Identifying expression fingerprints using linguistic information
… described in this thesis use a novel set of linguistic features that capture both the content presented in documents and the manner of expression used in conveying this content. These fingerprints consist of both syntactic and semantic elements of language. Examples of the syntactic elements …

The automatic extraction of linguistic information from text corpora
… the feasibility of a fully automated analysis of linguistic data. It identifies a requirement for large-scale investigations, which cannot be done manually by a human researcher. Instead, methods from natural language processing are suggested as a way to analyse large amounts of corpus data …

Language learning in context: an investigation of the processing and learning of new linguistic information.
Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'. The submission was exported from vireo on 2022-04-06 without embargo terms

English grammar as a stratified system of signs
Linguistic information, representing the knowledge that a speaker has of his or her language, can be uniformly represented as a system of signs. In addition to the traditional linguistic signs, the connections between morphemes or morphemic words and their meanings, syntactic constructions, …

The Perceptual Draw of Prosody: Infant-Directed Speech within the Context of Declining Nonnative Speech Perception
… evidence concerning infants' perception of linguistic and prosodic information in speech, few studies have explored the interaction of the two. The present investigation was designed to combine what is known about infants' perception of nonnative phonemes (linguistic information) with what …

Linguistically motivated models for lightly-supervised dependency parsing
… regime. In particular we focus on formulating linguistically aware models of dependency parsing that can exploit readily available sources of linguistic knowledge such as language universals and typological features. This type of linguistic knowledge can be used to motivate model design and/or …

O desenvolvimento de jogos de linguagem em crianças pequenas: uma análise dos vlogs do canal Gêmeos Ale Nanda, no Youtube
… investigate and describe the complexity of the linguistic development of language games, in the initial period of the development of language acquisition by the child. Thus, its main objective is to highlight the importance of playing language games for linguistic development, that is, for the …

Autoregressive hidden Markov models and the speech signal
… these two methods into one inference algorithm, linguistic structures are inferred from a given set of speech data. These results extend historic experiments in which the HMM is used to infer linguistic information from text-based information and from the speech signal directly. Given the added …

Improving Low-Resource Translation with Finite State Grammars
… study develops a method for the incorporation of linguistic information into the training of neural machine translation models for low-resource languages, using morphological grammars created using finite state transducers. This study explores the benefits, historical background, and effectiveness …

Typology-aware neural dependency parsing : challenges and directions
… of cross-lingual dependency parsing. While this linguistic information has shown great promise in pre-neural parsing, results for neural architectures have been mixed. The aim of the investigation put forth in this thesis is to better understand this state-of-the-art. Our main findings are as …

Cot in the Act: Ethnicity and Age Affects Phonemic Perception of the Low-Back Merger in New York City English
… builds on previous results suggesting that non-linguistic information influences speech perception (Rubin 1992, Hay, Warren and Drager 2006), and one specific line of work in this area has shown that being shown a photograph of a person of a particular ethnic background affects listeners’ …

Physiological Arousal and Social Linguistic Perception in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders
… be related to difficulties in processing social linguistic information. Processing such information may be more difficult for individuals with ASD because they experience increased arousal in social situations. The objective of this study was to determine whether differences in arousal exist …

Syntactic Constraints and Social Uses of Greek-English Intrasentential Codeswitching
… The list of features may also hold useful linguistic information regarding codeswitching boundaries that can be further applied to other areas within linguistics. </p> <p>This study will use the recorded speech of six bilingual speakers who codeswitch between Greek and English to determine …

Joint multilingual learning for coreference resolution
… breadth of natural languages for two different linguistic tasks: syntactic parsing and joint learning of named entity recognition and coreference resolution. The syntactic parsing model outperforms current state-of-the-art models by discovering linguistic information shared across languages at …

Learning opportunities and outcomes of L2-L2 and L2-HL learner interaction during a collaborative writing task
… interactants turn their attention to certain linguistic targets within meaningful interaction, called form-focused episodes (FFEs), are believed to promote language learning. A growing body of research on learner-learner interaction has shown that learners internalize the information discussed …

The processing of stereotype-relevant information during reading
I examined the processing of stereotype-relevant information during reading, in particular the degree to which stereotype-mismatch detection and resolution are resource-dependent. In addition I investigated the effects of stereotype-relevant episodic representations on subsequent linguistic and …

Planning Ahead: How Recent Experience With Structures and Words Changes the Scope of Linguistic Planning
The scope of linguistic planning, or the amount of linguistic information that speakers can prepare in advance for an utterance they are about to produce, is highly variable. Distinguishing between possible sources of this variability provides a way to discriminate between accounts of language …

Language-switching cost in Chinese-English bilingual reading comprehension: Evidence from eye-tracking
… narrative consistency and the amount of prime information had greater effects on bilinguals’ total reading times, indicating that the cognitive cost of language-switching arises more from the surprisal of encountering an unpredicted word, compared with encountering an unexpected language. This …

Grounding language in events
… is embedded in multiple modalities of rich non-linguistic information. Applications for such multimodal domains are often based on traditional natural language processing techniques that ignore the connection between words and the non-linguistic context in which they are used. This thesis …

The Effect of the Movie Time Social Learning Method on the Emotional Inferencing Skills in an Adult with Autism Spectrum Disorder
… individuals with ASD because it requires complex information processing. More specifically, it involves the integration of cognitive and linguistic information. There is a lack of research using complex stimuli to treat inferencing. An A-B-A-B design with one adult with ASD was used to examine the …
