Michal E. Ptaszynski, Rafał Rzepka, Kenji Araki, Yoshio Momouchi · 2011
A ”sentence pattern” in modern Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics is often considered as a subsequent string of words (n-grams). However, in many branches of linguistics, like Pragmatics or Corpus Linguistics, it has been noticed that simple n-gram patterns are not sufficient to reveal the whole sophistication of grammar patterns. We present a language independent architecture for extracting from sentences more sophisticated patterns than n-grams. In this architecture a ”sentence pattern” is considered as n-element ordered combination of sentence elements (words). This paper presents general description of the architecture.
