This study was going to find out the significant difference between students’ English communicative competence after being taught by using original PPP method and modified CLT. Moreover, more effective one in improving investigated. is a true experimental research both control class comparing PPP. The subject forty junior EFL students whose were still at lower level. result showed that there on...

We describe results of a study of perceptually based predictions of upcoming prosodic breaks in spontaneous Swedish speech materials by native speakers of Swedish and of standard American English. The question addressed here is the extent to which listeners are able, on the basis of acoustic and prosodic features, to predict the occurrence of upcoming boundaries, and if so, whether they are abl...

This paper describes a resource-rich toolkit that assists EFL writers take a discoverybased approach to writing accurate and fluent English. The system helps learners identify lexico-grammatical errors by matching patterns gleaned from a very large corpus of learners’ texts. Users are guided to appropriate language patterns as they write and revise through online declarative and procedural reso...

This paper presents a comparable translation corpus created to investigate translation variation phenomena in terms of contrasts between languages, text types and translation methods (machine vs. computer-aided vs. human). These phenomena are reflected in linguistic features of translated texts belonging to different registers and produced with different translation methods. For their analysis,...

One way to investigate the neuronal underpinnings of language competence is to correlate patholinguistic profiles of aphasic patients to corresponding lesion sites. Constituting the beginnings of aphasiology and neurolinguistics over a century ago, this approach has been revived and refined in the past decade by statistical approaches mapping continuous variables (providing metrics that are not...

This paper presents Infinite RAAM (IRAAM), a new fusion of recurrent neural networks with fractal geometry, allowing us to understand the behavior of these networks as dynamical systems. Our recent work with IRAAMs has shown that they are capable of generating the context-free (non-regular) language anbn for arbitrary values of n. This paper expands upon that work, showing that IRAAMs are capab...

This paper presents a multilingual Natural Language Generation system that produces technical instruction texts in Bulgarian, Czech and Russian. It generates several types of texts, common for software manuals, in two styles. We illustrate the system’s functionality with examples of its input and output behaviour. We discuss the criteria and procedures adopted for evaluating the system and summ...

The problem of automatic text segmentation is subcategorized into two different problems: thematic segmentation into rather large topically selfcontained sections and splitting into paragraphs, i.e., lexico-grammatical segmentation of lower level. In this paper we consider the latter problem. We propose a method of reasonably splitting text into paragraph based on a text cohesion measure. Speci...
