Eye movements were tracked of students, with and without touch-typing skills, while they translated three short texts of different levels of complexity under three different time constraints. The aim was to chart the distribution of visual attention between source and target texts, and to study how visual attention was affected by text complexity and time pressure. Participants with touch-typin...

black humor plays a crucial role in fulfilling langston hughes's anti-racist purposes as an integral notionin his poetry. accordingly, translation(s) of his poetry are to benefit from the same indexes onthe basis of equivalent effect principle. on this account, 33 black-humor-rich poems of hughes, translatedby ahmad shamloo, yaghma golruee and hassan fayyad, were selected to be analyzed contras...

Clitics are challenging for many theories of grammar because they straddle syntax and morphology. In most theories, cliticization is considered a phrasal phenomenon: clitics are affix-like expressions that attach to whole phrases. Constituency-based grammars in particular struggle with the exact constituent structure of such expressions. This paper proposes a solution based on catena-based depe...

BACKGROUND A growing body of evidence demonstrates that text messaging-based programs (short message service [SMS]) on mobile phones can help people modify health behaviors. Most of these programs have consisted of automated and sometimes interactive text messages that guide a person through the process of behavior change. OBJECTIVE This paper provides guidance on how to develop text messagin...

There are more and more bug reports in software. Software companies and developers invest a large number of resources into the dramatic accumulation of reports. We introduce Bayes classifier into bug reports compression, which is the first effort in the literature. For this purpose, the vector space model as well as some conventional text mining values, such as tf-idf and chi-squared test, are ...

OBJECTIVE This paper presents the evaluation of two MeSH indexing systems for French and English on a parallel corpus. MATERIAL AND METHODS We describe two automatic MeSH in-dexing systems - MTI for English, and MAIF for French. The French version of the evaluation resources has been manually indexed with MeSH keyword/qualifier pairs. This professional indexing is used as our gold standard in...

Mark Twain made use of repetition and parallelism as two comedic literary devices to bring comic effect to the readers. Linguistic devices of humor, repetition and parallelism seemed to create many difficulties in the translation of literary texts. The present study applied Delabatista‟s strategies for translating wordplays such as repetition and parallelism in the translation of humorous texts...

This study proposes an innovative measure for evaluating the performance of text clustering. In using K-means algorithm and Kohonen Networks for text clustering, the number clusters is fixed initially by configuring it as their parameter, while in using single pass algorithm for text clustering, the number of clusters is not predictable. Using labeled documents, the result of text clustering us...

aesthetic equivalence is produced when both the source and target texts enjoy the same degree of interpretability with semantic explicitness. this requires both texts to have the same number of indeterminacies. roman ingarden, the polish phenomenologist and aesthetician, was the first one to consider the concept of indeterminacy as a characteristic of literary works. then iser and jauss, two ae...
