Why do children learn nouns such as cup faster than dimensional adjectives big? Most explanations of this phenomenon rely on prior knowledge the noun-adjective distinction or logical priority arguments predicates. In article we examine an alternative account, one which relies instead properties semantic categories to be learned and word-learning task itself. We isolate four properties: The relative size, compactness, degree overlap regions in representational space associated with...
This article examines the implications of connectionist models cognition for second language theory. Connectionism offers a challenge to symbolic which dominate cognitive science. In all knowledge is embodied in network simple processing units joined by connections are strengthened or weakened response regularities input patterns. These avoid brittleness approaches, and they exhibit rule-like behavior without explicit rules. A framework proposed within hypotheses about acquisition can be...
The Universal Morphology (UniMorph) project is a collaborative effort providing broad-coverage instantiated normalized morphological inflection tables for hundreds of diverse world languages. comprises two major thrusts: language-independent feature schema rich annotation and type-level resource annotated data in languages realizing that schema. This paper presents the expansions improvements made on several fronts over last couple years (since McCarthy et al. (2020)). Collaborative efforts...

In light of the increasingly abundant use engineered nanoparticles (NPs) and ongoing exposure to ambient ultrafine particles it is imperative that potential for NPs elicit adverse effects on human health understood.In order determine harm may exert, many different in vitro systems have been used.Commonly nanotoxicology studies NP suspensions applied directly cell cultures.Although monoculture assess on, example, lung frequently debated, suspension exposures not realistic relation humans via...
Profile analysis via multidimensional scaling ( PAMS ) is described. It a technique for studying the most prominent profiles of battery measures in given population. Results are reported 2 well-known test batteries : Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised and General Aptitude Test Battery. For each inventory, found discussed light major used interpretation ofthat inventory. Finally, methodological features approach discussed.
Pulsed-field-ionization zero-kinetic-energy photoelectron spectra of jet-cooled allyl radical (C(3)H(5)) have been recorded following single-photon and resonant multiphoton excitation. Simulations based on an orbital ionization model rovibronic photoionization selection rules reliably describe the observed intensity distributions in obtained from excitation ground state via 3s 3p Rydberg states. More than 30 transitions to vibrational levels cation were identified assigned basis predictions...
Large household appliances contain substantial amounts of plastics. At their end life, these are processed in waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) treatment plants where a mixed plastic fraction is generally obtained after mechanical processing.

It is proposed that the theory of dynamical systems offers appropriate tools to model many phonological aspects both speech production and perception. A dynamic account rhythm shown be useful for description Japanese mora timing English in a phrase repetition task. This orientation contrasts fundamentally with more familiar symbolic approach phonology, which time modeled only sequentially arrayed symbols. an adaptive oscillator perceptual entrainment (or `locking in') temporal patterns...
This paper describes a modular connectionist model of the acquisition receptive inflectional morphology. The takes inputs in form phones one at time and outputs associated roots inflections. Simulations using artificial language stimuli demonstrate capacity to learn suffixation, prefixation, infixation, circumfixation, mutation, template, deletion rules. Separate network modules responsible for syllables enable simple reduplication rules as well. also embodies constraints against...
Resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization combined with electronic ground state depletion spectroscopy of jet-cooled allyl radicals (C(3)H(5)) provides vibronic spectra the 3s and 3p Rydberg states. Analysis structure following two-photon excitation rovibrationally cold reveals transitions to 3p(z) ((2)A(1)) an origin at 42230 cm(-1). More than 40 vibrational levels in partially overlapping 3p(y) ((2)B(2)) are identified reassigned on basis predictions from ab initio calculations results...
This paper presents an application of finite state transducers weighted with feature structure descriptions, following Amtrup (2003), to the morphology Semitic language Tigrinya. It is shown that feature-structure weights provide efficient way handling templatic characterizes verb stems as well long-distance dependencies characterizing complex Tigrinya morphotactics. A relatively complete computational implementation described.
One kind of prosodic structure that apparently underlies both music and some examples speech production is meter. Yet detailed measurements the timing show nested periodicities define metrical can be quite noisy in time. What system could produce or perceive such variable patterns? And what would it take to able store reproduce particular patterns from long-term memory? We have developed a network coupled oscillators produces perceives pulses conform meters. In addition, beginning with an...
The 1-methylallyl radical loses a hydrogen atom following photoexcitation to its lowest valence electronically excited state and displays statistical behavior in decomposition, implying that the presence of methyl rotors cannot be depended upon as an indicator for non-statistical dissociation dynamics hydrocarbon radicals.
