Identifying the most appropriate expansion of acronyms used in wikipedia text

Dongjin Choi, Pankoo Kim

Software: Practice and Experience > 45 > 8 > 1073 - 1086

During the past several years, many studies have been conducted to determine the expansions (the expanded forms or definitions) of acronyms used in specific texts by using linguistic and syntactical approaches to overcome disambiguation problems. An acronym is an abbreviation formed of the initial components of multiple words. Using only these initial parts can result in huge mistakes when a machine...

Phonological default in the lexical stress system of Russian: Evidence from noun declension

Yulia Lavitskaya, Barış Kabak

Lingua > 2014 > 150 > Complete > 363-385

Russian is known to be an unpredictable stress language, where stress is not fixed to a particular location within a certain phonological domain, but rather marked lexically for a number of individual morphemes (e.g., roots and affixes). Despite its true lexical nature, when roots are unaccented or when dominant affixes delete the base accent, a default accent is argued to emerge. The default stress...
