The present study aimed to examine the role of logical reasoning in the relation between lexical quality and reading comprehension in 146 fourth grade Dutch children. We assessed their standardized reading comprehension measure, along with their decoding efficiency and vocabulary as measures of lexical quality, syllogistic reasoning as measure of (verbal) logical reasoning, and nonverbal reason...

This study deals with one of the means lexical consistency, which is (repetition), has a prominent role in achieving textual coherence dialogue prophets (Noah, Hood, Saleh) their people. From this perspective, we studied repetition its four types (complete, partial, synonymous, general words) as way to highlight between prophet his people, or two dialogues and sometimes three mentioned prophets...

The familiar Hindley-Milner type system of the ML language family is extended with monad annotations to account for possible side eeects of expression evaluation. This also allows eeects to be eeectively encapsulated by lexical scopes, with enforcement provided by type checking. A type-and-eeects analysis supports type inference. Type soundness and completeness theorems establish the coherence ...

We argue that in general, the analysis of lexical cohesion factors in a document can drive a summarizer, as well as enable other content characterization tasks. More narrowly, this paper focuses on how one particular cohesion factor—simple lexical repetition—can enhance an existing sentence extraction summarizer, by enabling strategies for overcoming some particularly jarring enduser effects in...

This paper describes an information broker capable of retrieving texts from the WWWeb by using con-textual pointers. The broker is a client for TextNet, a text-based knowledge base using WordNet as a lexical backbone and a contextual inference scheme motivated by abductive semantic connectivity. The ability to obtain relevant information from the web is determined by a combination of (1) the te...

WordNet is extensively used as a major lexical resource in NLP. However, its quality is far from perfect, and this alters the results of applications using it. We propose here to complement previous efforts for “cleaning up” the top-level of its taxonomy with semi-automatic methods based on the detection of errors at the lower levels. The methods we propose test the coherence of two sources of ...
