{"product_id":"discourse-function-syntactic-form-cassandre-creswell-9780415971041","title":"Discourse Function \u0026 Syntactic Form in Natural Language Generation","description":"Users of natural languages have many word orders with which to encode the same truth-conditional meaning. They choose contextually appropriate strings from these many ways with little conscious effort and with effective communicative results. Previous computational models of when English speakers produce non-canonical word orders, like topicalization, left-dislocation and clefts, fail. The primary goal of this book is to present a better model of when speakers choose to produce certain non-canonical word orders by incorporating the effects of discourse context and speaker goals on syntactic choice. This book makes extensive use of previously unexamined naturally occurring corpus data of non-canonical word order in English, both to illustrate the points of the theoretical model and to train the statistical model.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cassandre Creswell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415971047\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415971041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/22\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.34w x 0.65d","brand":"Cassandre Creswell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086674342143,"sku":"9780415971041","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8c7acf07-ce65-40cf-a0b9-da827b5b4613.jpg?v=1769095953","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/discourse-function-syntactic-form-cassandre-creswell-9780415971041","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
