TL;DR: In this article, a machine translation system with a natural language source module for accepting externally introduced text in the source language is described, which is broadly based upon the concept of Chaos and conducts a divergent search in a morpheme root database, and further includes a morphological word stripping means that is to be implemented on a data processing device.
Abstract: A machine translation system having a natural language source module for accepting externally introduced text in the source language The system is broadly based upon the concept of Chaos and conducts a divergent search in the source language, a morpheme root database, and further includes a morphological word stripping means that is to be implemented on a data processing device The system source module provides the steps whereby each of the words in a subject clause, phrase, or sentence of the externally introduced source language text are individually compared first to data in a lexical database and if the individual words are not found among the data in the lexical database then the words are subjected to the morphological word stripping means which are directed to the affixes of the words and first to the stripping of suffixes, if any, from each word followed by the step of comparing an individual stripped word, in the absence of that particular word's stripped suffix, with the data in the morpheme root database, which comparison normally proceeds downward through descending length character strings until a morpheme root match is found The stripping and comparison with the database are repeated as often as required to find a root match
TL;DR: In this article, the catena (Latin for chain; plural catenae) is defined in a dependency-based grammar as a word or a combination of words that is continuous with respect to dominance.
Abstract: This paper introduces a novel unit of syntactic analysis, the catena (Latin for chain; plural catenae). The catena is defined in a dependency-based grammar as a word or a combination of words that is continuous with respect to dominance. According to this definition, any dependency tree or any subtree (complete or partial) of a dependency tree qualifies as a catena. The paper demonstrates that idioms are stored as catenae and that the elided material of ellipsis mechanisms (e.g., answer fragments, gapping, stripping, VP ellipsis, pseudogapping, sluicing, and comparative deletion) is a catena. Constituents are always catenae, but many catenae are not constituents. Based on the flexibility and utility of the catena concept, the claim is put forth and defended that the catena is the fundamental unit of syntax, not the constituent.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the orbital histories of Virgo galaxies at various stages of HI gas stripping and compare the location of galaxies with different HI morphology in phase space, finding that most galaxies are stripped of their gas as they settle into the gravitational potential of the cluster.
Abstract: We investigate the orbital histories of Virgo galaxies at various stages of HI gas stripping. In particular, we compare the location of galaxies with different HI morphology in phase space. This method is a great tool for tracing the gas stripping histories of galaxies as they fall into the cluster. Most galaxies at the early stage of HI stripping are found in the first infall region of Virgo, while galaxies undergoing active HI stripping mostly appear to be falling in or moving out near the cluster core for the first time. Galaxies with severely stripped, yet symmetric, HI disks are found in one of two locations. Some are deep inside the cluster, but others are found in the cluster outskirts with low orbital velocities. We suggest that the latter group of galaxies belong to a \"backsplash\" population. These present the clearest candidates for backsplashed galaxies observationally identified to date. We further investigate the distribution of a large sample of HI-detected galaxies toward Virgo in phase space, confirming that most galaxies are stripped of their gas as they settle into the gravitational potential of the cluster. In addition, we discuss the impact of tidal interactions between galaxies and group preprocessing on the HI properties of the cluster galaxies, and link the associated star formation evolution to the stripping sequence of cluster galaxies.
