Narrative Discourse Segmentation in Clinical Linguistics
Ch. 8. P. 257–284.
This chapter deals with segmentation, definition of reference units and annotation of the first corpus of Russian narratives by individuals with brain damage – people with aphasia and right hemisphere damage – and neurologically healthy speakers. We show that such parameters as pause length and intonation contours cannot be used for segmentation of impaired speech. Instead, we use syntactic criteria for identification of the reference, or – as they are called in this paper – elementary discourse units (EDUs). The Russian CliPS (Clinical Pear Stories) corpus contains multi-layer annotation of audio- and video-recordings, performed on micro- and macro-linguistic level, and can be used as a source for qualitative and quantitative research on various aspects of speech in aphasia and right hemisphere damage.

Agreement feature processing is one of the core issues of psycholinguistics. Previous studies mainly focused on number and gender features and obtained controversial results: in some studies, gender was more salient in processing, while in others number was more salient. The studies relied on different languages, used different constructions and different methods. The goal of ...

The rapid expansion of the online education market has produced large volumes of unstructured data—course reviews containing detailed evaluations of specific educational components. Aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) makes it possible to move from a holistic assessment of the educational experience to an analysis of its individual constituents, identifying particular aspects of learning and students’ attitudes ...

Automatic classification of aphasia severity presents persistent challenges, particularly for languages with limited clinical speech resources such as Russian. This paper explores a multimodal approach to severity estimation that combines acoustic and semantic representations of pathological speech. Acoustic features are extracted using pretrained Wav2Vec 2.0 models, while semantic information is obtained from the encoder of ...

Despite a lot of interest for the factors influencing the choice of pronoun (reflexive or personal) with an antecedent in Russian, the role of the anaphotic relation—coreference or semantic binding—has been understudied, including disagreements as to the acceptability of particular data points. To clarify things, I employ large corpora (Araneum and GICR) to study the ...

This paper presents the first in-depth corpus-based study of a previously overlooked syntactic variation in Russian: the competition between juxtapositional (Nominative) and possessive-like (Genitive) encoding of the second noun (the term) in specificational constructions (e.g., ponjatie čest’ (notion.NOM honor.NOM) vs. ponjatie česti (notion.NOMhonor.GEN) ‘the notion of honor’). While typological research has established cross-linguistic preferences for one encoding strategy over another, intralinguistic variation ...

This paper presents a study on the effectiveness of discriminative methods for abbreviation lemmatization in Russian texts. Unlike generative approaches, discriminative models select the optimal lemma from a fixed set of candidates, eliminating the risk of generating grammatically incorrect word forms. For the first time in Russian language processing, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of ...

Pre-trained language models have significantly advanced natural language processing (NLP), particularly in analyzing languages with complex morphological structures. This study addresses lemmatization for the Russian language, the errors in which can critically affect the performance of information retrieval, question answering, and other tasks. We present the results of experiments on generative lemmatization using pre-trained language ...

This paper addresses the task of lemmatizing abbreviations in the Russian language. Abbreviation lemmatization is particularly challenging, as it involves not only transforming a word into its normal form but also correctly expanding the abbreviation. We explore two approaches to this task, both leveraging large pretrained language models. The first approach is generative, where the ...

There are several rival theories of fake indexicals, i.e. bound indexicals (prominently pronouns) whose φ-features do not semantically contribute to focus alternatives (e.g. Only Mary did her homework, John didn’t do his). According to Minimal Pronoun theories (such as Kratzer’s or Wurmbrand’s), bound pronouns are Merged without φ-features and acquire them under binding via agreement-like ...

Fake indexicals (FIs), or bound-variable uses of e.g. 1st - and 2 nd -person pronouns, have been analysed by Bassi (2021) as arising from a post-syntactic process of inspecting the features of the referent. This leads to a peculiar analysis of the syntax and semantics of relative clauses containing FIs. I argue for a more ...

Background: Patients with aphasia experience significant difficulties in reading and comprehending texts. Nevertheless, text-based activities constitute a substantial part of speech therapy programs for these patients – speech-language pathologists assign tasks such as reading texts aloud, answering comprehension questions, and, in cases of mild impairment, retelling the content. However, the textual material used must be ...
