ACADEMICIA an International Multidisciplinary Research Journal, 2021AbstractPresent Day linguistics is rich in tendencies and schools. Formation and development of the anthropological paradigm and its leading position promised much to explain the problems related to how languages change, why do the languages change, what are the main causes of language changes, what is the role of internal and extralinguistic factors ...

Maltese and North African linguistics: Common roots and areal divergence
2020The closest relatives of Maltese today are North African Arabic varieties. The tendency to focus on synchronic structure in both contexts has allowed deeper insights into their respective grammars, but makes it easy to neglect the usefulness of North African data for the analysis of Maltese.

Linguistic stability and divergence
2014In contrast to the amount of research that has been performed on linguistic convergence in language contact, this paper focuses on the possibility of linguistic systems remaining stable, or even diverging, in language contact settings. It carves out multiple relevant mechanisms and factors that influence linguistic stability and divergence (e.g ...

Rethinking Kullback-Leibler Divergence in Knowledge Distillation for Large Language Models
International Conference on Computational LinguisticsKullback-Leiber divergence has been widely used in Knowledge Distillation (KD) to compress Large Language Models (LLMs). Contrary to prior assertions that reverse Kullback-Leibler (RKL) divergence is mode-seeking and thus preferable over the mean-seeking

A Computational Approach to Measuring the Semantic Divergence of Cognates
Conference on Intelligent Text Processing and Computational Linguistics, 2020Meaning is the foundation stone of intercultural communication. Languages are continuously changing, and words shift their meanings for various reasons. Semantic divergence in related languages is a key concern of historical linguistics. In this paper we
