Specific Language Impairment (SLI) is a developmental language disorder characterised by morpho-syntactic errors in the absence of neurological trauma, cognitive impairment, psycho-emotional disturbance, or motor-articulatory disorders.

In the 18th and 19th century of English literature, there were two generations of English Romantic poetry in Britain, who have produced great influences on the literature world. Those romantic poets were inspired more or less by the French Revolution, and advocated to the people to pursue beauty and inner freedom in nature or art. The most extraordinary features found in their poems are the abu...

The prosodic specification of an utterance to be spoken by a Textto-Speech synthesis system can be devised in break indices, pitch accents and boundary tones. In particular, the identification of break indices formulates the intonational phrase breaks that affect all the forthcoming prosody-related procedures. In the present paper we use tree-structured predictors, and specifically the commonly...

In the course of our study, we address four distinct genre types, we record their observable stylistic elements and we indicate their exploitation for automatic genre-based document classification. The findings of our study demonstrate that texts contain lexic...

In this paper, we experimentally study the problem of querying the web in a hybrid language, namely Greeklish. Greeklish is the transliteration of Greek in Latin characters of the ASCII code. Although Greeklish emerged as a convenient mean for the creation and distribution of digital data at a time when Unicode Transformation Format was not supported for the Greek alphabet, nevertheless it is s...

If we consider an n x n image as an n2 dimensional vector, then images of faces can be considered as points in this n2-dimensional image space. Our previous studies of physical transformations of the face, including translation, small rotations and illumination changes, showed that the set of face images consists of relatively simple connected sub-regions in image space [1]. Consequently linear...

The aim of the study is to present the efforts of the Greek physicians to introduce a malaria control and eradication program in Greece. It is based on the proceedings of the Greek Anti-Malaria League and on medicohistorical studies. Due to political, economic and military reasons the Greek State seemed weak to develop a dedicated plan to eradicate malaria. Hence, the Greek Anti-Malaria League ...
