description: Since its original appearance in 1991, the Perso-Arabic script representation in Unicode has grown from 169 to over 440 atomic isolated characters spread over several code pages representing standard letters, various diacritics and punctuation for the original Arabic and numerous other regional orthographic traditions. This paper documents the challenges that Perso-Arabic presents beyond the best-documented languages, such as Arabic and Persian, building on earlier work by the expert community. We particularly focus on the situation in natural language processing (NLP), which is affected by multiple, often neglected, issues such as the use of visually ambiguous yet canonically nonequivalent letters and the mixing of letters from different orthographies. Among the contributing conflating factors are the lack of input methods, the instability of modern orthographies, insufficient literacy, and loss or lack of orthographic tradition. We evaluate the effects of script normalization on eight languages from diverse language families in the Perso-Arabic script diaspora on machine translation and statistical language modeling tasks. Our results indicate statistically significant improvements in performance in most conditions for all the languages considered when normalization is applied. We argue that better understanding and representation of Perso-Arabic script variation within regional orthographic traditions, where those are present, is crucial for further progress of modern computational NLP techniques especially for languages with a paucity of resources.

Characterization of meiotic midbodies in mouse oocytes
Creators: name: Jung, Gyu Ik
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Oocytes are the germ cells that originate from ovaries and are an essential component for sexual reproduction. Oocyte meiosis leads to the formation of a healthy egg that supports the foundation of new life. Cytokinesis of meiosis I is critical for egg quality because it is necessary for physical separation of progenitor cells and for preventing polyploidy. Moreover, cytokinesis in somatic cells leads to the formation of the midbody (MB), a transient, membrane-less organelle. Proteomic and transcriptomic studies of midbodies from somatic cells show that they are enriched in RNA molecules and proteins involved in transcription, translation, and epigenetic regulation. The contents of the MBs led to their categorization as ribonucleoprotein (RNP granules). Mitotic cells release MBs via symmetric abscission but can then uptake MBs through phagocytosis. MB uptake correlates with cell fate determination, stemness, and tumorigenicity, consistent with MBs being RNP granules. However, mammalian oocytes undergo asymmetric divisions during meiosis, suggestive of asymmetric cytokinesis and abscission. Whether oocytes have MBs and, if so, what function they have is not known. Because MBs can influence somatic cells, I hypothesized that inheriting a meiotic MB (mMB) is critical to sustain pre-implantation embryonic development and to acquire totipotency after fertilization. In this thesis, I sought to understand the structure of mMBs in mouse oocytes by evaluating the localization of known MB markers through confocal microscopy. Doing so, I identified a novel, oocyte-specific region of MBs that I named the mMB cap, composed of the Centralspindlin complex. Next, I determined that mMBs also possess RNP granule properties, as shown in somatic cells, and find that localized, active translation takes place. Translation at the mMB is confined on the egg side by the mMB cap, which, upon disruption, prevents pre-implantation embryo development in parthenogenetically activated eggs. The results presented in this thesis document, for the first time, describe the existence of mMBs in mouse oocytes and are the basis for a proposed novel mechanism by which developmental competence of eggs is ensured.
“Lerne Ostdeutsch!” (Learn the East German language!) Myth and reality about an East German language

Year: 2017

description: This paper outlines the issues surrounding the debate about a characteristically East German language. Comparisons will be drawn between previous research and my own linguistic data. It will be demonstrated that the official, ideological language as prescribed by the socialist government of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany), had some impact on semi-official communication, but almost no impact on private language use, which was hardly different from the West. However, a number of lexical items have acquired and retained a specifically East German emotional component. It will also be argued that some research and reflections on language in East Germany are in fact reflections on society and social and political developments, in the tradition of “Sprachpflege” and language criticism.
Culture-specific items in Japanese-English literary translation: comparing two translations of Kawabata's 'Izu no Odoriko'
Creators: name: Tobias, Shani
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Cultural considerations influence many aspects of the translation decision-making process. When translating literature, the translator frequently is faced with culture-bound items such as physical articles, customs and expressions which must somehow be conveyed to the target audience in their own language. What strategies do translators use in dealing with culture-specific items, and how successful are these strategies in promoting cross-cultural understanding? This paper examines these questions with regard to English translation of Japanese literature, comparing two translations of Yasunari Kawabata's short story 'Izu no Odoriko' as a case study.
Possessing variation: age and inalienability related variables in the possessive constructions of two Australian mixed languages

