The theoretical and methodological concept of the investigation is based on following provisions: lexical items for denomination human emotions emotional states are anthropocentrically marked, they require consideration basic approaches to definition classification in psychology, corresponding linguistics; semantic item structure a certain period formed line with general processes laws linguist...

The recent past has witnessed a predominance of robust empirical methods in natural language structure prediction, but mostly through the analysis of syntax. Wide-coverage analysis of the underlying meaning or semantics of natural language utterances still remains a major obstacle for language understanding. A primary bottleneck lies in the scarcity of high-quality and large amounts of annotate...

In this paper, we describe lexical needs for spoken and written French surface processing, like automatic text correction, speech recognition and synthesis. We present statistical observations made on a vocabulary compiled from real texts like articles. These texts have been used for building a recorded speech database called BREF. Machine Communication), this database is intended for dictation...

UNLABELLED One remarkable characteristic of speech comprehension in typically developing (TD) children and adults is the speed with which the listener can integrate information across multiple lexical items to anticipate upcoming referents. Although children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) show lexical deficits (Sheng & McGregor, 2010) and slower speed of processing (Leonard et al., 200...

Words have their own conceptual representations, semantic properties, and physical forms. These lexical characteristics not only set words apart as a distinct item in the lexical repertoire but also provide valuable insight into the processes and mechanisms of language production. Over the past decades there has been a large body of research examining how word meaning, form, and usage directly ...

Corpus Pattern Analysis (CPA) [1], coined and implemented by Hanks as the Pattern Dictionary of English Verbs (PDEV) [2], appears to be the only deliberate and consistent implementation of Sinclair’s concept of Lexical Item [3]. In his theoretical inquiries [4] Hanks hypothesizes that the pattern repository produced by CPA can also support the word sense disambiguation task. Although more than ...

Serial-order short-term memory (STM), as opposed to item STM, has been shown to be very consistently associated with lexical learning abilities in cross-sectional study designs. This study investigated longitudinal predictions between serial-order STM and vocabulary development. Tasks maximizing the temporary retention of either serial-order or item information were administered to kindergarten...

Word selection allows us to choose words during language production. This is often viewed as a competitive process wherein a lexical representation is retrieved among semantically-related alternatives. The left prefrontal cortex (LPFC) is thought to help overcome competition for word selection through top-down control. However, whether the LPFC is always necessary for word selection remains unc...

We introduce a multistate framework for Fragment Molecular Orbital (FMO) quantum mechanical calculations and implement it in the context of protonated water clusters. The purpose of the framework is to address issues of nonuniqueness and dynamic fragmentation in FMO as well as other related fragment methods. We demonstrate that our new approach, Fragment Molecular Orbital Multistate Reactive Mo...
