This paper examines several modular inverse algorithms in GF (p) that have been proposed in literature. A survey of these algorithms attempts to study the evolution of modular inversion methods and trace key areas of improvement for hardware implementation efficiency.

A construction is given for associating to any symmetric (v, k, X) design a self-dual code of length v+ 1 over GF (p), where p is any divisor of the square-free part of k — k. These codes are then used to obtain a substantial strengthening of a result of Hughes on automorphisms of designs. Specifically, suppose a symmetric {v, k, X) design possesses an automorphism a of odd prime order q. If an...

PURPOSE This study was conducted to examine whether the expressive language characteristics of typically developing (TD) children learning English as a second language (ESL) have similarities to the characteristics of the English that is spoken by monolingual children with specific language impairment (SLI), and whether this could result in the erroneous assessment of TD English-language learne...

The goal of this paper is to present, by means of the detailed analysis of a single grammatical problem, some of the principal commitments and mechanisms of a grammatical theory which assigns a central role to the notion of GRAMMATICAL CONSTRUCTION. To adopt a constructional approach is to undertake a commitment in principle to account for the entirety of each language. This means that the rela...

The present study characterizes the neural correlates of noun and verb imageability and addresses the question of whether components of the neural network supporting word recognition can be separately modified by variations in grammatical class and imageability. We examined the effect of imageability on BOLD signal during single-word comprehension of nouns and verbs. Subjects made semantic simi...

Abstract This article investigates the evolutionary and spatial dynamics of typological characters in 117 Indo-European languages. We partition types change (i.e., gain or loss) for each variant according to whether they bring about a simplification morphosyntactic patterns that must be learned, are neutral neither simplifying nor introducing complexity) introduce more complex pattern. find cha...

This squib aims to further our understanding of the relation between invariants of grammar and grammatical categories. Keenan and Stabler (2003) propose to formalize of the notion of ‘structural/ grammatical’ in terms of automorphism invariance, based on a very general notion of formal grammars (Bare Grammars). It is natural to think that category labels (more precisely: sets of language expres...

Automatic grammatical error detection for Chinese has been a big challenge for NLP researchers. Due to the formal and strict grammar rules in Chinese, it is hard for foreign students to master Chinese. A computer-assisted learning tool which can automatically detect and correct Chinese grammatical errors is necessary for those foreign students. Some of the previous works have sought to identify...
