Interference is a language phenomenon that often occurs in Indonesian Languagelingual societies. This study reveals the Mandarin interference speech Chinese community of Makassar City. concerns main problem, namely how form The analyzed includes phonological, morphological, and syntactic interference. uses descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection was done by direct observation, intervi...

Event-related potential (ERP) data in monolingual German speakers have shown that sentential metric expectancy violations elicit a biphasic ERP pattern consisting of an anterior negativity and a posterior positivity (P600). This pattern is comparable to that elicited by syntactic violations. However, proficient French late learners of German do not detect violations of metric expectancy in Germ...

Within the domain of inflectional morpho-syntax, differential processing of regular and irregular forms has been found in healthy speakers and in aphasia. One view assumes that irregular forms are retrieved as full entities, while regular forms are compiled on-line. An alternative view holds that a single mechanism oversees regular and irregular forms. Arabic offers an opportunity to study this...

This paper presents a word sense disambiguation (WSD) approach based on syntactic and logical representations. The objective here is to run a number of experiments to compare standard contexts (word windows, sentence windows) with contexts provided by a dependency parser (syntactic context) and a logical analyzer (logico-semantic context). The approach presented here relies on a dependency gram...

This study was motivated by the researchers’ goal to unfold the quality of the English translations of Persian tourism industry texts and discover the most frequent error patterns the Iranian non-native translators have committed in such texts. Thus, the following research questions were addressed: 1) Are the English versions of Persian tourist guidebooks and multimedia compact discs provided b...

To guarantee a good quality of synthesized speech in a rule-based synthesis, detailed and accurate segmental and suprasegmental rules for a given text are necessary. Especially, much work on the prosodic structure is needed. The goal of this study is to examine roles of syntactic information, intonation pattern, and phrase final lengthening in formation of prosodic units or perception of a phra...

This year, we made changes to the passage/sentence retrieval component of ILQUA in handling factoid and list questions. All the other components remain same. ILQUA is an IE-driven QA system. To answer “Factoid” and “List” questions, we apply our answer extraction methods on NE-tagged passages or sentences. The answer extraction methods adopted here are surface text pattern matching, n-gram prox...

In this paper, we describe the use of formal methods to model malware behaviour. The modelling of harmful behaviour rests upon syntactic structures that represent malicious procedures inside malware. The malicious activities are modelled by a formal grammar, where API calls’ components are the terminals and the set of API calls used in combination to achieve a goal are designated non-terminals....

In this paper we present a new fuzzy language } FOHDEL } for the syntactic description of handwritten symbols. The presented language incorporates the fuzzy logic techniques to describe the syntactic relations of the semantic features extracted from a symbol pattern. A FOHDEL rule-base represents the compact feature information extracted from a small number of character prototypes and covers va...

This paper represents the procedure of building syntactic knowledge base. This study is to construct basic sentence pattern automatically by using the POS-tagged corpus in balanced KAIST corpus, and electronic dictionary for Korean, and to construct syntactic knowledge base with specific information added to the lexicographer's analysis. The summary of work process will be as follows: 1) Extrac...
