An examination of the Lushootseed phonological phrase reveals ahighly regular pattern of phrase-formation based on the status of lexicalelements as clitics or phonological words. Phrase-structure is reminis-cent of syllable-structure in that phrases consist of a nucleus (a singlephonological word) and an onset (a clitic); phrasal codas are ruled out,clitics following a word ...

accepted for Between Stress and Tone Conference in Leiden, June 2005 Authors: Christine Mooshammer, Jonathan Harrington Linguistic prominence and loudness: a systematic comparison between lexical word stress, sentence accent and vocal effort In Germanic languages, linguistic prominence is associated with an increase in duration, fundamental frequency, articulatory precision and intensity. Diffe...

During the last two decades, bilingual research has adopted the masked translation priming paradigm as a tool to investigate the architecture of the bilingual language system. Although there is now a consensus about the existence of forward translation priming (from native language primes [L1] to second language [L2] translation equivalent targets), the backward translation priming effect (from...

The WWW is two orders of magnitude larger than the largest corpora. Although noisy, web textpresents language as it is used, and statistics derived from the Web can have practical uses in many NLPapplications. For this reason, the WWW should be seen and studied as any other computationally availablelinguistic resource. In this article, we illustrate this by showing that an Example−B...

Compounds differ in the degree to which they are semantically compositional (compare, e.g., "carwash","handbag", "beefcake" and "humbug"). Since even relatively transparent compounds such as "carwash"may leave the uninitiated reader with uncertainty about the intended meaning (soap for washing cars? aplace where you can get your car washed?), an efficient way of retrieving the meani...

In a combinatorial exchange a set of indivisible products is traded between buyers and sellers whichare interested in bundles (multi-sets of products). Although combinatorial exchanges are a natural andimportant generalization of combinatorial auctions, their approximability has not been studied. We in-vestigate the computational approximability of several social goals and show ...
