On the Limits and Horizons of Translation Poetic Texts Between Cognate Languages: Alda Merini. A Case Study The present study concentrates on translation between cognated languages poetic genre with a contrastive approach. In order to demonstrate degree influence when trasferring interlinguistically poem, we will rely contributions theorits explain process transfer. For our purpose, have select...

This article deals with the issue of dialogue as a speech genre and  component dramatic text. Because being limited, only contrastive analysis first stage expository dialogue  original and translated texts “Hamlet” is conducted in this article. The exposition ‘Hamlet’ consists two different but interrelated stages – at presented  conversation between Hamlet his friends within sec...

This pape.r shows that contrastive Hebbian, the algorithm used in mean field learning, can be applied to any continuous Hopfield model. This implies that non-logistic activation functions as well as self connections are allowed. Contrary to previous approaches, the learning algorithm is derived without considering it a mean field approximation to Boltzmann machine learning. The paper includes a...

Phonological neighborhood density (ND) conditions variation in a number of acoustic phonetic properties of words. For example, previous research has shown greater hyperarticulation and greater nasal coarticulation in high-ND English words than in low-ND words. Here, we investigate the effects of ND on vowel hyperarticulation and vowel nasality (coarticulatory and contrastive) in French. Acousti...

This study aims at determining whether there are visual cues to contrastive focus in French. An audiovisual corpus was recorded from a male native speaker of French consisting of sentences with a subject-verb-object (SVO) syntactic structure. Four conditions were studied: focus on each phrase (S,V,O) and broad focus. The corpus was first acoustically validated: the pitch maximum over the uttera...

Domain adaptation is an active field of research in statistical machine translation (SMT), but so far most work has ignored the distinction between the topic and genre of documents. In this paper we quantify and disentangle the impact of genre and topic differences on translation quality by introducing a new data set that has controlled topic and genre distributions. In addition, we perform a d...

In this chapter, we discuss different options for using genre-related information in Web search. We conduct an experiment on merging genre-related and text-relevance rankings using a reference Web collection. A method for automatic extraction of formality score akin to readability score using canonical discriminant analysis applied to a sample of genres with decreasing formality is proposed. Ef...

This article reports on a study investigating the intonational realization of context-changing and context-preserving contrastive topics in German. Results of the pilot study show that both kinds of topics can be marked by different pitch accents on the topic constituent, although speakerspecific differences emerge. When speakers do use different pitch accents, low rises (L*H) exclusively occur...

This study investigates the phonetics of German nuclear rise-fall contours in relation to contexts that trigger either a contrastive or a non-contrastive interpretation in the answer. A rise-fall contour can be conceived of a tonal sequence of L-H-L. A production study elicited target sentences in contrastive and non-contrastive contexts. The majority of cases realized showed a nuclear rise-fal...

In this paper we argue that a combination of Actor-Network Theory (ANT) and Genre Theory can constitute a theoretical framework for understanding how digital genres evolve. Genre theory states that genres evolve over time through reciprocal interaction between institutionalized practices and individual action; that they develop from actors’ responses to recurrent situations, and are shaped ar...
