Identifying trends in word frequency dynamics
The word-stock of a language is a complex dynamical system in which words can be created, evolve, and become extinct. Even more dynamic are the short-term fluctuations in word usage by individuals in a population. Building on the recent demonstration that word niche is a strong determinant of future rise or fall in word frequency, here we introduce a model that allows us to distinguish persiste...
متن کاملExemplar dynamics: Word frequency, lenition and contrast
Over the last decades, a considerable body of evidence has accumulated that speakers have detailed phonetic knowledge of a type which is not readily modelled using the categories and categorical rules of phonological theory. One line of evidence is systematic differences between languages in fine details of pronunciation. For example, it is known that Spanish and English differ systematically i...
متن کاملIdentifying Research Trends in IS
The Information Systems (IS) discipline is a relatively young and rapidly evolving field of study, and its roots can be found within diverse disciplines. While these roots have been studied thoroughly and discussed at length, little is known about the emergent areas of research within the discipline. In this study, we map the IS discipline based on all publications in the top IS journals from 2...
متن کاملWord frequency as a cue for identifying function words in infancy.
While content words (e.g., 'dog') tend to carry meaning, function words (e.g., 'the') mainly serve syntactic purposes. Here, we ask whether 17-month old infants can use one language-universal cue to identify function word candidates: their high frequency of occurrence. In Experiment 1, infants listened to a series of short, naturally recorded sentences in a foreign language (i.e., in French). I...
متن کاملIdentifying Word Boundaries in Handwritten Text
Recent work on extracting features of gaps in handwritten text allows a classification of these gaps into inter-word and intra-word classes using suitable classification techniques. In the previous work, we apply different supervised classification algorithms from the machine learning field on both the original gap dataset and the gap dataset with the best features selected using mutual informa...
