In four lexical decision experiments, we investigated masked morphological priming with Dutch prefixed words. Reliable effects of morphological relatedness were obtained with visual primes and visual targets in the absence of effects due to pure form overlap. In certain conditions, priming effects were significantly greater with semantically transparent prefixed primes (e.g., rename-name) relat...

A morpho-syntactic tagger associates to each word of a corpus a label which recapitulates its morpho-syntatic properties in the text. In corpora from oral data, not only do we have to face the usual problem of multi-labels words, but also the more specific problems of disfluences (repetitions, ungrammatical constructions...), of non existing words and of the lack of punctuation marks [1]. First...

RÉSUMÉ. Le but de l’alignement des textes est la mise en correspondance des sous-parties similaires de deux ou plusieurs traductions ou versions d’un même écrit. La plupart des méthodes utilisées dans la technique d’alignement reposent sur l’analyse statistique des fréquences de mots ou de caractères, ou sur la cooccurrence des chaînes que ceux-ci constituent. Afin d’en améliorer l’efficacité, ...

This paper presents an implementation of Brill's Transformation-Based Part-of-Speech (POS) tagging algorithm trained on a manually-annotated Twitter-based Egyptian Arabic corpus of 423,691 tokens and 70,163 types. Unlike standard POS morphosyntactic annotation schemes which label each word based on its word-level morphosyntactic features, we use a function-based annotation scheme in which words...

Morphological reinflection is the task of generating a target form given a source form and the morpho-syntactic attributes of the target (and, optionally, of the source). This work presents the submission of Bar Ilan University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the morphological reinflection shared task held at SIGMORPHON 2016. The submission includes two recurrent neural networ...

Thymus is a bilobed organ usually situated in the superior mediastinum. Thymus is normally active until puberty and as age advances it undergoes considerable fibrofatty degeneration and is replaced by fatty tissue. We found a persistent thymus in an adult male cadaver aged 70 years approximately. It apparently looked healthy. Hence the objective of this study was to know the morpho-histology of...

The developing CA3 hippocampus is comprised by highly connected hub neurons that are particularly effective in achieving network synchronization. Functional hub neurons were shown to be exclusively GABAergic, suggesting that the contribution of glutamatergic neurons to physiological synchronization processes at early postnatal stages is minimal. However, without fast GABAergic transmission, a d...

The aim of this study was to present a new working memory test following the line of work started by García-Madruga et al. (2007) and to examine its relation to reading comprehension and propositional reasoning measures. In that study we designed a new working memory span test--based on Daneman & Carpenter's (1980) Reading Span Test (RST)--in which the processing task called for an inferential ...

Two-photon spectral resolved imaging was used to image fresh human biopsies of colon tissue and to characterize healthy colon mucosa, adenomatous polyp and adenocarcinoma by means of a morpho-functional analysis. Morphological examination, performed using endogenous tissue fluorescence, discriminated adenomatous and adenocarcinoma tissues from normal mucosa in terms of cellular asymmetry and nu...

Most of the research on the extraction of idiomatic multiword expressions (MWEs) focused on the acquisition of MWE types. In the present work we investigate whether a text instance of a potentially idiomatic MWE is actually used idiomatically in a given context or not. Inspired by the dataset provided by (Cook et al., 2008), we manually analysed 9,700 instances of potentially idiomatic preposit...
