Argument structure frames: A lexical complexity metric?

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 1991
The number of semantic argument structure frames associated with a verb has been reported to influence ease of processing during language comprehension. The present experiments tested the generality of the argument structure complexity effect with three dependent measures: eye-fixation times, naming latencies, and lexical decision latencies.

Australian Activists as Storytellers in Digital Spaces: Acquiring Skills, Producing Content and Getting the Message Out

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As modes of activism rapidly evolve, activists—both seasoned and emerging—must increasingly navigate a hybrid terrain of both digital and non‐digital engagement. This paper draws on the personal narratives of 16 nascent activists based in Australia to explore how they develop competencies related to digital storytelling, which is critical to ...

Relationship between language features extracted through NLP and clinically diagnosed Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment in Slovak

Alzheimer’s & Dementia: Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease Monitoring
BACKGROUND Dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease (AD), affects language, especially lexical‐semantic processing. Discourse analysis using NLP methods can aid early detection, but research in inflectional languages like Slovak is limited.

Cognitively Complex Tasks and Individual Differences: Two Influential Factors in Iranian EFL Learners’ Written Text Quality [PDF]

Journal of English Language Teaching and Learning, 2019
Robinson’s Cognition Hypothesis and Skehan’s Limited Attentional Capacity Model provide the major impetus for this study. The present article reports the findings of a between-subject factorial experimental research study which explored 1) the effects of

A critical reappraisal of the carotid sinus and carotid bulb: Distinguishing neurohistological function from vascular geometry

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
This review redefines the carotid bulb (CB) as a variable geometric dilation shaped by hemodynamics and the carotid sinus (CS) as a conserved neurohistological baroreceptor field. Distinguishing these entities clarifies a century of anatomical confusion and links geometry, neurohistology, and clinical interpretation within a unified framework ...

Lexical Quantile-Based Text Complexity Measure

Proceedings - Natural Language Processing in a Deep Learning World, 2019
This paper introduces a new approach to estimating the text document complexity. Common readability indices are based on average length of sentences and words. In contrast to these methods, we propose to count the number of rare words occurring abnormally often in the document.

Incremental refinement of relevance rankings: Balancing relevance depth and scope

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Delivering both relevant and topically diverse results is a key challenge in information retrieval (IR). This study introduces a hybrid method that incrementally refines rankings by combining probabilistic topic modeling (latent dirichlet allocation [LDA]) with citation‐based pennant retrieval grounded in Relevance Theory (RT), optimizing for ...

Acquisition of number agreement: Effects of processing demands [PDF]

Journal of Writing Research, 2009
This study aimed to assess the extent to which the acquisition of number agreement in written French is influenced by the cognitive cost of processing demands associated with (a) the handwriting activity itself, (b) the lexical spelling complexity of the

Irony Comprehension in Monolingual and Bilingual Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examined verbal irony comprehension in monolingual and bilingual autistic children, focusing on irony recognition, intention understanding, cue use while deciphering ironic meanings, and error patterns. A low‐verbal, multimodal task was used to minimize linguistic and metalinguistic demands.

Effects of Task Complexity on Chinese EFL Learners’ Language Production in Synchronous Computer-Mediated Communication

SAGE Open
The pervasive use of synchronous computer-mediated communication (SCMC) in second language (L2) learning has generated increasing interest among researchers in integrating SCMC with task-based language teaching (TBLT).
