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.

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.

Syntactic Complexity Development in CSL Writing: A Perspective from Dynamic Systems Theory [PDF]
Behavioral SciencesSyntactic complexity is a crucial aspect of assessing writing quality in Chinese as a second language. While existing literature predominantly focuses on synchronic features of syntactic complexity, particularly changes in complexity indices, less ...

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-

Expressive writing in a Saudi university English foreign language (EFL) classroom: Evaluating gains in syntactic complexity [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
F1000Research, 2022 Background: This study determines if the English foreign language (EFL) Saudi students achieve greater syntactic complexity when they engage in expressive writing than when they write about a general topic.

Contact at the treetops: syntactic borrowing and syntactic complexity
Dilbilim Araştırmaları DergisiWe examine the function and structure of ki-clauses in Modern Greek dialects of Trabzon (Romeyka), Silli, Cappadocia and Pharasa. We demonstrate that ki, transferred from Turkish, has been integrated into the clausal spine of these dialects in JudgeP ...

Brain structural associations of syntactic complexity and diversity across schizophrenia spectrum and major depressive disorders, and healthy controls [PDF]
SchizophreniaDeviations in syntax production have been well documented in schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD). Recently, we have shown evidence for transdiagnostic subtypes of syntactic complexity and diversity.
