TL;DR: The authors explored the basis by which thematic dependencies can be evaluated in advance of linguistic input that unambiguously signals those dependencies, and found that verb-based information is not limited to anticipating the immediately following (grammatical) object, but can also anticipate later occurring objects.

TL;DR: This paper identifies some linguistic properties of technical terminology, and uses them to formulate an algorithm for identifying technical terms in running text, and presents a terminology indentification algorithm that is motivated by these linguistic properties.
Abstract: This paper identifies some linguistic properties of technical terminology, and uses them to formulate an algorithm for identifying technical terms in running text. The grammatical properties discussed are preferred phrase structures: technical terms consist mostly of noun phrases containing adjectives, nouns, and occasionally prepositions; rerely do terms contain verbs, adverbs, or conjunctions. The discourse properties are patterns of repetition that distinguish noun phrases that are technical terms, especially those multi-word phrases that constitute a substantial majority of all technical vocabulary, from other types of noun phrase.The paper presents a terminology indentification algorithm that is motivated by these linguistic properties. An implementation of the algorithm is described; it recovers a high proportion of the technical terms in a text, and a high proportaion of the recovered strings are vaild technical terms. The algorithm proves to be effective regardless of the domain of the text to which it is applied.

TL;DR: The authors show that the P600 component in Event Related Potential research has been associated with syntactic reanalysis processes, and that the effect of difficult syntactic integration in grammatical sentences is not restricted to reanalysis, but reflects difficulty with syntactical integration processes in general.
Abstract: The P600 component in Event Related Potential research has been hypothesised to be associated with syntactic reanalysis processes. We, however, propose that the P600 is not restricted to reanalysis processes, but reflects difficulty with syntactic integration processes in general. First we discuss this integration hypothesis in terms of a sentence processing model proposed elsewhere. Next, in Experiment 1, we show that the P600 is elicited in grammatical, non-garden path sentences in which integration is more difficult (i.e., ''who'' questions) relative to a control sentence (''whether'' questions). This effect is replicated in Experiment 2. Furthermore, we directly compare the effect of difficult integration in grammatical sentences to the effect of agreement violations. The results suggest that the positivity elicited in ''who'' questions and the P600-effect elicited by agreement violations have partly overlapping neural generators. This supports the hypothesis that similar cognitive processes, i.e., in...

TL;DR: An implementation of a part-of-speech tagger based on a hidden Markov model that enables robust and accurate tagging with few resource requirements and accuracy exceeds 96%.
Abstract: We present an implementation of a part-of-speech tagger based on a hidden Markov model. The methodology enables robust and accurate tagging with few resource requirements. Only a lexicon and some unlabeled training text are required. Accuracy exceeds 96%. We describe implementation strategies and optimizations which result in high-speed operation. Three applications for tagging are described: phrase recognition; word sense disambiguation; and grammatical function assignment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of sentential context and semantic memory structure during on-line sentence processing were examined by recording event-related brain potentials as individuals read pairs of sentences for comprehension.