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The paper examines attributive possessive constructions in two north Australian mixed languages, Gurindji Kriol (GK) and Light Warlpiri (LW). In both languages possessive constructions are drawn from the source languages, Gurindji, Warlpiri, Kriol and English, and there is variation within and between languages. The range of possessive forms available in the two languages are presented and factors contributing to the variation within each language are discussed, including age of speaker, the remnants of an in/alienability distinction, and the source language of possessive forms and head NPs.
Possession in South Pacific contact languages
Creators: name: Siegel, Jeff
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper examines possessive marking in Pidgin Fijian as an example of morphological simplicity in a restricted pidgin. This is attributed to a process of simplification or lack of development in early second language acquisition. Here the only effect of the substrate languages appears to be in constituent ordering. The paper then goes on to look at morphological expansion in possessive marking in an expanded pidgin (or according to some, a Creole): Melanesian Pidgin (MP). This is attributed to functional transfer from the substrate languages in extended second language use. While many core features of the Central Eastern Oceanic substrate are found in MP the overt marking of alienable versus inalienable possession is not. One explanation is that this feature is "functionally expendable" or "inessential" in language (McWhorter 2002). However, the paper argues that the absence of formal marking of the alienable-inalienable distinction in MP can be best accounted for by availability constraints that prevented transfer of this feature at an earlier stage of development.
Indonesian speech act realisation in face-threatening situations

description: While clarity and explicitness in responding to a request are highly desirable, there are conventionally indirect strategies people use when responding. This indirectness cannot be deemed as always indicating impoliteness as different people have different strategies in giving a response; it is determined by the cultural norms and values in which they are brought up. In this paper, we will look at the strategies Indonesians use when responding to a request at times when their circumstances pressure them to make refusals. The study reported here found that apart from giving refusals, in which indirect refusal strategies are preferred, in situations where the ranking of imposition of a request is high, they tend to accept the request. It appears that their strategies of responding are closely related to their strong willingness to maintain the (existing) harmony between them and their interlocutors.
Novice and expert writing in the medical sciences: report of a program of language assistance for a PhD medical student
Creators: name: Moore, Tim
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper reports findings from a program of language assistance for a PhD medical student. The program took the form of a comparative study of the student's draft of a research article, and her supervisor's rewrite of it. The linguistic framework for the analysis was based on the "functional grammar" of Halliday (1985) and the move analysis of Swales (1981). Observed differences in the transitivity and thematic structure in the two texts suggested a greater level of self-consciousness on the part of the student in the research process. The value of this comparative approach, both as a tool for genre analysis and as a pedagogical method, is considered at the end of the paper.
The EU language policy and interpreting/translation practices: the case of Croatia's application for EU membership
Creators: name: Hlavac, Jim
Publisher: name: Monash University

description: The EU is considered by most to have exemplary language and interpreting/translating (I/T) policies: EU parliamentarians may use their own language when speaking in parliament and the 20 official languages of all 25 member states have equal status in regard to I/T services. This paper traces official EU and Croatian policies in regard to language choice and examines some of the translation practices employed by both the EU and Croatia. So far, bi-directional translation practices have involved a language variety that is unmistakeably Croatian and one of the EU's 'working languages', usually English. But interpreting practices have not always followed the same pattern and EU-employed interpreters do not always interpret into Croatian. There is some evidence to suggest that the form and name of the language in EU-Croatia contacts may not always remain uniquely Croatian. If Croatian continues to be employed, this may be a consequence not only of principles applied by EU (or Croatian) bureaucrats. Rather, it may in some part be due to the absence of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia-Montenegro as co-applicants for EU membership. Thus, amongst the rhetoric of respecting member states' language designations and most Croats' adherence to the term 'Croatian' as their native language it is the absence of Bosnian/Bosniak and Serbian (and possibly Montenegrin) as closely related codes which may co-determine the EU's I/T practices just as much as its official language policies.

