the aim of this paper is to report on an attempt to design and implement an intelligent system capable of generating the correct part of speech for a given sentence while the sentence is totally new to the system and not stored in any database available to the system. it follows the same steps a normal individual does to provide the correct parts of speech using a natural language processor. it...

this study was intended first to categorize the l2 learners in terms of their learning style preferences and second to investigate if their learning preferences are related to lexical inferencing. moreover, strategies used for lexical inferencing and text related issues of text density and parts of speech were studied to determine their moderating effects and the best predictors of lexical infe...

Formulaic language and sequence as the core characteristic of real-life language and native-like fluency, has been a subject of inquiry in recent decades. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of two extensive reading text types, i.e., adaptive and authentic, on Iranian EFL learners’ development of lexical bundles. To this aim, 20 intermediate EFL learners were chosen to pa...

Phonological sensitivity to lexical class has been addressed in the literature; at least two sets of hypotheses have been advanced regarding its codification in grammar. The first type of approach holds that lexical class differences are limited by restrictions in the design of grammar itself (or more specifically, Universal Grammar): for example, it has been hypothesized that only faithfulness...

This paper investigates the impact on French dependency parsing of lexical generalization methods beyond lemmatization and morphological analysis. A distributional thesaurus is created from a large text corpus and used for distributional clustering and WordNet automatic sense ranking. The standard approach for lexical generalization in parsing is to map a word to a single generalized class, eit...

The study tries to explore the effectiveness of the lexical approach to improving writing in SLA. In order to find out what effects the lexical approach can have on the writing in SLA, the author conducts a teaching experiment with an experimental class and a control class. A pre-test and a post-test are used as the tools to collect the data. SPSS is used to analyze the data in the experiment. ...
