The importance of the left rather than right hemisphere for discriminating tone for lexical purposes has been highlighted by studies of Chinese-speaking patients with aprosodia [Hughes et al., 1983], behavioral studies of normal subjects [e.g., Wang et al., 2001] and neuroimaging studies [Gandour et al., 2000, 2003; Hsieh et al., 2001; Wang et al., 2003; Wong et al., 2004].
This paper provides a window on the role of creating a self-study language course for wine-growers from a beginners' level, with the aim of gaining insights into the use of lexical chunks in language for specific purposes (LSP) teaching and learning.
We describe a theory of lexical semantics making use of a knowledge representation framework that offers a richer, more expressive vocabulary for lexical information.
Each list also contained 60 pseudowords that were created for the purpose of the lexical decision task and had a similar number of letters compared to the target words.
We needed a verb dictionary and for that purpose we examined lexical resources for the biological domain such as BioLexicon (Sasaki et al., 2008a).
For this purpose, two different approaches for detecting conflicts are introduced: one entails the use of lexical expressions of functions, and the other involves the ranges of design parameters.
Given the increasing relevance of semantic interoperability in this context, this work presents the specification and development of a Web Ontology Service (WOS), based on the OGC Web Service Architecture specification, whose purpose is to facilitate the management and use of lexical ontologies.
For this purpose, Hood identified certain lexical items typical of FR or FD in her sample texts.
To understand a question, knowledge of the language, e.g., the knowledge that birthplace and birthday are properties of a person, are needed; and lexical knowledge bases are constructed for this purpose.
To this purpose, we adapted a simple lexical decision task [11] that required the subjects to decide whether the visually presented stimuli were real English words or strings of letters with plausible readings but no semantic content ("nonwords") by pressing a button on an MRI-compatible response device.
Importantly, the lexical manipulations are done solely for the purpose of canonicalization.
