Special issue on Structural Priming in Less-Studied Languages and Dialects: Introduction

Introduction to the Special Issue on Processing Morphologically Rich Languages

Introduction to the special issue on processing under-resourced languages

The creation of language and acoustic resources, for any given spoken language, is typically a costly task. For example, a large amount of time and money is required to properly create annotated speech corpora for automatic speech recognition (ASR), domain-specific text corpora for language modeling (LM), etc. The development of speech technologies (ASR, Text-to-Speech) for the already highreso...

Introduction: special issue on cathodoluminescence.

Cathodoluminescence ~CL! microanalysis provides high-sensitivity spectra and high-resolution images associated with impurity and structural defects at the nanoscale and from luminescent materials including minerals, semiconductor, and dielectric/insulating materials. Cathodoluminescence is the non-incandescent emission of light ~photons! emitted from materials excited by an electron beam. CL ph...

Parsing Morphologically Rich Languages: Introduction to the Special Issue

Parsing is a key task in natural language processing. It involves predicting, for each natural language sentence, an abstract representation of the grammatical entities in the sentence and the relations between these entities. This representation provides an interface to compositional semantics and to the notions of “who did what to whom.” The last two decades have seen great advances in parsin...

Structural priming across languages*

In structural priming, the structure of one sentence is echoed in the structure of a second sentence that may be otherwise unrelated to the first. It can occur without the intention to create syntactic parallelism and without specific pragmatic, thematic, and lexical support across utterances. To explore whether it can also occur without specific language support, when the source of priming is ...
