This paper investigates the grammatical principles governing the inter­ pretation of vague predicates, focusing on the context dependence of the ‘standard of comparison’ with respect to which gradable predicates are judged to be true. I argue that the range of variability in interpretation of the standard is larger than has generally been assumed, and that there are distinct types of standards ...

A number of recent studies have provided contradictory evidence on the question of whether grammatical class plays a role in the neural representation of lexical knowledge. Most of the previous studies comparing the processing of nouns and verbs, however, confounded word meaning and grammatical class by comparing verbs referring to actions with nouns referring to objects. Here, we recorded elec...

The aim of this study was to compare oral fluency strategies of Spanish-English bilinguals in Spanish and English with Spanish and English monolinguals when given either phonemic (alphabetical) or semantic categorical cues. The use of grammatical words (words that play a grammatical function relating words within a sentence) or content words (words that have a meaning such as nouns, verbs, and ...

We propose to investigate the use of grammatical information to build improved statistical language models. Until recently, language models were primarily innuenced by local lexical constraints. Today, language models often utilize longer range lexical information to aid in their predictions. All of these language models ignore grammatical considerations other than those induced by the statisti...

There has been an increased interest in data generation approaches to grammatical error correction (GEC) using pseudo data. However, these suffer from several issues that make them inconvenient for real-world deployment including a demand large amounts of training On the other hand, some errors based on rules may not necessarily require amount if GEC models can realize generalization. This stud...
