A three-month longitudinal case study is reported of a L2 learner's response to corrective feedback. While the major bulk of evidence indicates that correction on the whole has positive effects on the particular learner's learning, there is also evidence contradicting the popular assumption that feedback is always semantically transparent with respect to the learning problem. Confronted with co...

We propose a two-layered model for computing semantic and conceptual interpretations from dependency structures. Abstract interpretation schemata generate semantic interpretations of `minimal' dependency subgraphs, while production rules whose speci cation is rooted in ontological categories derive a canonical conceptual interpretation from semantic interpretation structures. Con gurational des...

Interpretation. The basic idea of abstract interpretation is to simplify and omit all calculations that do not directly influence the execution costs. For example, instead of computing a numeric value, it is only computed whether it is positive or negative, thereby speeding up the execution of the program to be examined. While having the attraction of being very general, one major disadvantage

In allegories polysemy relates not only to the context and the audience’s understanding but also to the structural characters of these texts. This paper investigates the function of structural and narrative properties in the creation of multiple interpretations of an allegory. Focusing on the events and following a unique story-line is the most important trait in helping to read the alleg...
