Italian speakers tend to stress the second component of German morphologically complex words such as compounds and prefix verbs even if the first component is lexically stressed. To improve their prosodic phrasing an automatic pronunciation teaching method was developed based on auditory feedback of prosodically corrected utterances in the learners’ own voices.

The following paper presents an approach for simulating the acquisition of new lexical entries for unknown words, an issue that is central to natural language processing since no lexicon can ever be complete. Acquisition involves two main tasks. First, the appropriate information about an unknown word in a given linguistic context (i.e. sentence) is identified. It is shown that this task requir...
متن کاملExplorations in lexical sample and all-words lexical substitution
In this paper, we experiment with several techniques to solve the problem of lexical substitution, both in a lexical sample as well as an all-words setting, and compare the benefits of combining multiple lexical resources using both unsupervised and supervised approaches. Overall in the lexical sample setting, the results obtained through the combination of several resources exceed the current ...
