GRASP: Grammar- and Syntax-based Pattern-Finder in CALL

چکیده
We introduce a method for learning to describe the attendant contexts of a given query for language learning. In our approach, we display phraseological information in the form of a summary of general patterns as well as lexical bundles anchored at the query. The method involves syntactical analyses and inverted file construction. At run-time, grammatical constructions and their lexical instantiations characterizing the usage of the given query are generated and displayed, aimed at improving learners’ deep vocabulary knowledge. We present a prototype system, GRASP, that applies the proposed method for enhanced collocation learning. Preliminary experiments show that language learners benefit more from GRASP than conventional dictionary lookup. In addition, the information produced by GRASP is potentially useful information for automatic or manual editing process.

GRASP: Grammar- and Syntax-based Pattern-Finder for Collocation and Phrase Learning
We introduce a method for learning to find the representative syntax-based context of a given collocation/phrase. In our approach, grammatical patterns are extracted for query terms aimed at accelerating lexicographers’ and language learners’ navigation through the word usage and learning process. The method involves automatically lemmatizing, part-of-speech tagging and shallowly parsing the se...
متن کاملThe Effect of Multimedia-Based Instruction on Improving Iranian EFL Learners’ Grammar Knowledge and their Attitudes
Applying technologies has recently caused language education to undertake influential modifications. Hence, this study tried to investigate the impact of using technology in form of multimedia on improving grammar knowledge of Iranian high school students and also examined their attitudes toward multimedia-based mode of instruction. To do so, three intact classes of lower intermediate students ...
متن کاملTextuality of Idiomatic Expressions in Cameroon English
The meaning of an idiomatic expression cannot be transparently worked out from the meanings of its constituent words due to its figurative and unpredictable nature. Consequently, the syntactic composition and the structural paradigm of an idiomatic expression are supposed to be the same in every context. However, this is not the case in the institutionalized second language varieties of English...
متن کاملEEG Based Brain Computer Interface Hand Grasp Control: Feature Extraction Method MTCSP
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are communication systems, which enable users to send commands to computers by using brain activity only; this activity being generally measured by Electroencephalography (EEG). BCIs are generally designed according to a pattern recognition approach, i.e., by extracting features from EEG signals, and by using a classifier to identify the user’s mental state from...
متن کاملThe employment of Prolog for a syntax analysis in syntactic pattern recognition applications
In the paper some possibilities of the employment of Prolog for a syntax analysis of context-free languages are shown with respect to syntactic pattern recognition applications. The new syntax-analyzer based on "top-down" strategy is proposed. All terminal symbols contained on a right side of a production of a context-free grammar are used for the decision whether or not the production shall be...
