The present PET study investigates the role of prosodic clues (pitch, pause) in processing the oral speech syntactic structure. The stimuli used were syntactically simple sentences and sentences with different syntagmatic segmentation. They were presented binaurally to twelve right-handed, musically untrained native Russian speakers. One condition reflected automatic perceptual processing, the ...

We propose an alternative method for Word Sense Disambiguation, based on the interaction between syntagmatic and paradigmatic information. The unit of the disambiguation process is taken to be an ambiguous occurrence integrated into a syntagmatic pattern. The strategy needs not a semantically annotated corpus, it supposes only a morphological analysis and chunking, does not make use of statisti...

The Associative Read-Out Model (AROM) suggests that associations between words can be defined by the log likelihood that they occur together more often in sentences than predicted by their single-word frequency. Moreover, semantic relations can be defined by associative spreading across many common associates. Here, we addressed developmental effects of associative and semantic priming. Thus, w...

— I study the effect of a recent expansion in India’s National Old Age Pension Scheme on elderly well-being. Estimates suggest that public pension has a modestly negative effect on the employment of elderly/near elderly men with a primary or lower education but no effect on the employment of similar women. Pension raised family expenditures, lowering poverty, and the effect was smaller on famil...

Crystal River/Kings Bay is a spring-fed estuarine system located on the west coast of the Florida peninsula. During 2008-2009, a field investigation was conducted to measure submarine groundwater discharges (SGDs) from numerous spring vents in Kings Bay. Based on directly measured real-time SGD data, an empirical relationship that links SGD with tides in Kings Bay and the groundwater level meas...

The paper reviews the kinds of representation of syntagmatic grammatical relations typically empl~'ed in grammar models used in computational linguistics. Exemplars of dependencyonly, constituency-only and hybrid constituencydependency approaches will be considered. In a move away fi'om the much discussed question 'Constituency or dependency?', the purpose of the paper is to ask more radically:...

Conventional dictionaries, albeit they often comprise an impressive amount o f para­ digmatic information on various aspects o f linguistic description, usually pay only little attention to the representation o f syntagmatic information. Admittedly, apart hrom spelling conventions and rules o f inflectional agreement, the co-occurrence o f indivi­ dual lexical items will not normally change the...
