This article presents a study of lemmatisation of flexible multiword expressions in Lithuanian. An approach based on syntactic analysis designed for multiword term lemmatisation was adapted for a broader range of MWEs taken from the Dictionary of Lithuanian Nominal Phrases. In the present analysis, the main lemmatisation errors are identified and some improvements are proposed. It shows that au...

The success of long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks in language processing is typically attributed to their ability to capture long-distance statistical regularities. Linguistic regularities are often sensitive to syntactic structure; can such dependencies be captured by LSTMs, which do not have explicit structural representations? We begin addressing this question using number agreeme...

We describe the patterns of omissions (and substitutions) of freestanding grammatical morphemes and the patterns of substitutions of bound grammatical morphemes in 20 so-called agrammatic patients. Extreme variation was observed in the patterns of omissions and substitutions of grammatical morphemes, both in terms of the distribution of errors for different grammatical morphemes as well as in t...

This study is conducted to determine the effectiveness of teaching grammar-in-context minimize students‘ grammatical errors in writing. The design was a quasi-experimental with non-randomized pretest-posttest control group. samples were taken from population tenth-grade students. group taught by conventional grammar which separately given writing skills. Likewise, experimental one treated gramm...

This study evaluates the robustness of established computational indices used to assess text relatedness in userlanguage. The original User-Language Paraphrase Corpus (ULPC) was compared to a corrected version, in which each paraphrase was corrected for typographical and grammatical errors. Error correction significantly affected values for each of five computational indices, indicating greater...

Abstract The study aimed at investigating the efficacy of written corrective feedback (CF) in improving Iranian EFL learners’ grammatical accuracy. It compared the effects of focused and unfocused written CF on the learners’ grammatical accuracy. 75 EFL students formed a one control and two experimental groups. The focused feedback group was provided with error correction in tenses. The unfocus...

This study aimed to investigate the effect of sentence writing practice on male and female low-intermediate students’ English grammatical accuracy. The question this study tried to answer does English grammatical accuracy can be affected by sentence writing practice. To find the answer to the question, 15 low intermediate level students from Kish away institute were selected. They were both mal...

This article presents the perspectives of linguists from around globe regarding classification grammatical errors. In addition, personal correspondence male and female students is analyzed in accordance with taxonomy extracurricular strategies, most frequent errors made by both sexes are identified. Examples used to illustrate each category error.

Arbitrary recurrent word combinations (collocations) are a key in language learning. However, even advanced students have difficulties when using them. Efficient collocation aiding tools would be of great help. Still, existing “collocation checkers” still struggle to offer corrections to miscollocations. They attempt to correct without making any distinction between the different types of error...
