In this article, we introduce a new technique for constructing wide-coverage morphological lexica from large corpora and morphological knowledge, with an application to French. Basically, it relies on the idea that the existence of a hypothetical lemma can be guessed if several different words found in the corpus are best interpreted as morphological variants of this lemma. We first validated o...

The present paper studies the use of adjectives in Shakespeare's Sonnets (4, 5, 6, & 9), which are chosen randomly, on three levels: grammar, lexis and conversation. It tackles as a literary term with presenting their forms functions. presentation is done according to themes, functions conversation, shown this for forms, frequency meanings sonnets effects studying. analysis Quirk et al. (19...

This article presents the results of a perception study of foreign phonemes, in particular, Polish phonemes categorized by Croatian native listeners. Our experiment shows that listeners can identify phonemes of an unknown/new language (L2) without having had prior training in this new language if the phonemes utilize the same phonological distinctive features as employed in the native language ...

Language and emotions are closely linked. However, previous research suggests that this link is stronger in a native language (L1) than in a second language (L2) that had been learned later in life. The present study investigates whether such reduced emotionality in L2 is reflected in changes in emotional memory and embodied responses to L2 in comparison to L1. Late Spanish/English bilinguals p...

Second language (L2) acquisition necessitates learning and retrieving new words in different modes. In this study, we attempted to investigate the cortical representation of an L2 vocabulary acquired in different learning modes and in cross-modal transfer between learning and retrieval. Healthy participants learned new L2 words either by written translations (text-based learning) or in real-lif...

Questo lavoro è dedicato agli errori di accordo genere nell’italiano L2 parlato da studenti la cui L1 il polacco. L’articolo si concentra sui sostantivi differisce tra e (es. It. casa[F] vs. Pol. dom[M] ‘casa’). L’ipotesi della ricerca che in tali condizioni, l’accordo può verificarsi nella forma richiesta non dalla lingua destinazione, ma L1. La configurazione linguistica scelta particolarment...

Computational approaches to inference and information extraction often assume that adjective-noun compounds maintain all the relevant properties of the unmodified noun. A significant portion of nonsubsective adjectives violate this assumption. We present preliminary work towards a classifier for these adjectives. We also compile a comprehensive list of 60 nonsubsective adjectives including thos...
