Previous research has shown that the Danish-Swedish mutual intelligibility is asymmetric at the text level. Danes perform better in tests developed to investigate intelligibility of Swedish at the global level of whole texts than Swedes participating in Danish tests. This asymmetry has usually been attributed to non-linguistic factors such as a more positive attitude towards Swedes and more exp...

A tool is described which helps in the creation, extension and updating of lexical knowledge bases (LKBs). Two levels of representation are distinguished: a static storage level and a dynamic knowledge level. The latter is an object-oriented environment containing linguistic and lexicographic knowledge. At the knowledge level, constructors and filters can be defined. Constructors are objects wh...

Phrase-level sentiment intensity prediction is difficult due to the inclusion of linguistic modifiers (e.g., negators, degree adverbs, and modals) potentially resulting in an shift or polarity reversal for modified words. This study develops a graph-based Chinese parser based on deep biaffine attention model obtain dependency structures relations. These obtained features are then used our propo...

objectives: language development is often very slower in hearing impaired children compared with their normal peers. hearing impairment during childhood affects all aspects of speech production and language acquisition. it seems that hearing impaired people suffer from language and speech impairments such as production of complex linguistic structures. the purpose of this study is to determine ...

In this paper some algebraic structures for linguistic fuzzy models are defined for the first time. By definition linguistic fuzzy norm, stability of these systems can be considered. Two methods (normed-based & graphical-based) for stability analysis of linguist fuzzy systems will be presented. At the follow a new simple method for linguistic fuzzy numbers calculations is defined. At the end tw...

The proliferation of country groupings indicates the need to assess the effectiveness of the current system for development cooperation and to explore better ways to manage the international system, as heterogeneity among developing countries increases. Great caution should be exercised in devising new country categories. Donors can use sound criteria for aid allocation without creating new gro...

We introduce SAPIENS, a platform for extracting quotations from news wires, associated with their author and context. The originality of SAPIENS is that it relies on a deep linguistic processing chain, which allows for extracting quotations with a wide coverage and an extended definition, including quotations which are only partially quotes-delimited verbatim transcripts. We describe the archit...
