Purpose: We assessed the potential direct and indirect (mediated) influences of 4 cognitive mechanisms we believe are theoretically relevant to canonical and noncanonical sentence comprehension of school-age children with and without developmental language disorder (DLD). Method: One hundred seventeen children with DLD and 117 propensity-matched…

The identification of valid terms in any domain is fundamental to its computerization. For this reason, in this paper we present a method for obtaining automated morphosyntactic patterns, which will help researchers to obtain valid terms from the proposed patterns, in order to build quality ontologies for the translation from one language to…

This paper examines the role of morphology in gradeschool children's learning to read nonpointed Hebrew. It presents two experiments testing the reading of morphologically based nonpointed pseudowords. One hundred seventy-one Hebrew-speaking children and adolescents in seven age/schooling groups (beginning and end of 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 7th, and 11th…

Study results indicate that it is feasible to develop automatic name recognition algorithms to distinguish character strings representing names from other character strings occurring in English language titles. This finding offers cautious promise for alleviating some of the labor intensive work of cataloging. (16 references) (Author/SD)
