Corpus-based cross-linguistic research: directions and applications
- Izquierdo Fernández, Marlén
This paper outlines the various possibilities offered by corpus linguistics for cross-linguistic research. Three main areas belonging to the so-called 'interlingual linguistics' field, namely Contrastive Analysis, Error Analysis and Translation Studies, are approached. The paper comments on the methodology followed to achieve their purposes, the direction of the research and the applications pursued, all of them being interdependent. This study also attempts at showing how the three areas of research contribute to the development of the field of cross-linguistic research by resorting to a common methodology, which makes them compatible with one another, even though their goals may be different....

Interpolated Linguistic Terms
- Joo Paulo,Carvalho Jos,A. B. Tom
This paper introduces and provides a formal definition for ILT
(including the most recent developments), and suggests future
ILT application in areas that could profit from their properties.
II. INTERPOLATED LINGUISTIC TERMS (ILT)
Before presenting a formal definition of an Interpolated
Linguistic Term, we need to introduce some terminology used
in this paper (see Fig. 2), and a set of restrictions that are
necessary to implement ILTs

Linguistic Marking of Physical Giveness
- Mira Ariel
this paper will
mean an expression which is said to prototypically refer to the speech situation. Whether a gesture accompanies
it or not is determined by a variety of considerations, degree of accessibility as discussed below, being
one of them.
of classifying under one concept (deixis) a heterogenous set of markings. The fact that
linguistic communication makes crucial use of various aspects of the speech situation
does not automatically imply that such uses are LINGUISTICALLY UNIFORM, or
even DISTINCT from other contextual retrievals. In other words, I suggest linguists
should always set out from a LINGUISTIC expression and examine its use, rather than
proceed from some use we assume...

Representing and Integrating Linguistic Knowledge
- Daniel Jurafsky
This paper describes a theory of the representation
and use of linguistic knowledge in a natural language
understanding system. The representation system
draws much of its insight from the linguistic theory
of Filhnore c! al. (1988). This models knowledge
of language as a large collection of #rammatical
cons!rue!ions, each a description of a linguistic
regularity. I describe a representation language for
constructions, and principles for encoding linguistic
knowledge in this representation. The second part of
the theory is a conceptnal analyzer which is designed
to model the on-line nature of the human language
understanding mechanism. I discuss the core of this
analyzer, an intern'ration-combining operation called
inle#ralion which combines constructions to produce
complete interpretations of...

Learning Linguistic Context for Linguistic Oriented Fuzzy Control
- Radim Blohlvek,Vilm Novk
The role of linguistic context in the linguistic oriented
fuzzy control is emphasized and methods for
learning of the linguistic context are presented. The
linguistic context of the independent variable is determined
automatically whereas the linguistic context of
the dependent variable is interpolated from known values.
1. Introduction
The role of fuzzy controllers is nowadays well acknowledged.
Fuzzy controllers excel especially in situations
where no exact mathematical description of the
controlled process exists and, therefore, classical control
tools cannot be applied. In situations like these, at
least a rough linguistic description of the appropriate
control can usually be obtained. Experienced engineers
can get such a description from human experts. An expert
stores his knowledge of...

Raising Literacy Standards: An Evaluation of the Linguistic Phonics Approach
- Gray, Colette; Behan, Sarah; Dunbar, Carol; Dunn, Jill; Ferguson, James; Mitchell, Denise
This study sought to evaluate the impact of the Linguistic Phonics approach on primary pupils reading and writing performance and on post-primary pupils reading, writing and spelling performance. Quantitative (standardised psychometric tests, a writing frame and questionnaire surveys) and qualitative (one to one, small group interviews and focus group discussions) research tools were utilized in this study. Employing a quasi-experimental design, each of the six primary and five post-primary schools involved in the Linguistic Phonics pilot (LPA) was matched, using a range of socio-demographic indicators, with a school not using this approach (nLPA). In total 916 pupils from 22 schools...

