NT小句复合体模型的理论和应用研究

现有的语言学的小句理论是以动词为中心的，不适合描写汉语，并且对小句层面以上缺少形式化的研究。自然语言处理偏重于统计机器学习，缺少语言理论和语言知识的指导，使得篇章处理、长句翻译的效果不佳。.本项研究在国家自然科学基金资助的前期工作的基础上，建立起以指称语为中心的NT小句复合体模型的科学理论体系，包括形式结构、语义约束和认知解释。这一理论体系超越特定语言的句法细节,既适合于汉语，又适合于英语，从而可以用作跨语言的语法平台，支持长句机器翻译。

The existing linguistic theories on clause are verb-based and not suitable for describing Chinese language. Moreover, there is few formal syntactic studies above clause levels in Chinese. NLP focuses on statistical machine learning, lacking directions from linguistics theory and language knowledge, which results in the inadequacies in text processing and long sentence translation..On the basis of preliminary work funded by NSFC, the project is to establish scientific theory of NT clause complex model centered on referential expression containing formal structure, semantic constraints, and cognition explanation. The theory, which is beyond syntactic details of specific languages, is suitable for both Chinese and English. Therefore, the theory can be used as a cross-language grammar platform to support machine translation of long sentences.
