Language change for the worse [PDF]

Many theories hold that language change, at least on a local level, is driven by a need for improvement. The present volume explores to what extent this assumption holds true, and whether there is a particular type of language change that we dub language

Third language acquisition: Age, proficiency and multilingualism [PDF]

, 2020
This book deals with the phenomenon of third language (L3) acquisition. As a research field, L3 acquisition is established as a branch of multilingualism that is concerned with how multilinguals learn additional languages and the role that their ...

Grammatical systems without language borders: Lessons from free-range language

, 2023
Current research in grammatical analysis and sociolinguistics points to two core characteristics of language that seem incommensurable at first sight: (1) research on linguistic structure indicates internal organisation and coherence, and the workings ...

Ambiguity Hierarchy of Regular Infinite Tree Languages [PDF]

Logical Methods in Computer Science, 2021
An automaton is unambiguous if for every input it has at most one accepting computation. An automaton is k-ambiguous (for k > 0) if for every input it has at most k accepting computations. An automaton is boundedly ambiguous if it is k-ambiguous for some

Lesions impairing regular versus irregular past tense production [PDF]

, 2013
We investigated selective impairments in the production of regular and irregular past tense by examining language performance and lesion sites in a sample of twelve stroke patients.

On the Boundary of Regular Languages

Theoretical Computer Science, 2013
This paper considers the computation of the boundary of a regular language, defined as the intersection of the Kleene star of this language with the Kleene star of its complement. The precise state complexity of the boundary of a regular language is found.

Computation of distances for regular and context-free probabilistic languages [PDF]

, 2008
Several mathematical distances between probabilistic languages have been investigated in the literature, motivated by applications in language modeling, computational biology, syntactic pattern matching and machine learning.

Processing of regular and irregular past tense morphology in highly proficient second language learners of English: a self-paced reading study [PDF]

, 2013
Dual-system models suggest that English past tense morphology involves two processing routes: rule application for regular verbs and memory retrieval for irregular verbs (Pinker, 1999).

Regular language quantum states [PDF]

Quantum
We introduce regular language states, a family of quantum many-body states. They are built from a special class of formal languages, called regular, which has been thoroughly studied in the field of computer science.