The expression of possession in Wumpurrorni English, Tennant Creek

Year: 2017

description: We discuss the expression of possession in Wumpurrami English (WE), a variety spoken in the Tennant Creek area of the Northern Territory. We illustrate this from a data-set of 319 utterances containing possessive constructions (drawn from 14 video-recordings of conversations between care-givers and children). We show how the WE constructions relate to those of the source languages, Warumungu, Standard Australian English (SAE), and the Creole that developed in northern Australia late in the nineteenth century. The interaction between these sources in the development of WE is complex. Three notable features are examined: the use of a possessor clitic whose form is taken from Warumungu, but whose syntactic behaviour is taken from the SAE Genitive clitic, the use of a post-nominal possessor as in Warumungu, and the extension of the possessor clitic to the possession of inalienable things such as body-parts. A body-part possessor construction appears with a wider range of verbs than in standard Australian English, but narrower than that in traditional Warumungu. We show the wide variation in the use of possessive constructions, and suggest that relevant factors are the speaker's age, code-switching, and the context of use.

The face-saving effects of metacomments: an analysis of interruptions in a phone-in radio programme
Creators: name: Chrambach, Susanne
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In this paper a phone-in radio programme is analysed regarding interruptions.In the analysed data, the moderator frequently pushes callers to be short. The callers however seek to convey their message and find it difficult to restrict themselves. Consequently, the moderator must interrupt and cuts them off. Interruptions furthermore occur in the course of the discussion when speakers are competing for the floor. The focus of this analysis is to see how these interruptions are carried out. To look at the turn-taking, a methodology developed by Conversation Analysts is employed. Furthermore, Brown and Levinson’s theory of politeness is drawn upon following their line of argument that “turn-taking violations (interrupting, ignoring selection of other speakers, not responding to prior turns) are all FTAs (face-threatening acts) in themselves” (Brown & Levinson 1987:243). The analysis shows that, in the given data, the interrupting speaker accounts for these face-threatening acts by using metacomments with a face-saving effect. Thus, the face-threatening acts are carried out on-record with redressive action.
To switch or not to switch: examining the code-switching practices of teachers of French as a foreign language
Creators: name: Gearon, Margaret
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In classes where French is taught as a foreign/second language in Victorian secondary schools, a study of native and non-native speaking teachers' classroom discourse shows a preponderance of the use of English as the unmarked language. The second language, French, is used as the marked language, that is, it is rarely used purposefully, to communicate an authentic message; this, in spite of the recognised value of comprehensible input and immersion situations for successful second language learning/acquisition. However, the performance of students at the final oral examination tends to belie any adverse effects of such an approach. This study examines the code-switching practices of six teachers of French as a foreign language and attempts to describe what is actually happening in an average lesson in a Victorian secondary school classroom. It considers the development of a model for analysing the data in the light of the large amount of teacher monologue and seeks to develop an understanding of how the code-switching occurs.

In this article, I will demonstrate that it is possible to provide some new elements as far as the study of the clausal connector is concerned from a precise analysis of the clause that precedes for and the one that follows it. This approach will also enable me to determine if the connective belongs to the coordinating or subordinating conjunctions.

description: Quantum information processing faces a significant hurdle: noise. Different noise sources induce varying errors in quantum operations depending on the underlying dynamics. To gain a deeper understanding of these error mechanisms, we introduce the concept of Quantum Error Evolution Diagrams (QEED). These QEEDs establish a dual correspondence between driven noisy quantum dynamics and geometric space curves, offering quantitative geometric metrics to assess the severity of these errors. This theory provides a framework for designing universal robust quantum gates to correct the errors induced by generic noises. Furthermore, we present a protocol for constructing a universal set of single- and two-qubit robust quantum gates. These gates, designed with simple and smooth control pulses of arbitrary length, achieve fidelities exceeding 99.99\% across a wide range of noise strengths. This geometric approach offers significant advantages over existing methods. Overall, our work provides new insights into the geometric nature of noisy quantum dynamics and paves the way for the development of approaches to dynamically correct quantum errors.

