The main role and responsibility of second language writing teachers is to help learners to write with minimal errors. To do so, teachers need to provide students with appropriate types of feedback. In this research, the researchers examined the effect of post-text written corrective feedback on written grammatical accuracy of Iranian intermediate EFL learners. In the first phase, Nelson Profic...

Scientific articles exhibit a fairly conventionalized structure in terms of topic types such as background, researchTopic, method and their ordering and rhetorical interrelations. This paper describes an effort to make such structures explicit by providing a corpus of German linguistic articles with XML markup according to a text type schema defining 21 topic type categories. The corpus is furt...

We describe experiments into the use of distributional similarity for acquiring lexical information from clinical free text, in particular notes typed by primary care physicians (general practitioners). We also present a novel approach to lexical acquisition from ‘sensitive’ text, which does not require the text to be manually anonymised – a very expensive process – and therefore allows much la...

Synonymy – different words with the same meaning – is a major problem for text mining systems. We have proposed asymmetric word similarities as a possible solution to this problem, where the similarity between words is computed on the basis of the similarities between contexts in which the words appear, rather than on their syntactic identity. In this paper, we give details of an incremental al...

For an algebra [Formula: see text] belonging to a quasivariety [Formula: see text], the quotient [Formula: see text] need not belong to [Formula: see text] for every [Formula: see text]. The natural question arises for which [Formula: see text]. We consider algebras [Formula: see text] of type (2, 0) where a partial order relation is determined by the operations [Formula: see text] and 1. Withi...

Human readings of structured documents exhibit a much richer intonation than that observed in read isolated sentences. It is a challenge to capture this richness in an automatic way using datadriven techniques. In this paper, we extend our previous research on intonation modelling for isolated sentences in different respects: (i) the RNN (Recurrent Neural Network) intonation model is now traine...
