From constituents to syntax-oriented dependencies

This paper describes the automatic process of building a dependency annotated corpus based on Ancora constituent structures. The Ancora corpus already has a dependency structure information layer, but the new annotated data applies a purely syntactic orientation and offers in this way a new resource to the linguistic research community. The paper details the process of reannotating the corpus, the linguistic criteria used and the obtained results.

Reutilización del Treebank de dependencias del euskera para la construcción del gold standard de la sintaxis superficial de la gramática de restricciones (CG)

El objetivo del trabajo consiste en reutilizar el Treebank de dependencias EPECDEP (BDT) para construir el gold standard de la sintaxis superficial del euskera. El paso básico consiste en el estudio comparativo de los dos formalismos aplicados sobre el mismo corpus: el formalismo de la Gramática de Restricciones (Constraint Grammar, CG) y la Gramática de Dependencias (Dependency Grammar, DP). Como resultado de dicho estudio hemos establecido los criterios lingüísticos necesarios para derivar la funciones sintácticas en estilo CG. Dichos criterios han sido implementados y evaluados, así en el 75% de los casos se derivan automáticamente las funciones sintácticas para construir el gold standard.

Syntactic and Semantic Relationships in Models of Complex Systems: An Ecological Case

In this paper, the authors extend and generalize the methodology based on the dynamics of systems with the use of differential equations as equations of state, allowing that first order transformed functions not only apply to the primitive or original variables, but also doing so to more complex expressions derived from them, and extending the rules that determine the generation of transformed superior to zero order (variable or primitive). Also, it is demonstrated that for all models of complex reality, there exists a complex model from the syntactic and semantic point of view. The theory is exemplified with a concrete model: MARIOLA model.
