Abstract:

This study used an item-based approach to explore the full range of lexical-semantic (word frequency and imageability) and sublexical characteristics (regularity and consistency) of stimulus items. Oral reading and spelling-to-dictation data from 72 adults with acquired alexia/agraphia due to stroke or progressive aphasia were analyzed to determine unique influences of lexical-semantic and sublexical variables on performance. Multiple regression analyses were performed for each etiology and lesion group (i.e., perisylvian stoke, extrasylvian stroke, perisylvian atrophy, and extrasylvian atroph

Abstract:

Purpose: This study investigates one possible reason for individual differences in vocabulary learning from written context. A Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) model is used to motivate the prediction of a causal relationship between semantic knowledge for words in a text and the quality of their hypotheses about the semantics of novel words, an effect mediated by reading comprehension. The purpose of this study was to test this prediction behaviorally, using a within subject repeated measures design to control for other variables affecting semantic word learning.

Les méthodes d'évaluation de ces ressources qui sont actuellement mises en œuvre (comparaison à des lexiques de référence, évaluation par la tâche, test du TOEFL...) relèvent en effet d'une approche quantitative des données qui ne laisse que peu de place à l'interprétation des rapprochements générés.

Abstract:

The use-in-context of three lexical units - at, on and in - is analized in thousands of examples from the BROWN corpus of written American English. Syntactic scrutiny confirms the lexicon-grammar continuum, as far as particles cannot be categorized according to necessary and sufficient conditions. Semantic analysis is performed according to a polysemy model based on prototypes and radial categories. It is shown that the same semantic structure is common to all the uses of these particles, as a result of partial sanction and semantic extension of a single category. A prototype is posed for each

Abstract:

Language is an essential component of human behavior. It is ubiquitous, but more importantly, it is malleable and it is constantly changing. Part of the dynamic nature of informal communication is the introduction and adoption of new linguistic elements. Online communication provides a window into this informal public discourse; therefore, it may be useful for testing hypotheses about the processes underlying the acquisition and use of new words. The comprehension of informal language may lead to an understanding of how these new informal words are integrated into our mental lexicon. The curre

The Qur'an is at the heart of Islamic culture. Careful, well-informed interpretation of it is fundamental both to the faith of millions of Muslims throughout the world, and also to the non-Islamic world's understanding of their religion. There is a long and venerable tradition of Qur'anic interpretation, and it has necessarily been based on literary-historical methods for exegesis of hand-written and printed text. Developments in electronic text representation and analysis since the second half of the twentieth century now offer the opportunity to supplement traditional techniques by applying

Abstract:

This study explores the two Japanese temporal connectors mae ni and nai uchi ni that express the notion of ‘before.’ These have been claimed to differ in factuality and certainty (Kuno, 1973) and on pragmatic grounds in the form of speaker attitude (Hasegawa, 2015). Using The Balanced Corpus of Contemporary Written Japanese, this study investigates the veracity of previous findings and aims to further deepen the understanding of what sets these two temporal connectors apart. Rather than in factuality or certainty, they are found to differ in lexical aspect and predicate class tendencies, as we

Sociolinguists have documented the substrate influence of various languages on the formation of dialects in numerous ethnic-regional setting throughout the United States.

In preliminary investigations of emerging Miami Latino English, we have observed that lexical forms based on Spanish lexical forms are not only ubiquitous among the speech o

This thesis is an investigation of phenomena at the interface between syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, with the aim of arguing for a view of semantic interpretation as lexically driven yet contextually dependent.

I concentrate on phenomena where only an interaction between all three linguistic knowledge sources can explain the constraints on verb use: conventionalised lexical semantic knowledge constrain

Previous studies show that bilingual infants are slower in developing phonology and tend to experience some difficulties in acquiring some grammatical rules. Furthermore, as compared to their monolingual peers, bilingual infants tend to have less vocabulary.

Specifically, we examined the lexical-semantic relationships between words within and across languages using a word-to-word priming paradigm.

Abstract:

Finnish belongs into the Finno-Ugric language family, and it is spoken by the vast majority of the people living in Finland. The motivation for this thesis is to contribute to the development of a semantic tagger for Finnish. This tool is a parallel of the English Semantic Tagger which has been developed at the University Centre for Computer Corpus Research on Language (UCREL) at Lancaster University since the beginning of the 1990s and which has over the years proven to be a very powerful tool in automatic semantic analysis of English spoken and written data. The English Semantic Tagger has v

Abstract:

In this work, we test two novel methods of using word embeddings to detect lexical semantic change, attempting to overcome limitations associated with conventional approaches to this problem. Using a diachronic corpus spanning over a hundred years, we generate word embeddings for each decade with the intention of evaluating how meaning changes are represented in embeddings for the same word across time. Our approach differs from previous works in this field in that we encode words as probabilistic Gaussian distributions and bimodal probabilistic Gaussian mixtures, rather than conventional word

Abstract:

Current models of language processing advocate that word meaning is partially stored in distributed modality-specific cortical networks. However, while much has been done to investigate where information is represented in the brain, the neuronal dynamics underlying how these networks communicate internally, and with each other are still poorly understood. For example, it is not clear how spatially distributed semantic content is integrated into a coherent conceptual representation. The current thesis investigates how perceptual semantic features are selected and integrated, using oscillatory n

Thesis (M. A. (African Languages)) --University of Limpopo, 2001<br>This study explores the lexical semantic representation of break verbs in Xitsonga. Chapter One is the introduction of this study. It describes the statement of the problem. The main aim of this study is described which m bnef is to investigate the form, struc e and interpretation of break verbs in Xitsonga. The significance of this study, which is to highlight the semantic value of break verbs in Xitsonga is discussed. The methodology, lite rature review as well as the theta - theory and its properties have been examined.

Abstract:

L’hameçonnage est une escroquerie moderne qui cible les utilisateurs de communications électroniques et vise à les convaincre de réaliser des actions pour le bénéfice d’un individu nommé hameçonneur. Les attaques d’hameçonnage s’appuient essentiellement sur de l’ingénierie sociale et la plupart de ces attaques utilisent des liens représentés par des noms de domaine et des URLs. Nous proposons donc dans cette thèse de nouvelles solutions, reposant sur une analyse lexicale et sémantique de la composition des noms de domaine et des URLs, pour combattre l’hameçonnage. Ces deux types de pointeurs s
