TL;DR: A technique based on noun phrase and verb clause slot structures is described for representing the semantics of the sentences making up a text document and is suitable for manipulation by computers for a variety of document processing tasks.
Abstract: A technique based on noun phrase and verb clause slot structures Is described for representing the semantics of the sentences making up a text document. Thesaurus head word index numbers are placed in the appropriate document sentence clause slots to represent the meta level meaning of the sentences. Many different expressions of the same document content can thus be represented by one semantic representation. An implementation of such a technique is described, and sample output is presented. The document summarisation thus produced is suitable for manipulation by computers for a variety of document processing tasks. The technique has primarily been developed for an automated essay grading system, where a robust context free representation of documents is required.

TL;DR: In this article, the kana letter keys are pushed selectively according to the phrases by defining the character to be supplied with the 2-letter phrase the head of which comes the Chinese character.
Abstract: PURPOSE:To secure the accurate input of the Chinese characters in an extremely high efficiency through a quick operation by securing selection of the Chinese characters by just sequential push of three or four units of the kana letter (Japanes syllabary) keys and at the same time facilitating the easy memorization of the phrase defining the Chinese characters. CONSTITUTION:The keyboard of input device 1 contains the array of 49 units of keys to designate the 49 kana letters. Then kana letter keys are pushed selectively according to the phrases by defining the character to be supplied with the 2-letter phrase the head of which comes the Chinese character. And thus the prescribed code signal is delivered from device 1 to be sent to code converter 2 for conversion into the code signal showing the Chinses character corresponding to the phrase. Based on this code signal, the Chineses character signal is obtained from character generator 3 to be then delivered 4. In this way, the Chinese characters can be supplied accurately in an extremely high efficiency.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on plural nouns in two Afroasiatic languages: Moroccan Arabic and Djibouti Somali, and show that not all plurals are located in the same syntactic position.
Abstract: In this paper, we focus on plural nouns in two Afroasiatic languages: Moroccan Arabic and Djibouti Somali. Within a syntactic approach to word formation, we show that not all plurals are located in the same syntactic position. In Moroccan Arabic, one plural results from the merger of a root with the head n , whereas the other realizes a feature on the number head. In a similar way, Somali displays two suffixal plurals, which realize two distinct syntactic structures. One suffix is associated to numP and behaves as a regular plural suffix; in contrast, the other suffix is analyzed as a bound root that selects for xPs (nP or numP) containing the feminine gender.
