Subject-verb agreement mismatches have been reported in the L2 and heritage literature, usually involving infinitives, analyzed as default morphological forms for fully specified T-heads. This article explores mechanisms behind these mismatches, testing two hypotheses: form surface-similarity hypotheses. It compares non-finite finite S-V with subjects different persons, whether similarity other...

The tonal inflection of verbs the Amuzgo language San Pedro Amuzgos (Oto-Manguean, Mexico) displays a great degree allomorphy. When faced with allomorphy this sort, inflectional class model often reveals an internal logic in system, but case organizing into classes results instead system which is seemingly chaotic, and somewhat impractical for descriptive purposes. In order to make sense appare...

In this paper, we describe a novel automatic cluster analysis method for symbolic music. The method contains both a surface level and a paradigmatic level analysing block and works in two phases. In the first phase, each music document of a collection is analysed separately: They are first divided into phrases that are consequently fed on a harmonic analyser. The paradigmatic structure of a giv...

This paper implements a simple vector space model relying on lexico-syntactic patterns to distinguish between the paradigmatic relations synonymy, antonymy and hypernymy. Our study is performed across word classes, and models the lexical relations between German nouns, verbs and adjectives. Applying nearest-centroid classification to the relation vectors, we achieve a precision of 59.80%, which...

We propose a series of methods to represent the evolution of a field of science at different levels: namely micro, meso and macro levels. We use a previously introduced asymmetric measure of paradigmatic proximity between terms that enable us to extract structure from a large publications database. We apply our set of methods on a case study from the Complex Systems Community through the mappin...

The Associative Read-Out Model (AROM) suggests that associations between words can be defined by the log likelihood that they occur together more often in sentences than predicted by their single-word frequency. Moreover, semantic relations can be defined by associative spreading across many common associates. Here, we addressed developmental effects of associative and semantic priming. Thus, w...
