In this paper, we propose a method to convert a written sentence in spoken language into a suitable representation in sign language within the framework of Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG). The representation reflects the multi-channel nature of sign language performance, including manual and non-manual linguistic signals of multiple channels and information about their coordination. We sho...

objectives: stuttering is one of the most prevalent speech and language disorders. symptomology of stuttering has been surveyed from different aspects such as biological, developmental, environmental, emotional, learning and linguistic. previous researches in english-speaking people have suggested that some linguistic features such as word meanings may play a role in the frequency of speech non...

This paper argues for a distinction between word formation from roots and word formation from existing words. Focusing on Hebrew, it is shown that words made of roots may be assigned multiple and varied interpretations, while words made of existing words must depend semantically and phonologically on the word from which they are derived. To account for this difference, a locality constraint on ...

The article focuses on the terminological derivation of modern English-language economic discourse terminology as one ways English word-stock enriching, studies structure multicomponent phrases in mentioned sphere. main are following: terminologization, derivation, borrowing a term from another language, literal translation, abbreviation. study distinguishes two-, three-, four-, five-, six- and...

Tree controlled grammars are context-free grammars where the associated language only contains those terminal words which have a derivation where the word of any level of the corresponding derivation tree belongs to a given regular language. In this paper, we consider first the case that we take only such regular languages as the control set which can be represented by finite unions of monoids....

This paper describes the derivation of probability of correctness from scores assigned by most recognizers. Motivation for this research is three-fold: (i) probability values can be used to rerank the output of any recognizer by using a new set of training data; if the training data is su ciently large and representative of the test data, the recognition rates are seen to improve signi cantly, ...

Contemporary medical terminology frequently stems from ancient Greek origins. However, there is some controversy relating to the true derivation of the word ‘‘glaucoma’’. The disorder, now defined as glaucoma, was first documented by the Ancient Greeks in 400 BC. ‘‘Glaucosis’’ was first mentioned in Hippocratic writings as a blinding disease occurring most commonly in the elderly. The descripti...

One of the important tasks of language acquisition is the ability to distinguish between an inflectional derivation from a target word, which is a variant of this word (e.g., tool tools), and a completely new word (e.g., tool stool). In an attempt to explain the ability to solve this problem, it has been proposed that the beginning of the word is its most psychologically salient portion. Howeve...

Craig Squier proved that, if a monoid can be presented by a finite convergent string rewriting system, then it satisfies the homological finiteness condition left-FP3. Using this result, he constructed finitely presentable monoids with a decidable word problem, but that cannot be presented by finite convergent rewriting systems. Later, he introduced the condition of finite derivation type, whic...

We consider the following restriction of internal contextual grammars, called local: in any derivation in a grammar, after applying a context, further contexts can be added only inside of or at most adjacent to the previous ones. We further consider a natural restriction of this derivation mode by requiring that no superword of the word considered as selector can be used as selector. We investi...