description: For a bounded set $Ω\subset \mathbb R^N$ and a perturbation $V \in C^1(\overlineΩ)$, we analyze the concentration behavior of a blow-up sequence of positive solutions to \[ -Δu_ε+ εV = N(N-2) u_ε^\frac{N+2}{N-2} \] for dimensions $N \geq 4$, which are non-critical in the sense of the Brezis--Nirenberg problem.
 For the general case of multiple concentration points, we prove that concentration points are isolated and characterize the vector of these points as a critical point of a suitable function derived from the Green's function of $-Δ$ on $Ω$. Moreover, we give the leading order expression of the concentration speed. This paper, with a recent one by the authors (arXiv:2208.12337) in dimension $N = 3$, gives a complete picture of blow-up phenomena in the Brezis-Nirenberg framework.

Language contact interaction and possessive variation
Creators: name: McConvell, Patrick
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper focuses on contact interaction in the development of possessive constructions. In contrast to 'copying' approaches to structural diffusion, contact interaction approaches recognise that internal and external models interact, often to produce innovation and variation. Some examples of this in possessive constructions from early English and pidgins and Creoles are explored, including the question of 'for' and its equivalents becoming postposed including in Australian Creoles. Two theories of how adoption of structures from external sources can be staged and modified, that of Carol Myers-Scotton (the 4-M Model) and Ross's Metatypy model are compared with examples from possessives, as well as Aikhenvald's treatment of possessive construction diffusion in the Amazon. There appears to be common ground between these approaches, and the contact interaction approach in general.
Possessive constructions in language contact settings

description: This paper surveys data on possessive constructions in a number of languages that have been involved in contact-induced language change. I have structured the material following the three-way division introduced by Thomason and Kaufmann (1988), distinguishing between shift, maintenance, and new creation scenarios. It turns out that the properties of possessive constructions are affected in different ways in these different scenarios. Finally, I try to draw some more general conclusions from the observations made in discussing these different scenarios.
The composite matrix language in mixed possessive constructions in Ewe-English codeswitching
Creators: name: Amuzu, Evershed Kwasi
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In Ewe (spoken in Ghana, West Africa), relational and non-relational possessum nominals distribute differently in possessive constructions. Relational possessum nominals follow their possessor NPs directly (as dada 'mother' does in John dada 'John's mother') while non-relational possessum nominals require a possessive linker (fe) in-between them and their possessor NPs (as avu 'dog' does in John fe avu ']ohn’s dog'). This morphosyntactic distinction is, however, not applicable in Ewe-English codeswitching: both English relational and non-relational possessum nominals occur after fe in mixed adnominal possessive constructions (APCs). Interestingly, too, no distinction is made between the two types of English possesssum nominals, i.e. those that occur as complements of's (e.g. mother and dog in John's mother/dog) and those that come before of (e.g. top in top of the desk and Queen in Queen of England). They all follow fe in mixed APCs (and neither's nor-of is acceptable in the mixed APCs). The paper's orientation is clearly theoretical. Working within Myers- Scotton's (2002) framework, I argue that a Composite Matrix Language— in which English and Ewe play definable roles—frames the APCs. A crucial point is that the morpheme distribution patterns defy explanation in terms of surface structure configurations, a point I demonstrate extensively in Section 2 with Poplack's framework for analysing mixed constituents. Section 3 is devoted to exploring the Composite Matrix Language account.
32 years on and still triggering: psycholinguistic processes as motivation for switching amongst Croatian-English bilinguals
Creators: name: Hlavac, Jim
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper investigates the phenomenon of "unconscious" or "unintended" switching between languages - triggering - on the basis of accessing items - trigger words - whose language-specific membership may be ambiguous. Triggering as a phenomenon in some examples of bilingual speech was first noticed and explored by Michael Clyne in the first of his many books, Transference and Triggering (1967), and has been subsequently problematised by many researchers m the field of language contact. A linguistic corpus based on taped interviews with 100 second-generation Croatian-English bilinguals provides the bilingual speech sample in which triggered switching is examined. While the relative number of instances of triggered switching is small, two categories of triggering are distinguished - consequential and anticipational, while two productive categories of trigger words are identified - proper nouns and English-origin lexical transfers (almost always nouns). The data suggest that items whose semantic-referential values are similar cross-linguistically are more likely to offer potential "cross-over points" leading to "unconscious" and "unimpeded" switching.

