The collocation problem for noisy data with a piecewise constant noise variance is considered. An equivalence to the WIENERKOLMOGOROV equations in stationary collocation theory is constructed. A numerical solution based on HAAR wavelets is given.

Unlike Lexical Projections, Functional Projections (Extended Projections) are more of an ‘abstract’ in nature. Therefore, Functional Projections seem to be acquired later than Lexical Projections by the L2 learners. The present study investigates Iranian L2 learners’ acquisition of English Extended Projections taking into account their level of grammatical proficiency. Specifically, the aim is ...

The collocation of software development teams is common, especially in agile software development environments. However little is known about the impact of collocation on the team’s effectiveness. This paper explores the impact of collocating agile software development teams on a number of team effectiveness factors. The study focused on South African software development teams and gathered dat...

Systemic functional grammar constructs a grammar for the purpose of text analysis to investigate how grammar is used as a means of making meaning. Grammatical metaphor is one of the language phenomena introduced by Halliday (2004) in the framework of functional grammar. The present work focuses on the application of Halliday’s metafunctional framework in health texts of English newspapers. The ...

Frequencies and discourse functions of grammatical subject types were investigated in a corpus of forty results and discussion sections selected from four disciplines (Applied Linguistics, Psychology, Chemistry, and Environmental Engineering). The results and discussion sections were selected from research articles that were published in 2008-2012 issues of prestigious high journals of ...

Assessment  of  grammatical  knowledge  is  a  rather  neglected  area  of  research  in  the  field with  many  open  questions  (Purpura,  2004).  The  present  research  incorporates  recent proposals  about  the  nature  of  grammatical  development  to  create  a  framework  consisting of dimensions of complexity, range and strength, and studies which dimension(s) can best predict the stat...

‎In this paper‎, ‎an approach based on statistical spline model (SSM) and collocation method is proposed to solve Volterra-Fredholm integral equations‎. ‎The set of collocation nodes is chosen so that the points yield minimal error in the nodal polynomials‎. ‎Under some standard assumptions‎, ‎we establish the convergence property of this approach‎. ‎Numerical results on some problems are given...

the objective of this paper ts to investigate into the lexical collocation in persian language. to achieve this goal , the existing literature will be reviewed, so as to put forward the relation between lexical collocation and the theory of semantic fields
