I present a computational-level model of semantic interference effects in online word production within rate–distortion framework. consider bounded-rational agent trying to produce words. The agent's action policy is determined by maximizing accuracy subject computational constraints. These constraints are formalized using mutual information. show that similarity-based among words falls out nat...

this paper attempts to introduce the dimensions of bi/multi-lingualism as a cognitive linguis-tic phenomenon, which can be thought over in sociological, biolinguistic, cultural and psy-cholinguistic perspective. the main research question being asked as how bi/multilingualism is a cognitive phenomenon and what are the bilinguality problems and how do they repre-sents in linguistics? linguist...

We report an experiment exploring the extent to which the process of lexical selection in speech production is sensitive to word frequency. Participants were asked to name pictures in two sets of lists: semantic homogeneous (all pictures from the same semantic category) and semantic heterogeneous sets (pictures from various semantic categories). Naming latencies were slower for the former type ...

In this study, we use an auditory picture-word interference task to examine an anomic individual, NP. NP produced semantic errors in picture naming, but his comprehension was relatively well preserved. In the task, pictures to be named were accompanied by semantically, phonologically or unrelated distractors, presented at onsets ranging from -200ms (before target) to +400ms (after target). Nami...

Non–interference is a semantic program property that assigns confidentiality levels to data objects and prevents illicit information flows from occurring from high to low security levels. In this paper, we present a novel security model for global non–interference which approximates non–interference as a safety property. We also propose a certification technique for global non-interference of c...
