Re: VMs: vms sentences

["Larry Roux" <LRoux@xxxxxxx>]

This is all guesswork, but my feeling is that new paragraphs are lines that start with EVA "P", and new sentences begin with EVA "t".   I have not identified further breakdown of structure as of this point.

Hi,

As this is my first post I should introduce myself.  My background is
as computational linguist and among my interests are (automated) corpus
linguistics, language learning & I have a particular interest in
dialogue.

I've been looking at the VMS - and have wondered about what would
happen if we applied existing unsupervised grammar induction algorithms
to it (this is opportune since one of my phd students is doing this now
for english and we have the various bits of code lying around). Of
course all of this hinges on whether we can identify descrete sentences
in the manuscript - though my (rather limited) reading hasn't come up
with much on this.

Does anybody have any opinions on sentence breaks in the VMS? (A strong
assumption would be one sentence per line)
