Natural Language Grammar can be viewed as a formal system in many aspects. The traditional way of presenting grammar to students as a set of morphosyntactic rules in order to speak a language correctly can be substituted profitably by formal models that explain the interfaces between morphology, syntax and semantics and even pragmatics. These models are based in most cases in logical models. Th...

One of the benefits of language identification that is particularly relevant for code-switching (CS) research is that it permits insight into how the languages are mixed (i.e., the level of integration of the languages). The aim of this paper is to quantify and visualize the nature of the integration of languages in CS documents using simple language-independent metrics that can be adopted by l...

This research is concerned with the phenomenon of semantic change, which one phenomena development that modern linguists have been interested in a lot by showing it to ancient Arab linguists, especially exegetes Holy Qur’an, including Al-Qurtubi, who field this research. The was (the change terms specifying or expanding meaning), general connotation limited some its parts and comprehensiveness ...

In presenting some aspects of our somewhat unusual grammar to a gathering of qomputational linguists, I feel justified in taking two things for granted: first, that most people who have taken an active interest both in computers and in natural language have come to realise that computers, although impressively fast and reliable in many tasks, are not very brilliant when it comas to making in-du...

0.1 This paper is concerned with natural language, computers, and two groups of people interested in natural language: ]inguists, and persons engaged in computer processing of natural language data. There is some intersection of the latter sets, but the intersection is quite small relative to the size of the sets themselves and is thus inadequate to provide linguists with a proper perspective o...

Like every discipline, theorizing in linguistics crucially involves drawing (often tentative) conclusions about the relation between the available evidence and the theories under consideration. At many points in their research, linguists must decide whether the available evidence (theoretical, empirical, etc.) supports a given theory well enough to accept it, possibly over various competing the...

In this paper we present the results of a project, named ASIt, which provides linguists with a crucial test bed for formal hypotheses concerning human language. In particular, ASIt aims to capture crosslinguistic variants of grammatical structures within a sample of about 200 Italian Dialects. Since dialects are rarely recognized as official languages, first of all linguists need a dedicated di...
