Syntactic Variation Across the Grammar: Modelling a Complex Adaptive System
Jonathan Dunn
While language is a complex adaptive system, most work on syntactic variation observes a few individual constructions in isolation from the rest of the grammar. This means that the…
cantnlp@LT-EDI-2023: Homophobia/Transphobia Detection in Social Media Comments using Spatio-Temporally Retrained Language Models
Sidney G. -J. Wong, Matthew Durward, Benjamin Adams +1
This paper describes our multiclass classification system developed as part of the LTEDI@RANLP-2023 shared task. We used a BERT-based language model to detect homophobic and transp…
Comparing Measures of Linguistic Diversity Across Social Media Language Data and Census Data at Subnational Geographic Areas
Sidney G. -J. Wong, Jonathan Dunn, Benjamin Adams
This paper describes a preliminary study on the comparative linguistic ecology of online spaces (i.e., social media language data) and real-world spaces in Aotearoa New Zealand (i.…
Variation and Instability in Dialect-Based Embedding Spaces
Jonathan Dunn
This paper measures variation in embedding spaces which have been trained on different regional varieties of English while controlling for instability in the embeddings. While prev…
Exploring the Constructicon: Linguistic Analysis of a Computational CxG
Jonathan Dunn
Recent work has formulated the task for computational construction grammar as producing a constructicon given a corpus of usage. Previous work has evaluated these unsupervised gram…
Exposure and Emergence in Usage-Based Grammar: Computational Experiments in 35 Languages
Jonathan Dunn
This paper uses computational experiments to explore the role of exposure in the emergence of construction grammars. While usage-based grammars are hypothesized to depend on a lear…
