Neglect dyslexia is a reading impairment acquired as a consequence of brain injury characterized by failures to read verbal material on the left side of a text or at the beginning of words. Neglect dyslexia patients make many errors when naming isolated words, whereas they perform nearly normally when required to make a lexical decision judgment. This behavior has been interpreted in terms of a...

Spelling errors that happen to result in a real word in the lexicon cannot be detected by a conventional spelling checker. We present a method for detecting and correcting many such errors by identifying tokens that are semantically unrelated to their context and are spelling variations of words that would be related to the context. Relatedness to context is determined by a measure of semantic ...

Abstract The study examined whether a classification of errors based on Hendriks and Kolk’s (1997) proposal would effectively characterize the reading profile children learning two orthographies varying for regularity, such as Italian English. considered both an age-match grade-match comparison. Offline analysis error production was carried out lists stimuli: List 1 including regular words freq...

This paper presents two classifications of errors in Czech texts. As a basic resource we use the corpus (Chyby – Errors) which has been continuously developed from 1999–2000 ([1]). The corpus text contains various kinds of errors such as spelling, typographical, grammatical, semantic, lexical, and stylistic ones. They have been corrected manually and annotated according to the classification of...

Theories of language production have long been expressed as connectionist models. We outline the issues and challenges that must be addressed by connectionist models of lexical access and grammatical encoding, and review three recent models. The models illustrate the value of an interactive activation approach to lexical access in production, the need for sequential output in both phonological ...

This paper describes the development of a metric for measuring the semantic distance or similarity of words using the WordNet lexical database. Such a metric could be of use in development of search engines and text retrieval systems, tasks for which the richness of natural language can cause difficulty. Further, such a metric can prove invaluable to psycholinguists who wish to study lexical se...

Treebanks are not large enough to reliably model precise lexical phenomena. This deficiency provokes attachment errors in the parsers trained on such data. We propose in this paper to compute lexical affinities, on large corpora, for specific lexico-syntactic configurations that are hard to disambiguate and introduce the new information in a parser. Experiments on the French Treebank showed a r...

Translation is recognized as a specific linguistic ability in bilinguals. Yet, we know little about what factors influence translation ability, especially at the sentence level. In this study, adults were asked to translate sentences from English (L2) into Italian (L1). We hypothesized that (1) adults with later age of arrival in Canada would perform better in translating into their native lang...

Can native listeners rapidly adapt to suprasegmental mispronunciations in foreign-accented speech? To address this question, an exposure-test paradigm was used to test whether Dutch listeners can improve their understanding of non-canonical lexical stress in Hungarian-accented Dutch. During exposure, one group of listeners heard a Dutch story with only initially stressed words, whereas another ...

The article deals with the study of influence interlingual interference in practice teaching Ukrainian language a Turkish-speaking audience. research was carried out on material typical graphic, phonetic and lexical errors, selected as result long-term observations speech students who begin to learn foreign (levels A-1, А-2, B-1). Attention is focused systemic, structural (graphic, phonetic, le...
