  2. 11. Methods and Tools for Automating Language Engineering

    Author : Grégoire Détrez; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Natural language processing; Language Engineering; Morphology; Lexicon; Complexity;

    Abstract : Language-processing software is becoming increasingly present in our society. Making such tools available to the greater number is not just a question of access to technology but also a question of language as they need to be adapted, or localized, to each linguistic community.

  4. 12. Programming Language Techniques for Natural Language Applications

    Author : Björn Bringert; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : It is easy to imagine machines that can communicate in natural language. Constructing such machines is more difficult. The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate how declarative grammar formalisms that distinguish between abstract and concrete syntax make it easier to develop natural language applications. READ MORE

  5. 13. Splitting rocks: Learning word sense representations from corpora and lexica

    Author : Luis Nieto Piña; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; language technology; natural language processing; distributional models; semantic representations; distributed representations; word senses; embeddings; word sense disambiguation; linguistic resources; corpus; lexicon; machine learning; neural networks;

    Abstract : The representation of written language semantics is a central problem of language technology and a crucial component of many natural language processing applications, from part-of-speech tagging to text summarization. These representations of linguistic units, such as words or sentences, allow computer applications that work with language to process and manipulate the meaning of text. READ MORE

  6. 14. Modelling Phone-Level Pronunciation in Discourse Context

    Author : Per-Anders Jande; Rolf Carlson; Merle Horne; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pronunciation modelling; Pronunciation variation; Discourse-context; Phone-level variation; Central standard Swedish; Spoken language annotation; Data-driven methods; Machine learning; Decision trees; Pronunciation lexicon development; Machine-readable lexicon; Phonology; Discourse; Lexicon; Language technology; Språkteknologi;

    Abstract : Analytic knowledge about the systematic variation in a language has an important place in the description of the language. Such knowledge is interesting e.g. in the language teaching domain, as a background for various types of linguistic studies, and in the development of more dynamic speech technology applications.

  7. 15. Immigration, security and the public debate on US language policy : A critical discourse analysis of language attitudes in the United States of America

    Author : Soraya Tharani; Anna-Brita Stenström; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; national identity; societal security; language policy; ethnolinguistic conflict; human rights; language rights; ethnicity; multilingualism; immigration; critical discourse analysis; language attitudes; English language; Spanish language; United States;

    Abstract : The narrative of the United States is of a "nation of immigrants" in which the language shift patterns of earlier ethnolinguistic groups have tended towards linguistic assimilation through English. In recent years, however, changes in the demographic landscape and language maintenance by non-English speaking immigrants, particularly Hispanics, have been perceived as threats and have led to calls for an official English language policy.
