Teaching approaches to Computer Assisted Language Learning
Computers have been used for language teaching ever since the 1960's.Learning a second language is a challenging endeavor, and, for decades now, proponents of computer assisted language learning (CALL) have declared that help is on the horison. We investigate the suitability of deploying speech technology in computer based systems that can be used to teach foreign language skills. In this case,...
متن کاملConnectionist Approaches to Natural Language Processing
With the growing popularity of statistical approaches to natural language processing, it is natural to consider how connectionist techniques for learning and using soft constraints might be applicable to this area. However, nagging questions about the representational and computational adequacy of connectionist networks for processing language make the fruitfulness of this endeavor uncertain. T...
متن کاملGrammar-based connectionist approaches to language
This article describes an approach to connectionist language research that relies on the development of grammar formalisms rather than computer models. From formulations of the fundamental theoretical commitments of connectionism and of generative grammar, it is argued that these two paradigms are mutually compatible. Integrating the basic assumptions of the paradigms results in formal theories...
متن کاملSystematicity in Connectionist Language Learning
In 1988 Fodor and Pylyshyn issued a challenge to the newly-popular connectionism: explain the systematicity of cognition without merely implementing a so-called classical architecture. Since that time quite a number of connectionist models have been put forward, either by their designers or by others, as in some measure demonstrating that the challenge can be met (e.g., Pollack 1988, 1990; Smol...
