In non-rhotic Australian English, glottalization and ‘r’ insertion are strategies used to separate contiguous heterosyllabic vowels (hiatus). This study examined hiatus breaking strategies to determine whether realisation and incidence differed as a function of prosodic context. We were also interested in whether inserted ‘r’ exhibited preplanning. In an elicited production task, 14 nonrhotic A...

Kipchak Turkish with Armenian script is one of the interesting and special fields language its linguistic features, alphabet it uses, interactions reflects between languages dialects, diversity subjects such as history, religion philology. With written texts produced in Eastern Europe 16th-17th centuries, also has feature being only period Historical Kipchak. This period, which provides importa...

The study proceeds from the results of the previous studies showing that the distributional characteristics (frequency) of language input are crucial for the acquisition of prepositions (Savić & Anđelković, 2005, in preparation). The authors analyze deviations in the distribution of prepositions in children's spontaneous speech from the prediction made on the basis of the distributional charact...

body. Say where the data were acquired, mention limitations to fixed time differences. Abstract line 12. Another missing preposition. p. 8340, line 19. “Upper atmosphere” should read “upper troposphere and stratosphere”.

Preposition-noun combinations (PNCs) are compositional and productive, but not fully regular. In school grammars and many theoretical approaches, PNCs are neglected, but they have recently been addressed in an HPSG analysis by Baldwin et al. (2006). After discussing some basic properties of PNCs, we show that statistical methods can be employed to prove that PNCs are indeed productive and compo...

Text mining refers to the process of discovering interesting and non trivial patterns or knowledge embedded in unstructured text documents from a fixed domain. It is also known as knowledge discovery from text databases. Text mining tasks include text categorization, text clustering, concept/entity extraction, document summarization and entity relation modelling. Extracting concept/fact from th...

Many grammatical error correction approaches use classifiers with specially-engineered features to predict corrections. A simpler alternative is to use n-gram language model scores. Rozovskaya and Roth (2011) reported that classifiers outperformed a language modeling approach. Here, we report a more nuanced result: a classifier approach yielded results with higher precision while a language mod...

THE STUDY of language and the study of literature have been artificially separated for far too long. The origins of the separation can be traced back to classical times, but we have had our fill of it in recent decades, with generations of children being forced to live within the parallel universes of'lang' and 'lit' in school, then moving to the more sophisticated and intellectually challengin...

Following (Blitzer et al., 2006), we present an application of structural correspondence learning to non-projective dependency parsing (McDonald et al., 2005). To induce the correspondences among dependency edges from different domains, we looked at every two tokens in a sentence and examined whether or not there is a preposition, a determiner or a helping verb between them. Three binary linear...
