Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Linguistics Olympiad: Training Guide represents a unique and complex work aimed to help students and teachers alike prepare for the national and international Linguistics Olympiads. This guide identifies the most common types of problems and, for each of them, proposes a theoretical framework (basic linguistics concepts, as well as language typology data) together with a methodological approach, tailored for each type of problems, and, in the end, a selection of practice problems from past editions of national and international Linguistics Olympiads. This work is breaking new ground, being the first of its kind, featuring a large number of languages and problems, centered around the concept of problem-based learning. 444 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -Reference production, often termed Referring Expression Generation (REG) in computational linguistics, encompasses two distinct tasks: (1) one-shot REG, and (2) REG-in-context. One-shot REG explores which properties of a referent offer a unique description of it. In contrast, REG-in-context asks which (anaphoric) referring expressions are optimal at various points in discourse. This book offers a series of in-depth studies of the REG-in-context task. It thoroughly explores various aspects of the task such as corpus selection, computational methods, feature analysis, and evaluation techniques. The comparative study of different corpora highlights the pivotal role of corpus choice in REG-in-context research, emphasizing its influence on all subsequent model development steps. An experimental analysis of various feature-based machine learning models reveals that those with a concise set of linguistically-informed features can rival models with more features. Furthermore, this work highlights the importance of paragraph-related concepts, an area underexplored in Natural Language Generation (NLG). The book offers a thorough evaluation of different approaches to the REG-in-context task (rule-based, feature-based, and neural end-to-end), and demonstrates that well-crafted, non-neural models are capable of matching or surpassing the performance of neural REG-in-context models. In addition, the book delves into post-hoc experiments, aimed at improving the explainability of both neural and classical REG-in-context models. It also addresses other critical topics, such as the limitations of accuracy-based evaluation metrics and the essential role of human evaluation in NLG research. These studies collectively advance our understanding of REG-in-context. They highlight the importance of selecting appropriate corpora and targeted features. They show the need for context-aware modeling and the value of a comprehensive approach to model evaluation and interpretation. This detailed analysis of REG-in-context paves the way for developing more sophisticated, linguistically-informed, and contextually appropriate NLG systems. 276 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -Expressions from the semasiological domain of phasal polarity (¿still¿, ¿already¿, etc.) tend to be highly polyfunctional, with their various uses often extending into a wide range of other linguistic domains, both time-related and non-temporal. Yet these patterns have hitherto been investigated mostly for individual languages or smaller groups. This volume presents the first ever larger-scale survey of the numerous functions of expressions whose meanings include the notion of ¿still¿, making use of a global sample of 76 varieties from 45 distinct phyla. It is aimed at semanticists, typologists and descriptive grammarians alike.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 784 pp. Englisch. …
