Movement in Syntactic Edges and Cyclic Linearization Approache : Evidence from Scrambling in Kalhuri Kurdish [PDF]
Movement is one of the basic properties of human languages. Studying and accounting different movements is one of the main concerns in generative linguistics. One of the movements which attracts the interest of many linguists is Scrambling. Scrambling is

Contextual Graph Attention Network for Aspect-Level Sentiment Classification
Aspect-level sentiment classification aims to predict the sentiment polarities towards the target aspects given in sentences. To address the issues of insufficient semantic information extraction and high computational complexity of attention mechanisms ...

Syntax-guided Localized Self-attention by Constituency Syntactic Distance
Recent works have revealed that Transformers are implicitly learning the syntactic information in its lower layers from data, albeit is highly dependent on the quality and scale of the training data. However, learning syntactic information from data is not necessary if we can leverage an external syntactic parser, which provides better parsing quality ...

Neural mechanisms of anaphoric reference revealed by fMRI
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 ...

Dynamic Syntax and dialogue modelling: preliminaries for a dialogue-driven account of syntactic change [PDF]
This paper sets out an account of grammaticalization in the framework of Dynamic Syntax (DS) in which the emergence of object clitics in Medieval Spanish and the change in their syntactic positioning in Renaissance Spanish are shown to be driven by ...

The Effect of Distance on Sentence Processing by Older Adults
In sentences with long-distance dependency relations (“The man whom the police arrested is thin”), there are two kinds of distance between the gap (object position of arrested) and the filler man: linear (the intervening words in linear order), and ...

Recent Advances in Research on Island Phenomena
In natural languages, syntactic elements can, in principle, be linked across an unbounded distance, as exemplified by filler-gap dependencies (also known as extractions or movement operations) [...]

An fMRI study on the processing of long-distance wh-movement in a second language
Recent behavioural evidence from second language (L2) learners has suggested native-like processing of syntactic structures, such as long-distance wh-dependencies in L2. The underlying processes are still largely debated, while the available neuroimaging

IDCN: A Novel Interactive Dual Channel Network for Aspect Sentiment Triplet Extraction
Aspect sentiment triplet extraction (ASTE) is one of the important subtasks of aspect-based sentiment analysis, it aims at detecting the aspect terms, opinion terms, and the corresponding sentiment polarity, simultaneously.
