Creoles as interlanguages: word-formation
The idea that processes of second language acquisition (SLA) are highly relevant to an account of creole genesis is far from new or original (see Plag (2008a) for some discussion and further references). However, it is still controversial which kinds of SLA processes are relevant, and how much of a given creole’s structures can be attributed to such processes. In my previous three Columns (Plag...
متن کاملCross-Cultural Study of Expressive Avatars∗
Avatars play an important role in international online communities. While certain simple expressions, such as facial emotional expressions are cultural independent, more complex expressions might not be. Therefore we conducted a cross-cultural study to investigate the influence of the users’ cultural background (Japanese or Dutch) on their perception of avatar’s expressions in terms of perceive...
متن کاملThe Formation of Ghettos as a Local Interaction Phenomenon
I analyze a simple evolutionary model of residential segregation based on decentralized racism which extends Schelling’s (1972) well-known tipping model by allowing for local interaction between residents. The richer set-up explains not only the persistence of ghettos, but also provides a mechanism for the rapid transition from an all-white to an all-black equilibrium. On one-dimensional street...
متن کاملLearning Expressive Models for Word Sense Disambiguation
We present a novel approach to the word sense disambiguation problem which makes use of corpus-based evidence combined with background knowledge. Employing an inductive logic programming algorithm, the approach generates expressive disambiguation rules which exploit several knowledge sources and can also model relations between them. The approach is evaluated in two tasks: identification of the...
متن کاملThe Expressive Power of Word Embeddings
We seek to better understand the information encoded in word embeddings. We propose several tasks that help to distinguish the characteristics of different publicly released embeddings. Our evaluation shows that embeddings are able to capture surprisingly nuanced semantics even in the absence of sentence structure. Moreover, benchmarking the embeddings shows great variance in quality and charac...
