The emergence of creole subject-verb agreement

Functional analysis of Subject and Verb in Theses Abstracts on Applied Linguistics

The purpose of the present study is to analyse abstracts related to Applied Linguistics, and more precisely the discourse functions of grammatical subjects and verbs. The corpus consisted of 50 PhD thesis abstracts written on the subject of Applied Linguistics. All of the abstracts were written from 2010 to 2014. The theses from which the abstracts were extracted are available in the ProQuest d...

Parallelized Power Iteration Clustering of Nouns and Verbs using Subject-Verb and Verb-Object Pairs

We explore the use of Power Iteration Clustering for large-scale clustering of nouns and verbs, using subject-verb-object triple relations. We have implemented a parallelized version of PIC, which can efficiently handle clustering of hundreds of thousands of sparse “documents.” We tested our implementation on clustering of over 1 million noun phrases, and over 650K verb phrases. We also evaluat...

Conflicting cues and competition in subject–verb agreement

Traditional theories of agreement production assume that verb agreement is an essentially syntactic process. However, recent work shows that agreement is subject to a variety of influences both syntactic and non-syntactic, which raises the question of how these different sources of information are integrated during agreement production. We propose an account of agreement production in which sev...
