Two experiments used a digitizing tablet to analyse the temporal, spatial, and kinematic characteristics of handwritten production of arabic numbers. They addressed a specific issue of the numerical domain: Does the lexical and syntactic structure of verbal numerals influence the production of arabic numerals (Experiments 1 and 2), even after enforced semantic processing in a comparison task (E...

In this paper we propose a modular structure to define communication acts with verbal and nonverbal elements inspired in the SAIBA model. Our modular structure is a conceptual interpretation of the functional features of a multimodal interaction platform we have developed, with an embodied conversational agent (ECA) that implements verbal and gestural communication strategies aimed at minimisin...

Verbal and compositional lexical aspect provide the underlying temporal structure of events. Knowledge of lexical aspect, e.g., (a)telicity, is therefore required for interpreting event sequences in discourse We show that it is possible to represent lexical aspect|both verbal and compositional|on a large scale, using Lexical Conceptual Structure (LCS) representations of verbs in the classes cat...

Current lexical semantic representations for natural language applications view verbs as simple predicates over their arguments. These structures are too coarse-grained to capture many important generalizations about verbal argument structure. In this paper, I specifically defend the following two claims: verbs have rich internal structure expressible in terms of finer-grained primitives of mea...

The lexical information of verbal lexemes, such as verbs and adjectives, plays an important role in syntactic parsing, because the structure of a sentence mainly hinges on the type of verbal lexemes. The question we address in this research is how to acquire the ‘argument structure’ (henceforth ARG-ST) of verbal lexemes in Korean. It is well known that manual build-up of type hierarchy usually ...

Twenty years ago Michael (1993) refined and extended the concept of the conditioned establishing operation (CEO). With this paper he updated his previous treatment of the topic (Michael, 1982) by providing terminological refinements and conceptually clear descriptions of the reflexive and transitive CEOs. In the 20 years since the publication of that paper there has been an increase in the appl...

The use of virtual reality (VR) as a methodological tool is becoming increasingly popular in behavioral research as its flexibility allows for a wide range of applications. This new method has not been as widely accepted in the field of psycholinguistics, however, possibly due to the assumption that language processing during human-computer interactions does not accurately reflect human-human i...

Neste artigo, propomo-nos, a partir da perspectiva teórico-metodológica Análise de Discurso, analisar representação mulher no e pelo discurso do esporte, especificamente, formulado dos Jogos Olímpicos Tóquio 2021. Para tanto, selecionamos três capas jornal “O Globo”, das quais, analisando relação entre linguagem verbal não-verbal na constituição diferentes efeitos sentidos levando em consideraç...

Marcus Berger, University of Michigan 0. While much recent work has focused on various nominal and verbal properties of syntactic nominalizations, relatively little work has investigated how their internal structure is derived. Many authors adopt a ‘mixed projection’ hierarchy in which verbal projections appear interpolated into an otherwise nominal hierarchy. The resulting combination of proje...
