TL;DR: Wounds of special organs or of special regions have their different importances, not only in relation to treatment but as regards the ultimate fate of the patient and his later usefulness as a citizen.
Abstract: are apt to bring minds to the problems unfreshened by recent experience. Wounds of special organs or of special regions have their different importances, not only in relation to treatment but as regards the ultimate fate of the patient and his later usefulness as a citizen. On the whole, less was written about head wounds during and After the last war than of any other. Few people understood them or had had any experience of the first principles of neurosurgery. In a few centres the head wounds came, later in the war, to be segregated, and as the result

TL;DR: A system which extracts the genus word and phrase from free -form definition text, entitled LEXING, for Lexical Information from Glossaries, and demonstrates that this combination allows us to predict the genus even in difficult situations such as empty head definitions or verb definitions.
Abstract: We present a system which extracts the genus word and phrase from free -form definition text, entitled LEXING, for Lexical Information from Glossaries. The extractions will be used to build automatically a lexical knowledge base from on-line domain specific glossary sources. We combine statistical and semantic processes to extract these terms, and demonstrate that this combination allows us to predict the genus even in difficult situations such as empty head definitions or verb definitions. We also discuss the use of “linking prepositions” for use in skipping past empty head genus phrases. This system is part of a project to extract ontological information for energy glossary information.

TL;DR: It will be argued that sa heads prepositional phrases, while ang and ng head higher-level phrases (i.e. phrases where PPs occur a complements or adjuncts), may be considered DPs, although they differ in a number of regards from DPs in European languages.
Abstract: This article presents some observations on the syntax and semantics of the Tagalog phrase marking particles ang, ng, and sa. While there is some evidence for the widely held view that the phrase marking particles form a kind of paradigm in that they are at least in partial complementary distribution, they differ significantly in their distributional characteristics. Consequently, it will be argued that sa heads prepositional phrases, while ang and ng head higher-level phrases (i.e. phrases where PPs occur a complements or adjuncts). These phrases may be considered DPs, although they differ in a number of regards from DPs in European languages. Because of these differences, their status as determiners may be open to questions, but there can be little doubt that ang and ng provide examples par excellence for functional elements displaying (syntactic) head characteristics. Analyzing ang and ng as determiners raises the issue of how they relate to other elements which are usually considered determiners, in particular demonstratives. This problem is taken up in the second main part of the article. It is proposed that demonstratives in fact may occur in two different phrase-structural positions, i.e. they occur both as alternate heads instead of ang and ng and as their complements.
