MARKEDNESS AND THE CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS HYPOTHESIS

Language Learning, 1977
The purpose of this paper is to propose that the Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis (CAH) should be revised to incorporate a notion of degree of difficulty. This notion corresponds to typological markedness which can be determined independently of any particular language and independently of the facts concerning second language acquisition.

RELATIVE CLAUSES, THE ACCESSIBILITY HIERARCHY AND THE CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS HYPOTHESIS

IRAL - International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching, 1995
Le but de cet article est d'evaluer trois propositions formulees a propos des relatives. Pour ce faire, un test a ete effectue aupres d'etudiants neerlandais en anglais venant d'assister a un cours sur les relatives. Les resultats montrent qu'il est plus difficile de relativiser des constituants dans une principale que dans une ...

Inconsistent Probability Estimates of a Hypothesis

Experimental Psychology, 2005
Abstract. This paper studies consistency in the judged probability of a target hypothesis in lists of mutually exclusive nonexhaustive hypotheses. Specifically, it controls the role played by the support of displayed competing hypotheses and the relatedness between the target hypothesis and its alternatives. Three experiments are reported.

Contrasting Multi-Source Temporal Knowledge Graphs for Biomedical Hypothesis Generation

IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
Hypothesis Generation (HG) aims to expedite biomedical researches by generating novel hypotheses from existing scientific literature. Most existing studies focused on modeling static snapshots of the corpus, neglecting the temporal evolution of scientific terms.

Field-ion image contrast: the gas distribution hypothesis re-examined

Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 1978
A correction is reported to the gas concentration ratios calculated by Forbes some years ago, in connection with the gas distribution explanation of field-ion image contrast, and the explanation itself is re-examined in the light of subsequent experimental evidence.

The Westermarck Hypothesis and the Israeli Kibbutzim: Reconciling Contrasting Evidence

Archives of Sexual Behavior, 2015
The case of the communal education system in the Israeli kibbutzim is often considered to provide conclusive support for Westermarck's (1891) assertion regarding the existence of evolutionary inbreeding avoidance mechanisms in humans. However, recent studies that have gone back to the kibbutzim seem to provide contrasting evidence and reopen the ...

Contrast discrimination: A model and a hypothesis concerning the role of cholinergic modulation in contrast perception

Visual Neuroscience, 1996
AbstractA model of contrast discrimination performance in human observers is developed and then extended to cover effects on performance of anticholinergic drugs. It is shown that it is necessary to assume that neural noise increases at high spatial frequencies in order to provide a satisfactory model of variations in discrimination performance with ...

An Overview of Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis

2015
Abstract. Contrastive analysis of hypothesis also called CA is the comparison of the linguistic system of two or more languages and it is based on the main difficulties in learning a new language that caused by interference from the first language. Teaching materials can make use of contrastive analysis and the difficulties between the two languages ...

Monocular implementation of contrast negation hypothesis

1998
A new neural network for lightness perception is proposed. Network is based on a interaction between boundary computation and surface reconstruction. Boundary computation is implemented using excitatory recurrent network with presynaptic inhibition which differentiate boundaries with different contrast values.
