The Reduplications are made by repeating part of the base. The repeated part does not make sense and will never be used alone and is just popular in spoken language. In recent times, they have been used in some texts of poetry and prose, in particular, in stories written in vernacular. This research, with a historical approach, and with an analytical-explanatory method, examines the information...

Algorithms for quantum computing are an important cornerstone in the field of quantum technologies. However the language we use to describe them can be clunky and awkward expositions of quantum protocols are often interspersed with explanatory sentences. This inhibits the understanding of such protocols and also the designing of new protocols. In this case study report I discuss a new approach ...

The present study focuses on the discrepancy between receptive and expressive language competence among bilingual children and tests possible explanatory factors of this gap. The sample consisted of 406 bilingual children with German as their second language (L2) and 46 different first languages. Receptive and expressive German language competence (L2) were measured with a standardized language...

Mental representation is a central concept in cognitive science. It is the causal story involving “symbolic structures” that form the explanatory schema of classical cognitive science. Objects that populate the particular ontology of a scientific theory must have an instrumental role in explaining the processes in question. As such, it is requisite that the explanatory vehicles within a theory ...

We aim to systematically investigate the effects of explanatory content and multi-turn dialogues on learning during tutoring by implementing alternative tutoring regimens in an intelligent tutoring system for a letter sequence extrapolation task. It is plausible that the power of tutoring resides, in part, in the fact that a tutor can extend right/wrong discourse moves like "OK" and "are you su...

This review focuses on the errors that children with developmental language impairments make on three types of word production tasks: lexical retrieval, the elicitation of derivationally complex forms and the repetition of non-sense forms. The studies discussed in this review come principally from children with specific language impairment, and from children who are English-speakers or deaf use...

Various proposals have suggested that an adequate explanatory theory should reduce the number or the cardinality of the set of logically independent claims that need be accepted in order to entail a body of data. A (and perhaps the only) well-formed proposal of this kind is William Kneale’s: an explanatory theory should be finitely axiomatizable but it’s set of logical consequences in the data ...

The performance of machine translation systems varies greatly depending on the source and target languages involved. Determining the contribution of different characteristics of language pairs on system performance is key to knowing what aspects of machine translation to improve and which are irrelevant. This paper investigates the effect of different explanatory variables on the performance of...

What roles do syntax and semantics have in the grammar of a language? What are the consequences of these roles for syntactic structure, and why does it matter? We sketch the Simpler Syntax Hypothesis, which holds that much of the explanatory role attributed to syntax in contemporary linguistics is properly the responsibility of semantics. This rebalancing permits broader coverage of empirical l...

Probabilistic polysemantic distribution is peculiar to a word with a concrete frequency in the frequency list. Let's introduce dependence "usage polysemanticism" proceeding from the following theoretical assumptions: 1. The lexicon of a concrete language (sublanguage) is reflected in the appropriate explanatory dictionary. A certain constitutive text corpus lays in the basis of the language. 2....
