How Linguistic Exposure Modulates the Acceptability of Long-Distance Dependencies
… the acceptability of a certain type of long-distance, so-called ‘filler-gap’ dependency: object-extracted wh-question islands. We take a two-pronged approach. First, we look into how long-term, lifetime exposure to various components of a sentence (estimated from corpora) impacts its …

An LFG approach to Modern Greek Relative Clauses
… been regarded in the literature as a type of Long Distance dependencies with unique properties.This thesis looks at the properties of three types of relative clauses in Modern Greek (restrictive, non-restrictive and free relative clauses). Working in the framework of Lexical Functional …

Heads and Adjuncts: an experimental study of subextraction from participials and coordination in English, German and Norwegian
… of adjunction is licensed in the semantics and long-distance dependencies are licensed in the syntax can provide a more unified account of subextraction from two separate types of island configurations, viz. asymmetric subextraction from coordination and subextraction from participial adjuncts, …

Sentiment Analysis Using Deep Learning: A Comparison Between Chinese And English
… and they don't have enough capacity to deal with long-distance sequential dependencies. So, we propose a model based on recurrent neural network model using a context vector space model. Chinese information entropy is typically higher than English, we therefore hypothesise that context vector …

Comprehending Mandarin Relative Clauses: Ambiguity, Locality and Expectation
… of locality in Mandarin sentence processing. Long-distance dependencies between words in a sentence usually become more difficult when the distance increases. This is called a locality effect and is generally explained in terms of increasing memory load with distance. However, a few previous …

Spoken Language Understanding: from Spoken Utterances to Semantic Structures
… complex features that can capture arbitrarily long distance dependencies. On the other hand they tend to over-fit training data and so they are less robust to annotation errors in the data needed to learn the model. This work presents an exhaustive study of Spoken Language Understanding models, …

Is cue-based memory retrieval 'good-enough'?: Agreement, comprehension, and implicit prosody in native and bilingual speakers of English
… the complete syntactic route for agreement and long-distance dependencies in particular (Lewis & Vasishth, 2005; Wagers, Lau, & Phillips, 2009; Wagers, 2008). When retrieval fails using CBMR (due to cue overlap, memory trace decay, or some other factor), comprehenders may compensate by applying …
