It is necessary to read an entire text in order understand its meaning, or it may suffice a few pages sentences conclude that the content of discourse coherent and interdependent. As Arab commentators rhetoricians have put it, constitutes artistic painting which one part does not replace other. On contrary, this alone represent outside text, represents inside question arise here can readers ext...

We present an evaluation of CALL-SLT, a web-deployed speech-enabled platform for improving fluency in a limited domain, based on the “translation game” idea of Wang and Seneff. The evaluation used 10 Chinese-speaking students of French, who spent an average of about three hours each practising on a set of five lessons covering elementary and intermediate grammar topics in a restaurant domain. W...

One problem for the generation of natural language text is determining when to use a sequence of simple sentences and when a single complex one is more appropriate. In this paper, we show how focus of attention is one factor that influences this decision and describe its implementation in a system that generates explanations for a student advisor expert system. The implementation uses tests on ...

Grammar Flow Analysis (GFA) is a computation framework that can be applied to a large number of problems expressed on context-free grammars. In this framework, as was done on programs with Data Flow Analysis, those problems are split into a general resolution procedure and a set of speciic propagation functions. This paper presents a number of improvement techniques that act on the resolution p...

The Constraint Grammar of Estonian presented in the paper is the first attempt in automatic syntactic analysis of Estonian. The grammar consists of 1,240 morphological disambiguation rules, 47 clause boundary detection rules, 180 morphosyntactic mapping rules and 1,118 syntactic constraints. The rules have been devised using a training corpus of 20,300 words and have been tested on a benchmark ...

In this paper a Grammar Guided Genetic Programmingbased method for the learning of rule-based classification systems is proposed. The method learns disjunctive normal form rules generated by means of a context-free grammar. The individual constitutes a rule based decision list that represents the full classifier. To overcome the problem of computational time of this system, it parallelizes the ...

Evaluating spoken grammar skills is an important component of evaluating the overall spoken English skills of a candidate. This paper presents a novel approach that incorporates the knowledge of acoustic-phonetics to improve the performance of an existing spoken grammar evaluation technique in a questionanswer paradigm. A novel acoustic parameter, Onset Coherence, to make a one-pass distinction...

INTRODUCTION Grammar is a core component of the language system, yet it is rarely assessed during the Wada (intracarotid amobarbital) test. It is hypothesized that adding grammar tests to the recovery phase of the Wada test will increase our ability to lateralize language function. METHOD Sixteen individuals (nine females, fifteen right-handed, mean age 38.4 years, SD=10.7) with medically ref...
