The paper compares acoustic models which predict the position of stress in bisyllabic words in Greek varieties. It is shown that while in Thessalian Greek ratios of peak amplitude and F1 are the best predictors of stress, in Athenian and Cypriot Greek these are ratios of durations and f0. Furthermore in Cypriot Greek morphological category of the token affects the acoustic prominence of the str...

We propose a data-driven method for automatically analyzing the morphology of ancient Greek. This method improves on existing ancient Greek analyzers in two ways. First, through the use of a nearestneighbor machine learning framework, the analyzer requires no hand-crafted rules. Second, it is able to predict novel roots, and to rerank its predictions by exploiting a large, unlabelled corpus of ...

One controversial question in the field of eye movements and reading is whether there is evidence of parafoveal-on-foveal effects. This is an important issue because some models of eye movements in reading make quite different predictions in this respect (e.g., E-Z Reader vs. SWIFT models). The aim of the current study was to investigate if parafoveal-on-foveal effects occur when reading Thai, ...
