This paper investigates the second language (L2) acquisition of Turkish category Ad tamlaması (AT). AT consists an umbrella term which is encountered in grammars and L2-Turkish coursebooks to refer three forms Nominal Syntagmatic Sets (NSS), namely a) N-(n)In N-(s)I(n), b) N N-(s)I(n) c) N-(y) . trying examine whether apparently formal similarity these 3 Tamlaması (NSS-AT) can be correlated wit...

Chunking is segmenting a text into chunks, sub-sentential segments, that Abney approximately defined as stress groups. Chunking usually uses monolingual resources, most often exhaustive, sometimes partial : function words and punctuations, which often mark beginnings and ends of chunks. But, to extend this method to other languages, monolingual resources have to be multiplied. We present a new ...

In this paper we compare different context selection approaches to improve the creation of Emotive Vector Space Models (VSMs). The system is based on the results of an existing approach that showed the possibility to create and update VSMs by exploiting crowdsourcing and human annotation. Here, we introduce a method to manipulate the contexts of the VSMs under the assumption that the emotive co...

This paper describes some aspects of a pronunciation dictionary for Swedish, "Svenskt Utlalslexikon" (SUL), which is piesenUy developed at our departm ent This dictionary provides, among other items, three kinds of information about Swedish pronunciation that are not included in standard dictionaries: information on varian ts , on inflected form s and com pounds, and on p ro p er names. SUL is ...

Our work addresses automatic detection of enunciations and segments with reformulations in French spoken corpora. The proposed approach is syntagmatic. It is based on reformulation markers and specificities of spoken language. The reference data are built manually and have gone through consensus. Automatic methods, based on rules and CRF machine learning, are proposed in order to detect the enu...

In this paper, we introduce a model for sense assignment which relies on assigning senses to the contexts within which words appear, rather than to the words themselves. We argue that word senses as such are not directly encoded in the lexicon of the language. Rather, each word is associated with one or more stereotypical syntagmatic patterns, which we call selection contexts. Each selection co...

Vowel reduction suppresses phonetic information in the speech signal and should be understood as having an analogous impact on phonological representations. Reduction follows two apparently contradictory routes in vowel space, yielding either centralised values (the ‘centripetal’ pattern) or the corner values a, i, u (the ‘centrifugal’ pattern). What unifies these vowels is the relative simplic...

This article describes the syntagmatic and paradigmatic approaches to language. is distinguish two different or perspectives on language because units can explore connections. The approach contrasted with studying three levels of analysis namely, phonology, morphology, syntax, as a sub-discipline linguistics. In other words, subject matter for mainly related linguistic forms, phonemes (the stud...
