This demonstrates that the lexical status of the sequence of precursor syllables affects the buildup of streaming and is inconsistent with the effects reported here being due to listeners using a lexical template to detect the target.
Bootstrapping lexical choice via multiple-sequence alignment.
Unfortunately, speech commands are sometimes misinterpreted when words overstep lexical boundaries and word sequences do not fit the preset grammars.
This prediction of the cohort model was directly tested in a behavioral experiment, which used a nonword detection task to tap into the timing of lexical processing in spoken sequences (Marslen-Wilson 1984).
A root and pattern system is common in the Afro-Asiatic phylum; stems made up of consonants (the root) provide a word with its basic lexical meaning, while the vowel sequence within the word (the pattern)—sometimes involving the addition of prefixes denotes grammatical categories such as number, mood, aspect, and tense.
Language cues can be categorized according to their level of knowledge abstraction as acoustic (spectrum, phone inventory), prosodic (duration, pitch, intonation), phonotactic (sequence of sounds), lexical (vocabulary, morphology), and syntax (phrases, grammar) [3],[4].
This sequencing is strictly lexical and is entirely irrespective of chains.
More recently, McCrory, Mechelli, Frith, and Price (2005) showed that both reading and picture naming involve lexical retrieval of familiar phonological sequences mediated by the left occipito-temporal region, an area that is underactivated in individuals with dyslexia.
Tai Dam is like many languages spoken in Southeast Asian region (e.g., Thai, Lao, Burmese, and Vietnamese), in that lexical verbs can be constructed in sequences of two or more verbs, known as a "serial verb construction".
Bresnan and her colleagues see evidence that readily observable facts about speaker behavior and frequency of word sequences correlate closely with certain lexical, syntactic, and semantic properties of words.
Possible topics include text classification, lexical semantics, language modeling, machine translation, tagging and sequence modeling, parsing, compositional semantics, summarization, question answering, language grounding, information extraction, and sentiment analysis.
