Linking Attention Deficits to Difficulties in the Comprehension of Complex Syntax in Dyslexia
ABSTRACT Recent research suggests that dyslexia involves not only reading difficulties but also deficits in working memory, attention, language, and information processing. This study examined the role of auditory attention in the comprehension of syntactically complex sentences in children with dyslexia.

ABSTRACT The sensory‐neural temporal sampling (TS) theory of language acquisition emphasizes the role of individual differences in speech rhythm processing. According to this theory, neural oscillations track loudness or amplitude modulation (AM) patterns—rhythmic fluctuations in speech intensity or energy—across multiple timescales.

State of the Field: The History of Masculinities
Abstract This State of the Field article discusses how, when and why the history of masculinities has emerged since the 1980s, and why it continues to be an important research field today. The article begins with the field's multiple origin stories and then discusses its expansion in chronology, geography and theme, as well as newer directions for ...

Abstract Language comprehension unfolds incrementally, requiring listeners to continually predict and revise interpretations. Comprehenders across very diverse languages show a consistent preference for agents, anticipating the agent (“the doer” of an action) more strongly than the patient (“the undergoer”). An unresolved question is how the preference

The Shallow Structure Hypothesis and Sentence Processing in a Second Language
ABSTRACT The Shallow Structure Hypothesis (SSH) has been highly influential in the study of adult second language (L2) acquisition. With respect to L2 sentence processing, the essential claim is that L2 speakers rely less on syntactic information and more on alternative sources of information (e.g., lexical semantics and discourse) than adult first ...

A grammar formalism based upon CHR is proposed analogously to the way Definite Clause Grammars are defined and implemented on top of Prolog. These grammars execute as robust bottom-up parsers with an inherent treatment of ambiguity and a high flexibility

Background Accurate sales forecasting is a key factor in effective business management, especially under conditions of increasing competition and the rapid development of e‐commerce. Sales time series are often characterized by trends, seasonality, and random fluctuations, which complicates the selection of an appropriate forecasting method. Therefore,

Three New Probabilistic Models for Dependency Parsing: An Exploration
After presenting a novel O(n^3) parsing algorithm for dependency grammar, we develop three contrasting ways to stochasticize it. We propose (a) a lexical affinity model where words struggle to modify each other, (b) a sense tagging model where words ...
