Korean Language Acquisition and Syntax: Setting a Foundation for Korean EI Testing

Oct 26, 2024 | scholarsarchive.byu.edu | William Wilson |Deryle W. Lonsdale |Brigham Young

KeywordsKorean language acquisition, Korean EI testing, Elicited ImitationDepartmentLinguistics and English LanguageAbstractAccurate and reliable L2 testing (or second language testing) is something that many entities rely on, including educational institutions, business enterprises, and the government. Researchers over the last several decades have proposed new testing methods, and a particularly promising venue is Elicited Imitation (EI). Simply put, an EI test is a sentence imitation test.
Japanese Sentence Parsing in an Artificial Intelligence System

Jul 9, 2024 | scholarsarchive.byu.edu | Deryle W. Lonsdale |Brigham Young

KeywordsJapanese sentence parsing, artificial intelligence system, SoarDepartmentLinguistics and English LanguageAbstractIn this project, we created a Japanese sentence parser that functions within a cognitive modeling architecture known as Soar. It was created by modifying an existing English parser called XNL-Soar, which implements minimalist principles in syntactic parsing.

KeywordsAnalogical modeling (AM), Morphological analysis, Lushootseed languageAbstractAnalogical modeling (AM) is an exemplar-based general modeling theory that is being applied to an increasing range ofnatural language processing problems. This paper introduces AM as a viable approach to morphological analysis for Lushootseed, and shows results from applying the system to analyze the contents of the transcription of a well-known Lushootseed story.

The paradigm has been well documented in the linguistics and cognition literature, but is less well known to the machine learning community.
"A speech interface to genealogical data" by Deryle W. Lonsdale
