The Discriminative Lexicon: A Unified Computational Model for the Lexicon and Lexical Processing in Comprehension and Production Grounded Not in (De)Composition but in Linear Discr... by R. Harald Baayen, Yu-Ying Chuang, Elnaz Shafaei-Bajestan, James P. Blevins

“…The computational engine at the heart of the discriminative lexicon is linear discriminative learning: simple linear networks are used for mapping form onto meaning and meaning onto form, without requiring the hierarchies of post-Bloomfieldian ‘hidden’ constructs such as phonemes, morphemes, and stems. We show that this novel model meets the criteria of accuracy (it properly recognizes words and produces words correctly), productivity (the model is remarkably successful in understanding and producing novel complex words), and predictivity (it correctly predicts a wide array of experimental phenomena in lexical processing). …”

Les silences du droit pénal : une mécanique du chaos ? by Djoheur Zerouki

“…But "amnesty", says Ricoeur, "as institutional oblivion, touches [...] on the deepest and most concealed relationship with a forbidden past. The more than phonetic, even semantic proximity between amnesty and amnesia points to the existence of a secret pact with the denial of memory that [...] in truth distances it from forgiveness after having proposed its simulation". …”

Types of Rhyme and Radif and Their Musical Roles in Iraqi's sonnets Types of Rhyme and Radif and Their Musical Roles in Iraqi's sonnets by Abdolreza Seyf, Ali Mohammad Moazzeni, ALIASGHAR FARAZ

“…In these  rhymes, for having the necessary condition for fluency of the music, vowels or a suitable radif with a high syllable have been used. 64% of Iraqi's sonnets have radifs, so the last consonant of the rhyme with poor pronunciation in these sonnets is well-pronounced and the necessary music of the poem is achieved. The phonetic relationship between the chains and sub-chains in the chain of words, between rhyme and radif, and the other words in each line has a good harmony and nice beautiful music.But in Iraqi's sonnets, contents are similar and  imagination is low, and repetitions of rhyme,  radif and the first line (Matla') are in excess of need.…”

Voice assimilation of morphemic -s in the L2 English of L1 French, L1 Italian and L1 Spanish learners by Leonardo Contreras Roa, Paolo Mairano, Marc Capliez, Caroline Bouzon

“…Given the different distributions and status of [s] and [z] in the participants’ L1s and based on SLM (Speech Learning Model) and MDH (Markedness Differential Hypothesis), we hypothesized that L1 French learners and L1 Italian learners would find it easier than L1 Spanish learners to reproduce the outcome of the voice assimilation rule, but our predictions are only partially confirmed by the results: L1 French learners (who have /s/ and /z/ in their L1 as phonemes occurring in word-final position) are indeed the most successful in producing the expected patterns of periodicity. …”

Electromyographic Pattern Analysis and Classification for a Robotic Prosthetic Arm by M. José H. Erazo Macias, S. Alejandro Vega

“…The results show very good separability of classes of movements when a learning pattern classification scheme is used, and a superposition of any composite motion to the three basic primitive motions—humeral rotation in and out, flexion and extension, and pronation and supination. Since no synergy was detected for the wrist movement, different inputs have to be provided for a grip. …”
