Computational modeling of human language processes is a small but growing subfield of computational linguistics. This paper describes a course that makes use of recent research in psychocomputational modeling as a framework to introduce a number of mainstream computational linguistics concepts to an audience of linguistics, cognitive science and computer science doctoral students. The emphasis ...

Lantolf is George and Jane Greer Professor Emeritus of Language Acquisition and Applied Linguistics and former director of the Center for Advanced Language Proficiency Education and Research at the Pennsylvania State University, USA.

Since the advent of the computer in 1945, computational research has by now become pervasive in just about all newly created as well as traditional fields. Nor has linguistics escaped this tidal surge. In fact, a pre-computer computational perspective had already been attempted when linguists examined their data utilizing scientific methods; computational linguistics was formalized after the em...

This article is devoted to the study of notion reduplication in linguistics; concepts full, partial are given. marvel and features their construction. Reduplication terms expression not limited repeating same units or only one basis syllable. Repetitions also considered as repetitions associated with complete repetition a reductive sound, well “repetition synonymous lexical units, that is, crea...

is paper compares the two FGD-based annotation scenarios for Czech and for English, with the Czech as the basis. We discuss the secondary predication expressed by infinitive and its functions in Czech and English, respectively. We give a few examples of English constructions that do not have direct counterparts in Czech (e.g., tough movement and causative constructions with make, get, and have...

Propp’s influential structural analysis of fairy tales created a powerful schema for representing storylines in terms of character functions, which is straightforward to exploit in computational semantic analysis and procedural generation of stories of this genre. We tackle two resources that draw on the Proppian model – one formalizes it as a semantic markup scheme and the other as an ontology...

Issues of representation arise in natural language processing, user interface design, art, and indeed, communication with any medium. This paper addresses such issues using algebraic semiotics, which draws on algebraic specification to give (among other things) an algebraic theory of representation, and a generalization of blending in the sense of cognitive linguistics. New ideas in this paper ...

The central notion of structural linguistics is that of contrast or opposition: The linguistic value and role of a unit cannot be reduced to its physical substance, but is crucially determined by the network of relations that it enters into with other units of a similar kind: phoneme to phoneme, morpheme to morpheme, etc. A mid front vowel /e/ in a five-vowel system is something quite different...
