Semantic accessibility and interference in pronoun resolution

Glossa Psycholinguistics
The general view in syntactic literature is that binding constraints can make antecedents syntactically inaccessible. However, several studies showed that antecedents which are ruled out by syntactic binding constraints still influence online processing ...

Optimizing algorithms for pronoun resolution [PDF]

Proceedings of the 20th international conference on Computational Linguistics - COLING '04, 2004
The paper aims at a deeper understanding of several well-known algorithms and proposes ways to optimize them. It describes and discusses factors and strategies of factor interaction used in the algorithms. The factors used in the algorithms and the algorithms themselves are evaluated on a German corpus annotated with syntactic and coreference ...

The We‐Relationship as a Key to Addressing Dementia‐Related Ambiguous Loss

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pauline Boss describes the challenges faced by people caring for family members with dementia in terms of ambiguous loss – a condition in which the physical presence of the person with dementia coexists with their psychological absence. This article proposes the concept of we‐relationship as a key to addressing dementia‐related ambiguous loss.

Discourse Prominence and Antecedent Mis-Retrieval during Native and Non-Native Pronoun Resolution

Discours, 2022
Previous studies on non-native (L2) anaphor resolution suggest that L2 comprehenders are guided more strongly by discourse-level cues compared to native (L1) comprehenders.

EM works for pronoun anaphora resolution [PDF]

Proceedings of the 12th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics on - EACL '09, 2009
We present an algorithm for pronoun-anaphora (in English) that uses Expectation Maximization (EM) to learn virtually all of its parameters in an unsupervised fashion. While EM frequently fails to find good models for the tasks to which it is set, in this case it works quite well.

Gender and Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN): Evaluating Nigeria's Legislative Framework for Achieving Gender‐Equitable LDN Outcomes

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Legislative frameworks that support gender equality are crucial for addressing structural inequalities, protecting women's rights, and achieving gender‐equitable land degradation neutrality (LDN) outcomes. This study examines the extent to which national‐level policies and legislation governing LDN and related sectors incorporate gender ...

From passion to illegality: Understanding succulent consumers' decision to participate in the illegal online wildlife trade

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The illegal wildlife trade represents a significant threat to biodiversity. Limited research has examined the illegal trade in succulents, plants characterized by their ability to store water in their leaves, stems or roots. The growing popularity of succulents has contributed to the emergence of illicit consumer practices.

Neural mechanisms of anaphoric reference revealed by fMRI

Frontiers in Psychology, 2011
Pronouns are bound to their antecedents by matching syntactic and semantic information. The aim of this functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) study was to localize syntactic and semantic information retrieval and integration during pronoun resolution ...

Managing Competency‐Based Resistance in Video‐Mediated L2 Peer Feedback Sessions

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Though there is growing empirical evidence on managing advice resistance as an institutional work of higher status party with superior epistemic knowledge domain (e.g., trainer) across diverse settings (e.g., supervision meetings), there is still a lack of research on how second language (L2) learners handle peer resistance in real time once ...
