In typical early vocabulary development, young toddlers are skilled at learning noun categories. In fact, they use attentional word learning biases in order to categorize nouns, which helps increase their vocabulary. In particular, in a Novel Noun Generalization task, they show a shape bias for solid objects, and a material bias for non-solid substances. Children who are at a delayed vocabulary...

The meaning of such verb-noun collocations as the wind blows, time flies, the day passes by can be generalized as ‘what is designated by the noun exists’. Likewise, the meaning of make a decision, provide support, write a letter can be generalized as ‘make what is designated by the noun’. These generalizations represent the meaning of certain groups of collocations and may be used as semantic a...

We here propose a new method which sets apart domain-specific terminology from common non-specific noun phrases. It is based on the observation that terminological multi-word groups reveal a considerably lesser degree of distributional variation than non-specific noun phrases. We define a measure for the observable amount of paradigmatic modifiability of terms and, subsequently, test it on bigr...

This study is about Syntactic Structure of Coordination on the English Translation Surah Al-Mulk. The purposes this research are to find out types constituents form syntactic structure coordination Al-Mulk and explain distribution data formed as sentences having Method in analyzed by using descriptive qualitative method. To collect data, writer used documentation steps analyze reading, collecti...

All research on plurality has assumed the the [Pl]-feature on the noun is interpreted in some way. Bennett (1974) was the first to propose a semantics of number along these line, and this assumption has been adopted by all subsequent research. Furthermore most research has followed Bennett to assume that the [Pl]-feature on the verb remains uninterpreted in English, and is a reflex of syntactic...

In order to study problems of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) with morphosyntax, we investigated twenty high-functioning Greek-speaking children (mean age: 6;11) and twenty age- and language-matched typically developing children on environments that allow or forbid object clitics or their corresponding noun phrase. Children with ASD fell behind typically developing children in ...
