Maternal Depression Affects Infants’ Lexical Processing Abilities in the Second Year of Life
Maternal depression and anxiety have been proposed to increase the risk of adverse outcomes of language development in the early years of life. This study investigated the effects of maternal depression and anxiety on language development using two ...

Claims have been made about the relationship between the degree of lexical variation and the social structure of a sign language community (e.g., population size), but to date there exist no large-scale cross-linguistic comparisons to address these ...

Improvisation with the Lexical Approach
AbstractIn this research, our main purpose is to attempt to promote the speaking strategies of prep students focusing basically on lexical chunks, personalizing communicative competence and amusing feature motivation by improvisation. Teaching vocabulary within a contextualized situation is highly influential compared to current approaches, and ...

Lexical Variation and Change [PDF]
Abstract Distributional semantics embodies the idea that the context in which a word occurs reveals the meaning of that word. In contemporary corpus linguistics, that idea takes shape in various types of quantitative context analysis. This monograph explores how count-based token-level semantic vector spaces, as an advanced form of such ...

Metaheuristic Approaches to Lexical Substitution and Simplification [PDF]
In this paper, we propose using metaheuristics- in particular, simulated annealing and the new D-Bees algorithm-to solve word sense disambiguation as an optimization problem within a knowledge-based lexical substitution system. We are the first to perform such an extrinsic evaluation of metaheuristics, for which we use two standard lexical substitution

Artificial Intelligence as the Next Visionary in Liquid Crystal Research
The functions of AI in the research laboratory are becoming increasingly sophisticated, allowing the entire process of hypothesis formulation, material design, synthesis, experimental design, and reiterative testing to be automated. In our work, we conceive how the incorporation of AI in the laboratory environment will transform the role and ...

A stress‐normalised sensitivity metric (S = G/Y) is introduced as a materials‐level benchmark for intrinsically piezoresistive nanocomposites. By decoupling electromechanical response (G) from stiffness (Y), the framework enables direct comparison across diverse systems and clarifies design trade‐offs for wearable sensors.
