Nondeterministic Syntactic Complexity [PDF]
Foundations of Software Science and Computation Structures24th International Conference, 2021 AbstractWe introduce a new measure on regular languages: theirnondeterministic syntactic complexity. It is the least degree of any extension of the ‘canonical boolean representation’ of the syntactic monoid. Equivalently, it is the least number of states of anysubatomicnondeterministic acceptor.

Syntactic complexity in translated and non-translated texts: A corpus-based study of simplification. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 This study approaches the investigation of the simplification hypotheses in corpus-based translation studies from a syntactic complexity perspective. The research is based on two comparable corpora, the English monolingual part of COCE (Corpus of Chinese-

Syntactic complexity and diversity of spontaneous speech production in schizophrenia spectrum and major depressive disorders. [PDF]
Schizophrenia (Heidelb), 2023 Syntax, the grammatical structure of sentences, is a fundamental aspect of language. It remains debated whether reduced syntactic complexity is unique to schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SSD) or whether it is also present in major depressive disorder ...

The effects of genre on the syntactic complexity of argumentative and expository writing by Chinese EFL learners. [PDF]
Front Psychol, 2022 Genre researchers have found that writing in different genres involves different cognitive task loads and requires different linguistic demands. Generally speaking, narratives involve the description of events with a focus on people and their actions ...

Marked distinctions in syntactic complexity: A case of second language university learners’ and native speakers’ syntactic constructions [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Existing research on syntactic complexity tends to examine diversity and complexity embedded in grammatical employments which may well be witnessed in formulations of different syntactic structures.

Enhancing Syntactic Complexity in L2 Chinese Writing: Effects of Form-Focused Instruction on the Chinese Topic Chain [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Syntactic complexity, as one aspect of the Complexity, Accuracy and Fluency (CAF) model, is integral to the writing ability of second language (L2) learners.

Supramodal Sentence Processing in the Human Brain: fMRI Evidence for the Influence of Syntactic Complexity in More Than 200 Participants. [PDF]
Neurobiol Lang (Camb), 2022 This study investigated two questions. One is to which degree sentence processing beyond single words is independent of the input modality (speech vs. reading).

A corpus-based comparison of syntactic complexity in academic writing of L1 and L2 English students across years and disciplines. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Syntactic complexity, widely acknowledged as a key predictor of writing quality, has gained increasing attention in the realm of academic writing. A notable line of inquiry has centered on the factors that potentially influence syntactic complexity in ...

Capitalization interacts with syntactic complexity. [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020 We investigated whether readers use the low-level cue of proper noun capitalization in the parafovea to infer syntactic category, and whether this results in an early update of the representation of a sentence's syntactic structure. Participants read sentences containing either a subject relative or object relative clause, in which the relative clause ...

Syntactic complexity in Japanese dialects
International Journal of Mathematics and Statistics Studies, 2022 This study attempted the clustering of Japanese dialects at a syntactic level in light of dependency grammar. it is Kagoshima, a southwestern area of Japan, that bears the longest mean dependency distance (1.7851) and Akita of the north-eastern prefecture that shows the shortest mean dependency distance (1.1805).
