In some languages, gender is a grammatical property of the noun. Grammatical gender identification enhances machine translation of such languages. This paper reports a three staged approach for grammatical gender identification that makes use of word and morphological features only. A Morphological Analyzer is used to extract the morphological features. In stage one, association rule mining is ...

This study investigated the impact of oral pushed output on the learning and retention of English perfect tenses. During the study, a pre-test was administered to 22 freshmen majoring in English translation. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups. Then, for six sessions both groups received explicit instructions on English perfect tenses. Every session, the experimental group rec...

This study investigated the extent to which individual differences in working memory (WM) mediate effects of captions with or without textual enhancement on attentional allocation and L2 grammatical development, whether development is influenced by WM absence captions. We employed a pretest-posttest-delayed posttest design, 72 Korean learners English randomly assigned three groups. The groups d...

In this paper I propose a general approach to the study of constraints on cooccurrence of grammatical categories and present one case study of a functionally infelicitous combination from the domain of TAM categories, the present perfective. It is argued that constraints on co-occurrence of particular categories can be accounted for in terms of local markedness and markedness hierarchies. This ...

Deep linguistic grammars are able to provide rich and highly complex grammatical representations of sentences, capturing, for instance, long-distance dependencies and returning a semantic representation. These grammars lack robustness in the sense that they do not gracefully handle words missing from their lexicon. Several approaches have been explored to handle this problem, many of which cons...

This paper describes incorporating discriminative features from a multi layer perceptron (MLP) into a state-of-the-art Arabic broadcast data transcription system based on cepstral features. The MLP features are based on a recently proposed Bottle-Neck architecture with long-term warped LPTRAP speech representation at the input. It is shown that the previously reported improvements on a developm...
