Natural language inference (NLI) is known as one of the central tasks in natural processing (NLP) which encapsulates many fundamental aspects understanding. With considerable achievements data-hungry deep learning methods NLP tasks, a great amount effort has been devoted to develop more diverse datasets for different languages. In this paper, we present new dataset NLI task Persian language, al...

This paper addresses a question concerning phonological operations involved standard Farsi vowel Compensatory Lengthening (CL) due to glottal consonant deletion in syllabic coda. Specifically, I question two current views related to CL process. One view suggests that glottal allophonic weakening is compensated by vowel lengthening. Another view suggests that glottal consonant is deleted, but va...

Drawing from a common lexicon of semantic units, humans fashion narratives whose meaning transcends that of their individual utterances. However, while brain regions that represent lower-level semantic units, such as words and sentences, have been identified, questions remain about the neural representation of narrative comprehension, which involves inferring cumulative meaning. To address thes...

speakers use vocabulary for spatial verticality and size to describe pitch. A high–low contrast is common to many languages, but others show contrasts like thick–thin and big–small. We consider uses of thick for low pitch and thin for high pitch in three languages: Farsi, turkish, and Zapotec. We ask how metaphors for pitch structure the sound space. In a language like English, high applies to ...

BACKGROUND Webometrics refers to the quantitative study of science production, application, structure and technology in the cyber environment. Impact analysis, website collaboration, and recognition of core websites are regarded as the most practical advantages of webometrics. Furthermore, webometrics is applied in ranking studies for universities and academic institutes. This serves as an inte...

We describe evaluation experiments conducted by submitting retrieval runs for the monolingual German, French, English and Persian (Farsi) information retrieval tasks of the Ad-Hoc Track of the Cross-Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF) 2008. In the ad hoc retrieval tasks, the system was given 50 natural language queries, and the goal was to find all of the relevant records or documents (with high p...

This paper documents a dimension of crosslinguistic variation among Universal Free Choice Items. In English, the distribution and interpretation any DPs containing numeral ("numeral any") differs from that with no (Dayal 2005, 2013; Chierchia 2013). contrast, Farsi counterparts mirror each other. Two competing analyses contrast between are assessed against data – Wide Scope Constraint Analysis ...
