Adopting corpus-based empirical approaches to linguistics, this paper has two main goals: the first is to propose formal methodology to extract meaningful quantitative characterizations from Chinese corpora, the second is to achieve generalizations about theoretically significant linguistic qualities based on these quantitative data. The quantitative scales discussed include mutual information,...

We report preliminary data from a study of selfvoice identification in children with phonological impairment (PI), where results from 13 children with PI are compared to results from a group of children with typical speech. No difference between the two groups was found, suggesting that a phonological impairment does not affect children’s ability to recognize their recorded voices as their own....

This report describes preliminary data from a study of how children with phonological impairment (PI) perceive automatically corrected versions of their own deviant speech. The results from 8 children with PI are compared to results of a group of 20 children with typical speech and language (nPI). The results indicate group differences only in tasks where the children make judgments of their ow...

Preface The contributions to this volume are selected and peer-reviewed papers on the basis of talks which were delivered on the QUALICO 2012 was, as usual, open to original papers without any limitations as to thematic or methodological aspects. Therefore, a large variety of topics has been addressed and numerous fields of linguistics and related fields have been touched. A number of contribut...

In der Woche vom 23. bis 27. September 1991 fand an der Universität Trier die erste internationale Quantitative Linguistics Conference (QUALlCO 91) statt. Veranstalter dieser von der DFG finanziell sowie von zahlreichen nationalen und internationalen wissenschaftlichen Gesellschaften und Vereinigungen organisatorisch unterstützten Konferenz waren die GLDV, die im Rahmen der QUALlCO 91 auch ihre...

English Historical Linguistics has a rich and long-standing tradition of corpus-based work (cf. the surveys in Rissanen 2008, Kytö 2012). Resources such as the HELSINKI corpus, the BROWN family of corpora, and ARCHER have spawned active research programs for the study of lexical and grammatical change, both long-term (Curzan 2008) and short-term (Mair 2008). In addition, corpus resources inform...

There are at least three types of unconscious cognitive biases [8,9] that can adversely affect the results of intuitive judgments, given the way that they are currently typically gathered in the syntax/ semantics literature: 1. Confirmation bias on the part of the researcher: researchers will often have a bias favoring the success of the predicted result, with the consequence that they will ten...
