In a pilot investigation, aiming to develop new methodological insights into the study of perceptual modelling of the macro-prosodic organization of spoken Swedish, different aspects of the listeners’ variation were studied. Two listener groups, students at the beginner’s level and trained phoneticians, had to mark the most prominent words and the chunks they could hear in speech samples of spo...

In this paper, we propose languagespecific methods of sentiment analysis in morphologically rich languages. In contrast of previous works confined to statistical methods, we make use of various linguistic features effectively. In particular, we make chunk structures by using the dependence relations of morpheme sequences to restrain semantic scope of influence of opinionated terms. In conclusio...

It is common for a wayfinding task to involve travel across a familiar and an unfamiliar region that encompass different parts of the same route. Routes of this kind would entail schematized descriptions and the schematization would directly depend on the familiarity of the region being described. This paper presents a new formalization that identifies key conceptual elements of such routes and...

Assigning semantic roles to the constituents of a natural language sentence is an important first step in translating natural language into a logical form for further processing. I present a statistical classifier which can perform this task using minimal syntactic cues. I use the syntactic and the semantic head of each constituent as the only features and present simple rules for extracting th...

Millipedes (Diplopoda), with a few notable exceptions, are poor dispersers, showing a very high degree of endemicity, not the least in mountains. The first samplings of the Mesovoid Shallow Substratum (MSS) of the higher altitudes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains (Baetic System, Southern Spain) have led to the discovery of a high number of millipedes, each of the species present showing a differe...
