Details | This masters’ research paper overviews the syntactic and discourse-based approaches to zero anaphora in Japanese and attempts to incorporate two approaches often independently studies, in the expectation of combining their advantages and limitations into a model of machine translation systems. The sentence-level syntactic framework draws on the Government-Binding theory proposed by Chomsky (1981, and subsequent work) and the discourse-based analysis model, the Centering theory in Japanese proposed by Walker et al. (1990, 1994). |
