The central processing hypothesis (Geva & Siegel,2000) is similar to Cummins’s theory but argues that correlations between cognitive-linguistic skills such as PA, PWM and automaticity do not automatically indicate that L1 skills ‘transfer’ to the L2. Rather, the cognitive processes underlying t...
What, if anything, are the contents and meanings of sentences? And what is the information carried by a natural language utterance? We will deal with the first two of these in the remainder of this section. The last question — which is the central question of this chapter — will be ...
SD included40,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51. One important assumption common to these computational accounts is that the meaning of words and symbols is localised to the ATL “hub” area. In such
it most closely resembles. A short word, lasting 0.5 sec, can then be thought of as a sequence of 50 characteristic forms. In symbolic representation, a particular short vocal utterance can be described as a ~50-letter word, where each letter is taken from an alphabet of ~100 symbols. ...
So you’re ready to save the world with the power of natural language processing? Well the first thing you need is a powerful vocabulary. This chapter will help you split a document, any string, into discrete tokens of meaning. Our tokens are limited to words, punctuation marks, and ...
Macroscopic properties characterize the global organization, mesoscopic properties describe the subsets of nodes and word meanings, and microscopic properties focus on the connections of a single node to the rest of the network15. With this approach, we can investigate multiple levels of mental lexicon...
Recent approaches inspired by neuro-science suggest that the storage and processing of word meanings is supported by neural systems subserving both the representation of conceptual knowledge and its access and use (Lambon Ralph et al., Nature Reviews Neuroscience 18:42–55, 2017). Developmental ...
Word sense disambiguation (WSD) deals with relating the occurrence of a word in a text to a specific meaning, which is distinguishable from other meanings that can potentially be related to that same word [1]. WSD is essentially a classification problem: given an input text and a set of se...
For example, the invention could be applied to ideographic symbols or symbols of any other kind, individually or in strings. It could also be applied to strings of words, including phrases and clauses. FIG. 1 illustrates an associating device according to the invention which provides synonyms ...
in algebra and mathematical logic, an expression—that is, an arbitrary finite (possibly empty) sequence of letters, or symbols, that make up the alphabet of a given logico-mathematical calculus. Sometimes the term “word” is used in a narrower sense as a synonym for the term “formula”—...
