In this paper, we show that the Lexical Functions (LFs) of the Explanatory Combinatorial Dictionary are well suited for addressing some lexical questions in text generation like collocations and textual phenomena. We first describe LFs and divide them into two subsets: paradigmatic LFs and syntagmatic LFs. In particular, we see how paradigmatic LFs can be used for coreferential relations and de...

the exploitation of the academic sector research findings, and commercializing them is an important priority. the purpose of this research was to design a model for the commercialization of research findings of the department of electrical engineering of razi university of kermanshah. the study was a fundamental research which was conducted by the use of a grounded theory approach.research fiel...

An unsupervised methodology for Word Sense Disambiguation, called Dynamic Domain Sense Tagging, is presented. It relies on the convergence of two very well known unsupervised approaches (i.e. Domain Driven Disambiguation and Conceptual Density). For each target word a domain is dynamically modeled by expanding the its topical context, i.e. a set of words evoking the underlying/implict domain wh...

This paper will take the view that common to many of the new challenges facing analysts is the apparent compositional and behavioural complexity of the systems of interest. The principle characteristics of complex systems are therefore be considered at some length. By assuming the ubiquity of complexity, it is argued that the pure adoption of a viewpoint that presumes the existence of an absolu...

This paper deals with the impact of the salience of complex words and their constituent parts on lexical access. While almost 40 years of psycholinguistic studies have focused on the relevance of morphological structure for word recognition, little attention has been devoted to the relationship between the word as a whole unit and its constituent morphemes. Depending on the theoretical approach...

This study explores the effects of informational redundancy, as carried by a word's morphological paradigmatic structure, on acoustic duration in read aloud speech. The hypothesis that the more predictable a linguistic unit is, the less salient its realization, was tested on the basis of the acoustic duration of interfixes in Dutch compounds in two datasets: One for the interfix -s- (1155 token...

PURPOSE This study examined lexical-semantic organization of bilingual children in their 2 languages and in relation to monolingual age-mates. METHOD Twelve Mandarin-English bilingual and 12 English monolingual children generated 3 associations to each of 36 words. Responses were coded as paradigmatic (dog-cat) or syntagmatic (dog-bark). RESULTS Within the bilingual group, word association ...

Subject-verb agreement mismatches have been reported in the L2 and heritage literature, usually involving infinitives, analyzed as default morphological forms for fully specified T-heads. This article explores mechanisms behind these mismatches, testing two hypotheses: form surface-similarity hypotheses. It compares non-finite finite S-V with subjects different persons, whether similarity other...