An Algebra of Linguistic Truth-Values Southeast Asian Bulletin of
- Esfandiar Eslami
Abstract. In this paper we introduce an algebra whose ground set is a denumerable set of linguistic truth-values. On this set we define some appropriate operators corresponding to each logical connective of a given propositional language. This algebra will play a role of semantics for the given propositional logic. We investigate the properties of this algebra and the related operators and show that it is a residuated algebra of truth values which is suitable for approximate reasoning.

Linguistic and social capitals: U.S. immigrant limited English proficient high school students' use of English as a second language and social interactivity
- Kim, Ye-Kyoung
This study investigates the effectiveness of teaching U.S. immigrant Limited English Proficient (LEP) students in one district in Ohio. It studies the educational programs and instructional approaches related to linguistic development and academic achievement of LEP students. The study hypothesizes the effect of programmatic, interceptive social interactions both at an instructional and peer level in a school setting on the LEP students’ learning, strategies, engagement, behaviors, motivation, and attitudes during their transition into the mainstream classroom and into society. The data help to understand the learning conditions, characteristics, and outcomes of the U.S. immigrant LEP students who entered one school...

Indexing of Linguistic Knowledge
- Kiril Iv. Simov,Paul John King
this paper reports) is the classification of words according to their inflectional
paradigms. The benefits of such a classification for natural language processing are apparent even for
a language, such as English, with a relatively simple inflectional system. When one considers a more
inflectionally complex language, such as German or Bulgarian, in which inflection is a ubiquitous and
indispensable part of syntactic processing, the paradigmatic classification of words is a sine qua non of
any successful natural language processing system.
We take a classificatory system to comprise (i) a classification, a collection of classes into which
linguistic objects can be put, and (ii) an index, a mechanism...

Evaluating Web Document Quality with Linguistic Variables: Combining Informative and Page Design Quality
- Elena Garcia; Miguel-Angel Sicilia; Tomasa Calvo
The concept of Web document quality is multidimensional and di#cult to characterize. For assessment purposes, it can be separated in two main concerns: content or informative quality and design quality, being the latter essentially connected to the concept of Web usability. In addition, usability assessment is usually obtained from linguistic judgements, vague guidelines or uncertain indicators, which points out the suitability of a linguistic assessment framework. In this paper, a definition for such linguistic framework is described, along with an exploration of the possible approaches to combine linguistic usability assessments with content-quality judgements. Keywords: Usability Analysis, Fuzzy Set Theory, Web...

A definição como recurso linguístico e sua relação com a formação de conceitos científicos no ensino fundamental
- Vania Morales Rowell
O presente trabalho tem por objetivo examinar teórica e metodologicamente a relação existente entre a definição, como texto/discurso, e o processo de formação de conceitos científicos, mais especificamente no que diz respeito ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem das quatro séries finais do Ensino Fundamental. Vislumbro a possibilidade de que a definição constitua-se, por um lado, eficaz instrumento de avaliação dos conceitos científicos formados ao longo dessas séries e, por outro, elemento didática e cognitivamente mediador na formação de novos conceitos científicos em todas as disciplinas que compõem o currículo do referido nível de ensino

Compositional Semantics for Linguistic Formalisms
- Shuly Wintrier
Iu what sense is a grammar the union of its
rules? This paper adapts the notion of composition,
well developed in the context of programming
languages, to the domain of linguistic
ibrmalisms. We study alternative definitions
tbr the semantics of such formalisms, suggest-
ing a denotational semantics that we show to
be compositional and fully-abstract. This facilitates
a clear, mathematically sound way for
defining grammar modularity.

Towards a Linguistic Probability Theory
- Joe Halliwell,Qiang Shen
The term "fuzzy probability" was first introduced in the 1970s but has since come to describe two distinct concepts which have been somewhat confused in the literature of the field. The first of these views fuzziness in probabilities as induced by fuzziness in the definition of events of interest whereas the second uses fuzziness in probabilities as a way of modelling vagueness in subjective linguistic probability assignments. Various psychometric studies examining the utility of this latter approach are discussed in detail and the difference between the two concepts of "fuzzy probability" examined is marked by relabelling the second "linguistic probability"....
