0 Introduction Much linguistic research has focused on interlanguage (IL) deletion and epenthesis, most often within a typological framework (e.g. Eckman 1977, 1986, 1991, Eckman & Iverson 1993, Carlisle 1998). While typological analyses are generally descriptively and predictively adequate, they arguably have three important weaknesses. First, typological accounts have little to say about the ...

We train a language-universal dependency parser on a multilingual collection of treebanks. The parsing model uses multilingual word embeddings alongside learned and specified typological information, enabling generalization based on linguistic universals and based on typological similarities. We evaluate our parser’s performance on languages in the training set as well as on the unsupervised sc...

In the field of urban morphology, different scholars have developed approaches. The pioneering approaches are procedural-typological approach G. Caniggia and G.L. Maffei historico-evolutionary M.R.G. Conzen, which focus this paper. However, it is also worth mentioning J.W.R. Whitehand (1981), who integrated analysis changes to built fabric with study individuals organizations involved in variou...

The architecture of houses, design and management are a collection of behaviors that are realized in space. The recognition of traditional houses requires having space in possession; that is to say, seeing the building and seeking the key to appreciating it. On the one hand, it refers to the different dimensions and features of the building and on the other, it represents the main objectives of...

This paper will have a holistic view at the field of corpus-based linguistic typology and present an overview of current advances at Leipzig University. Our goal is to use automatically created text data for a large variety of languages for quantitative typological investigations. In our approaches we utilize text corpora created for several hundred languages for crosslanguage quantitative stud...

This paper is part of an ongoing research program to understand the cognitive and functional bases for the origins and evolution of spatial language. Following a cognitive-functional approach, we first investigate the cross-linguistic variety in spatial language, with special attention for spatial perspective. Based on this language-typological data, we hypothesize which cognitive mechanisms ar...

Utilizing corpora to build morphological analyzers for the purposes of computational application has been addressed in many different ways. Methods for automated morphological analysis generally focus on segmentation from raw text, and ignore the actual learning of what morpheme features are present. Other methods are time-consuming and require a great deal of prior knowledge of the language su...

This chapter begins by reviewing the prevalence of recreational drug use and related adverse health outcomes among young people in European countries. It then employs a typological approach to review and discuss the current range of responses that aim to reduce the harms associated with young people’s recreational drug use in Europe. These responses include: individually focused and group-based...

humans are equipped with some universal or language-specific abilities to recognize emotions. however, because of the different emotional contents in diverse languages and the relevant cultural differences, humans with different cultural backgrounds own different metapragmatical abilities to recognize and express emotions. a hypothesis concerning emotional effects about intonation and particle ...
