Kajian Antropolinguistik Bentuk Lingual Umbu dalam Nyanyian Tidur “Ille Le” pada Masyarakat Melolo, Kabupaten Sumba Timur, Nusa Tenggara Timur (Antropholinguistic Study Word "Umbu‟ in Sleeping Song “Ille Le” at the Melolo Community, East Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara)

Antropolinguistik menempatkan bahasa sebagai kajian utama dan keberadaannya dalam berbagai aspek kebahasaan. Jika dalil tersebut digunakan, lirik sebagai aspek kebahasaan bergayut dengan musikalitas nyanyian “Ille Le” ‗nyanyian tidur‘ masyarakat Melolo. Secara lebih spesifik ditetapkan masalah dalam penelitian ini yaitu bagaimana kajian antropolinguistik bentuk lingual umbu nyanyian tidur “Ille Le” pada masyarakat Melolo, Nusa Tenggara Timur. Berdasarkan kajian pustaka diperoleh research gap yaitu penelitian spesifik antropolinguitik kajian nyanyian budaya. Teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini ialah semiotik kognitif berdasarkan prinsip semiotik de Saussure. Metode penelitian menggunakan ancangan kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi.. Hasil penelitian 1) lirik patriarkat terlihat dalam struktur syair “Ille Le” pada kata umbu ‗anak laki-laki‘; 2) lirik ini dinyanyikan berulang dalam ambitus nada pentatonik. Nyanyian “Ille Le” menceritakan kehidupan masyarakat Melolo pada seorang bayi laki-laki „umbu‟.. Kebaruan dalam penelitian ini yaitu kajian antropolinguistik yang berkaitan dengan lirik nyanyian budaya. Bentuk lingual yang khas tidak dapat dipisahkan dari bentuk musikalnya. Anthropolinguistics places language as the main study and its existence in various aspects of language. Anthropolinguistics in this study relates to the lyrics and musicality of the song “Ille Le” „sleep song‟ of the people of Melolo, East Nusa Tenggara. The problem in this research is how the anthropolinguistic study of patriarchal lyrics in „“Ille Le”‟ sleep songs in the Melolo community, East Sumba Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. Based on the literature review, it was obtained research gap are specific anthropolinguistic research on cultural singing studies. The song „“Ille Le”‟ can be grouped into oral literature, the linguistic aspect is influenced by a unique ethnic music style. The theory used in this research is cognitive semiotics based on de Saussure semiotics. The research method used a qualitative design with a fenomenology approach. The results of the study 1) patriarchal lyrics can be seen in the poetry structure “Ille Le” in the word umbu 'boys'; 2) these lyrics are sung over and over in ambitus pentatonic tones. The song “Ille Le” seeks the life of the Melolo community in a baby boy 'umbu'. The distinctive lingual form cannot be separated from the musical form.

On a classification of word problems from the first grade Lithuanian textbooks

Word problems are classified to S problems and P problems by Verschaffel [9], classification is being specified and expanded. Reviewed word problems in Lithuanian first grade textbooks and divided to types. Submitted recommendations to use more varied types word problems, that would let to expand concepts understanding, develop mathematical reasoning, motivate to study word problem.

WORD STRUCTURE OF POETONYMS IN MUSTAI KARIM’S LITERARY WORK "LONG-LONG CHILDHOOD"

The present paper aims to study word structure and meaning of the proper names that appear in Mustai Karim’s literary works. In this article, the methods of system, theoretical and practical analysis are used. Based on the analysis of poetonyms, the word-building patterns of proper names in M. Karim’s autobiography novel «Long-long childhood» are considered. As far as this issue has never been the focus of linguists’ attention, this research is the first attempt of a comprehensive study of proper names used in M. Karim’s novel from structural and word-building angles; the specificity of the functioning of onims and their role in the creation of artistic images, as well as in the reflection of the main stages in the development of the Bashkir language, is revealed. The work makes a definite contribution to the study of trends in the development of the Bashkir language system, as well as structural and word-formation features of poetic onomastics.

Evaluating the Stability of Embedding-based Word Similarities

Word embeddings are increasingly being used as a tool to study word associations in specific corpora. However, it is unclear whether such embeddings reflect enduring properties of language or if they are sensitive to inconsequential variations in the source documents. We find that nearest-neighbor distances are highly sensitive to small changes in the training corpus for a variety of algorithms. For all methods, including specific documents in the training set can result in substantial variations. We show that these effects are more prominent for smaller training corpora. We recommend that users never rely on single embedding models for distance calculations, but rather average over multiple bootstrap samples, especially for small corpora.

Stroop test software. The Tastiva proposal

There has been a great deal of research on emotional information processing within the field of clinical psychology. Many tests have been developed and the emotional Stroop test is one of the most used. However, some versions of the Stroop test have methodological issues when used to study word-colour interferences, especially when the words are emotionally charged. We present a computer-assisted version of the emotional Stroop test called Tastiva, which is highly versatile, useful, and accessible, in addition to being easy to use and widely applicable. The Tastiva software and User Manual is available on the University of Seville website: http://grupo.us.es/recursos/Tastiva/index.htm. We also present a case study using neutral and sexual content words, in which the program calculates the word exposure time by analysing the behaviour of the respondent. One of its novel contributions is the graphic presentation of meas-ures: response time, errors, and non-response to stimuli.

Product Style Map — An Effective Tool for Product Strategy Planning

Product is a platform with which the companies and the consumers communicate with each other. The product style contains two kind of information - one from the companies and the other from the consumers side. Product style map is an effective tool for product strategy planning. In this study, word processing technology was firstly investigated including methods of new words identification, words semantic measurement, and new words explanation. Consequentially, Product Style Keywords Map was produced with the fore mentioned technology, dynamic SOM model was adopted to cluster the product style keywords. A visualization and interaction structure was set up based on Flex technology.

Speech Identification with Temporal and Spectral Modification in Subjects with Auditory Neuropathy

Background. The aim of this study was to investigate the individual effects of envelope enhancement and high-pass filtering (500 Hz) on word identification scores in quiet for individuals with Auditory Neuropathy. Method. Twelve individuals with Auditory Neuropathy (six males and six females) with ages ranging from 12 to 40 years participated in the study. Word identification was assessed using bi-syllabic words in each of three speech processing conditions: unprocessed, envelope-enhanced, and high-pass filtered. All signal processing was carried out using MATLAB-7. Results. Word identification scores showed a mean improvement of 18% with envelope enhanced versus unprocessed speech. No significant improvement was observed with high-pass filtered versus unprocessed speech. Conclusion. These results suggest that the compression/expansion signal processing strategy enhances speech identification scores—at least for mild and moderately impaired individuals with AN. In contrast, simple high-pass filtering (i.e., eliminating the low-frequency content of the signal) does not improve speech perception in quiet for individuals with Auditory Neuropathy.
