Multiple argument ellipses resolution in Japanese

Shigeko Nariyama


Abstract
Some Japanese clauses contain more than one argument ellipsis, and yet this fact has not adequately been accounted for in the study of ellipsis resolution in the current literature, which predominantly focus resolving one ellipsis per sentence. This paper proposes a method using a "salient referent list", which identifies the referents of such multiple argument ellipses as well as offers ellipsis resolution as a whole by considering contextual information.
