This paper presents the results of an experiment on syntax priming in an e-mail tandem language learning environment. Twenty-two subjects participated in the completion of 6 tasks in pairs. Subject-pairs working together on tasks consisted of a native speaker of Spanish learning English and a native speaker of English learning Spanish. Bilingual asynchronous written communication between pair m...

Aims and Objectives: English allows inanimate objects to be sentence subjects (e.g., “The knife cut the bread”) but Korean Japanese restrict of causal sentences on basis animacy. In previous work, we found that speakers relaxed their native grammatical animacy constraint when immersed in knives acceptable Korean). We suggested this L2 influence occurred because does not map cleanly onto semanti...

In this paper, we describe the system and approach used by the Institute for Infocomm Research (IR) for the IWSLT 2009 spoken language translation evaluation campaign. Two kinds of machine translation systems are applied, namely, phrase-based machine translation system and syntax-based machine translation system. To test syntax-based machine translation system on spoken language translation, va...

Previous models in syntax-based statistical machine translation usually resort to some kinds of synchronous procedures, few of these works are based on the analysis-transfer-generation methodology. In this paper, we present a statistical implementation of the analysis-transfergeneration methodology in rule-based translation. The procedures of syntax analysis, syntax transfer and language genera...

The research presented in the paper is interdisciplinary nature. study object includes both key aspects of English grammar and modern approaches trends teaching grammar. suggested ‘’Four-dimensional model grammar’’ based on ‘’Three-dimensional model’’ teaching, which combines syntax, semantics pragmatics, consistent with methodological principles communicative approach language teaching. fourth...

We present the creation of an English-Swedish FrameNet-based grammar in Grammatical Framework. The aim of this research is to make existing framenets computationally accessible for multilingual natural language applications via a common semantic grammar API, and to facilitate the porting of such grammar to other languages. In this paper, we describe the abstract syntax of the semantic grammar w...
