Code-switching is a widespread phenomenon in bilingual speech, and it is therefore not surprising that a great proportion of research on bilingualism focuses on this topic. Most researchers, who have paid attention to code-switching, have however been concerned with the sociological interpretation and discourse functions, i.e. the socio-pragmatic aspect, of code-switching. For this reason, ling...

in this paper, efforts are made to compare the safety of steel moment resistant frames designed according to different editions of the iranian code of practice for seismic resistant design of buildings. also, failure risk of a low and medium height frame which designed for high and low seismicity regions according to three editions of the code are evaluated. first, the testing cases were design...

To train a code switching language model for mixed language speech recognition, we propose to assign weights to the sentence pairs in the parallel text data. The code switching language model which is composed of the code switching boundary prediction model, code switching translation model and reconstruction model is incorporated with a language for mixed language speech recognition. The code ...

Generally the existing monolingual corpora are not suitable for large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) of codeswitching speech. The motivation of this paper is to study the rules and constraints code-switching follows and design a corpus for code-switching LVCSR task. This paper presents the development of a Mandarin-English code-switching corpus. This corpus consists of four pa...

Reducing switching activity would significantly reduce power consumption of a processor chip. In this paper, we present two novel techniques, Gray code addressing and Cold scheduling, for reducing switching activity on high performance processors. We use Gray code which has only one-bit different in conseuctive number for addressing. Due to locality of program execution, Gray code addressing ca...

Language identification (LID) is a process to identify the languages used in a text or speech. Code switching is the switching of a language in a sentence or speech utterance. This paper focuses on LID of words in code switching sentences. Code switching can occur intersentential or intrasentential. The reasons why a writer switches from one language to another due to various reasons and among ...

We show that the theoretical construct “phase” underlies a number of restrictions on code-switching, in particular those formalized under the Principle of Functional Restriction (González-Vilbazo 2005) and the Phonetic Form Interface Condition (MacSwan and Colina 2014). The fundamental hypothesis that code-switching should be studied using the same tools that we use for monolingual phenomena is...
