Marking one’s own viewpoint: The Finnish evidential verb+kseni ‘as far as I understand’ construction

This article examines evidentiality in the frame of inferential adverbs in written interaction from the perspective of Finnish, a language that does not have evidentiality as a grammatical category. The analysis focuses on six adverbs, such as käsittääkseni ‘as far as I understand’ and tietääkseni ‘to my knowledge, as far as I know’. Evidentiality and epistemic modality intertwine in their semantics, as these adverbs represent a writer’s access to information, but also indicate her evaluation of its reliability. First, this article offers a description of the interactional functions of these adverbs such as marking a writer’s opinion in contrasts, expressing slight hedging in order to anticipate corrections, to allow space for other opinions, or to create irony. Second, in the framework of cognitive grammar, the analysis focuses on the meaning of the evidential verb+kseni construction and the effect of different verb stems on it. These adverbs share similar functions in texts, which is due to their flexible constructional meaning. While varying from lexeme to lexeme, specific evidential and epistemic dimensions can either be foregrounded and relevant in a situation or remain backgrounded and not activated.

Learning to Simplify

Over the last few years the availability of comparable or parallel corpora of original and simplified or adapted textual material has made possible a set of approaches to learn various types of simplification operations from corpora. Notably, with the Simple English Wikipedia (SEW), in combination with the “ordinary” English Wikipedia (EW), simplification approaches which use primarily machine learning techniques have been proposed. Most of them learn lexical changes in the data although some approaches also are able to learn some syntactic transformations. The chapter starts by introducing methods which cast text simplification, in different languages, as monolingual machine translation. Then, we will overview simplification as a statistical syntactic-tree translation process with the aim of transforming complex sentences into simpler ones. We will also overview works which apply optimization techniques aimed at finding the best possible simplification by either optimizing the application of rules or by overgenerating simplification solutions. Finally, to end the chapter we will review recent work on incorporating semantic information into the simplification problem.
