this project investigates the relationship between lexical semantics and causative morphology in the acquisition of causative/inchoative-related verbs in english as a foreign language by iranian speakers. results of translation and picture judgment task show although l2 learners have largely acquired the correct lexico-syntactic classification of verbs in english, they were constrained by the m...

The article deals with the prosodic competence of learners German, and more precisely units. It is not always easy for to correctly determine these units consequently set correct sentence accents. Lack correspondence between syntactic leads sometimes errors. tries analyze discrepancies phrases in order certain regularities.

We present a novel approach to incremental recovery from lexical and syntactic errors in an interactive software development environment. Unlike existing techniques, we utilize the history of changes to the program to discover the natural correlation between user modifications and errors detected during incremental lexical and syntactic analysis. Our technique is non-correcting—the analysis ref...

We describe the design of Comlex Syntax, a computational lexicon providing detailed syntactic information for approximately 38,000 EnglJish headwords. We consider the types of errors which arise in creagng such a lexicon, and how such errors can be measured and controlled.

An analysis of OWL ontologies represented in RDF/XML on the Web shows that a majority are OWL Full. In many cases this may not be through a desire to use the expressivity provided by OWL Full, but is rather due to syntactic errors or accidental misuse of the vocabulary. We present a “rogues gallery” of common errors encountered, and describe how robust parsers that attempt to cope with such err...

This paper reports the first results of an on-going research on evaluation of Machine Translation quality. The starting point for this work was the framework of ISLE (the International Standards for Language Engineering), which provides a classification for evaluation of Machine Translation. In order to make a quantitative evaluation of translation quality, we pursue a more consistent, finegrai...

In the current paper, we assess whether morphophonological information (consistent, inconsistent or ambiguous with the syntactic information) affects syntactic encoding. We report four experiments (one in Italian, one in French and two in Spanish) in which we elicited gender agreement errors between the subject of a sentence and a predicative adjective using the same methodology used by Viglioc...
