We develop a general framework for weighted parsing which is built on top of grammar-based language models and employs multioperator monoids (M-monoids) as weight algebras. It generalizes previous work in that area, e.g., semiring deductive parsing, also covers applications outside the classical scope algebraic dynamic programming. More specifically, we introduce RTG-based (where RTG stands reg...

The present study aimed at providing a typology of Iranian supervisors’ written feedback on L2 graduate students’ theses/dissertations and examining the way different speech functions are employed to put the supervisors’ thoughts and feelings into words. In so doing, a corpus of comments, including 15,198 comments provided on 87 TEFL theses and dissertations by 30 supervisors were analyzed. We ...
