Abstract:

This study investigates how seven Chinese sentence-final particles (SFP le, ne1, ma, ne2, ba1, ba2 and a; hereafter SFP) and their features are represented in English speakers’ L2 Chinese. In this research, SFPs are analysed as heads instantiating different positions in the CP domain (Paul 2009, 2014, 2015), which are head-final, and in particular, they are considered to carry semantic, syntactic and discourse features. As there is no SFP in English, the features on Chinese SFPs are realised by a variety of syntactic means. Through a proficiency test and six experimental tasks, data from 76 pa

Abstract:

This paper shows that criminality causes a significant decrease in the earning potential of individuals. In addition, there is evidence to support that criminality has the same negative effect on earnings regardless of type of sentencing, whether probation or incarceration. Previous studies indicate that ex-convicts do not benefit from in-prison based programs. The purpose of this paper is to identify the short-term earning differentials between offenders and their law-abiding counter parts and offer insight as to how this can affect recidivism. Research shows that recidivists suffer the large

Abstract:

I begin by reviewing the sentence processing field and assessing the legacy of generative grammar and its associated view of the mind on proposed mechanisms of language processing. I argue that this legacy prevents many models of processing from being able to account, in principle, for recent findings within the field. A model of processing is proposed which combined insights from Cognitive Grammar and constraint-based parsing, including the principle of parsing as categorisation proposed by Langacker (2000). This model, the categorising, constraint-based parser, is tested alongside parsing mo

Abstract:

In this thesis we develop models for sentence compression. This text rewriting task has recently attracted a lot of attention due to its relevance for applications (e.g., summarisation) and simple formulation by means of word deletion. Previous models for sentence compression have been inherently local and thus fail to capture the long range dependencies and complex interactions involved in text rewriting. We present a solution by framing the task as an optimisation problem with local and global constraints and recast existing compression models into this framework. Using the constraints we in

Children are negatively affected by parental incarceration, and peoples’ discretion in sentencing determines for how long parents are taken away from their children. Although federal laws explicitly state that people should not consider family responsibilities and defendant gender when sentencing, psychological theory and research suggests that people might be sensitive to defendants’ gender and the age of their children. The novel question is whether child age influences sentencing decisions. To test these effects, the age of the defendant’s child and defendant gender were manipulated in two

This thesis examines the debate about cultural relativism of human rights in the concrete context of the prohibition of torture, inhuman and degrading treatment as applied to criminal sentences. A study of the jurisprudence concerning the prohibition reveals that traditional legal methodology is unable to decide this debate unequivocally. It is argued that both an extreme uniformity in its interpretation as well as a complete lack of common standards are indefensible in the contemporary system of international law. Therefore, any modern interpretation of the prohibition has to strike a balance

This thesis presents an account of some of the mental mechanisms and processes that take the addressee from a linguistic input to the interpretation of that input. Because on-line interpretation involves our knowledge of language, the relation between input processing and grammar is evaluated. The full interpretation of a linguistic input also involves pragmatic, i.e. central cognitive processes, but these processes are the least well understood within psycholinguistics. Relevance theory (Sperber & Wilson, 1986) gives us a way of making our understanding of these processes more explicit. Howev

Abstract:

Many applications of neural linguistic models rely on their use as pre-trained features for downstream tasks such as dialog modeling, machine translation, and question answering. This work presents an alternate paradigm: Rather than treating linguistic embeddings as input features, we treat them as common sense knowledge repositories that can be queried using simple mathematical operations within the embedding space, without the need for additional training. Because current state-of-the-art embedding models were not optimized for this purpose, this work presents a novel embedding model designe

Abstract:

Students with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) struggle with writing. Writing is an important skill for everyday life; therefore, it is essential that students with ID receive effective writing instruction. Explicit writing instruction adhering to the Strategic Instruction Model (SIM) has shown to be an effective writing strategy for postsecondary students with ID. However, the impact of simple sentence writing instruction has not been studied for this population. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of part I of the Proficiency in Sentence Writing Strategy (Sheldon &

Abstract:

Metaphors are an important literary figure that is found in books or and daily use. Nowadays it is an essential task for Natural Language Processing (NLP), but the dependence of the context and the lack corpus in other languages make it a bottleneck for some tasks such as translation or interpretation of texts. We present a classification model using recurrent neural networks for metaphor identification in Spanish sentences. We tested our model and his variants on a new corpus in Spanish and compared it with the current baseline using an English corpus. Our best model reports an F-sco
