Though the term NATIVE SPEAKER/SIGNER is frequently used in language research, it is
inconsistently conceptualized. Factors, such as age, order, and context of acquisition, in …

Parsing unrestricted text is useful for many language technology applications but requires
parsing methods that are both robust and efficient. MaltParser is a language-independent …

Sentence fusion is a text-to-text (revision-like) generation task which takes related sentences
as input and merges these into a single output sentence. In this paper we describe our …

Statistical parsers are e ective but are typically limited to producing projective dependencies
or constituents. On the other hand, linguisti-cally rich parsers recognize non-local relations …

This paper presents the construction of an open-source dependency treebank of spoken
Slovenian, the first syntactically annotated collection of spontaneous speech in Slovenian …

In previous research it has been observed that second language (L2) learners of Dutch and
German use analytic verbs in contexts where the target language requires synthetic verbs …

Despite the significant improvement of data-driven dependency parsing systems in recent
years, they still achieve a considerably lower performance in parsing spoken language data …

This article describes the generation of aggregated and elliptic sentences, using
Dependency Trees connected by rhetorical relations as input. The system we have …

We present in this paper a method for hybridizing constituency treebanks with constraint-
based descriptions and enrich them with an evaluation of sentence grammaticality. Such …

Should writers “avoid clichés like the plague”? Clichés are said to be a prominent
characteristic of “low brow” literature, and conversely, a negative marker of “high brow” …
