title: Current Approaches to Punctuation in Computational Linguistics creator: Say, Bilge creator: Akman, Varol subject: Artificial Intelligence subject: Language subject: Historical Linguistics subject: Computational Linguistics subject: Pragmatics subject: Semantics subject: Syntax subject: Logic description: Some recent studies in computational linguistics have aimed to take advantage of various cues presented by punctuation marks. This short survey is intended to summarise these research efforts and additionally, to outline a current perspective for the usage and functions of punctuation marks. We conclude by presenting an information-based framework for punctuation, influenced by treatments of several related phenomena in computational linguistics. date: 1997 type: Journal (Paginated) type: PeerReviewed format: application/postscript identifier: http://cogprints.org/198/2/compsingle.ps identifier: Say, Bilge and Akman, Varol (1997) Current Approaches to Punctuation in Computational Linguistics.
