A Logistic Regression Model of Determiner Omission in PPs

摘要

The realization of singular count nouns without an accompanying determiner in-side a PP (determinerless PP, bare PP, Preposition-Noun Combination) has re-cently attracted some interest in computa-tional linguistics. Yet, the relevant factors for determiner omission remain unclear, and conditions for determiner omission vary from language to language. We pre-sent a logistic regression model of deter-miner omission in German based on data obtained by applying annotation mining to a large, automatically and manually annotated corpus.
