Exploring the Effect of Nominal Compound Structure in Scientific Texts on Reading Times of Experts and Novices (2025.acl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Using a corpus of eye-tracking data of German native speakers, we find that some compound types are associated with longer reading times. |
| Approach: | They use a corpus containing eye-tracking data of german native speakers reading scientific texts. |
| Outcome: | The authors show that some compound types are associated with longer reading times and that experts may have an advantage while reading in-domain texts, but also while reading out-of-domain. |
Tracing Syntactic Change in the Scientific Genre: Two Universal Dependency-parsed Diachronic Corpora of Scientific English and German (2022.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a recent study has focused on the syntactic development of scientific discourse in English and German. |
| Approach: | They present two comparable diachronic corpora of scientific English and German from the Late Modern Period (17th c.–19th d.) annotated with Universal Dependencies. |
| Outcome: | The presented corpora are comparable to existing studies on grammatical change in English and German . the results show that the pre-processing steps significantly improve parsing accuracy . |

| Challenge: | Despite the high performance of transformer-based language models, we still lack understanding of the kind of linguistic knowledge they learn and rely on. |
| Approach: | They evaluate three transformer-based language models and test their grammatical and semantic knowledge by sentence-level probing, diagnostic cases, and masked prediction tasks. |
| Outcome: | The models capture grammatical and semantic knowledge, but they lack model-specific weaknesses especially on semantic knowledge. |
