On the application of syntactic methodologies in automatic text analysis

Abstract This study summarizes various linguistic approaches proposed for document analysis in information retrieval environments. Included are standard syntactic methods to generate complex content identifiers, and the use of semantic know-how obtained from machine-readable dictionaries, and from specially constructed knowledge bases. Certain syntactic term phrase generation systems are examined in detail and their usefulness for text analysis purposes is evaluated.
