The relationship between nonword repetition ability and vocabulary size and vocabulary learning has been a topic of intense research interest and investigation over the last two decades, following the demonstration that nonword repetition accuracy is predictive of vocabulary size (Gathercole & Baddeley, 1989). However, the nature of this relationship is not well understood. One prominent accoun...

Amniotic fluid, obtained from 87 pregnant women for routine amniocentesis, was analysed for foetal testosterone (FT) level. Their infants (40 girls and 47 boys) were followed up 18 and 24 months after birth and their vocabulary size was assessed. Girls were found to have a significantly larger vocabulary than boys at both ages. This replicates previous findings of a female advantage in language...

We use the rank{frequency analysis for the estimation of Kernel Vocabulary size within speci c corpora of Ukrainian. The extrapolation of high-rank behaviour is utilized for estimation of the total vocabulary size.

This paper describes a preliminary study for producing and distributing a large-scale database of embeddings from the Portuguese Twitter stream. We start by experimenting with a relatively small sample and focusing on three challenges: volume of training data, vocabulary size and intrinsic evaluation metrics. Using a single GPU, we were able to scale up vocabulary size from 2048 words embedded ...

This paper describes improvements to the existing LIMSI German broadcast news transcription system, especially its extension from a 65k vocabulary to 300k words. Automatic speech recognition for German is more problematic than for a language such as English in that the inflectional morphology of German and its highly generative process of compounding lead to many more out of vocabulary words fo...
