Mathematical representation ability is an essential skill for students to understand mathematical concepts. Many studies have been conducted regarding this ability, but it is necessary to map existing research to provide a clearer picture of future research topics. This study aims to provide a bibliometric review of trends using mathematical repres...
A comprehensive neural model of language must accommodate four components: representations, operations, structures and encoding. Recent intracranial research has begun to map out the feature space associated with syntactic processes, but the field lacks a unified framework that can direct invasive neural analyses. This article proposes a neurocompu...
Twi (Akan) and English can both express diminutive meaning using a morphological strategy (diminutive suffix) or a syntactic strategy (adjectival construction), but they differ with respect to native-speaker preferences -- morphological in Twi, syntactic in English. Each strategy in Twi, moreover, is associated with different types of complexity (m...
A coordinate construction is built by two basic levels of combination: a categoryless functional head is combined with a conjunct, and the result is combined with a categorizer, which is the other conjunct. The first combination is seen in all structures headed by a functional element, and the latter is seen in the categorization of a root. The sam...
Addressing the challenge of generating personalized feedback for programming assignments is demanding due to several factors, like the complexity of code syntax or different ways to correctly solve a task.

Language models (LMs) have been argued to overlap substantially with human beings in grammaticality judgment tasks. But when humans systematically make errors in language processing, should we expect LMs to behave like cognitive models of language and mimic human behavior? We answer this question by investigating LMs' more subtle judgments associat...
Background
Health policy decisions are often informed by estimates of long-term survival based primarily on short-term data. A range of methods are available to include longer-term information, but there has previously been no comprehensive and accessible tool for implementing these.

Progressive constructions in Germanic are usually studied as progressive constructions—that is, exclusively so. I characterize this as a top-down approach to aspect, which, I argue, harbors the risk of overlooking relevant language-specific structures that are similar in form and meaning. This paper, therefore, advocates taking a bottom-up approach...
Children’s early grammatical constructions, e.g., SVO, exhibit a learning curve with cumulative verb types (CVT) increasing exponentially. According to Ninio (2006), the fact that learning curves, though nonlinear, can be modelled by a continuous regression suggests instant generalisation. Moreover, differences in initial verbs across children indi...
Recent research has demonstrated that large pre-trained language models reflect societal biases expressed in natural language. The present paper introduces a simple method for probing language models to conduct a multilingual study of gender bias towards politicians. We quantify the usage of adjectives and verbs generated by language models surroun...
This article provides arguments to show that there is a form of syntax specific to the bodily movements of certain martial arts.

Identifying and resolving logic errors can be one of the most frustrating challenges for novice programmers. Unlike syntax errors, for which a compiler or interpreter can issue a message, logic errors can be subtle. In certain conditions, buggy code may even exhibit correct behavior---in other cases, the issue might be about how a problem statement...
Les textes des élèves du primaire et du secondaire montrent une forte proportion d’erreurs à l’écrit relevant de la ponctuation (Boivin et Pinsonneault, 2018, entre autres). Or, l’enseignement de la ponctuation n’offre souvent aux élèves que des possibilités limitées d'améliorer leur contrôle de l’usage des signes en contexte d'écriture (Riverin et...

Informed by the current call for a reassessment of the concepts of radicalism and extremity in the fields of literature and visual arts, my study aims to investigate the radicalities entailed by the tactics of turning inside out the materialities of poems and artworks as exemplified, respectively, by Emmett Williams's concrete poetry and Roman Stań...
The texts of primary and secondary school students show a high proportion of written errors related to punctuation (Boivin and Pinsonneault, 2018, among others). Yet punctuation instruction often offers students only limited opportunities to improve their control of sign usage in a writing context (Riverin and Dufour, 2018). This article presents a...
Writers and speakers rely on linguistic resources in the construction of texts. They are conscious of building unified, readable and decodable texts that will carry intended meanings to their audience. Different linguistic resources are deployed and utilized to construct texts, and one of the resources is cohesion. As a linguistic resource in text...
Thematic Roles and Verb Valency
Thematic roles are semantic relations that noun phrases have with respect to the action or state described by a verb. For example, in the sentence "The boy kicked the ball," The boy is the agent (the one who did the kicking), the ball is the theme (the thing which was kicked).
Verb valency is a property of verbs that...
Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) parsing aims to translate sentences to semantic AMR graphs and has recently been empowered by pre-trained Transformer models (e.g., BART). We argue that explicitly encoding syntactic knowledge is beneficial for AMR parsing, since the AMR graph of a sentence has similar substructures to those of its correspondin...
Human language relies on a rich cognitive machinery, partially shared with other animals. One key mechanism, decomposing events into causally-linked agent-patient roles, however, has remained elusive with no known animal equivalent. In humans, agent-patient relations in event cognition drive how languages are processed neurally and expressions stru...

We examined whether the number of native English speakers, the number of non-native English speakers, the strength of foreign accent in English, intelligibil...
Categorical semantics of type theories are often characterized as structure-preserving functors. This is because in category theory both the syntax and the domain of interpretation are uniformly treated as structured categories, so that we can express interpretations as structure-preserving functors between them. This mathematical characterization...
