this paper aims to provide a description of the need for culturally and linguistically appropriate services (clas) for limited english proficient (lep) patients, an identification of how the lack of clas for lep patients can compromise patient safety and healthcare quality, and discuss barriers to the provision of clas.

This paper investigates major themes espoused in the national anthems of English West Africa. Further, it seeks to find out how these themes are projected linguistically and literarily. Five English-speaking countries in West Africa, namely, Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Liberia and The Gambia, were purposively sampled based on their colonial history, language and geographical location for this...

This paper compares domain-oriented and linguistically-oriented semantics, based on the GENIA event corpus and FrameNet. While the domain-oriented semantic structures are direct targets of Text Mining (TM), their extraction from text is not straghtforward due to the diversity of linguistic expressions. The extraction of linguistically-oriented semactics is more straghtforward, and has been stud...

We give explicit constructions of some finite-dimensional representations of generalized double affine Hecke algebras (GDAHA) of higher rank using R-matrices for Uq(slN ). Our construction is motivated by an analogous construction of Silvia Montarani in the rational case. Using the Drinfeld–Kohno theorem for Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov differential equations, we prove that the explicit representatio...

Delusions are widely believed to reflect disturbed cognitive function, but the nature of this remains elusive. The "un-Cartesian" cognitive-linguistic hypothesis maintains (a) that there is no thought separate from language, that is, there is no distinct mental space removed from language where "thinking" takes place; and (b) that a somewhat broadened concept of grammar is responsible for besto...

We present an analysis of linguistically optimized text entry on mobile phones. This analysis compares the behavior of a linguistically optimized system with wordbased dis ambiguation methods. Through theoretical analysis, it is shown that in real-world situations in which typing errors are common and dictionaries are incomplete, the speed of text -entry using a word-guessing method degrades to...
