Homonyms and context in signalling game with reinforcement learning. [PDF]
Using multi-agent signalling game with reinforcement learning, we examine the influence of context on the dynamics of homonyms. In our approach, context denotes additional information sent to the receiver, which helps to recognise the signal.

The time course of semantic ambiguity in visual word recognition: behavioral and ERP evidence for the lexical-semantic effect [PDF]
IntroductionHomonyms are words with multiple, unrelated meanings that share a single form and pronunciation. These words provide valuable insights into how semantic representation is retrieved and selected independently of orthography and phonology. This

Lexical inference training for homonyms: Two randomized controlled trials for children with English as a first and an additional language. [PDF]
Abstract Background Many words have multiple meanings, which present challenges to learning, yet research has yet to identify effective interventions for homonyms. Lexical inference may be a promising strategy. Aim To evaluate a brief, novel lexical inference intervention for homonyms. Samples Children aged 7–8 years (Study 1: N = 180, Study 2: N = 76).

How do I publish the name of a new species of algae? A basic guide. [PDF]
Abstract A basic guide to the requirements of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants for the publication of a valid name of new species (and infraspecific taxa) of living algae is provided. It is intended to aid phycologists so that an accurate inventory of the world's algal diversity is achieved.
