This paper describes the effect of deviance in focus marking by means of pitch accent distributions in Dutch on L1 perceptions of accentedness, nativeness and comprehensibility in L1 and L2 speech. On a rating task Dutch natives demonstrate that they have unambiguous intuitions concerning L2 speech by Spanish learners of Dutch by categorically rating it as more accented, more difficult to compr...

Network anomaly detection is still a vibrant research area. As the fast growth of network bandwidth and the tremendous traffic on the network, there arises an extremely challengeable question: How to efficiently and accurately detect the anomaly on multiple traffic? In multi-task learning, the traffic consisting of flows at different time periods is considered as a task. Multiple tasks at diffe...

The importance of reading proficiency in a second language (L2) is growing worldwide. Reading L2 involves many questions about the abilities comprehension, including metacomprehension, core ability native speakers (L1) that allows them to be aware their comprehension level and regulate learning. However, its link has not been sufficiently researched. This study examines relationship between sco...

An important aspect for the task of grammatical error correction (GEC) that has not yet been adequately explored is adaptation based on the native language (L1) of writers, despite the marked influences of L1 on second language (L2) writing. In this paper, we adapt a neural network joint model (NNJM) using L1-specific learner text and integrate it into a statistical machine translation (SMT) ba...

Assume ψ ∈ L(R) has Fourier transform continuous at the origin, with ψ̂(0) = 1, and that ∑ l∈Z |ψ̂(ξ − l)| 2 is bounded as a function of ξ ∈ R. Then every function f ∈ L(R) can be represented by an affine series f = ∑ j>0 ∑ k∈Z cj,kψj,k for some coefficients satisfying ‖c‖l1(l2) = ∑

1. INTRODUCI7ON We study certain Sobolev-type regularizations of the hyperbolic conservation laws that add terms simulating both dissipative and dispersive processes. These evolution equations have the form with the auxiliary specification The behaviour in L'(R) of the solutions of problem (S), as well as the value of (S) as an approximation to problem (C), is studied. Convergence results, with...

Abstract This study investigates the second language (L2) acquisition of a constraint on definiteness in Japanese floating numeral quantifiers (NQs) by native English and Korean speakers. The arises because specific structural relation between NQ its associated noun, resulting an obligatorily indefinite interpretation. indirect – or, covert encoding this structure allows investigation predictio...

Bidentate enantiopure Schiff base ligands, (R or S)-N-1-(Ar)ethyl-2-oxo-1-naphthaldiminato-κ(2)N,O, diastereoselectively yield Δ/Λ-chiral four-coordinated, non-planar Cu(N^O)2 complexes [Ar = C6H5 R/S-L1, m-C6H4OMe R-L2, p-C6H4OMe R/S-L3, and p-C6H4Br R/S-L4]. Two N,O-chelate ligands coordinate to the copper(II) atom in distorted square-planar mode, and induce metal-centered Δ/Λ-chirality at th...
