This paper described recent activities of the Linguistic Data Consortium in the collection, annotation and distribution of language data the developments of tools and standards for using that data, the creation of metadata to facilitate the search for linguistic resources.

Although it prefigures many advances in linguistic theory, the scholarship of nineteenth century scholar Mikołaj Kruszewski is today largely forgotten. In these papers I hope to rectify this situation somewhat by introducing Kruszewski’s insights to modern discourse on phonology. In addition to a detailed summary of Kruszewski’s major work, An Outline of Linguistic Science (Očerk Nauki O Jazyke...

Intellectualism about knowledge-how is the view that, in short, an agent’s knowing how to φ is grounded that agent’s propositional attitudes vis-à-vis φ-ing. Themost popular andwell-developed contemporary strategy for defending this position appeals, in the main, to linguistic considerations (e.g. Stanley &Williamson 2001; Stanley 2011), and consequently, the plausibility of intellectualism in ...

A potentially fruitful area for applied linguistic research is the nature of the linguistic systems used by second language learners as they learn--or even after they appear to have stopped learning. It has been suggested at various times that the findings of this sort of research would be useful not only to language teachers and textbook writers, but also to our understanding of language conta...

This study investigates methods to automatically assess the features of content texts within an intelligent tutoring system (ITS). Coh-Metrix was used to calculate linguistic indices for texts (n = 66) within the reading strategy ITS, iSTART. Coh-Metrix indices for the system texts were compared to students’ (n = 126) self-explanation scores to examine the degree to which linguistic indices pre...
