متن کاملHandling Syntactic Extra-Grammaticality
This paper reviews and summarizes six diier-ent types of extra-grammatical phenomena and their corresponding recovery principles at the syntactic level, and describes some techniques used to deal with four of them completely within an Extended GLR parser (EGLR). Partial solutions to the remaining two by the EGLR parser are also discussed. The EGLR has been implemented.

In Experiment 1, participants were trained on an artificial language generated from hierarchical phrase structure rules. Some participants w...

It seems that deaf people suffer from language and speech impairments such as in perception of complex linguistic constructions. This research was aimed to study the pe...
