Pp. 262. ISBN 978-0-19-547703-0 (hb). RS 595. In this book Lubna Saif has focused on the challenges that faced the newly born state of Pakistan. The author has employed the ‘dependency paradigm’ in her analysis of the events that unfolded in Pakistan during the first decade of its existence. Dependency theory is ‘a set of theories’ which asserts that the inability of the third world countries to achieve sustainable levels of development was due to their structural ‘dependence on the advanced capitalist world’ (A Dictionary of Sociology [Oxford: OUP, 1998], 150-51). These theories were advanced in opposition to modernization theory which anticipated that less developed countries would ultimately catch up with the developed world if they followed a pattern of development similar to that of the developed world.

  • Dependency-Based Tigrinya Grammar Checker
    Addis Ababa University College of Natural and Computational Sciences Dependency-based Tigrinya Grammar Checker Mehammedbrhan Abdelkadr Gidey A Thesis Submitted to the Department of Computer Science in Partial Fulfillment for the Degree of Master of Science in Computer Science Addis Ababa, Ethiopia March 2021 Addis Ababa University College of Natural and Computational Sciences Mehammedbrhan Abdelkadr Gidey Advisor: Yaregal Assabie (PhD) This is to certify that the thesis prepared by Mehammedbrhan Abdelkadr Gidey, titled: Dependency-based Tigrinya Grammar Checker and submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Computer Science complies with the regulations of the University and meets the accepted standards with respect to originality and quality. Signed by the Examining Committee: Name Signature Date Advisor: Yaregal Assabie (PhD) __________ __________ Examiner: Dida Midekso (PhD) __________ __________ Examiner: Minale Ashagrie (PhD) __________ __________ Abstract Grammar checking is the process of checking for grammatical correctness by verifying the syntax and morphology of a sentence according to the used language. For languages such As English, Arabic, Afaan Oromo, and Amharic, many efforts have been made to develop grammar checking systems. Because natural languages differ in their morphology and grammar, it's difficult to apply a grammar checker of one language to another. Although an attempt was made to develop a grammar checker for Tigrinya, the grammar checker is unable to identify the relationship between words in a sentence, parsing complex and compound sentences, and it produces possible sentence structures with syntactically correct but semantically non-sense sentences. The use of phrase- structure grammar notation for statistical and rule-based methods causes the majority of these issues because it has a complicated representation but it allows a limited level of grammar analysis.

  • The Development of Grammatical Morphemes in the Speech of Young Children Using English As a Second Language in a Classroom Context
    THE DEVELOPMENTOF GRAMMATICALMORPHEMES IN THE SPEECH OF YOUNGSECOND LANGUAGE LEARNERS WITHIN A CONVERSATIONAL CONTEXT. BY CAROLINE H. BARRATT-PUGH. ti Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The University of Leeds School of Education October 1990. ABSTRACT This is a longitudinal study of the development of grammatical morphemes in the speech of young children using English as a second language in a classroom context. The theoretical standpoint adopted is that first and second language development in 'natural' contexts is facilitated by the same underlying processes, and that central to this development is the notion of meaningful interaction, through which conversational partners negotiate shared understanding. It is argued that if the interactional features identified as facilitative in first language development are reproduced within the classroom context, the sequence of development identified in this study will reflect the sequence identified in first language learning. The data was collected over a period of six terms and initial analysis reveals similarities between the process of morphemic development in first and classroom second language learning. As a result of these findings, the analysis is then extended to take account of the conversational context in which development occurs. Particular reference is made to repetition and formulaic speech which the learners appear to use as a means of producing verb morphemes within the context of interrogatives and negation. The methodological significance of the identification and interpretation of strategies within an interactional framework is discussed. Analysis reveals that in addition to the general processes identified, which account for a shared sequence of development in first and second language development, there are individual differences.

  • Grammar Checkers for Natural Languages: a Review
    International Journal on Natural Language Computing (IJNLC) Vol. 6, No.4, August 2017 GRAMMAR CHECKERS FOR NATURAL LANGUAGES : A REVIEW Nivedita S. Bhirud 1 R.P. Bhavsar 2 B.V. Pawar 3 1Department of Computer Engineering, Vishwakarma Institute of Information Technology, Pune, India 2,3 School of Computer Sciences, North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon, India ABSTRACT Natural Language processing is an interdisciplinary branch of linguistic and computer science studied under the Artificial Intelligence (AI) that gave birth to an allied area called ‘Computational Linguistics’ which focuses on processing of natural languages on computational devices. A natural language consists of many sentences which are meaningful linguistic units involving one or more words linked together in accordance with a set of predefined rules called ‘grammar’. Grammar checking is fundamental task in the formal world that validates sentences syntactically as well as semantically. Grammar Checker tool is a prominent tool within language engineering. Our review draws on the till date development of various Natural Language grammar checkers to look at past, present and the future in the present context. Our review covers common grammatical errors , overview of grammar checking process, grammar checkers of various languages with the aim of seeking their approaches, methodologies and performance evaluation, which would be great help for developing new tool and system as a whole. The survey concludes with the discussion of different features included in existing grammar checkers of foreign languages as well as a few Indian Languages. KEYWORDS Natural Language Processing, Computational Linguistics, Writing errors,Grammatical mistakes, Grammar Checker 1. INTRODUCTION Language is a means of communication, particularly in human beings, that has origin in natural thoughts regardless of any planning or motivation.
