Hence it is generally agreed that the bilingual child acquires two separate grammars (e.g., Meisel, 1989, Genesee et al., 1995). Yet this separation does...

The covert interhemispheric transfer of linguistic information was demonstrated in a commissurotomy patient with bilateral language organization. It was found that under conditions of unilateral stimulation, a verbal association established in one hemisphere was available to the untrained hemisphere as well. Such interhemispheric transfer was observed only for phonetically codable information. ...

South African languages (and indigenous African languages in general) lag behind other languages in terms of the availability of linguistic resources. Efforts to improve or fasttrack the development of linguistic resources are required to bridge this ever-increasing gap.

The availability of machine-readable bilingual linguistic resources is crucial not only for machine translation but also for other applications such as cross-lingual information retrieval. However, the building of such resources demands extensive manual work. This paper describes a methodology to build automatically bilingual dictionaries and transfer rules by extracting knowledge from word-ali...

In this paper we develop and present a methodology for deriving ranked lists of such features. Using very large learner data, we show our method’s ability to find ...
