Depending on the nature of a linguistic theory, empirical investigations of its soundness may focus on corpus studies related to lexical, syntactic, semantic or other phenomena. Especially work in research networks usually comprises analyses of different levels of description, where each one must be as reliable as possible when the same sentences and texts are investigated under very different ...

Language users have individual linguistic styles. A spoken dialogue system may benefit from adapting to the linguistic style of a user in input analysis and output generation. To investigate the possibility to automatically classify speakers according to their linguistic style three corpora of spoken dialogues were analyzed. Several numerical parameters were computed for every speaker. These pa...

In this paper, we consider the problem of sentence difficulty analysis from various angles. Past works have endeavored to design deterministic scoring algorithms depending only on semantic and syntactic information. We propose instead not only to hire local feature space representing individual sentence with its syntactic and semantic structure, but also to consider global distributional differ...

This paper describes TEXTSIM, a system for determining the similarity between texts. Further, we show the results of a comparison between two various configurations of TEXTSIM; one with and one without any deeper linguistic analysis. To evaluate and compare the two models of TEXTSIM we used two sets of examples: a set of automatically generated examples and a set of examples acquired from two a...

It is clear that children acquire their first language without explicit learning. A foreign or second language is usually learned but to some degree may also be acquired or “picked up” depending on the environmental setting. So, this article mainly discusses the linguistic environmental setting for foreign language acquisition. It suggested that we should make an effective linguistic environmen...

At the present time, many companies try implement TPM (Total Productive Maintenance). For this one, they must to analyze his predisposition to automaintenance, because it is pillar of this Japanese maintenance philosophy. We propose to use fuzzy sets (linguistic labels) to obtain the information of workers, and we facilitate the results as a set of three linguistic labels: red, yelow and green ...
