Popular distributional approaches to semantics allow for only a single embedding of any particular word. A single embedding per word conflates the distinct meanings of the word and their appropriate contexts, irrespective of whether those usages are related or completely disjoint. We compare models that use the graph structure of the knowledge base WordNet as a post-processing step to improve v...

In this study, the researcher examined the extent to which form recall of target lexical items by learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) is affected by a) repetition and b) by the type of target item; single words versus collocations.
