Abstract This study examined the effect of two types of feedback, post-text as a written feedback and recast as an oral one on written grammatical accuracy of Iranian intermediate EFL learners. To this end, 45 intermediate students who were studying at Ideal Language Institute in Sari were selected based on their performance on the Nelson proficiency test, and then divided into three groups (tw...

POS Taggers typically fail to correctly tag grammatical neologisms: for a known word, most taggers will only take known tags into account, and hence discard the possibility that that word is used in a novel or deviant grammatical category in a new text. Grammatical neologisms are relatively rare, and therefore do not pose a significant problem for the overall performance of a tagger. But for st...

We describe extensions to a scheme for evaluating parse selection accuracy based on named grammatical relations between lemmatised lexical heads. The scheme is intended to directly reflect the task of recovering grammatical and logical relations, rather than more arbitrary details of tree topology. There is a manually annotated test suite of 500 sentences which has been used by several groups t...

Lexical-Functional Grammar (Kaplan and Bresnan, 1982) f-structures are bilexical labelled dependency representations. We show that the Naive Bayes classifier is able to guess missing grammatical function labels (i.e. bilexical dependency labels) with reasonably high accuracy (82–91%). In the experiments we use f-structure parser output for English and German Europarl data, automatically “broken...

Sentence processing in American Sign Language (ASL) was investigated as a function of age of first language acquisition with a timed grammatical judgement task. Participants were 30 adults who were born deaf and first exposed to an fully perceptible language between the ages of birth and 13 years. Stimuli were grammatical and ungrammatical examples of 6 ASL syntactic structures : simple, negati...
