Online Processing of Wh-Dependencies in English by Native Speakers of Spanish
… learners of English are capable of processing wh-dependencies incrementally and observing the grammatical constraints that regulate wh-extraction in English, similar to native speakers. The study included two self-paced reading experiments run in a word-by-word non-cumulative moving …

Examining native and non-native establishment of dependencies in the online processing of coordinate phrase agreement in Spanish: An event-related potentials study
The present study investigates the processing of gender agreement with coordinate noun phrases in native speakers of Spanish and English-speaking second language (L2) learners of Spanish. In Spanish, nouns are assigned a grammatical gender (masculine/feminine), and adjectives must agree with the …

Processing of non-canonical word orders in an L2
This thesis investigates the processing of non-canonical word orders and whether non-canonical orders involving object topicalizations, midfield scrambling and particle verbs are treated the same by native (L1) and non-native (L2) speakers. The two languages investigated are Norwegian and German. …

Big Data Analytics in Static and Streaming Provenance
… provenance. It develops filters and a non-preprocessing slicing technique for in-situ querying of static provenance. It presents a stream processing framework for online processing of provenance data at high receiving rate. While the former is sufficient for answering queries that are given …

L1 attrition in Italian: Pronominal reference and (pseudo-)relative parsing ambiguities
… pattern and disentangle the role of interpretive/processing biases from the syntax-discourse interface, we compare pronominal subjects which are often taken to sit at the syntax-discourse interface with (pseudo-)relative clause attachment ambiguities. We argue that this is an interesting …

What happened (and what didn't): prominence promotes representation of salient alternatives in discourse
… were nevertheless mentioned in the discourse. Online reading time measures in Experiment 2 indicated that emphasized words did not improve performance on all trials and only benefited memory to the extent that participants devoted extra time to them, although no such relation was observed in …

Ambiguity resolution of adults with low literacy
… reading. In the present study, we investigated online processing of homographs among community-dwelling adults who were diverse in age, race, and literacy skill. Participants read 60 passages containing an ambiguous word while their eye movements were recorded. The first sentence was …

An investigation of how multiple sources of information are integrated during online reading
The current project investigates the online processing consequences of a conflict between different levels of linguistic representation, specifically focusing on the relationship between the mechanisms supporting word recognition and the information conveyed at the sentence level. The first set of …

Reading experience predicts eye movements during online auditory comprehension
Current theories of language processing suggest that individuals use the probabilities in the language they experience to constrain comprehension as language unfolds, predicting that properties of the linguistic input, such as frequency and predictability, will affect online processing (MacDonald, …

Grammatical constraints in second language sentence processing
… underuse morpho-syntactic information during online processing of L2 sentences, leading to an ongoing debate about how they represent and process structural information in sentence processing. Some researchers propose that L2 sentence processing is qualitatively different from L1 sentence …

Transfer Pricing--Can It Effectively Be Applied To Computer Services?
… point of view, the primary function of the data processing department is to maximize the benefit the firm receives from its data processing resources. Though such a goal may be generally accepted, it is not entirely clear how it is achieved. This thesis seeks to remedy this situation by applying …

Nonlinear Dynamics, Stochastic Methods, And Predictive Modelling For Infectious Disease: Application To Public Health And Epidemic Forecasting
… are introduced, with a particular focus on online learning and real-time prediction. Efficient Bayesian inference methodology is developed for analyzing the posterior of covariance components of dynamic models sequentially with a closed-form estimation algorithm for real-time online …

Processing of canonical and scrambled word orders in native and non-native Korean
… present study aims to investigate the nature of processing mechanisms in adult first-language (L1) and second-language (L2) sentence processing, specifically, whether adult L2 learners are capable of developing native-like sentence processing strategies. By testing a head-final language (Korean) …

The role of structural and discourse-level cues during pronoun resolution
… provided by the prior discourse is used during online processing. This is investigated through several eye tracking during reading experiments that are complemented by a number of offline questionnaire experiments. I begin by considering how condition B of the Binding Theory (Chomsky 1981; 1986) …

Prosodic and structural variability in free word order language discourse
… of presentation (written or auditory), human processing of discourse obligatorily involves monitoring relative information prominence which reflects how important information is in discourse, and thereby determines the perceptual impact it makes on the speaker and the listener. In spoken …

Integrative text mining and management in multidimensional text databases
… and the system should well support OLAP (online analytical processing) of the text information. This is a big challenge for most existing text mining techniques because of the efficiency and the scalability issues. On the other hand, the huge amount of text information in such databases …

Use of plausibility information and structural preference in resolving sentence ambiguity in Korean
This study investigated online processing of temporarily ambiguous relative clause (RC) constructions in Korean to determine how multiple sources of information, such as syntactic preference and semantic plausibility, were employed in reading comprehension by three groups of Korean speakers with …

Investigating The Necessary Components of a Sarcastic Context
… The ratings were then used to develop an online reading task to investigate the effect of negative tension on the processing of sarcastic and literal statements. Three groups of items were taken from the previous studies to form high negative tension; low negative tension; and literal …

The syntactic side of Time: processing Adverb-Verb Temporal Agreement
… of the cognitive mechanisms underlying the online processing of adverb-verb temporal agreement, namely the coherence in temporal features between the verb and a deictic temporal adverb (e.g. YesterdayPAST I wentPAST/*will goFUT to the jazz concert), during sentence comprehension. There are …

Acquisition systems and decoding algorithms of peripheral neural signals for prosthetic applications
… in order to obtain good performance at the next processing phases. To this aim, a recording module for peripheral neural signals will be presented, based on the use of a sigma-delta architecture which is composed by two main parts: an analog front-end stage for neural signal acquisition, …
