Dissociating Effects of Scrambling and Topicalization Within the Left Frontal and Temporal Language Areas: An fMRI Study in Kaqchikel Maya [PDF]
Some natural languages grammatically allow different types of changing word orders, such as object scrambling and topicalization. Scrambling and topicalization are more related to syntax and semantics/phonology, respectively.

Syntactic structures in motion: investigating word order variations in verb-final (Korean) and verb-initial (Tongan) languages. [PDF]
This study explored sentence processing in two typologically distinct languages: Korean, a verb-final language, and Tongan, a verb-initial language. The first experiment revealed that in Korean, sentences arranged in the scrambled OSV (Object, Subject ...

Contrasting contrastive-topicalization strategies [PDF]
This paper offers a comparison and preliminary analysis of ‘topicalization’ strategies in German, Basque, and English. I argue that Basque and English topics at the left periphery are dislocated elements resumed by pronominal correlates, a configuration

Greek Topicalization: How do properties move?
This paper argues that Greek topicalization is an A’-movement dependency which is headed by a property-denoting phrase (i.e., of type <e,t>), dislocated to a left peripheral topic position (spec,TopicP). Crucially, at the syntax-semantics interface,

Topic Models with Topic Ordering Regularities for Topic Segmentation [PDF]
Documents from the same domain usually discuss similar topics in a similar order. In this paper we present new ordering-based topic models that use generalised Mallows models to capture this regularity to constrain topic assignments. Specifically, these new models assume that there is a canonical topic ordering shared amongst documents from the same ...

Evaluating Formal Analysis Results on the basis of Typological Facts of the Language [PDF]
Linguistic research carried out in formal theoretical frameworks, such as Generative Approaches, often show high degree of falsifiability due to their precise data observations and mathematical foundations.

Mapping topics and topic bursts in PNAS [PDF]
Scientific research is highly dynamic. New areas of science continually evolve; others gain or lose importance, merge, or split. Due to the steady increase in the number of scientific publications, it is hard to keep an overview of the structure and dynamic development of one's own field of science, much less all scientific domains.
