walenty, and CROVALLEX are compared in detail with e-Glava and at the end all five online resources are correlated. The five dictionaries are based on various linguistic traditions, but despite that, some parts of their description are similar due to common features of slavic languages. Due to rich case systems, the morphological description is indispensable in these valency dictionaries

    Representation and parsing of multiword expressions

    This book consists of contributions related to the definition, representation and parsing of MWEs. These reflect current trends in the representation and processing of MWEs. They cover various categories of MWEs such as verbal, adverbial and nominal MWEs, various linguistic frameworks (e.g. tree-based and unification-based grammars), various languages including English, French, Modern Greek, Hebrew, Norwegian), and various applications (namely MWE detection, parsing, automatic translation) using both symbolic and statistical approaches

    Deep parsing is the fundamental process aiming at the representation of the syntactic structure of phrases and sentences. In the traditional methodology this process is based on lexicons and grammars representing roughly properties of words and interactions of words and structures in sentences. Several linguistic frameworks, such as Headdriven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG), Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG), Tree Adjoining Grammar (TAG), Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG), etc., offer different structures and combining operations for building grammar rules. These already contain mechanisms for expressing properties of Multiword Expressions (MWE), which, however, need improvement in how they account for idiosyncrasies of MWEs on the one hand and their similarities to regular structures on the other hand. This collaborative book constitutes a survey on various attempts at representing and parsing MWEs in the context of linguistic theories and applications

    The System of the Inquisition in Medieval Europe

    Get PDF
    This book reexamines the origins and growth of the medieval inquisition which provided a framework for the large-scale operations against religious dissidents. In the last quarter of the twelfth century, the papacy launched concerted efforts to hunt out heretics, mostly Cathars and Waldensians, and directed operations against them all across Latin Christendom. The bull of Pope Lucius III Ad abolendam of 1184 became a turning point in the formation of the inquisitorial system which made both the clergy and the laity responsible for suppressing any religious dissent. From a comparative perspective, the study analyzes political, social and religious developments which in the High Middle Ages gave birth to the mechanism of repression and religious violence supervised by the papacy and operated by bishops and, starting from the 1230s, papal inquisitors, extraordinary judges delegate staffed mostly by Dominican and Franciscan friars
