Smith, Andrew D.M. 2010 Protolanguage reconstructed The Emergence of Protolanguage: Holophrasis vs compositionality, Arbib, Michael A. and Derek Bickerton (eds.), pp. 99–115 | Article

One important difference between existing accounts of protolanguage lies in their assumptions on the semantic complexity of protolinguistic utterances. I bring evidence about the nature of linguistic communication to bear on the plausibility of these assumptions, and show that communication is… read more

Höfler, Stefan H. and Andrew D.M. Smith 2009 The pre-linguistic basis of grammaticalisation: A unified approach to metaphor and reanalysis Studies in Language 33:4, pp. 886–909 | Article

Traditionally, grammaticalisation has been described as being based on phenomena specific to language such as metaphorical extension or reanalysis. This characterisation is somewhat in contrast to claims that grammaticalisation is involved in the much more general process of the initial emergence… read more

Conditional random fields are state-of-the-art models for sequencing tasks such as named entity recognition. However, being globally conditioned, they have a tendency to overfit to a greater extent than other sequencing models. We introduce an approach to combat this overfitting called a… read more
