Several recent empirical findings have reinforced the notion that a basic learning and memory skill—chunking—plays a fundamental role in language processing. Here, we provide evidence that chunking shapes sentence processing at multiple levels of linguistic abstraction, consistent with a recent theoretical proposal by Christiansen and Chater (2016). Individual differences in chunking ability at...

Disfluency is a common occurrence in speech, and generally thought to be related to difficulty in the production system. One unexplored issue is the extent to which inhibition is required to prevent incorrect speech plans from being articulated. Therefore, we examined disfluency production in participants with AttentionDeficit/Hyper-Activity Disorder (ADHD), which is linked to deficits in inhib...

Encoder-decoder models have been commonly used; they achieved state-of-the-art results for many natural language generation tasks. However, according to the reports of previous studies, encoder-decoder suffer from generating redundant repetitions. Thus, we herein propose a repetition reduction module (RRM) that estimates semantic difference source sentence before and after it is fed into model ...

Experiments were performed using probe-word recognition methodology in which participants read sentences that were presented 1 word at a time and were then shown a probe word and had to make a speeded response indicating whether the word had occurred in the sentence. One experiment showed that response times to probe words increased with the size of the set of candidate probes. The other experi...

Novelty identification is accustomed to distinguishing novel data from an approaching stream of documents. In this study, we proposed a novel methodology for document-level novelty identification by utilizing document-to-sentence-level strategy. This work first splits a document into sentences, decides the novelty of every sentence, then registers the record-level novelty score in view of an al...

In this paper, we investigated the accuracy of negative utterance sentences in order to judge drinking. Drinking makes it difficult to pronounce specific sounds correctly. A number of speech parameters have been studied to identify inaccurate pronunciation features. Generally, the method of grasping the inaccurate pronunciation is analyzed using the change of pitch and formant. Formants have va...

BACKGROUND The chosen method of speech assessment, including type of speech material, may affect speech judgement in children with cleft palate. AIM To assess the effect of different speech materials on speech judgement in 5-year-old children born with or without cleft palate, as well as the reliability of materials by means of intra- and inter-transcriber agreement of consonant transcription...

Code-mixing is a study that learns about the understanding of mixing two codes or more languages speakers writers situation without changing meaning sentence. The purposes to find out code-mixing was used and how many were in Interview. This research method applies descriptive qualitative. data analysis this Indonesian English code- on Cinta Laura’s Graduation These are taken from spoken interv...

The block-paradigm of the Functional Image Analysis Contest (FIAC) dataset was analysed with the Brain Activation and Morphological Mapping software. Permutation methods in the wavelet domain were used for inference on cluster-based test statistics of orthogonal contrasts relevant to the factorial design of the study, namely: the average response across all active blocks, the main effect of spe...
