This study aims at investigating whether Persian native speakers highly advanced in English as a second language (L2ers) can switch to optimal processing strategies in the languages they know and whether working memory capacity (WMC) plays a role in this respect. To this end, using a self-paced reading task, we examined the processing strategies 62 Persian speaking proficient L2ers used to read...

One of the most important properties of human languages is their ability to convey intricate meanings. The vastness and effectiveness of those meanings for everyday communication and reasoning transcends all known non-human languages, including other animal languages and artificial languages. For studying communication and reasoning in language, an indispensable empirical concept is entailment:...

The existing literature on Bantu verbal semantics demonstrated that inherent semantic content of verbs pairs directly with the selection of tense, aspect and modality formatives in Bantu languages like Chasu, Lucazi, Lusamia, and Shiyeyi. Thus, the gist of this paper is the articulation of semantic classification of verbs in Kiswahili based on the selection of TAM types. This is because the sem...

Compared to imperative programming languages like Pascal or Basic, or functional programming languages like ML or Haskell learning Java is hampered by the fact that to get even the simplest running program the learner has to define a public class and a method with a certain signature. We present both a stand-alone and a webbased interpreter which execute Java fragments and relieve the learner f...

Information Extraction(IE) is a burgeoning technique because of the explosion of internet. So far, most of the IE systems are focusing on English text; and most of them are in the supervised learning framework, which requires large amount of human labor; and most of them can only work in narrow domain, which is domain dependent. These systems are difficult to be ported to other languages, other...

Fortran is still a very dominant language for scientific computations. However it lacks modern language features like strong typing, object orientation, and other design features of modern programming languages. Therefore, among scientists there is an increasing interest in object oriented languages like Java. In this paper, we will discuss a number of prospects and problems in Java for scienti...
