Voice Constructions in Kanakanavu Grammar and Discourse
No full textThis dissertation is a comprehensive analysis of voice constructions in Kanakanavu, a critically endangered Formosan language (Austronesian language of Taiwan) spoken in the Namasia District of Kaohsiung, southern Taiwan. The data considered for the analysis are mainly drawn from a corpus of spontaneous speech produced by contemporary speakers, which are complemented by elicited data and a verb database constructed by the author. The Kanakanavu voice system has been treated in various previous studies, but there is a general lack of consensus regarding several of its fundamental properties. The language has been analyzed as exhibiting a two-way, three-way or even four-way/Philippine-type voice distinction; it also remains unclear how voice interacts with tense-aspect-mood marking on the one hand, and transitivity and grammatical relations on the other. By investigating the morphosyntactic, semantic and discourse-pragmatic properties of voice, this dissertation (i) establishes a framework for describing and representing Kanakanavu natural discourse data, (ii) analyzes the morphological and syntactic foundations of Kanakanavu voice and (iii) explores the functional-typological implications of Kanakanavu voice constructions both within and beyond the Austronesian language family.It is argued that Kanakanavu exhibits a binary voice distinction in its verbal-clause morphosyntax.The structural opposition --- between what are labelled "agent voice" and "patient voice" --- is evidenced in two specific patterns of interaction between voice marking and tense-aspect-mood marking: while agent-voice verbs always involve separate exponents for voice and tense-aspect-mood, patient-voice verbs are consistently marked by voice markers that also serve a tense-aspect-marking or mood-marking function. The finding regarding the number of voice distinctions is in line with those found in some recent analyses of Kanakanavu voice, but it is motivated by typologically informed analyses of verbal tense-aspect-mood marking in the language based on detailed examinations of how different verb forms are used in spontaneous speech.At the syntactic level, voice alternation in Kanakanavu is argued to be essentially a transitivity-alternation phenomenon, leading to the analysis of the agent-voice construction as the intransitive construction (involving only one core argument), and the patient-voice construction as the transitive construction (involving two core arguments). The analysis is based on the observation from natural discourse that the patient-voice construction is always used for expressing transitive situations, while the agent-voice construction is the default construction for forming (i) basic intransitive clauses and (ii) clauses involving syntactically demoted and discourse-functionally backgrounded patients. The finding suggests that the Kanakanavu verbal clause exhibits ergativity, which is in line with many analyses of Formosan and Philippine languages where voice interacts closely with transitivity. It is, however, further shown that Kanakanavu exhibits differential (pronominal) agent marking in its patient-voice construction. This is a typologically and areally unusual phenomenon within the larger Western Austronesian context, which has been generally overlooked in previous studies on the language despite having been identified early on by Tsuchida (1976)
HateCheckHIn: Evaluating Hindi Hate Speech Detection Models
No full textDue to the sheer volume of online hate, the AI and NLP communities have
started building models to detect such hateful content. Recently, multilingual
hate is a major emerging challenge for automated detection where code-mixing or
more than one language have been used for conversation in social media.
Typically, hate speech detection models are evaluated by measuring their
performance on the held-out test data using metrics such as accuracy and
F1-score. While these metrics are useful, it becomes difficult to identify
using them where the model is failing, and how to resolve it. To enable more
targeted diagnostic insights of such multilingual hate speech models, we
introduce a set of functionalities for the purpose of evaluation. We have been
inspired to design this kind of functionalities based on real-world
conversation on social media. Considering Hindi as a base language, we craft
test cases for each functionality. We name our evaluation dataset HateCheckHIn.
To illustrate the utility of these functionalities , we test state-of-the-art
transformer based m-BERT model and the Perspective API.Comment: Accepted at: 13th Edition of its Language Resources and Evaluation

Universals of Word Formation Processes: Noun Incorporation in the Acquisition of Samoan as a Second Language
No full textThis study examines the influence of a proposed implicational hierarchy (Mithun, 1984) and constraints of Universal Grammar (Baker, 1988) on the acquisition of noun incorporation processes by 29 adult learners of Samoan, compared to the performance of a control group of 11 native Samoan speakers. The methodology involved reaction time, grammaticality judgment and response certainty measures of the processing difficulty and acceptability of examples of noun incorporation for English speaking learners of Samoan, with the latter measure giving the clearest support for two hypothesized orders of difficulty
Bilayer Tablet: Novel Technology Use in Extended Release Drug Delivery System
No full textBilayer tablet is a successful technology of controlled release formulation or extended release formulation to provide successful drug delivery. The name of this development is clear that the tablets have been consisting of two layers, these are immediate release layer (IR) and another is extended release layer (ER). In this era it is very useful in many developing countries as a combination therapy for various disease treatment purposes. Bilayer tablet are needs to separate incompatible active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) by physical separation. In this formulation IR and ER both layers are present and it form extended release layer (ER). This types of formulations helps to maintain plasma level concentration in the body. So, it is a very useful and successful technology in novel drug delivery system.
