Taylor’s law for Human Linguistic Sequences [PDF]
Proceedings of the 56th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (Volume 1: Long Papers), 2018 Taylor's law describes the fluctuation characteristics underlying a system in which the variance of an event within a time span grows by a power law with respect to the mean. Although Taylor's law has been applied in many natural and social systems, its application for language has been scarce.

Toward a Connectionist Model of Recursion in Human Linguistic Performance [PDF]
Cognitive Science, 1999 Naturally occurring speech contains only a limited amount of complex recursive structure, and this is reflected in the empirically documented difficulties that people experience when processing such structures. We present a connectionist model of human performance in processing recursive language structures.

Machine-assisted quantitizing designs: augmenting humanities and social sciences with artificial intelligence [PDF]
Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, 2023 The increasing capacities of large language models (LLMs) have been shown to present an unprecedented opportunity to scale up data analytics in the humanities and social sciences, by automating complex qualitative tasks otherwise typically carried out by

Human Linguisticality and the Building Blocks of Languages
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 This paper discusses the widely held idea that the building blocks of languages (features, categories, and architectures) are part of an innate blueprint for Human Language, and notes that if one allows for convergent cultural evolution of grammatical structures, then much of the motivation for it disappears.

Human Linguistic Perception of Distances for Location-Aware Systems [PDF]
International Journal of Mobile Computing and Multimedia Communications, 2019 Location referencing relative to landmarks or between two points of interest is often presented by navigation systems (e.g., GPS, Google Maps) in quantitative terms (e.g., 100m, 2km, etc.). However, humans refer to distances between points of interests in linguistic forms, such as very close, far, almost there, nearby, etc. When location information is

Primate Vocalizations and Human Linguistic Ability [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1968 Some representative vocalizations of captive rhesus monkey, chimpanzee, and gorilla were recorded and analyzed by means of sound spectrograms and oscillograms. It was found that these animals' vocal mechanisms do not appear capable of producing human speech. A uniform-cross-section, schwalike configuration appeared to underlie all the vocalizations. No

Implications of Oxytocin in Human Linguistic Cognition: From Genome to Phenome [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2016 The neurohormone oxytocin (OXT) has been found to mediate the regulation of complex socioemotional cognition in multiple ways both in humans and other animals. Recent studies have investigated the effects of OXT in different levels of analysis (from genetic to behavioral) chiefly targeting its impact on the social component and only indirectly ...
