Naming practices offer a window onto linguistic processes of productivity that rely on input from interacting streams of information. Previous studies have looked at proper personal names and binomial combinations of proper personal names to show that phonological features such as rhythm, semantic features such as gender, and corpus features such as word frequency play an important role in nami...

We present several statistical models of syntactic constituent order for sentence realization. We compare several models, including simple joint models inspired by existing statistical parsing models, and several novel conditional models. The conditional models leverage a large set of linguistic features without manual feature selection. We apply and evaluate the models in sentence realization ...

Three experiments investigated whether speakers use constituent ordering as a mechanism for avoiding ambiguities. In utterances like "Jane showed the letter to Mary to her mother", alternate orders would avoid the temporary PP-attachment ambiguity ("Jane showed her mother the letter to Mary", or "Jane showed to her mother the letter to Mary"). A preference judgment experiment confirmed that com...

This paper investigates clausal constituent order in Estonian, a language often described the literature as exhibiting verb-second “tendency”. We present corpusbased study of ordering independent affirmative declarative clauses, drawing data from both written and spoken corpora. Our results show that, while Estonian is robustly along same lines modern Germanic standard languages, exhibits much ...

In this paper we prove some stochastic comparisons results for progressive type II censored order statistics. The problem of stochastically comparing concomitants of the two progressive type II censored order statistics with possibly different schemes, under different kinds of dependence between X and Y is considered and it is proved that if Y is stochastically increasing (decreasing) in X, ...

Using transmittance electron microscopy, fluorescence and polarizing optical microscopy, optical spectroscopy, and fluorescent correlation spectroscopy, it was shown that CdSe/ZnS quantum dots coated with a specifically designed surfactant were readily dispersed in nematic liquid crystal (LC) to form stable colloids. The mixture of an alkyl phosphonate and a dendritic surfactant, where the cons...

ULTRA (Universal Language Translator) is a multi-lingua] bidirectional translation system between English, Spanish, German, Japanese and Chinese. It employs an interlingua] structure to translate among these five languages. An interlingual representation is used as a deep structure through which any pair of these languages can be translated in either direction. This paper describes some techniq...

this paper submitting the computation of optimize point of ordering in inventory control systems and particularly for continuous review of ordering system (r,q) by fuzzy logic method which similarly can be used for other ordering systems. since in the ordering models we cannot forecast the parameters like cost exactly, we have ambiguity. in this case using precise parameters may cause wrong dec...

Beyond the scale of spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry light and strange baryons should be considered as systems of three constituent quarks with confining interaction and a chiral interaction that is mediated by Goldstone bosons between the constituent quarks. The flavor-spin structure and sign of the short-range part of the Goldstone boson exchange interaction reduces the SU(6)FS symmetr...

The ordering matrix, which was originally introduced by de Gennes, is a well-known mathematical device for describing orientational order of biaxial nematic liquid crystal. In this paper we propose a new interpretation of the ordering matrix. We slightly modify the definition of the ordering matrix and call it the geometric order parameter. The geometric order parameter is a linear transformati...
