Reflexive Anaphora Resolution in Pashto Discourse
Rahman Ali, Mohammad Abid Khan, Mushtaq Ali · 2009
The paper presents a rule-based approach for the reflexive pronouns (ReflPro(s)) resolution problem in Pashto language. Here, first the rules are described and exemplified and then the algorithm for identifying the noun phrase antecedents of reflexive anaphors is developed. Finally, the proposed algorithm is evaluated against a manually annotated Pashto corpus. The algorithm successfully identifies the antecedents of about 87.0% of Pashto reflexive pronouns.
