Computational Linguistics: Language Learning

Sign Language & Linguistics

The work reported in this study is based on research that has been carried out while developing a sign synthesis system for Greek Sign Language (GSL): theoretical linguistic analysis as well as lexicon and grammar resources derived from this analysis. We focus on the organisation of linguistic knowledge that initiates the multi-functional processing required to achieve sign generation performed...

Brain, language, and linguistics.

During the past quarter of a century, Brain and Language (B & L) has recorded and stimulated research on the biological/neurological basis for human language. As noted in the Whitaker editorial in the first issue of the first volume (Whitaker, 1974), although for centuries scholars of different disciplines had been interested in the question of brain function and cognition, specifically languag...

Language, Linguistics and Cognition

Experimental research during the last few decades has provided evidence that language is embedded in a mosaic of cognitive functions. An account of how language interfaces with memory, perception, action and control is no longer beyond the scope of linguistics, and can now be seen as part of an explanation of linguistic structure itself. However, although our view of language has changed, lingu...

A Linguistics Oriented Programming Language

A programming language fo r natural language processing programs is descr ibed. Examples of the output of programs w r i t t e n using it are g iven. The reasons fo r various design decisions are discussed. An actual session wi th the system is presented, in which a small fragment of an Engl ish-to-French t r ans la to r is devel oped. Some of the l i m i t a t i o n s of the system are d i s c...
