Learning the Syntax and Semantic Rules of an ECG Grammar

The Effects of Guided and Unguided Semantic Mapping on Iranian EFL Learners’ Vocabulary and Grammar Knowledge

The two be's of English

This  qualitative  study  investigates  the  uses  of  be  in  Contemporary  English.  Based  on  this  study, one  easy  claim  and  one  more  difficult  claim  are  proposed.  The  easy  claim  is  that  the  traditional distinction between be as a lexical verb and be as an auxiliary is faulty. In particular, 'copular-be', traditionally considered to be a lexical verb, is in fact a prototypi...

6 ? ) Automatic Grammar Induction from Semantic Parsing

In this thesis, we investigate an approach for grammar induction that relies on semantics to drive the automatic learning of syntax rules. Specifically, we develop a semantic parser, which parses utterances based on "meaning," rather than syntax, by combining only words and phrases that satisfy a given set of semantic constraints. We subsequently extract a syntactic grammar from the resulting s...

Reverse Engineering of Network Software Binary Codes for Identification of Syntax and Semantics of Protocol Messages

Reverse engineering of network applications especially from the security point of view is of high importance and interest. Many network applications use proprietary protocols which specifications are not publicly available. Reverse engineering of such applications could provide us with vital information to understand their embedded unknown protocols. This could facilitate many tasks including d...

Creating Algorithmic Symbols to Enhance Learning English Grammar

This paper introduces a set of English grammar symbols that the author has developed to enhance students’ understanding and consequently, application of the English grammar rules. A pretest-posttest control-group design was carried out in which the samples were students in two girls’ senior high schools (N=135, P ≤ 0.05) divided into two groups: the Treatment which received gramm...
