Beltrán, David; Liu, Bo; de Vega, Manuel – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2021
Negation is known to have inhibitory consequences for the information under its scope. However, how it produces such effects remains poorly understood. Recently, it has been proposed that negation processing might be implemented at the neural level by the recruitment of inhibitory and cognitive control mechanisms. On this line, this manuscript…

Delahunty, Gerald P. – Kansas Working Papers in Linguistics, 1990
Recent work in language and text has explored such broad functional categories as evidentiality and affect, and has examined their cross-linguistic occurrences and manifestations. This paper focuses on a single construction, explores its variations, and describes and explains its pragmatic and textual functions. This rare construction, exemplified…

Levinson, Stephen C. – Journal of Linguistics, 1991
Expands on an earlier article that explained how a Gricean theory of implicature might provide a systematic partial reduction of the Binding Conditions, and introduces a radical alternative that uses the same pragmatic framework but gives an account better adjusted to some languages.

Budiu, Raluca; Anderson, John R. – Cognitive Science, 2004
We present interpretation-based processing--a theory of sentence processing that builds a syntactic and a semantic representation for a sentence and assigns an interpretation to the sentence as soon as possible. That interpretation can further participate in comprehension and in lexical processing and is vital for relating the sentence to the…

Tan, Fu – Journal of the Chinese Language Teachers Association, 1993
A correspondence is shown between grammatical categories and grammatical functions in Chinese. Some syntactic properties distinguish finite verbs from nonfinite verbs, nominals from other categories, and verbs from other categories. (Contains seven references.) (LB)

Mann, William C.; Matthiessen, Christian M. I. M. – 1983
This three-paper report describes Nigel, a large, programmed grammar of English which has been created in the framework of systemic linguistics begun by Halliday, and which, in addition to specifying functions and structures of English, has a novel semantic stratum which specifies the situations for use of each grammatical feature. The…

Hellwig, Harold – CALICO Journal, 1987
Describes a parsing program called "Analyzing Language" (AL). The Augmented Transition Network was modified to incorporate case grammar analysis. Turbo PASCAL is the program's language. (Author/LMO)

Bodomo, Adams B.; van Oostendorp, Marc – 1994
This paper examines nominalization and serial verb construction (SVC) in Dagaare, a West African language. It discusses nominalization theory and its relation to Germanic languages such as English, German, and Dutch, using insights gained from the study of these languages to help illuminate nominalization in Dagaare and other similar West African…

MacWhinney, Brian – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1987
Describes the "Competition Model" (Bates and MacWhinney, 1982) dealing with second-language sentence processing by bilinguals and research that has further developed theories dealing with the model. (CB)

White, Sheida; Clement, John – National Center for Education Statistics, 2001
This working paper summarizes the results of an expert panel review of the Lexile Framework (LF). The review was conducted by five panel members through readings, the preparation of brief individual reports, and participation in a meeting held on April 26, 2001 in Washington, D.C. The list of panel members and invited observers, along with brief…

Carston, Robyn; Noh, Eun-Ju – Language Sciences, 1996
Argues that essential property of metalinguistic negation is that it involves the echoic use of material falling within the scope of negation operator. This analysis receives support from an investigation of data from Korean. (25 references) (Author/CK)

Faltis, Christian J. – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 1989
Describes Jacobson's New Concurrent Approach to bilingual instruction, which systematically incorporates intersentential code-switching to teach content to limited English proficient children raised in a bilingual environment, and how such incorporation and adaptation contributes to the balanced distribution of the two codes in question. (24…

Aretoulaki, Maria; Tsujii, Jun-ichi – 1994
A computer-based artificial neural network (ANN) that learns to classify sentences in a text as important or unimportant is described. The program is designed to select the sentences that are important enough to be included in composition of an abstract of the text. The ANN is embedded in a conventional symbolic environment consisting of…

Fretheim, Thorstein; Vasko, Ildiko – Language Sciences, 1996
Compares the meanings of the English adverb "then," that is, at that time and after that, to their lexical equivalents in Hungarian and Norwegian, drawing conclusions in the spirit of Sperber and Wilson's relevance theory. Neither Hungarian nor Norwegian has a word that, like the English "then," neutralizes the distinction…

Ornan, Uzzi – Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing Bulletin, 1978
The ability of the computer to generate output not included in the input may be used for linguistic as well as for computational input. The ability to accept linguistic data and process it according to a certain program seems to be a promising field for investigation. Progress in this field may strengthen the assumption that the computer can be…
