The comparative study explores the phenomenon of lexical cross-linguistic influence on high school students' writing performance within two distinct regions Morocco: Rabat-Sale and Souss-Massa. Using James Taxonomy as a framework, written narratives produced by 200 students from both were analyzed focusing their choices occurrence errors. Distinct patterns errors, including Calque, Prefix, Over...

Comparable corpus is the most important resource in several NLP tasks. However, it is very expensive to collect manually. Lexical borrowing happened in almost all languages. We can use the loanwords to detect useful bilingual knowledge and expand the size of donor-recipient / recipient-donor comparable corpora. In this paper, we propose a recurrent neural network (RNN) based framework to identi...

A language lexicon can be divided into four main strata, depending on origin of words: core vocabulary words, fullyand partiallyassimilated foreign words, and unassimilated foreign words (or transliterations). This paper focuses on translation of fullyand partially-assimilated foreign words, called “borrowed words”. Borrowed words (or loanwords) are content words found in nearly all languages, ...

Gray & Atkinson’s (2003) application of quantitative phylogenetic methods to Dyen, Kruskal & Black’s (1992) IndoEuropean database produced controversial divergence time estimates. Here we test the robustness of these results using an alternative data set of ancient Indo-European languages. We employ two very different stochastic models of lexical evolution – Gray & Atkinson’s (2003) finite-site...

1. Introduction A recurring theme in theoretical discussions of language contact is the question of borrowability—specifically, whether there are any substantive constraints governing the kinds of lexicon and structure that can be borrowed. Nowadays historical linguists are less likely to propose absolute constraints than they used to be, because everyone knows at least a few examples of 'odd' ...

The aim of this work is to present the lexical changes in Serbian language caused by COVID-19 pandemic. paper analyses new words that appeared which very quickly expanded domain their use from specific medical terminology and became part everyday spoken language, including motivated them. Types neologisms emergence are presented (borrowing English changing or developing meanings existing words,...

In this paper we present LeXFlow, a web application framework where lexicons already expressed in standardised format semiautomatically interact by reciprocally enriching themselves. LeXFlow is intended for, on the one hand, paving the way to the development of dynamic multi-source lexicons; and on the other, for fostering the adoption of standards. Borrowing from techniques used in the domain ...

Lexical variation and change is prevalent in the short history of New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) current context globalized flows communication we observe growing use ASL-concordant variants that land via other signed languages, online deaf media, international interaction. Results from a variant-pair preference task show no significant effect demographic characteristics on variant use, sugge...

Bilingualism is viewed as alternative use of two languages in day-to-day context. Earlier views bilingualism assumed the bilinguals to have equal proficiency L1 well L2, while recent suggests that a bilingual can competence any degree his/her second language. The factor also called proficiency. In individuals who limited proficiency, domain language believed exert interference on weaker Interfe...
