Objective School readiness involves the development of foundational skills such as emergent literacy and fundamental movement skills as well as the capacity to attentively engage in instructional situations.

We present an experimental paradigm to measure changes in characteristics of speech under vocal fatigue. As speech material, we have chosen a vocal load (3 hours) and a cognitive process (aloud continuous reading) that can induce some fatigue of the reader. The fatigue is verified using an analysis of reading errors and of disfluencies. A multivariate analysis based on Wilks' lambda test, on 16...

In this chapter, the main reference point in Yorick Wilks’s work is Wilks (1978). This extends his preferencebased semantics (Wilks, 1975) to handling metaphor. Wilks (1978) covers a number of issues that deserve fresh comment and that are central to problems about metaphor that are still unresolved—theoretically, let alone computationally. Also, the legacy of the 1978 work stretched through to...
