TL;DR: This work examines paraphrases that jointly consider holders and targets, a verb detour in which noun heads are replaced by related verbs, a global head constraint allowing inferencing between different compounds, and the categorization of the sentiment view that the head conveys.
Abstract: We present an approach to the new task of opinion holder and target extraction on opinion compounds. Opinion compounds (e.g. user rating or victim support) are noun compounds whose head is an opinion noun. We do not only examine features known to be effective for noun compound analysis, such as paraphrases and semantic classes of heads and modifiers, but also propose novel features tailored to this new task. Among them, we examine paraphrases that jointly consider holders and targets, a verb detour in which noun heads are replaced by related verbs, a global head constraint allowing inferencing between different compounds, and the categorization of the sentiment view that the head conveys.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors make the (unfavorable) assumption that human persons are wholly material, and explain why their heads and other brain-containing parts are neither persons nor thinkers.
Abstract: Is the head of a whole·bodied human person itself a person'? Are the head and other brain-containing parts of whole-bodied human thinkers themselves thinkers'? There is pressure to answer such questions affirmatively. That pressure creates a problem, especi· ally for those of us with conservative metaphysical inclinations. If we succumb to the pressure, we depart from ordinary ways of speaking and thinking. And we find ourselves propelled toward such radical theories as mereological essentialism. But the currently available means of resisting the pressure are themselves radical. problematic� or both. I offer a novel. conservative solution. Making the (unfavorable) assumption that human persons are wholly material, I explain why their heads and other brain-containing parts are neither persons nor thinkers. And I do so without sacrificing the broadly Aristotelian metaphysic implicit in ordinary ways of thinking.

TL;DR: Kafka is the voice of the outsider as mentioned in this paper, who is defined by its affiliations and completely, utterly alone in the face of higher powers, and it can be said that literature was not the same after Kafka.
Abstract: Kafkaesque: the very word evokes tortuous bureaucracy, crushing self doubt, and an almost unbearable inadequacy in the face of higher powers. After Kafka, it can be said, literature was not the same. In the few novels and short stories he left behind, he distilled the horrors of the new age. Kafkas is the voice of the outsider—that is, the voice of each one of us—at once defined by its affiliations and completely, utterly alone.
