A promising approach to qualitative reasoning about mechanism kinematics is the theory of pace vocabu:aries . In this paper, we propose a new method of computing the place vocabulary representation . The computation is split into the combinatorial manipulation of the symbolic information, and the evaluation of predicates on the metric dimensions by an abstract device, the metric diagram . This ...

ABSTRACT This study compared the receptive and expressive language profiles of verbally expressive children and adolescents with Down Syndrome (DS) and those with Fragile X syndrome (FXS) and examined the extent to which these profiles reliably differentiate the diagnostic groups. A total of twenty-four verbal participants with DS (mean age: 12 years), twenty-two verbal participants with FXS (m...

This article was written before i knew any biology. It has a lot of misconceptions about how things work, and uses all the wrong vocabulary. Please at least read "non-coding region" every time i wrote "introns". Despite the embarassment, i leave this online for historical purposes only. Then again, some ideas are worth a thought, knowing that it was all theoretical and abstract, prior to any bi...

Wushour·silamu Caiqin Nuominghua College of information science and engineering Xinjiang University, Urumqi 830046 Abstract: A small vocabulary, isolated word speech recognition system in java has been realized. In this system we have done the extraction of feature parameter, the training of speech model parameter and the recognition of the recorded speech. MFCC is used as feature parameter, HM...

[Abstract] This paper presents a novel method to segment/decode DNA sequences based on statistical language model. Firstly, we find the length of most DNA “words” is 12 to 15 bps by analyzing the genomes of 12 model species. Then we apply the unsupervised approach to build the DNA vocabulary and design DNA sequence segmentation method. We also find different genomes is likely to use the similar...

Elena BORISSOVA Institut Russkogo yazyka imP~shkina Moscow Abstract This paper presents a computer-tool teaching system supplied by a language processor. Its aim is to correct mistakes in texts written by foreign students learning Russian as a second language. Since a text may include grammar mistakes, the system cannot use morphological analysis to fool extent. So one must compile a programm c...

Recent research in linguistics singles out emotion words as different from other abstract words. The goal of this article is to examine five factors that may impact the use of L2 emotion vocabulary. The first study considers the impact of language proficiency, gender, and extraversion on the use of emotion words in the advanced French interlanguage of 29 Dutch L1 speakers. The second examines t...

Learners exposed to an artificial language recognize its abstract structural regularities when instantiated in a novel vocabulary (e.g., Gómez, Gerken, & Schvaneveldt, 2000; Tunney & Altmann, 2001). We asked whether such sensitivity accelerates subsequent learning, and enables acquisition of more complex structure. In Experiment 1, pre-exposure to a category-induction language of the form aX bY...
