Independent Effects of Age, Education, Verbal Working Memory, Motor Speed of Processing, Locality, and Morphosyntactic Category on Verb‐Related Morphosyntactic Production: Evidence From Healthy Aging

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the role of locality (a task/material‐related variable), demographic factors (age, education, and sex), cognitive capacities (verbal working memory [WM], verbal short‐term memory [STM], speed of processing [SOP], and inhibition), and morphosyntactic category (time reference and grammatical aspect) in verb‐related ...

A Matter of Memory? Age‐Invariant Relative Clause Disambiguation and Memory Interference in Older Adults

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Past research suggests that Working Memory plays a role in determining relative clause attachment bias. Disambiguation preferences may further depend on Processing Speed and explicit memory demands in linguistic tasks. Given that Working Memory and Processing Speed decline with age, older adults offer a way of investigating the factors ...

How Well Can Words Capture Facial Appearance? A Cross‐Linguistic Exploration

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract When describing faces, people often struggle with verbalizing facial features. Free descriptions seem to focus predominantly on aspects of faces that are inferred, for example, psychological traits, age, attractiveness, and so on, whereas facial features themselves are often described in a limited and imprecise fashion.

The Syntax-Prosody Interface in Lexical Functional Grammar

open access: yes, 2015
This thesis develops a new approach to the syntax–prosody interface and establishes the integration of the phonological module into Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG). LFG is a modular grammar theory, which (among other questions) is interested in the relation between form and meaning, i.e., between what is said/perceived and what is intended/understood.

Lexical information from a minimalist point of view

open access: yes, 2009
Simplicity as a methodological orientation applies to linguistic theory just as to any other field of research: ‘Occam’s razor’ is the label for the basic heuristic maxim according to which an adequate analysis must ultimately be reduced to indispensible

Charting New Paths in the Study of Kin Term Acquisition

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Kin terms appear among infants’ earliest words, yet a full mastery of kin concepts typically emerges only in late childhood. This prolonged developmental trajectory reflects not only children's acquisition of an abstract relational system of words, but also their growing understanding of social relationships and interactional norms.

Lexical syntax for statistical machine translation

open access: yes, 2009
Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) is by far the most dominant paradigm of Machine Translation. This can be justified by many reasons, such as accuracy, scalability, computational efficiency and fast adaptation to new languages and domains. However, current approaches of Phrase-based SMT lacks the capabilities of producing more grammatical ...
