There have traditionally been two approaches to modelling environments, one by use of nite products in Cartesian closed categories , the other by use of the base categories of indexed categories with structure. Recently, there have been more general deenitions along both of these lines: the rst generalising from Cartesian to symmetric premonoidal categories, the second generalising from indexed...

In this paper, we propose a CLIR method which employs a Web directory provided in multiple language versions (such as Yahoo!). In the proposed method, feature terms are first extracted from Web documents for each category in the source and the target languages. In advance, category matching is conducted in order to category pairs between categories across languages. Using these category pairs, ...

PURPOSE Assessment tools are needed to accurately index performance in bilingual populations. This study examines the verbal fluency task to further establish the relative sensitivities of letter and category fluency in assessing bilingual language skills in Spanish-English bilinguals. METHOD English monolinguals and Spanish-English bilinguals had 1 minute to name words belonging to a categor...

Half responded in the same language in both sessions (Chinese or English) and half responded in one language in one session and the other language in the other session. There was substantial overlap in the exemplars listed across the sessions, but those responding in different langu...
