This paper examines Determinerless PPs in English from a theoretical perspective, arguing that the observed cases fall into at least three distinct classes and survey three different analytic methods that can predict the behaviour of the differing classes.
Abstract
This paper examines Determinerless PPs in English from a theoretical perspective. We classify attested P + N combinations across a number of analytic dimensions, arguing that the observed cases fall into at least three distinct classes. We then survey three different analytic methods that can predict the behaviour of the differing classes and examine various remaining difficult cases that may remain as challenges.

The various kinds of multiword expressions should be analyzed in distinct ways, including listing "words with spaces", hierarchically organized lexicons, restricted combinatoric rules, lexical selection, "idiomatic constructions" and simple statistical affinity.
Transformation-based learning in the fast lane
204 Citations2001Grace Ngai, Radu Florian
This paper presents a novel and realistic method for speeding up the training time of a transformation-based learner without sacrificing performance and shows that this system is able to achieve a significant improvement in training time while still achieving the same performance as a standard transformation- based learner.

The goal is to define a set of minimal lexicon “objects”, which can serve not only as a model for MWEs but also for lexical data in general, and establish uniform standards for describing multi-word lexical entries.
Synonymy in collocation extraction

The use of WordNet is described in a new technique for collocation extraction based on restrictions on the possible substitutions for synonyms within candidate phrases, which is followed by a detailed description of the new approach and results.
Learning the countability of English nouns from corpus data

The method maps the corpus-attested lexico-syntactic properties of each noun onto a feature vector, and uses a suite of memory-based classifiers to predict membership in 4 countability classes.

The Multi-Level Translation Method, emphasizing the importance of the meaning contained in expression structures, has been ascertained to be capable of conducting translation according to meaning and context processing with comparative ease and is hopeful of realizing machine translation omitting the process of pre-editing.

This work argues for the construction of postediting modules that are portable across MT systems, as an alternative to hardcoding improvements inside any one system, and builds a complete self-contained postediting module for the task of article selection (a, an, the) for English noun phrases.