This paper argues that conversational analysis tools alone are not sufficient to examine graffiti, but that a framework which incorporates these is worth pursuing.

Special attention will be paid to the use of certain hedging constructions which may be explained not so much in terms of politeness, but more as an attempt to hide communicative uncertainty. Cursory reference will also be made to face saving strategies.
Myth of the linguistic lie detector

description: This paper is the result of investigations into the features of a mythology of police interviewing techniques and its relationship with current law enforcement practices. An investigation of the SCAN (Scientific Content Analysis) technique as promoted on the website of the Laboratory for Scientific Interrogation was initiated in order to discover the way in which texts aimed at law enforcement professionals contribute to or form a part of the network of beliefs, assumptions and understandings which constitute a mythology about police interviewing. This paper suggests that critical discourse analysis is an appropriate approach to the policy issues surrounding police interviewing techniques, as it provides the possibility of exposing the mythology at an institution-wide level.

Considering that masking is a kind of corruption, in this work we explore a more general denoising autoencoder for point cloud learning (Point-DAE) by investigating more types of corruptions beyond masking. Specifically, we degrade the point cloud with certain corruptions as input, and learn an encoder-decoder model to reconstruct the original point cloud from its corrupted version. Three corruption families (\ie, density/masking, noise, and affine transformation) and a total of fourteen corruption types are investigated with traditional non-Transformer encoders. Besides the popular masking corruption, we identify another effective corruption family, \ie, affine transformation. The affine transformation disturbs all points globally, which is complementary to the masking corruption where some local regions are dropped. We also validate the effectiveness of affine transformation corruption with the Transformer backbones, where we decompose the reconstruction of the complete point cloud into the reconstructions of detailed local patches and rough global shape, alleviating the position leakage problem in the reconstruction. Extensive experiments on tasks of object classification, few-shot learning, robustness testing, part segmentation, and 3D object detection validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

description: The Discontinuous Galerkin time-domain method is well suited for adaptive algorithms to solve the time-domain Maxwell's equations and depends on robust and economically computable drivers. Adaptive algorithms utilize local indicators to dynamically identify regions and assign spatial operators of varying accuracy in the computational domain. This work identifies requisite properties of adaptivity drivers and develops two methods, a feature-based method guided by gradients of local field, and another utilizing the divergence error often found in numerical solution to the time-domain Maxwell's equations. Results for canonical testcases of electromagnetic scattering are presented, highlighting key characteristics of both methods, and their computational performance.

Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper proposes a new coded modulation scheme for reliable transmission of short data packets at very low signal-to-noise ratio, combining cyclic code shift keying modulation and non-binary polar coding. We consider non-binary polar codes defined over Galois fields, and propose a new design methodology, aimed at optimizing the choice of the kernel coefficients. Numerical results show that the system performance is close to the achievable limits in the finite blocklength regime.
The guilty silence: the discursive implications of non-response in a police interview

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Police evidentiary interviews with suspects provide a source of institutional language data in which the contributions of participants may be critical to their future, in the context of a subsequent court case. An analysis of the interactional strategies of police interview participants demonstrates that the contributions of the suspect are highly constrained in a number of ways, including allowable turn types and the management of topic initiations. If assumptions about 'preferred responses' based on ordinary conversation are used to interpret non-response in this particular institutional setting, then these interactionally restricted contributions, which will be presented as evidence, may be susceptible to adverse inference in a way that is unlikely to be addressed by the judicial system. This paper concludes that discourse analysis can present a case against the erosion of the defendant's rights, in particular the right to silence.

