The human turn-taking system regulates the smooth and precise exchange of speaking turns during face-to-face interaction. Recent studies investigated the processing of ongoing turns during conversation by measuring the eye movements of noninvolved observers. The findings suggest that humans shift their gaze in anticipation to the next speaker before the start of the next turn. Moreover, there i...

In this paper we present the principles of lexico-semantic annotation of Składnica Treebank using Polish WordNet lexical units. We describe different means of annotation, depending on the structure of a sentence in Składnica on the one hand and the availability of adequate lexical unit in PLWN on the other. Apart from “standard” annotation involving lexical units with the same lemma as the toke...

This paper describes a novel approach to inducing lexico-structural transfer rules from parsed bi-texts using syntactic pattern matching, statistical cooccurrence and error-driven filtering. We present initial evaluation results and discuss future directions.

This paper describes our contribution to the SemEval-2015 task 17 on “Taxonomy Extraction Evaluation”. We propose a hypernym detection system combining three modules: a lexico-syntactic pattern matcher, a morphosyntactic analyzer and a module retrieving hypernym relations from structured lexical resources. Our system ranked first in the competition when considering the gold standard and manual ...

We present in this paper a method to automatically acquire a syntactic lexicon of subcategorization frames for French verbs directly from large corpora. The method is evaluated against existing lexical resources: we show that our system is capable of producing new frames that were not previously registered. Lastly, we show that it is possible to induce lexico-semantic classes « à la Levin » (19...

We present a set of new measures designed to reveal latent information of language use in children at the lexico-syntactic level. Our analysis of spontaneous narratives from children identified with language impairment and children developing typically shows that these metrics are a promising approach that could aid in the task of language assessment.

The term "phraseology" is derived from the Greek words phrasis-speech and logos-teaching. Phraseological units cover a lot of drawbacks English language it one-third part colloquial speech. aim study to consider phraseological as means communication explore their theoretical practical meanings in formation students' oral-speech skills. was carried Gagauzia Moldova, at secondary school Yessentuk...

Background and Objective: Modern neuroimaging has demonstrated that cognitive functions are based in networks of interconnected modules. The purpose of this paper was to analyze the connectivity of Brodmann's area (BA) 22 in lexico-semantic tasks. Methods: A connectivity fMRI co-activation study was performed by pooling data of lexico-semantic tasks in which BA22 (core of Wernicke's area) was r...

Research into the computational properties of the human metaphor faculty can be categorized according to two different perspectives: the lexico-semantic approach, most favoured by linguists, which sees metaphor as a predominantly linguistic phenomenon and thus attempts to model it as such; and the conceptual approach, which sees metaphor as a deep-seated cognitive agency that systematically org...
