Previous work on English, a language with relatively fixed word order , has identified factors that contribute to local coherence, such as the grammatical roles associated with the entities.

For instance, freer-word-order languages exhibit word order patterns which are dependent on discourse factors relating to information structure, in addition to the grammatical roles of nominal arguments of the main verb.

We thus expect word order information to be particularly important in these languages in discourse analysis, which includes coherence modelling.

The generative capacity of CCG is commonly attributed to its flexible composition rules, which allow it to model more complex word orders that context-free grammar can.

This means that word order in CCG cannot be fully lexicalized with the current formal tools; some ordering constraints must be specified via language-specific combination rules and not in lexicon entries.

Slash types make the derivation process sensitive to word order by restricting the use of compositions to categories with the appropriate type, and the transformation rules permute the order of the words in the string.

Consider the examples in Figure 2: It is because we cannot ensure that the bs finish combining with the other bs before combining with the cs that the undesirable word order in Figure 2b has a derivation.

(2008) use permutations on vectors to account for word order .

Thereby, they realize a multiset (or bag-of-words) semantics that makes them insensitive to structural differences of phrases conveyed through word order .

This requires novel modeling paradigms, as most VSMs have been predominantly used for meaning representation of single words and the key problem of common bag-of-words-based VSMs is that word order information and thereby the structure of the language is lost.

Among the early attempts to provide more compelling combinatory functions to capture word order information and the non-commutativity of linguistic compositional operation in VSMs is the work of Kintsch (2001) who is using a more sophisticated addition function to model predicate-argument structures in VSMs.

One of the major drawbacks of SemPOS is that it completely ignores word order .

This is too coarse even for languages with relatively free word order like Czech.

This focus goes directly against the properties of Czech: relatively free word order allows many permutations of words and rich morphology renders many valid word forms not confirmed by the reference.3 These problems are to some extent mitigated if several reference translations are available, but this is often not the case.

Experimental evidence suggests that they do: 21-month-olds mistakenly interpreted word order in sentences such as “The girl and the boy kradded” as conveying agent-patient roles (Gertner and Fisher, 2006).

We compared the behavior of noun pattern features to another simple representation of word order , position relative to the verb (Veeros).

(2) Because NounPat features represent word order solely in terms of a sequence of nouns, an SRL equipped with these features will make the errors predicted by the structure-mapping account and documented in children (Gertner and Fisher, 2006).
