A procedure is described to gather corpora of academic writing from the web using BootCaT. The procedure uses terms distinctive of different registers and disciplines in COCA to locate and gather web pages containing them.

The study of paraconsistent reasoning with ontologies is especially important for the Semantic Web since knowledge is not always perfect within it. Quasi-classical semantics is proven to rationally draw more meaningful conclusions even from an inconsistent ontology with the stronger inference power of paraconsistent reasoning. In our previous work, we have conceived a quasi-classical framework ...

\Prose rhythm" is a widely observed but scarcely quantiied phenomenon. We describe an information-theoretic model for measuring the regularity of lexical stress in English texts, and use it in combination with trigram language models to demonstrate a relationship between the probability of word sequences in English and the amount of rhythm present in them. We nd that the stream of lexical stres...

An obvious prerequisite for both fixed and mobile computing is the ability to adapt (i) to different computing environments or (ii) to external changes occurred in their current computing environment. Otherwise the services are forced to be foreseen with everything they may possibly need during their operationallife time. This is neither desirable nor feasible, thereby hinting at the need for d...

Natural language generation systems to date have concentrated on the tasks of explanation generation, tutorial dialogue, automated software documentation, and similar technical tasks. A largely unexplored area is narrative prose generation, or the production of texts used in stories such as novels, mysteries, and fairy tales. We present a feature analysis of one complex area of NLG found in nar...

this article discusses the technical foundations of the prose poem and trying to look for common or similarity with the foundations of the romantic school and its assets. the prose poem in most founded and doctrine meet romantic so that adopted it and benefited from his principles, and his roots and tried to improve it and makes it different from romance. romantic school depends on in some of i...

prose in particular can modify an unsuspecting reader’s physiological and emotional states profoundly. the semantic priming test in modern psychology exploits this phenomenon—for example, people start to feel and behave as though they have suddenly grown older after they have read a scrambled sequence of words enriched with ageingrelated connotations (Srull & Wyer, 1979). the priming effect is ...
