Nouns may refer to countable objects such as tables, or to mass entities such as rice. The mass/count distinction has been discussed in terms of both semantic and syntactic features encoded in the mental lexicon. Here we show that event-related potentials (ERPs) can reflect the processing of such lexical features, even in the absence of any feature-related violations. We demonstrate that count ...

We decribe the submissions made by the National Research Council Canada to the Native Language Identification (NLI) shared task. Our submissions rely on a Support Vector Machine classifier, various feature spaces using a variety of lexical, spelling, and syntactic features, and on a simple model combination strategy relying on a majority vote between classifiers. Somewhat surprisingly, a classi...

In this paper we present a readability assessment system for Basque, ErreXail, which is going to be the preprocessing module of a Text Simplification system. To that end we compile two corpora, one of simple texts and another one of complex texts. To analyse those texts, we implement global, lexical, morphological, morpho-syntactic, syntactic and pragmatic features based on other languages and ...

The question of the linguistic personality description character a work art through analysis lexical and syntactic markers is considered. A review main trends in development theory made, which determine objectivity identifying lexical-syntactic marker as unit that integrates units various levels. results functioning word ‘yasno’ [clear], marks protagonist novel “We” by E. Zamyatin, are presente...

This paper intends to contribute research on the simplification hypothesis by incorporating a multi-discourse analysis. The study compares non-specialized and academic specialized discourse with aim of describing their similarities difference in terms syntactic stylistic simplification. Considering two variables (non-specialized/specialized original/translated texts) allows for examination whic...

While the choice of morphological markers is lexically determined and highly idiosyncratic – fahren/Fahrt (drive/drive) vs. erklären/Erklärung (explain/explanation)-, syntactic combination follows general rules: the verb assigns nominative and accusative case to the subject and direct object, the derived noun systematically requires genitive case for both complements. These observations exhaust...

asadi’s shahnameh is a great epic consisting of twenty-four thousand distiches and is attributed to asadi or another poet of the same nickname. this work was created in the same line of development as ferdowsi’s shahnameh. the main theme is the old campaign of soleymān to iran to confront with rostam and keykhosrow and to repeat the pattern of rostam’s battles with his children in a state of an...

This paper discusses the recognition of textual entailment in a text-hypothesis pair by applying a wide variety of lexical measures. We consider that the entailment phenomenon can be tackled from three general levels: lexical, syntactic and semantic. The main goals of this research are to deal with this phenomenon from a lexical point of view, and achieve high results considering only such kind...

This study examines whether lexical repetition, syntactic skills, and working memory (WM) affect children's syntactic-priming behavior, i.e. their tendency to adopt previously encountered syntactic structures. Children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) and typically developing (TD) children were primed with prenominal (e.g., the yellow cup) or relative clause (RC; e.g., the cup that is ye...

Textual entailment has been proposed as a unifying generic framework for modeling language variability and semantic inference in different Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. By evaluating on NTCIR-11 RITE3 Simplified Chinese subtask data set, this paper firstly demonstrates and compares the performance of Chinese textual entailment recognition models that combine different lexical, syntac...
