The xgreek package provides rudimentary support for Greek language typesetting with XƎLATEXand LuaLATEX. In particular, it provides support for modern Greek (either monotonic or polytonic) and ancient Greek.

This paper delimits and analyzes the effects of the harassment perpetrated by ETA's terrorist network in the Basque Country. The aim was to provide a taxonomy of the consequences of psychological violence and to validate this taxonomy, by means of a content analysis of 37 testimonies of victims of terrorist violence. The taxonomy of consequences of psychological violence is made up by four comp...

Were the ancients Greeks “racists” in the modern sense of the term “racist”? The terms ancient Greek “proto-racism”, tribalism (and/or racism) are used here to denote the abstract, narcissistic notion that not only the non-Greek barbarians, but also certain ancient Greek tribes (like the Macedonians, the Boeoteans etc.) should be excluded from the Hellenic community, for they were considered to...

In this paper, we discuss our endeavors for the Named Entities Workshop (NEWS) 2016 transliteration shared task, where we focus on English to Thai transliteration. The alignment between Thai orthography and phonology is not always monotonous, but few transliteration systems take this into account. In our proposed system, we exploit phonological knowledge to resolve problematic instances where t...

In this paper we present a systematic study of abductive consequence relations. We show that a monotone abductive consequence relation satisses the properties of a cumulative monotonic system as deened by Kraus, Lehmann and Magidor when the disjunction of all abductive explanations is the explanation used to justify the observations. We also show that, in general, for this class of abductive co...

The acquisition of definite articles has often been related to the acquisition of functional categories (see e.g. Radford, 1990; Clahsen, 1996; Penner & Weissenborn, 1996), since definite articles belong to the functional category (FC) D. Under this view, a problem that remains unsolved is why children pass through a stage in which they produce some definite articles, while at the same time the...

This paper explores the relative contributions made by orthography, syllabic segment, and lexical tone in the word recognition and retrieval process. It also challenges recent assumptions regarding the role of orthography and tones in mental lexicon architecture. Using an implicit priming paradigm, a word recognition experiment was conducted with native speakers of two tonal languages, Chinese ...

Related languages, like English and Spanish, often have similar orthographies but use the same letters to represent different sounds. Learning a second language frequently involves learning additional letter-sound mappings that mismatch those in the native language. In the current study, we investigated whether L2 spoken words activate L2 orthography despite conflict with L1 orthography-to-phon...
