Description: this xml file describes the Arabic phonetic constraints (rules) resulting from the analysis of the lexicons(Taj Alarous, Al ain, Lisan Al arab, Alwassit and almoassir ). These rules are to be applied to Arabic roots and are classified into a number of categories. Each category has a certain type of constraints as follow: The first category defines that the root must not consist of three identical letters. The second category defines that the root must not start with two repeating letters. The third category lists the letters that must not occur in the same root, regardless of their order. The fourth category lists the letters that may not be used together in a certain order in a root.

The corpus contains pronunciation lexicon and n-gram counts (unigrams, bigrams and trigrams) that can be used for constructing the language model for air traffic control communication domain. It could be used together with the Air Traffic Control Communication corpus (http://hdl.handle.net/11858/00-097C-0000-0001-CCA1-0). and Technology Agency of the Czech Republic, project No. TA01030476
The dataset contains delimitation of borders of dialect regions, subgroups, areas and types in the Czech Republic. It is the result of an extensive expert revision that was based on various sources and made the delimitation exact and accurate. At the same time, the dataset corresponds to the underlying data of the Mapka application running at https://korpus.cz/mapka/
There are four files in this submission. Two files contain the delimitation of dialect regions ("oblasti"; both in GeoJSON and Shapefile formats) and two files contain the delimitation of smaller dialect areas, i.e. subgroups, areas and types ("oblasti_jemne"; again in GeoJSON and Shapefile formats).
Phonological neighborhood density is known to influence lexical access, speech production as well as perception processes. Lexical competition is thought to be the central concept from which the neighborhood effect emanates: highly competitive neighborhoods are characterized by large degrees of phonemic co-activation, which can delay speech recognition and facilitate speech production. The present study investigates phonetic learning in English as a foreign language in relation to phonological neighborhood density and onset density to see whether dense or sparse neighborhoods are more conducive to the incorporation of novel phonetic detail. In addition, the effect of voice-contrasted minimal pairs (bat-pat) is explored. Results indicate that sparser neighborhoods with weaker lexical competition provide the most optimal phonological environment for phonetic learning. Moreover, novel phonetic details are incorporated faster in neighborhoods without minimal pairs. Results indicate that lexical competition plays a role in the dissemination of phonetic updates in the lexicon of foreign language learners.
The file contains the charts, tables and figures serving to delineate the metaphor-metonymy cognitive mechanism behind English denominal verbs. The data was obtained by questionnaires and interviews, which was then documented into charts and tables. Figures submitted mainly provide clear outline and concise outline of the metaphor-metonymy models of denominalization.
We have created test set for syntactic questions presented in the paper [1] which is more general than Mikolov's [2]. Since we were interested in morphosyntactic relations, we extended only the questions of the syntactic type with exception of nationality adjectives which is already covered completely in Mikolov's test set.
We constructed the pairs more or less manually, taking inspiration in the Czech side of the CzEng corpus [3], where explicit morphological annotation allows to identify various pairs of Czech words (different grades of adjectives, words and their negations, etc.). The word-aligned English words often shared the same properties. Another sources of pairs were acquired from various webpages usually written for learners of English. For example for verb tense, we relied on a freely available list of English verbs and their morphological variations.
We have included 100-1000 different pairs for each question set. The questions were constructed from the pairs similarly as by Mikolov: generating all possible pairs of pairs. This leads to millions of questions, so we randomly selected 1000 instances per question set, to keep the test set in the same order of magnitude. Additionally, we decided to extend set of questions on opposites to cover not only opposites of adjectives but also of nouns and verbs.
The book [1] contains spelling rules classified into ten categories, each category containing many rules. This XML file presents our implemented rules classified with six category tags, as is the case in the book. We implemented 24 rules since the remaining rules require diacritical and morphological analysis that are outside the scope of our present work.