Errors in pronunciation of consonants by learners of English as a foreign language whose first languages are Indonesian, Gayo and Acehnese

description: This paper reports on a study investigating the errors in pronunciation of consonants made by three groups of EFL learners, native speakers of Indonesian, Gayo and Acehnese, and possible explanations of these errors. There is a limited amount of previous research on pronunciation errors made by Indonesian EFL learners, and none for Gayo and Acehnese learners. In this study consonantal phoneme pronunciation error data was collected using four different types of tasks, and analyzed using broad IPA phonetic transcription. The findings indicate that for these languages, segmental errors are largely limited to final stops [p] [b] [t] [d] [k] [g], final sibilants [s] [z] [f] [3], initial and final affricates [tf] [d3] and interdentals [9] [6]. The most common error realizations were elision ([o]), devoicing (e.g. [b] realized as [p]) and lack of release (["•]). The error realization data did not completely match that of previous research for Indonesian learners. In explaining the data, both transfer and developmental and other factors and their interaction appear to be at work, as well as factors such as task-type and level of spontaneity. The study points to many areas of further research including factors influencing interlanguage phonology such as knowledge of more than one language, and more complete error analyses using arrow phonetic transcription.
Flocking of two unfriendly species: The two-species Vicsek model

description: We consider the two-species Vicsek model (TSVM) consisting of two kinds of self-propelled particles, A and B, that tend to align with particles from the same species and to antialign with the other. The model shows a flocking transition that is reminiscent of the original Vicsek model: it has a liquid-gas phase transition and displays micro-phase-separation in the coexistence region where multiple dense liquid bands propagate in a gaseous background. The interesting features of the TSVM are the existence of two kinds of bands, one composed of mainly A particles and one mainly of B particles, the appearance of two dynamical states in the coexistence region: the PF (parallel flocking) state in which all bands of the two species propagate in the same direction, and the APF (antiparallel flocking) state in which the bands of species A and species B move in opposite directions. When PF and APF states exist in the low-density part of the coexistence region they perform stochastic transitions from one to the other. The system size dependence of the transition frequency and dwell times show a pronounced crossover that is determined by the ratio of the band width and the longitudinal system size. Our work paves the way for studying multispecies flocking models with heterogeneous alignment interactions.
Latvian language maintenance in Melbourne: a "core value" approach
Creators: name: Woods, Anya Victoria
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper reports on selected findings from research carried out in 1996, and focuses on the language attitudes and practices of those involved with the Latvian Saturday School in Melbourne. The framework for the analysis is based on Smolicz's "cultural core value" theory. Findings revealed the Latvian language to clearly be the core value amongst participants, thereby supporting findings of previous studies. Language maintenance was found overall to be of lesser importance in reality, based on findings concerning language use practices in participants' homes. Findings suggest that both imagination and sensitivity will be required to ensure the survival of Latvian in the future, given the changing profile of ethnic communities in Australia.

Differences in the structure of conversations between a father-child and mother-child dyad: a preliminary investigation
Creators: name: Xafis, Vicki

description: A father-child and a mother-child conversation were analysed based on Stech's (1982) framework in order to determine whether there were structural differences between the two conversations. The child subject was a male, 3:7 years of age. Structural complexity, topic initiation, topic maintenance and development were the key areas examined. The father-child conversation displayed greater structural complexity and a greater balance in contributions between father and child. This conversation also displayed greater cohesion than the mother-child conversation. Conversely, in the mother-child conversation, the mother had greater control of the conversation and introduced most of the topics as a result of which the child contributed less than in the father-child conversation. These differences can be attributed to speaker style, gender-based linguistic differences and parental roles.
