Detecting neologisms is essential in real-time natural language processing applications. Not only can it enable to follow the lexical evolution of languages, but it is also essential for updating linguistic resources and parsers. In this paper, neology detection is considered as a classification task where a system has to assess whether a given lexical item is an actual neologism or not. We pro...

The technological underpinnings of the concept of user-generated content have to be sought in the rise of Web 2.0. This playful name (which draws on the convention of referring incrementally to an improved version of a software application) stands for the advanced interactive stage in internet experience, and it is the modern affordances that come with it which make user-generated content happe...

Techniques of hesitation analysis taken from studies of normal speakers were applied to the speech of a jargon aphasic. Neologisms were found to follow pauses indicating a word-finding difficulty. Other language functions-phonology, morphology, and syntax-appeared unimpaired, and further analyses of the linguistic and temporal characteristics indicated a single functional disorder in which ther...

The paper describes a computational approach for guessing the meanings of previously unaccounted words in an implemented system for natural language processing. Interested in comparing the results to what is known about human guessing, it reviews a largely educational approach, partially based on cognitive psychology, to teaching humans, mostly children, to acquire new vocabulary from contextua...

Part-of-speech (POS) taggers are more or less robust with respect to the labeling of unknown words not found in the training corpus. It is important to know precisely how these tools perfom when we target part-of-speech tagging for formal neologisms. Indeed, grammatical category is an important criterion for both their identification and documentation. We present an evaluation and comparison of...

Vocabulary acquisition is such a major aspect of language learning in children, but also in adults when learning a foreign language, that a dedicated vocabulary learning device may exist within the language organ. To identify the relevant brain systems, we performed regional cerebral blood flow measurements in normal subjects while they were learning a list of neologisms or a list of word-nonwo...

Abstract Adopting the perspective of Peircean semiotics, work proposes to analyze concept disin-formation based on phenomenon fake news and “post-truth” neologism associated with it. We review some contemporary informational theories, which start from relationship between communication, computing, society technologies, demonstrate need broaden strictly analytical view information, albeit ground...

The tourist flows between the Arabic-speaking world and the West have strengthened the need to develop several Arabic websites, brochures, guidebooks etc. in order to be closer to Arabic speaking visitors to Western countries. In the field of tourism, English has a predominant role and the Arabic language, through different strategies of word-formation, is reacting to Western influence by gener...

: The concept of experience by John Dewey revisited: conceiving, feeling and “enliving”. Dewey takes a few steps towards a differentiation of the concept of experience, such as the distinction between primary and secondary experience, or between ordinary (partial, raw, primitive) experience and complete, aesthetic experience. However, he does not provide a systematic elaboration of these distin...
