Native speakers of a lexical accent system (Russians) were tested on their second language (L2) acquisition of a phonological stress system (Polish). In Russian, a sizeable part of the lexicon is underlyingly marked for accents and claims on the position of default stress vary. This makes it interesting to investigate which L1 characteristics (distribution of lexical accents vs. phonological de...

Recently, two operable WSDL retrieval approaches, bipartite-graph matching and KbSM, were developed for Web service discovery. But their models and similarity metrics of WSDL ignore some term or semantic feature, and involve formal method problem of representation or difficulty of parameter verification. SLVM approaches depend on statistical term measures to implement XML document representatio...

We report the performance of two patients with lexico-semantic deficits following left MCA CVA. Both patients produce similar numbers of semantic paraphasias in naming tasks, but presented one crucial difference: grapheme-to-phoneme and phoneme-to-grapheme conversion procedures were available only to one of them. We investigated the impact of this availability on the process of lexical selectio...

Children must learn the structural biases of locative verbs in order to avoid making overgeneralisation errors (e.g., (∗)I filled water into the glass). It is thought that they use linguistic and situational information to learn verb classes that encode structural biases. In addition to situational cues, we examined whether children and adults could use the lexical distribution of nouns in the ...

this study was intended first to categorize the l2 learners in terms of their learning style preferences and second to investigate if their learning preferences are related to lexical inferencing. moreover, strategies used for lexical inferencing and text related issues of text density and parts of speech were studied to determine their moderating effects and the best predictors of lexical infe...

The present study investigated the role of tonal context (extrinsic information) in the perception of Cantonese lexical tones. Target tones at three separate positions (initial, medial and final position) were recorded by two speakers (one male and one female). These sentences were edited and presented in three conditions: original carrier (target within the original context), isolation (target...

This investigation is the second in a series to examine a potential source of reduced intelligibility in dysarthric speech, namely the mismatch between listeners' perceptual strategies and the acoustic information available in the dysarthric speech signal. Lexical boundary error (LBE) analysis was conducted on listener transcripts from phrases produced by speakers with hypokinetic dysarthria, a...

Medical records have been evolving from the traditional paper-based records to digital ones, from the method of dictating reports and transcription to voice recognition systems. The transition to digital operations will not be complete until we have the ability to combine voice recognition with automated indexing of texts. This paper introduces the methods we used to evaluate existing voice rec...

The Plaut, McClelland, Seidenberg and Patterson (1996) connectionist model of reading was evaluated at two points early in its training against reading data collected from British children on two occasions during their first year of literacy instruction. First, the network’s non-word reading was poor relative to word reading when compared with the children. Second, the network made more non-lex...

This research aims to find the error analysis that can be found in The Way, Way Back (2013) movie. source data was taken from English Indonesian subtitles. Based on Carl James theory (2008) there are substance error, text grammar and lexical error. There also two causes of errors: interlingual intralingual. used a descriptive qualitative method. Error occurs because lack vocabulary, words, stru...
