Event-related potential studies of rhyme judgments in alphabetic languages show that nonrhyming word pairs elicit a larger negative-going wave peaking at 450 ms after stimulus onset than rhyming word pairs. We use Chinese characters to explore the extent to which this N450 rhyming effect reflects phonological processing. Using Chinese characters provides an advantage over alphabetic scripts bec...

The paper reports an initial study on computational poetry generation for Bengali. Bengali is a morpho-syntactically rich language and partially phonemic. The poetry generation task has been defined as a follow-up rhythmic sequence generation based on user input. The design process involves rhythm understanding from the given input and follow-up rhyme generation by leveraging syllable/phonetic ...

The phonological awareness (PA), vocabulary, and word reading abilities of 19 children with cochlear implants (CI) were assessed. Nine children had an implant early (between 2 and 3.6 years) and 10 had an implant later (between 5 and 7 years). Participants were tested twice over a 12-month period on syllable, rhyme, and phoneme awareness (see James et al., 2005). Performance of CI users was com...

The mechanisms underlying short-term sentence recall have been the subject of recent investigations. While both semantic and phonological information have been found to play a role in sentence recall, this has been established using different paradigms in previous research. As a result, it is not clear whether the contributions of semantic and phonological information are equivalent subject onl...

Abstract This article analyses the romantic-Zionist poetry of Nina Davis Salaman, contextualising it alongside other fin-de-siècle Zionist poets to argue that she too similarly adopted bibliocentric, prophetic, and diasporic perspectives, particularly themes associated with medieval Andalusian Judah Halevi. In doing so, much like Anglo-Jewish women writers, defined her own subjectivity in conte...

One of the important tasks at any stage teaching a foreign language, including French, is to maintain and improve pronunciation skills. The phonetic process that facilitates formation such skills rhyme.
