Based on the materials of Russian dialects Outer Manchuria, this article examines previously unstudied group adverbs – place. The methods continuous sampling and descriptive-analytical analysis revealed 56 place in second edition “Dictionary Dialects Manchuria”. Despite fact that literary language are have been thoroughly studied from perspective their semantics, m...

Sentiment analysis is an application of natural language processing (NLP) that requires a machine learning algorithm and dataset. In some cases, the dataset availability scarce, particularly with Arabic dialects, precisely Bahraini ones, which necessitates using approach such as translation, where rich source exploited to create target this study, Amazon product reviews in dialects presented. T...

This study presents a data-driven categorisation (cluster analysis) of 86 Swedish dialects, based on durational measurements of long and short vowels and consonants. The study reveals a clear geographic distribution that, for the most part, corresponds with dialectological descriptions. For a minor group of dialects, however, the results suggest mismatches between the quantity system and the ob...

We describe several systems for identifying short samples of Arabic or SwissGerman dialects, which were prepared for the shared task of the 2017 DSLWorkshop (Zampieri et al., 2017). The Arabic data comprises both text and acoustic files, and our best run combined both. The SwissGerman data is text-only. Coincidently, our best runs achieved a accuracy of nearly 63% on both the Swiss-German and A...

We present MAGEAD, a morphological analyzer and generator for the Arabic language family. Our work is novel in that it explicitly addresses the need for processing the morphology of the dialects. MAGEAD performs an on-line analysis to or generation from a root+pattern+features representation, it has separate phonological and orthographic representations, and it allows for combining morphemes fr...

Lexical pitch accent languages such as Swedish and Japanese have been claimed to exhibit variation in phonological inventory and/or phonetic manifestation of pitch accents. This paper reports variations in the phonetic manifestation as well as phonological patterning of the lexical H*+L pitch accent in two Ryukyuan dialects – Shuri and Nakijin. The F0 manifestation of H*+L pitch accent in the t...

This research suggests a method for machine translation among two Kurdish dialects. We chose the two widely spoken dialects, Kurmanji and Sorani, which are considered to be mutually unintelligible. Also, despite being spoken by about 30 million people in different countries, Kurdish is among less-resourced languages. The research used bi-dialectal dictionaries and showed that the lack of parall...

This paper describes a project which has explored the feasibility of using a computer to perform a significant portion of the changes required to adapt text from one dialect to several others. This ongoing experiment has examined adaptation between various dialects of Quechua, finding that a computer program may be an important tool for adaptation. An experimental computer program was written a...

The Northern and Western dialects of the Mon-Khmer language Kammu use fundamental frequency to distinguish words, while the Eastern dialect relies on the contrastive voicing of initial consonants to distinguish words which display an F0 contrast in the other dialects. The production and perception of tones in the three dialects is investigated, using recordings and perception tests. As expected...

Identifying the different varieties of the same language is more challenging than unrelated languages identification. In this paper, we propose an approach to discriminate language varieties or dialects of Mandarin Chinese for the Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macao, Malaysia and Singapore, a.k.a., the Greater China Region (GCR). When applied to the dialects identification of the GCR, we f...
