Syntactic parsing is vital for semantic treatment by many applications related to natural language processing (NLP), because form and content coincide in many cases. However, it has not yet reached the levels of reliable performance. By manually examining and analyzing individual machine translation output errors that involve syntax as well as semantics, this study attempts to discover what is ...

This study investigates whether some speech recognition (SR) errors are easier to detect and what patterns can be identified from those errors. Specifically, SR errors were examined from both nonlinguistic and linguistic perspectives. The analyses of non-linguistic properties revealed that high error ratios and consecutive errors lowered the ease of error detection. The analyses of linguistic p...

Within the domain of inflectional morpho-syntax, differential processing of regular and irregular forms has been found in healthy speakers and in aphasia. One view assumes that irregular forms are retrieved as full entities, while regular forms are compiled on-line. An alternative view holds that a single mechanism oversees regular and irregular forms. Arabic offers an opportunity to study this...

In this paper we present a Neural Network (NN) architecture for detecting grammatical errors in Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) using monolingual morpho-syntactic word representations in combination with surface and syntactic context windows. We test our approach on two language pairs and two tasks, namely detecting grammatical errors and predicting overall post-editing effort. Our result...

Göçle gelen mültecilerin birçok sorunu olmaktadır. Bunlardan en önemlisi de iletişim yani dil sorunudur. Göç ettikleri ülkenin dilini bilmek, mülteciler için iş bulabilmek, eğitimlerine devam edebilmek, hayatlarını daha düzenli bir şekilde sürdürebilmek demektir. Son yıllarda Türkiye’ye göç etmek zorunda kalan Suriyelilerin ülkemizdeki hayata uyum sağlamaları pek çok çalışma yürütülmektedir. Zo...

     This project investigates the relationship between lexical semantics and causative morphology in the acquisition of causative/inchoative-related verbs in English as a foreign language by Iranian speakers. Results of translation and picture judgment task show although L2 learners have largely acquired the correct lexico-syntactic classification of verbs in English, they were constrained by ...

Many patients with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) are impaired in syntactic production. Because most previous studies of expressive syntax in PPA have relied on quantitative analysis of connected speech samples, which is a relatively unconstrained task, it is not well understood which specific syntactic structures are most challenging for these patients. We used an elicited syntactic product...
