Introduction: Fundamental notions of mapping hypothesis and canonicity were scrutinized in Persian-speaking aphasics.  Methods: To this end, the performance of four age-, education-, and gender matched Persian-speaking Broca's patients and eight matched healthy controls in diverse complex structures were compared via the conduction of two tasks of syntactic comprehension and grammaticality jud...

We use the persistent homology method of topological data analysis and dimensional techniques to study syntactic structures world languages. analyze relations between parameters in terms dimensionality, hierarchical clustering structures, non-trivial loops. show there are that hold across language families additional family-specific. then trees describing merging structure connected components ...

We consider two different data sets of syntactic parameters and we discuss how to detect relations between through a heat kernel method developed by Belkin–Niyogi, which produces low dimensional representations the data, based on Laplace eigenfunctions, that preserve neighborhood information. analyze connectivity clustering structures arise in datasets, regions maximal variance two-parameter sp...

Chomsky (1957) o ered prescient suggestions about how to formulate theories of understanding for the spoken languages that human children can naturally acquire. We can view his proposal as a prolegomenon to a theory of meaning that combines a layered theory of syntax with an account of how humans can naturally use expressions in acts of referring, asserting, querying, and so on; cp. Austin (196...

A research article (RA) title is the first and foremost feature that attracts the reader's attention, the feature from which she/he may decide whether the whole article is worth reading. The present study attempted to investigate syntactic structures and rhetorical functions of RA titles written in English and Persian and published in journals in three disciplines of Electrical Engineering, Psy...
