TWLT 21 Algebraic Methods in Language Processing
نویسنده
چکیده
Issues of representation arise in natural language processing, user interface design, art, and indeed, communication with any medium. This paper addresses such issues using algebraic semiotics, which draws on algebraic specification to give (among other things) an algebraic theory of representation, and a generalization of blending in the sense of cognitive linguistics. New ideas in this paper include distinguishing structural and conceptual blending, using co-relations for blending, and using hidden algebra for dynamic signs. Some examples are developed in detail, including their formalization in the BOBJ language.

In this paper I combine an overview of the goals and major approaches in cross-language information retrieval with some observations of current trends and with a report on a CLIR project that differs in many respects from most research activities in the fast growing area. In the overview, I will start from a generic model of an information retrieval system. Then the necessary extensions will be...

Identifying spoken language automatically is to identify a language from the speech signal. Language identification systems can be divided into two categories, spectral-based methods and phonetic-based methods. In the former, short-time characteristics of speech spectrum are extracted as a multi-dimensional vector. The statistical model of these features is then obtained for each language. The ...
متن کاملStrategic Competence and Foreign Language test Performance in Iranian Context
A number of studies have accounted the integral role of foreign/second language learning and learner strategy use. However, a few of these studies have considered the relationships between strategic competence and its use and foreign language performance (FLP). This study applied structural equation modeling to deeply investigate the relationships between test takers’ strategy use and their per...
متن کاملCollocational Processing in Two Languages: A psycholinguistic comparison of monolinguals and bilinguals
With the renewed interest in the field of second language learning for the knowledge of collocating words, research findings in favour of holistic processing of formulaic language could support the idea that these language units facilitate efficient language processing. This study investigated the difference between processing of a first language (L1) and a second language (L2) of congruent col...
متن کاملNative-like Event-related Potentials in Processing the Second Language Syntax: Late Bilinguals
Background: The P600 brain wave reflects syntactic processes in response to different first language (L1) syntactic violations, syntactic repair, structural reanalysis, and specific semantic components. Unlike semantic processing, aspects of the second language (L2) syntactic processing differ from the L1, particularly at lower levels of proficiency. At higher L2 proficiency, syntactic violatio...
