What Children Learn From Adults’ Utterances: An Ephemeral Lexical Boost and Persistent Syntactic Priming in Adult–Child Dialogue [PDF]

Journal of Memory and Language, 2016
We show that children’s syntactic production is immediately affected by individual experiences of structures and verb–structure pairings within a dialogue, but that these effects have different timecourses. In a picture-matching game, three- to four-year-

BOOSTING IN DISSENTING OPINIONS: TYPES AND LEXICAL REALIZATIONS

Voprosy Kognitivnoy Lingvistiki, 2023
The paper explores the role of boosting as a metadiscourse feature used by justices in dissenting opinions to challenge the majority decisions and convince an audience. The aim is to identify the types of boosting and lexical items used for indicating certainty and commitment.

Boosting Lexical Resources for the Semantic Web: Generative Lexicon and Lexicon Interoperability [PDF]

, 2012
To make the vision of a European Information Infrastructure and of the Semantic Web a reality, two key issues are tackled: (i) content, which must be dealt with in a multilingual environment; (ii) standards, which are critical to achieve interoperability and integration.

Syntactic Priming and the Lexical Boost Effect During Sentence Production and Sentence Comprehension: An fMRI Study [PDF]

Brain and Language, 2013
Behavioral syntactic priming effects during sentence comprehension are typically observed only if both the syntactic structure and lexical head are repeated. In contrast, during production syntactic priming occurs with structure repetition alone, but the effect is boosted by repetition of the lexical head.

Analyzing Lexical Boost Effects in Priming of the Passive in Brazilian Portuguese

Caligrama: Revista De Estudos Românicos
The lexical boost effect is an increase in the magnitude of structural priming effects when prime and target verbs are identical. This study investigates the connection of lexical boost to priming effects of the passive construction in Brazilian Portuguese (BP) in an image description task to contribute to the debate about whether lexical boost effects

Leveraging Lexical Common-Sense Knowledge for Boosting Bayesian Modeling

2021
Recent research has shown that, since the ultimate goal of Bayesian perspective is to infer a posterior distribution, it is demonstrably more direct to impose domain knowledge directly on the posterior distribution. This paper presents a model by imposing lexical common-sense knowledge as constraints on the posterior distribution, under the ...

Cognitive load effect on structural priming and lexical boost

2018
Speakers’ memory of sentence structure can persist and modulate the syntactic choices of subsequent utterances (i.e., structural priming). Much research on structural priming posited a multifactorial account by which an implicit learning process and a process related to explicit memory jointly contribute to the priming effect.

Syntactic Priming Persists While the Lexical Boost Decays: Evidence From Written and Spoken Dialogue

Journal of Memory and Language, 2008
Four experiments in written and spoken dialogue tested the predictions of two distinct accounts of syntactic encoding in sentence production: a lexicalist, residual activation account and an implicit-learning account. Experiments 1 and 2 showed syntactic priming (i.e., the tendency to reuse the syntactic structure of a prime sentence in the production ...

Lexical Overlap Increases Syntactic Priming in Aphasia Independently of Short-Term Memory Abilities: Evidence Against the Explicit Memory Account of the Lexical Boost

Journal of Neurolinguistics, 2018
Abstract Speakers show syntactic priming – that is, a tendency to repeat syntactic constructions they have recently comprehended or produced – and this tendency is even stronger when adjacent utterances share the same main verb, termed the lexical boost.

Boosting Variational Generative Model via Condition Enhancing and Lexical-Editing

2019
Conditional Variational Autoencoder (CVAE) has shown promising performance in text generation. However, CVAE is inadequate to generate sentences that are highly coherent to its condition due to error accumulation in decoding and KL-vanishing problem. In this paper, we propose an Edit-CVAE (ECVAE) in which we attempt to exploit information-related data ...
