Fenno-Swedish Quantity: Contrast in Stratal OT
"... Compared to more familiar varieties of Swedish, the dialects spoken in Finland have rather diverse syllable structures. The distribution of distinctive syllable weight is determined by grammatical factors, and by varying effects of final consonant weightlessness. In turn it constrains several gemina ..."

Long-term priming of the meanings of ambiguous words
"... a b s t r a c t Comprehension of semantically ambiguous words (e.g., ''bark'') is strongly influenced by the relative frequencies of their meanings, such that listeners are biased towards retrieving the most frequent meaning. These biases are often assumed to reflect a highly st ..."

stable property of an individual's long-term lexical-semantic representations. We present three experiments that support an alternative view and suggest that these biases reflect a highly flexible aspect of lexical representations. We show that a single encounter with an ambiguous word in context
Decomposing Italian clitics
- Tilburg University, Tilburg
"... this paper, I will consider Italian monosyllabic object clitics and the dative clitic loro. I will provide motivation for treating Italian object clitics as affixes. Therefore, they will not be considered lexical items, but featural information which is provided in the lexicon and used in morphology ..."

in morphology and phonology for the realization of the cliticized verb form. In contrast, for the clitic loro I will show that this element exhibits word-like properties and I will consider it a lexical item. In this way, it will be possible to account for the differences in distribution between monosyllabic
Adults show less sensitivity to phonetic detail in unfamiliar words, too
- Journal of Memory and Language
, 2013
"... a b s t r a c t Young word learners fail to discriminate phonetic contrasts in certain situations, an observation that has been used to support arguments that the nature of lexical representation and lexical processing changes over development. An alternative possibility, however, is that these fai ..."

dimensions in early infancy, these dimensions are not used in the initial stages of representing meaningful words. The Lexical Restructuring Model One piece of evidence in support of this model is the fact that young word learners show better discrimination of phonetic contrasts embedded in familiar words
Review Review Review Review Connectionist psycholinguistics: capturing the empirical data
"... What is the significance of connectionist models of language processing? Will CONNECTIONISM (see Glossary) ultimately replace, complement or simply implement SYMBOLIC APPROACHES to language? (see Box 1) Early connectionists addressed this issue by attempting to show that connectionism could, in pri ..."

it deals with just 12 words. However, a subsequent study scaled-up these results using a similar network trained on phonologically transcribed conversational English 16 . How can bottom-up processes mimic lexical effects? It was argued that restoration depends on local statistical regularities
Neuter gender and interface vulnerability in child L2/2L1
- Paths of development in L1 and L2 acquisition. In honor of Bonnie Schwartz
, 2006
"... Abstract We examine the acquisition of grammatical gender of the definite determiner in Dutch by bilingual children from ethnic minority communities. The results show a complete acquisition of the neuter definite determiner (and demonstrative) by monolinguals (age 9;3-10;5), whereas the bilinguals ..."

Effects of Task Autonomy on Performance: An Extended Model Considering Motivational, Informational, and Structural Mechanisms,
- Journal of Applied Psychology,
, 2004
"... A model explaining the relationship between task autonomy and performance is proposed that incorporates 3 different causal mechanisms. The performance benefits of task autonomy may be realized by increased motivation (motivational mechanisms), by capitalization of information asymmetries (informati ..."

. To these ends, we propose that there are three distinct mechanisms by which individual task autonomy may affect performance, namely motivational, informational, and structural. Further, we propose moderators that operate on these relationships to explain how and why the performance benefits of autonomy
RICE UNIVERSITY Regime Change: Sampling Rate vs. Bit-Depth in Compressive Sensing
, 2011
"... The compressive sensing (CS) framework aims to ease the burden on analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) by exploiting inherent structure in natural and man-made signals. It has been demon-strated that structured signals can be acquired with just a small number of linear measurements, on the order of t ..."
