Abstract:

Compiler toolkits make it possible to rapidly develop compilers and translators for new programming languages. Recently, toolkit writers have focused on supporting extensible languages and systems that mix the syntaxes of multiple programming languages. However, this work has not been extended down to the lexical analysis level. As a result, users of these toolkits have to rely on ad-hoc solutions when they extend or mix syntaxes. This thesis presents MetaLexer, a new lexical specification language that remedies this deficiency. MetaLexer has three key features: it abstracts

Abstract:

Many current psycholinguistic theories view the mental lexicon as a listing of (only) unpredictable sound-meaning correspondences (primarily words and morphemes). Under this view, regular complex word forms and syntactic structures are built with rules during language production, obviating the need for storage of complex but regular linguistic material. This type of model conflicts with recent experimental evidence that suggests that lexical memory may in fact consist of a more heterogeneous set of linguistic units, including complex word forms and multi-word expressions that in theory could b

No presente trabalho, propomo-nos analisar a flexão de número dos nomes terminados em ditongo nasal em português europeu à luz da Fonologia Lexical. O nosso estudo pretende discutir o estatuto fonológico do ditongo nasal e da vogal nasal presente nos nomes em português europeu, identificar o processo fonológico responsável pela derivação de ambos e verificar se a pluralização dos nomes terminados em ditongo nasal é um fenómeno regular, apesar da variedade de manifestações de superfície, e previsível a partir das formas teóricas de base.

Abstract:

The present experiment was conducted to explore the facilitory effects of rhyme in lexical processing in brain-damaged individuals. Normal subjects and non-fluent and fluent aphasic subjects performed auditory lexical decision and rhyme judgement tasks, in which prime-target pairs were phonologically related (either identical or rhyming) or unrelated. Results revealed rhyme facilitation of lexical decisions to real-word targets for normal and non-fluent aphasic subjects; for fluent aphasic subjects, results were equivocal. In the rhyme judgement task, facilitory effects of rhyme were found for

Abstract:

Polysemy refers to word forms that have semantically related or overlapping meanings. Studies of polysemy are few in number and contradictory. Some find differences between polysemy and homonymy (Frazier & Rayner, 1990); others find similarities (Klein & Murphy, 2001). Here, polysemous words independently rated to have low, moderate, or high semantic overlap of their distinct meanings, were studied using the methods of Klein & Murphy. Participants judged the sensicality of phrases consisting of a modifier and a polysemous word as a function of a cooperating, conflicting, or neutral cont

Abstract:

Previous studies of how working memory (WM) capacity affects lexical ambiguity resolution have been inconclusive about the choice between inhibition and activation comprehension strategies. In contrast, an adaptive inhibition hypothesis suggests that this choice depends on the availability of WM resources. We used a cross-modal semantic priming paradigm. Participants listened to sentences biasing the subordinate meanings of homonyms, presented at a fast or slow speech rate. We measured lexical decision response latencies to target words that were related to either the subordinate or dominant m

Auditory and visual presentation, vocal and picture-pointing recall, and concurrent articulation conditions were included.

Abstract:

A central aspect of discourse processing involves the interpretation of referential expressions. Pronouns are one type of referential expression that carry relatively little information regarding the identity of the entities to which they refer. Therefore, their resolution relies on other sources of information. The set of experiments presented here investigated the involvement of lexical biases and prosodic information in pronoun interpretation. In sentences such as John amazed/envied Bill because he…, the interpretation of the ambiguous pronoun in the second clause is influenced by a pro

This study examined the effects of linguistic task demands on the neuroanatomical localization of the neural response related to automatic semantic processing of concrete German nouns combining the associative priming paradigm with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). To clarify the functional role of the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) for semantic processing with respect to semantic decision making compared to semantic processing per se, we used a linguistic task that involved either a binary decision process (i.e., semantic categorization; Experiment 1) or not (i.e., silently thinking

Abstract:

The relationship between metalinguistic and unassisted linguistic performance was investigated within a well defined framework of literacy tasks (comprehension, production and revision) and language structure (anaphoric reference). Metalinguistic performance was operationalized in terms of two constructs, metalinguistic knowledge about lexical and pronoun reference, and metalinguistic skill in subjects' manipulation of lexical and pronoun reference tokens. Unassisted performance was operationalized in terms of effective spontaneous use of lexical and pronoun reference rather than global perfor

Abstract:

An increasing amount of evidence suggests that both cerebral hemispheres contribute to the comprehension of semantic relations.

Two major theories have been proposed to account for the lexical-semantic deficits observed in RH damaged (RHD) individuals, namely the "suppression deficit" and the "coarse semantic coding" hypotheses.

Abstract:

Recent research has argued that the intact functioning of both the left (LH) and right cerebral hemispheres (RE) is integral for comprehending lexically ambiguous words (Chiarello, 1998; Faust & Chiarello, 1998; Faust & Gemsbacher, 1996). While studies of neurologically intact individuals have attributed specific functions to the LH and RH, studies of brain-damaged patients have failed to provide complementary evidence for these hemispheric abilities. In addition, the majority of studies have focused on ambiguity resolution in single-sentence (local) contexts, and, as such, do not addre

Abstract:

Although the psycholinguistic literature is rife with examples of lexical influences on phoneme identification, a debate still rages among theorists over whether these influences reflect a top-down, interactive speech perception system, or are merely evidence of post-perceptual decision biases. The failure to resolve this debate may be attributed to the shortcomings of many of the previously used behavioral methodologies, which have been unable to ensure that subject responses in phoneme decision tasks have their locus in pre-lexical phonetic processes, rather than post-lexical phonolog
