On the syntactic iconicity of the existential construction in Chinese and English;

As one type of linguistic iconicity, syntactic iconicity which refers to the natural resemblance between syntactic structure and the conceptual structure in people s mind has already been widely discussed by many cognitive linguists.

This thesis explores how a translation theory or method based on syntactic iconicity directs and optimizes the translation in order to produce functional equivalence in translation.

This paper first points out that shallow parsing problems can be converted into categorizaion problems,then we show how to cope with shallow parsing with random forests.

Automatically recognizing predicate is one of the important research topics in shallow parsing.

The method includes two key steps: shallow parsing and template matching.
