The recording methodology used produces a natural dialogue exhibiting all the features of native-to-native interchanges.

LinguaTag is the first prototype tool within the language work package in the FP6 EU project SALERO to automatically tag speech …

Six different types of critical pairs were randomly alternated with actual translation pairs and unrelated distractor pairs. Each of the different categories of critical pairs had a different relationship with the L1 word, the L2 word, or both. Participants’ scores on this task were then analyzed to determine the …

Nietzsche and Heidegger pose important philosophical questions to science and its technological projects.

More than a thoughtful reflection on science, however, the heart of philosophy is also at stake in …
