Abstract
The Gsearch system allows the selection of sentences by syntacticcriteria from text corpora, even when these corpora contain no priorsyntactic markup. This is achieved by means of a fast chart parser,which takes as input a grammar and a search expression specified by theuser. Gsearch features a modular architecture that can be extendedstraightforwardly to give access to new corpora. The Gsearcharchitecture also allows interfacing with external linguistic resources(such as taggers and lexical databases). Gsearch can be used withgraphical tools for visualizing the results of a query.

Beth Levin shows how identifying verbs with similar syntactic behavior provides an effective means of distinguishing semantically coherent verb classes, and isolates these classes by examining verb behavior with respect to a wide range of syntactic alternations that reflect verb meaning.

Automatic rule induction for unknown-word guessing
260 Citations1997Andrei Mikheev
Using the proposed technique, unknown-word-guessing rule sets were induced and integrated into a stochastic tagger and a rule-based tagger, which were then applied to texts with unknown words.

Acquiring lexical generalizations from corpora
69 Citations1999Maria Lapata
The extent to which verb diathesis alternations are empirically attested in corpus data is examined and the productivity of an alternation and the typicality of its members using type and token frequencies is estimated.
Determinants of adjective-noun plausibility
55 Citations1999Maria Lapata, Scott A. McDonald +1 more
The determinants of adjective-noun plausibility are explored by using correlation analysis to compare judgements elicited from human subjects with five corpus-based variables: co-occurrence frequency of the adjective-Noun pair, noun frequency, conditional probability of the noun given the adjective, the log-likelihood ratio, and Resnik's (1993) selectional association measure.

A design for an editor, Thistle, which allows the construction and manipulation of a wide variety of linguistic diagrams and a general method for attaching semantics to such diagrams is described, which represents a generalisation of all systems proposed in the computational linguistic literature of which the author is aware.

Evidence from Mitchell (1987) is examined, suggesting that basic lexical information about verbs may have little in¤uence on the early stages of sentence processing, and experimental evidence is provided to show that detailed linguistic information is available early, but that bare NP adverbs are read surprisingly fast.
