Authoring or reviewing a scientific paper is tedious to avoid or to locate presentational errors. Errors such as spelling, grammar can be checked by existing tools, whereas structural errors for concepts are harder to detect. Converting a technical paper into a program, the “literature programming” proposed in this paper allows existing program analysis tools to be reused for detecting and reso...

This study examined the effect of dialect variation on children’s spelling by using devoicing of final /d/ in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) as a test case. In line with the linguistic interference hypothesis, African American 6-year-olds were significantly poorer at spelling the final d of words such as salad than non-African American students after their spelling performance on ot...

Correction Some spelling errors were discovered following the publication of this work [1]. The correct spelling of one of authors name is Dr. Dieter Swandulla and not Dr. Dieter Schwandulla. Accordingly his correct e-mail address is [email protected]. The correct spelling of the University of Bonn is Rheinische FriedrichWilhelms-University of Bonn. In addition the current addres...

This paper reports findings from the elaboration of a typology of spelling errors for Spanish. It also discusses previous generalizations about spelling error patterns found in other studies and offers new insights on them. The typology is based on the analysis of around 76K misspellings found in real-life texts produced by humans. The main goal of the elaboration of the typology was to help in...

Chinese spelling check is an important component for many NLP applications, including word processor and search engines. However, compared to checkers for alphabetical languages (e.g., English or French), Chinese spelling checkers are more difficult to develop, because there are no word boundaries in Chinese writing system, and errors may be caused by various Chinese input methods. In this pape...

The study of orthographic errors in a transparent language like Spanish is an important topic in relation to writing acquisition. The development of neuroimaging techniques, particularly functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), has enabled the study of such relationships between brain areas. The main objective of the present study was to explore the patterns of effective connectivity by pr...

Deep dysgraphic patients make semantic errors when writing to dictation and they cannot write nonwords. Extant reports of deep dysgraphia come from languages with relatively opaque orthographies. Turkish is a transparent orthography because the bidirectional mappings between phonology and orthography are completely predictable. We report BRB, a biscriptal Turkish-English speaker who has acquire...

However, little is known about the effects of systematic phonics instruction on foreign language reading and spelling in an EFL context. This study examined the effects of spelling-based phonics in...

Spelling error detection serves as a crucial preprocessing in many natural language processing applications. Unlike English, where every single word is directly typed by keyboard, we have to use an input method Chinese characters. The pinyin the most widely used. By intuition, should be helpful detecting spelling errors. However, when detect errors, of current methods ignore information and ado...
