Modern programming languages use regular expressions to define valid tokens. Traditional lexical analyzers based on minimum deterministic finite automata for regular expressions cannot handle the look-ahead problem. The scanner writer needs to explicitly identify the look-ahead states and code the buffering and re-scanning operations by hand. We identify the class of finite look-ahead finite au...

The present work is a pilot study of English lexical collocations in written productions by advanced Italian students of English. The aim is to describe errors made by learners in the production of word combinations. First a working definition of lexical collocation will be given in order to identify those word combinations that will be taken into consideration. Then, after introducing the data...

There are many mechanisms for concurrency control in high-level programming languages. In Java, the original mechanism for concurrency control, based on synchronized blocks, is lexically scoped. For more flexible control, Java 5 introduced non-lexical operators, supporting lock primitives on re-entrant locks. These operators may lead to run-time errors and unwanted behavior; e.g., taking a lock...

Abstract We studied the compositional written skills and spelling competence of individuals with a severe hearing impairment, examining qualitative quantitative characteristics their texts, psycholinguistic variables modulating productions, writing errors following fine-grained analysis. Sixteen deaf young adults, educated in bilingual settings, were examined compared to group control subjects ...

This study was conducted to find out the types of lexical errors that high and low proficiency learners produced in their writing, differences similarities from production two groups. To answer research questions, writers used theory by James (2013) about error classification. a qualitative study. The sources data this were 32 writing drafts. divided students into groups: eight level level. fin...

This study explored the effects of a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) intervention on reading, attention, and psychological well-being among people with developmental dyslexia and/or attention deficits. Various types of dyslexia exist, characterized by different error types. We examined a question that has not been tested so far: which types of errors (and dyslexias) are affected by MB...

This research demonstrates 3 new age-linked asymmetries between identifying versus retrieving phonological information. Young and older adults read aloud familiar isolated words (e.g., mind) and novel pseudowords (e.g., mond) in a production task and identified lexical status for identical stimuli in a comprehension task. Young adults made fewer errors than older adults in production but not co...
