The acquisition of Determiner Phrase in German child language

, 2000
Many theoretical linguists and acquisition researchers believe that acquisition data can enrich the data basis for linguistic investigations both quantitatively and qualitatively. When concepts of under specification are combined with linguistic analyses of the German Determiner Phrase (DP), they lead to different predictions for DP development.

Acoustic determinants of phrase boundary perception

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1978
How three supersegmental variables (amplitude, pitch contour, and duration pattern) influence phrase boundary perception was investigated in two studies. Listeners located the phrase boundary in ambiguous algebraic expressions, such as ’’(A plus E) times O’’ and ’’A plus (E times O).’’ In one experiment, two values of each of three variables ...

Determining the position of adverbial phrases in English

Proceedings of Human Language Technologies: The 2009 Annual Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics, Companion Volume: Short Papers on - NAACL '09, 2009
In this paper we compare three approaches to adverbial positioning using lexical, syntactic, semantic and sentence-level features. We find that: (a), one- and two-stage classification-based approaches can achieve almost 86% accuracy in determining the absolute position of adverbials; (b) a classifier trained with only syntactic features gives ...

Determining Noun Phrases in Tok Pisin

Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages, 1991
It is well known that since neither the inflectional morphemes nor most of the closed-class items of the lexifier language survive in pidgins, grammatical distinctions are not obligatorily marked. We thus find a large number of unmodified nouns and verbs.

Okanagan Determiner Phrases and Domain Restriction

International Journal of American Linguistics, 2015
The semantics of determiners and determiner phrases (DPs) in Okanagan Salish is largely unknown, and apart from N. Mattina’s (2006) study of Moses-Columbian determiners, there are no other systematic investigations into the semantics of determiners for Southern Interior Salish languages.

Determinants of phrasing effects in rat serial pattern learning

Animal Cognition, 2007
Two experiments investigated how brief pauses introduced into serial patterns as phrasing cues would affect pattern learning in rats. In Experiment 1, a 24-element pattern consisted of eight 3-element chunks, whereas a 20-element pattern consisted of four 5-element chunks.

Deriving Object Relatives in Kiswahili Determiner Phrases

Utafiti, 2020
Abstract Generally one finds there are shortages in the array of technical resources available to penetrate the morphology of Kiswahili and its similarities to, as well as its departures from, morphemic structures in other Bantu languages. The introduction of a new approach employed here is an attempt to contribute to correcting that deficit.
