Coreference Chains in Czech, English and Russian: Preliminary Findings.
P. 474–486.
This paper is a pilot comparative study on coreference chaining in three languages, namely, Czech, English and Russian. We have analyzed 16 parallel English-Czech newspaper texts and 16 texts in Russian (similar to the English-Czech ones in length and topics). Our motivation was to find out what the linguistic structure of coreference chains in different languages is and what types of distinctions we should take into account for advancing the development of systems for coreference resolution. Taking into account theoretical approaches to the phenomenon of coreference we based our research on the following assumption: the recognition of coreference links for different structural types of noun phrases is regulated by different language mechanisms. The other starting point was that different languages allow pronominal chaining of different length and that coreference chains properties differ for the languages with different strategies for zero anaphora and different systems for definiteness marking. This work reports our first findings within the task of the structural NP types’ distribution comparison in three languages under analysis.

This paper presents the system of nominal demonstratives in Cigogo language spoken in Tanzania. The system includes 4 sets of forms build by reduplication of the pronominal prefix that is further suffixed with formants no, o, lya. Besides the special deictic (proximal, medial, distant to/from speaker/hearer) and anaphoric functions, they fulfill a wide range of discourse functions: anaphoric, cataphoric, ...

The paper studies tendencies in the use of full single (i.e. without their arguments) redundant participles in the attributive position in the Russian written discourse. Relying upon the data of the Russian National Corpus and the Corpus of Russian Student Texts, as well as a number of the examples collected from various written sources, the ...

The present article addresses a special use of the Russian locative pronoun tam: the use represented in examples like ‘I talked to her — no understanding of the situation there’. In those contexts, tam refers to a participant (usually animate), rather than a location. After a brief sketch of other uses, I describe the rules and restrictions on the ...

Статья посвящена взаимодействию анафорических указательных выражений с параллельными жестами рук и головы на материале мультимодального корпуса RUPEX. Анализ выявил ряд корреляций между ролью говорящего (Рассказчик / Пересказчик / Комментатор) и его невербальным поведением. Было обнаружено, что Пересказчик, не видевший фильма, чаще прибегал к указательной анафоре, по сравнению с Рассказчиком. По-видимому, данными действиями Пересказчик стремился воссоздать ...

It has been acknowledged that the null subject of a converbial clause in Russian is canonically controlled by the Nominative subject of a main clause (Nominative subject control). Non-Nominative control has been considered ungrammatical. On the basis of two experiments (acceptability rating and speeded grammaticality judgement tasks) the paper shows that the non-Nominative control (by ...

Referential Coherence of Academic Texts: A Corpus-Based Analysis of L2 Research Papers in Management
Smirnova E. A., Journal of Language and Education 2019 Vol. 5 No. 4 P. 112–127
This paper focuses on referential coherence, which is seen as a crucial attribute of effective academic writing. Findings are reported from a corpus study of Russian students’ research proposals. The learners’ use of anaphoric expressions is compared with a reference corpus, which comprises research articles published in peer-reviewed journals. It was hypothesised that learners use ...

Advances in computer-assisted linguistic research are greatly influencing and reshaping linguistic investigation. With the increasing availability of interconnected datasets created and curated by researchers, more and more interwoven questions can now be investigated. Such advances, however, are bringing high requirements in terms of rigorousness for preparing and curating datasets. In this work we present CLICS, ...

This paper is a first step towards a corpus-based description of the semantics of Russian pronouns in intensional contexts. Having justified the use of corpus in (formal) semantic research, I delineate a particular issue within the topic: whether a given pronoun is interpreted de se or de re in counteridentity contexts.
A counteridentity context is a ...

Semantic information has been deemed a valuable resource for
solving the task of coreference resolution by many researchers. Unfortunately,
not much has been done in the direction of using this data when working with
Russian data. This work describes the first step of a research, attempting to create
a coreference resolution system for Russian based on semantic data, concerned
with ...

This paper concerns discourse-new mention detection in Russian. This might be helpful for different NLP applications such as coreference resolution, protagonist identification, summarization and different tasks of information extraction to detect the mention of an entity newly introduced into discourse. In our work, we are dealing with the Russian where there is no grammatical devices, ...

The paper focuses on one syntactic restriction on the use of the interrogative pronoun
čto ‘what’. Contrary to kto ‘who’, čto disfavours constructions where it is syntactically
parallel and co-referent to the anaphoric pronouns on ‘he’, ona ‘she’, and ono ‘it’. For instance,
in the construction kogo “ego” (lit. ‘who “he”’), which the Russian speakers use
to find out ...

This paper describes a pilot study of the problem of detecting singleton mentions in Russian texts. A noun phrase is considered a singleton mention if it is the only referent of some entity. We discuss various morphosyntactic and lexical features, some of which were used for analogous tasks for English and propose new features derived ...

This paper discusses two morphologically related anaphoric pronouns in Avar (Avar-Andic, Nakh-Daghestanian) and proposes that one of them should be treated as a minimal pronoun that receives its interpretation from a λ-operator situated on a phasal head whereas the other is a logophoric pronoun denoting the author of the reported event. ...

This paper presents the results of our experiments on building a general coreference resolution system for Russian. The main aim of those experiments was to set a baseline for this task for Russian using the standard set of features developed and tested for coreference resolution systems created for other languages. We propose several baseline systems, ...

It is generally assumed that the syntactic structure of participial relative clauses is impoverished, “reduced” in comparison to that of regular RCs (see a. o. Burzio 1981; Chomsky 1981; Hazout 2001; Siloni 1995; Stowell 1981). Participial RCs are often analysed as VP-like structures (for some, embedded under a nominalizing node, Doron & Reintges 2005; Hazout ...

According to the Canonical Binding Theory (Chomsky 1981), anaphors must be bound in their local domain and pronominals must be free. The discovery of “long-distance anaphors” (e.g. Thrainsson 1976, Giorgi 1984), which violate the locality condition, induced the search for independent criteria. Giorgi (1984:310) proposed a widely adopted criterion: “pronouns can have split antecedents and ...
