SEMEDA (Semantic Meta-Database) : ontology based semantic integration of biological databases
… databases, their heterogeneity and the integration of molecular biological databases. On the other hand the current usage of ontologies in general and with special regard to database integration is described. The principles of semantic database integration as introduced in this thesis …

Accounting for semantic integration: notional and grammatical effects in number agreement
… To explore their workings, we investigated how semantic integration, a type of conceptual relatedness, produces changes in agreement (Solomon & Pearlmutter, 2004). Notional and lexical-grammatical number offer alternative accounts of these effects. The notional hypothesis is that changes in …

Aging and semantic integration in sentence processing: Testing the cognitive workload of wrap-up
… attention to organizational and integrative semantic processes. However, the exact nature of these wrap-up effects is still not entirely clear, with some arguing that wrap-up is not related to processing difficulty, but rather is triggered by a low-level oculomotor response or the implicit …

The neuroanatomy of pictorial reasoning in autism
… under three conditions: visuospatial, semantic and a hybrid visuospatial-cum-semantic condition. Whereas participants with Asperger's syndrome and typically developing controls (CTRL) were found to exhibit similar performance profiles, high-functioning individuals with autism (HFA) …

Behavioural and Neuroimaging Studies of the Influence of Semantic Context on the Perception of Speech in Noise
Meaningful semantic context has been shown to improve comprehension of spoken sentences by young and old adults, especially in difficult listening conditions. Whether older adults benefit differently than younger adults is a topic of some controversy. I asked young (14 participants, 18-25) and …

Connective ties in discourse : three ERP-studies on causal, temporal and concessive connective ties and their influence on language processing
… adverbs (experiments 2 and 3)? * Does the semantic content of the connective ties play the primary role, i.e is the major distinction to be made indeed between connective and non-connective or instead between causal, temporal and concessive? * When precisely is the information provided by …

Processing negative imperatives in Bulgarian : evidence from normal, aphasic and child language
… indicate increasing processing costs due to the semantic integration of prefixes as perfectivity markers into an overall imperfective construal. This inference is supported by the slower RT to reflexive clitics, which undergo a structurally triggered resolution. Evaluated against cross-linguistic …

Analysis of Electrophysiological Markers and Correlated Components of Neural Responses to Discourse Coherence
… hemisphere lateral anterior sites in response to semantic and discourse processing. Although useful as a marker for clinical populations of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and developmental language disorder (DLD), little is understood about the dynamics and neural sources of this biological …
