  1. A Syntactic Analysis Method of Long Japanese Sentences Based on the Detection of Conjunctive Structures (1994 · 211 citations)
    Kurohashi and Nagao address a classic weakness of Japanese parsers: long sentences, especially those over 50 characters, often break down because coordination (conjunctive noun phrases, coordinated predicate clauses including the renyoh chuushi-ho form, and "incomplete" coordinations) produces heavy scope ambiguity…
  2. Corpus Based PP Attachment Ambiguity Resolution with a Semantic Dictionary (1997 · 115 citations)
    The paper addresses prepositional phrase (PP) attachment: deciding whether a PP modifies the verb or the object noun in verb–noun–preposition–noun quadruples.
