This article deals with the peculiarities of mechanisms providing formation of semantics of compound words from the perspective of the cognitive approach. More to the point, it is a question of conceptual derivation, where meaning formation of compound words is carried out by the interaction of its component conceptual structures. The author has researched the main means which take part in the ...

In this paper, we present a hybrid approach to align single words, compound words and idiomatic expressions from bilingual parallel corpora. The objective is to develop, improve and maintain automatically translation lexicons. This approach combines linguistic and statistical information in order to improve word alignment results. The linguistic improvements taken into account refer to the use ...

Compound words make up a major part of modern Chinese vocabulary. Behavioral studies have demonstrated that access to lexical semantics of compound words is driven by the interaction between orthographic and phonological information. However, little is known about the neural underpinnings of compound word processing. In this functional magnetic resonance imaging study, we asked participants to ...

This study compared the effects of two annotation modalities on the reading comprehension of Iranian intermediate level EFL learners. The two experimental groups under study received treatment on 10 academic L2 reading passages under one of two conditions: One group received treatment on key words in the reading passages through a multimedia environment providing textual annotations. The second...

what we mean by alliteration of homogeneous words is that such alliteration is based on two or more lexical basis that is conspicuously coordinative and homogeneous with each other. they are homogeneous in that their form, structure, and tone, are similar. we can name two homogeneous words, two bases of homonym. it is evident that such words, though homogeneous from one hand, should necessarily...

Studies are reviewed that demonstrate how the identification of compound words during reading is constrained by the foveal area of the eye. When compound words are short, their letters can be identified during a single fixation, leading to the whole-word route dominating word recognition from early on. Hence, marking morpheme boundaries visually by means of hyphens slows down the processing of ...

Lexicostatlstical vork usually treats script letters as the basic unit. This Is not suitable for Chinese, »here the basic unit contains a meanln«;, a pronunciation, and a form. The "»ord* ve study Is actually of two signs, so ve must study two-element words. I have tried to find properties that are Independent of form, meaning, and pronunciation, but incline to consider the meaning important wh...
