Now that I have a rough idea regarding how to go about this dissertation of mine (if at all I am able to write it... wish I took this break a year ago I could have submitted my thesis by this semester, at least could be eligible for extention!! now left with no choice, but to deregister). Only good thing is that within 10 years I can come back any time, register again and submit in one year. Anyways, no point thinking about it now. What I need to focus on is how all these linguistic analysis will be used for the computer wala thing? These DP internal movement and all can not be written in the form of production rules.... how will I write the grammar then? And the lexicon design part, I have to decide a binary feature set (like number, specificity, count, mass etc.) which will work like principles supposedly and apparently all the DP internal elements like CL, Dem, Num, Quantifier, Adjective, Noun etc. will have these features. Now there will be some parameters which will say under what conditions which feature will be true and how movement will happen and to where? for example:
moi du-khon kitaap porhilu
I 2-CL book read
I read two books (means any two books) whereas
moi kitaap du-khon porhilu
I book 2-CL read
I read the two books (means two specific books already mentioned in discourse)I book 2-CL read
Suppose in a Eng-Assamese MT system or vice-versa, when we have to insert 'the' or CL to the noun will be predicted by the grammar.
