Writing the grammar of a language is one of the most significant outputs of linguistic studies. In Iran, it is Avicenna (Ibn-e Sina) who is credited with the first such compilation of the Persian language. Understanding the weaknesses associated with the traditional trends of grammar writing in Iran, contemporary Iranian linguists adopted the modern Western approach following the Chomskyan Turn...

Typological discourse analysis is the study of those factors that affect the choice of constructions in a language, taking the surrounding discourse context into account. Typically, texts from a large number of languages are analyzed quantitatively in order to discover statistical regularities between functional parameters affecting the choice of alternations. Examples of alternations are activ...

This article lays out an approach that combines a formal-generative perspective on language, including tolerance of abstract analyses, with a typological focus on comparing unrelated languages from around the world. It argues that this can be a powerful combination for discovering linguistic universals and patterns in linguistic variation that are not detected by other means.

Word-order typology often uses the linear order of binary grammatical pairs in sentences to classify a language. The present paper proposes a method based on dependency treebanks as a typological means. This paper investigates 20 languages using treebanks with different sizes from 16 K to 1 million dependencies. The results show that some languages are more head-initial or head-final than other...

We will provide an analysis of negative concord in sentential negation in three languages, French, Polish and German. The focus of the paper is (1) the typological variation with respect to the realization of negative concord in the three languages under investigation and (2) the treatment of lexical exceptions within the different typological classes. We will propose a unified theory of negati...

Case-based reasoning is a paradigm inmachine learningwhose idea is that a new problem can be solved by noticing its similarity to a set of problems previously solved. We propose a new approach to case-based reasoning. It is based on rough set theory that is amathematical theory for reasoning about data. More precisely, we adopt Dominance-based Rough Set Approach (DRSA) that is particularly appr...

The paper introduces a method of digital mapping of spatial distribution of soil typological units. It implements fuzzy k-means to classify the soil profile data (study area from the Považský Inovec Mountains, Slovakia) and regression-kriging with the selected digital terrain and remote sensing data to draw membership maps of soil typological units. Totally three soil typological units were ide...
