Topic: Lorraine (disambiguation)


In the News (Wed 23 Dec 09)

  
  Lorraine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
the modern-day French administrative région of Lorraine, which is larger than the historical province of Lorraine, as it includes other provinces and areas which historically were separate from Lorraine proper: see Lorraine (région).
The name Lorraine and the territory that became the historical province of that name are both derived from the medieval duchy Lotharingia, from 959 divided into the duchies of Lower Lotharingia and Upper Lotharingia (the latter of which became modern Lorraine).
Lorraine is also used as a feminine name, above all in the US and Canada, after World War I, during which events brought Lorraine to the North American public imagination.

We perform the statistical disambiguation as a post-process, in cases where the resulting parse tree is ambiguous.
Our statistical disambiguation procedure thus uses a heuristic to rank the various ambiguities that belong to a packed node, and then unpacks the best scoring tree from the forest representation.
If anyone is interested in more details about the GLR parser, the statistical disambiguation module, or the research applications in which we use this system, please feel free to contact me directly via email.

 Francia Media:  Lorraine & Burgundy
To the east, Upper Lorraine bordered on Alsace, part of the Duchy of Swabia, on the south, the Free County of Burgundy, and on the west, Champagne.
Although it began as a Kingdom on equal footing with Burgundy and Italy, or, for that matter, with West Francia (France) and East Francia (Germany), Lorraine eventually lost this status and became a dependency of the Eastern Kingdom (900), albeit with the new elevated status of a Duchy, one of the Stem Duchies of Germany.

 Articles - Duke   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The Germanic Franks converted, under Roman influence, the Germanic concept of Herzog (literally: "war-leader", commonly translated as "duke"), the temporarily elected general for a major expedition of warfare, into military governors for units of up to a dozen counties.
In the 7th century these units developed into hereditary clan-duchies of Bavarians, Thuringians, Alemanni, Franks and other Germanic tribes, which Charlemagne crushed in 788, converting the border provinces into margraviates (which however soon emerged as clan-margraviates: Saxony, Bavaria, Swabia, Lorraine...).
The dissolution tendency was counteracted by the appointment of younger sons of the monarchs (royal dukes) as military governors of the important border provinces, which however also soon developed into hereditary duchies and a source of intrigues against the monarch (see for instance: History of Schleswig-Holstein).
