The effect of gender agreement mismatches on intersentential anaphoric pronouns
Cadernos de Estudos Linguísticos, 2021 This article focuses on the effect of gender agreement mismatches between personal pronouns and their antecedents across sentences. In two acceptability experiments, we test whether acceptability of gender agreement violations on animated nouns may be modulated by grammatical and contextual features of the antecedents of personal pronouns. In the first

Miscelánea: A Journal of English and American Studies, 1996 This paper explores the role of intersentential connectives in complex narrative discourse so as to investigate the applicability of recent findings in the literature to more complex data than that usually found in theoretical studies of the phenomenon. For this purpose the function of connectives in Katherine Mansfield’s short story “The Garden Party”

Intersentential coreference expectations reflect mental models of events [PDF]
Cognition, 2017 Comprehenders’ perception of the world is mediated by the mental models they construct. During discourse processing, incoming information allows comprehenders to update their model of the events being described. At the same time, comprehenders use these models to generate expectations about who or what will be mentioned next.

Building a Discourse-Argument Hybrid System for Vietnamese Why-Question Answering. [PDF]
Comput Intell Neurosci, 2021 Recently, many deep learning models have archived high results in question answering task with overall F1 scores above 0.88 on SQuAD datasets. However, many of these models have quite low F1 scores on why‐questions. These F1 scores range from 0.57 to 0.7 on SQuAD v1.1 development set.

A pragmatics-based approach to understanding intersentential ellipsis [PDF]
Proceedings of the 23rd annual meeting on Association for Computational Linguistics -, 1985 Intersentential elliptical utterances occur frequently in information-seeking dialogues. This paper presents a pragmatics-based framework for interpreting such utterances, including identification of the speaker's discourse goal in employing the fragment. We claim that the advantage of this approach is its reliance upon pragmatic information, including

Learning in dos idiomas: The impact of codeswitching on children's noun and verb learning. [PDF]
Infant Child DevABSTRACT Codeswitching is a common feature of bilingual language practices, yet its impact on word learning is poorly understood. Critically, processing costs associated with codeswitching may extend to learning. Moreover, verbs tend to be more difficult to learn than nouns, and the challenges of learning verbs could compound with processing costs ...

Comput Intell Neurosci, 2022 The extractive summarization approach involves selecting the source document’s salient sentences to build a summary. One of the most important aspects of extractive summarization is learning and modelling cross‐sentence associations. Inspired by the popularity of Transformer‐based Bidirectional Encoder Representations (BERT) pretrained linguistic model
