This research applies dialectometric methods to purely syntactic dialect data. It will be shown that there is geographic cohesion in syntactic variation when viewed in the aggregate. The amount of syntactic variation which can be accounted for by geography will be determined. Dialectometric techniques will be used to develop an additive measure of syntactic differences. Multidimensional scaling...

A parallel distributed processing model of visual word recognition and pronunciation is described. The model consists of sets of orthographic and phonological units and an interlevel of hidden units. Weights on connections between units were modified during a training phase using the back-propagation learning algorithm. The model simulates many aspects of human performance, including (a) differ...

We present a paradigm for the automatic assessment of pronunciation quality by machine. In this scoring paradigm, both native and nonnative speech data is collected, and a database of human-expert ratings is created to enable the development of a variety of machine scores. We rst discuss issues related to the design of speech databases, and the reliability of human ratings. We then address pron...

Naturalization is a translation procedure that is predominantly utilized in the translation of English medical terms into Indonesian. This study focuses on identifying types of naturalization involving the adjustment of spelling and pronunciation and investigating whether naturalization has been appropriately applied based on the rules in the Indonesian general guidance of term formation. The d...

The Speaking Skill Evaluation (SSE) technologies are derived from speech recognition technologies and are used for language learning and instructing. In this paper, an effective automatic pronunciation scoring method for SSE systems is proposed. The CenterDistance Continuous Probability Model (CDCPM) is incorporated to model the speech. The Merging-Based Syllable Detection Automaton (MBSDA) and...

In this research, we proposed a system that can use automatically generated templates for detecting Chinese spelling error. At first, we use frequently used Chinese characters to produce the Chinese confusion set. Based on a dictionary, our system automatically generated negative vocabulary template with the help of Chinese confusion set. Error types include pronunciation-related errors and rad...

The aim of the present study was to identify the volleyball skills that discriminate in favour of victory. Twenty-four games (n=24) from the Senior Men's Volleyball World Championship played in Italy in 2010 were chosen and analyzed with Data Volley software. The discriminating function was used to identify the discriminating variables, using a canonical structuring coefficient of |SC| ≥ .30. T...
