access
▪
Thus, the lexical access component may have to match each word against every possible alignment of the input with the lexicon.
▪
Our first aim was to examine the lexical access components of a number of existing speech recognition systems.
▪
This process is known as lexical access .
▪
Yet lexical access stands in the same relation to these levels as the acoustic front end stands to lexical access.
▪
In understanding spoken language, lexical access is achieved by using information from the acoustic representation of a word.
▪
We am concerned with the theoretical and practical motivations behind the development of the lexical access component used here.
▪
It concentrates just on lexical access - there is no syntactic or semantic component - and its lexicon contains only 211 words.
ambiguity
▪
Bottom-up parsers are very susceptible to problems arising from lexical ambiguity .
▪
In Chapters 5 and 6 the Chart is allowed to run to completion in order to determine the worst-case effects of lexical ambiguity .
content
▪
Each sentence could be studied in isolation and be analysed in terms of grammatical construction, lexical content and so on.
▪
Such examples confirm the view of the infinitive proposed here because they evoke its lexical content as something prospective.
▪
Informally, these are rules which change the form of a basic sentence type without changing its lexical content .
entry
▪
A dictionary contains lexical entries for a large number of words.
▪
The system's linguistic knowledge is expressed by means of declarative rules and lexical entries .
form
▪
Light is therefore, according to the test, an ambiguous lexical form , and 10 and 11 manifest different senses.
▪
In all the above cases, the lexical form in question has only one established sense.
▪
A lexical unit is then the union of a lexical form and a single sense.
information
▪
The use of a morphologically-based lexicon can lead to a large reduction in the storage requirements for the lexical information .
▪
Representation of lexical information and lexical coverage.
▪
Even if lexical information can be used to limit subsequent registrations, it will not be done on a word-by-word basis.
▪
The lexical information for the constituent words is probably incorrect in the environment of the compound, leading to errors.
▪
Even if one does know that a compound exists there is no guarantee that the lexical information will be available.
item
▪
These lexical items act upon the grammar to constrain the temporariness sense since as lexical items they denote temporary activities.
▪
But the only difference between these two sentences lies in the choice of the lexical item as object.
▪
Like many distinctions, that between open and closed classes of lexical items is not an absolute one.
▪
Again, signer 2 differed notably from the others in his inability to use two lexical items simultaneously.
▪
These often show a dissociation between the stem of a lexical item and its affix.
▪
Word order is not the only conceivable grammatical device for enhancing the indexical precision of lexical items .
▪
It can be marked by very low pitch, even on lexical items , loss of amplitude and a lengthy pause.
meaning
▪
In the second place, the modal meaning is derivable from the canonical lexical meaning but not the other way round.
▪
Structural semantics refers to the way in which lexical meanings combine to produce complex semantic expressions.
▪
The conceptual or lexical meaning is sufficient for its indexical purpose on this occasion.
▪
These articles, definite and indefinite, now increase the specificity of the lexical meaning of the nouns.
semantics
▪
It may be wondered why it is necessary, or even advantageous, to have two sorts of unit for lexical semantics .
▪
However, they can be disentangled sufficiently to allow our study of lexical semantics to proceed.
▪
At this level of specificity, therefore, these facts are of limited significance for a general study of lexical semantics .
unit
▪
We have been speaking, so far, of the effects of context on the meaning of a single lexical unit .
▪
We shall characterise a lexeme as a family of lexical units .
▪
Thus all the senses of mouth discussed earlier will represent lexical units belonging to a single lexeme.
▪
Hence it is not unnatural to speak of a lexical unit standing in a particular semantic relation to other lexical units.
▪
Most basic of all are lexical units which become operative in minimal, or neutral, contexts.
▪
From our point of view, all idioms are elementary lexical units .
▪
We can now re-define a lexical unit .
EXAMPLES FROM CORPUS
▪
A full sense-spectrum is not a satisfactory lexical unit: it does not, for instance, enter into any recognised lexical relations.
▪
But one can not simply associate high lexical density with writing, and low lexical density with speaking.
▪
For example, the validity of a string of phonemes depends on what is in the lexical data base.
▪
Further evidence that children are attentive to Conventionality comes from the repairs they make to their own lexical choices.
▪
Instead, there would be a set of lexical rules indicating which affix had to be added to produce each inflected form.
▪
It involves retrieval of single items from a lexical output system of the kind described in Chapter 6.
▪
Since reports were in sign the lexical identification of individual items often derived from the other parameters.
▪
The keys for lexical access are stressed syllables in the word corresponding to the input syllable type.
