In order to examine the distribution of errors in different phrases in the Korean prosodic hierarchy, 12 native Korean speakers were recorded while producing tongue twisters. The resulting errors were categorized and their location coded with respect to the prosodic structure of the utterances in which they occurred. Findings were that a disproportionate number of errors occurred in initial or ...

This paper compares the allocation tendency of sentential stresses within base phrases among four reading styles, Lyric, Critical, Explanatory and Neutral. Indicators for stress tendency are defined respectively for words and within phrases to illustrate (1) the possibility for a class of words to obtain sentential stresses on sentence level and (2) which components in a base phrase is easier t...

In the heart of this research work lies the proposed algorithm, which prioritizes the phrases of the search queries. This algorithm suggests the methodology of fetching phrases and then searching all possible phrases, so that recall value can be increased. The most important issue in this regard is the usage of such data structure, which facilitates the efficient search of phrases in documents....

Descriptions of spatial patterns are important components of forest ecosystems, providing insights into functions and processes, yet basic spatial relationships between forest structures and fuels remain largely unexplored. We used standardized omnidirectional semivariance modeling to examine the spatial pattern of fuels and forest structure measured in a systematic nested plot grid covering 14...

The aim of this paper is to provide a contribution to Natural Logic and Neutrosophic Theory. This paper considers lattice structures built on noun phrases. Firstly, we present some new negations of intersective adjectival phrases and their settheoretic semantics such as non-red non-cars and red non-cars. Secondly, a lattice structure is built on positive and negative nouns and their positive an...

Sentences encode hierarchical structural relations among words. Several neuroimaging experiments aiming to localize combinatory operations responsible for creating this structure during sentence comprehension have contrasted short, simple phrases and sentences to unstructured controls. Some of these experiments have revealed activation in the left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and posterior supe...
