In order to solve the problems of English education in the form of a short video, a research method of English intelligent education based on a short video recommendation algorithm was proposed. The recommendation system is a branch of artificial intelligence data mining, which improves the efficiency of short videos f…

Aiming at the problem of low accuracy of traditional algorithm model, an intelligent recognition model of business English translation based on an improved GLR algorithm is proposed. Through this algorithm, the automatic sentence recognition technology is established, and according to the characteristics of business En…

Number-related language input has been shown to influence children's number word acquisition and mathematical ability. Significant differences exist between how Mandarin Chinese speaking parents and monolingual English-speaking parents use numeric language in speech to children.

Previous research in child language shows that many aspects of language acquisition are frequency-linked. This study tests whether input or usage frequency predicts the order of acquisition and accuracy of a bilingual Greek-English child's English possessives. The child was followed longitudinally from age 2;6 to 3;11.…

Thirty-two Hispanic speakers of English were evenly divided into two groups based on whether or not their initial learning of English began prior to, or after the age of 12 years. Each group had an even number of males (16) and females (16). The subjects were recorded producing a protocol of 18 basic speech syllables.…

Feature extraction and Chinese translation of Internet-of-Things English terms are the basis of many natural language processing. Its main purpose is to extract rich semantic information from unstructured texts to allow computers to further calculate and process them to meet different types of NLP-based tasks. However,…

We investigate whether acoustic cue weightings are transferred from the native language to the second language [research question 1 (RQ1)], how cue weightings change with increasing second-language proficiency (RQ2), and whether individual cues are used independently or together in the second language (RQ3). Vowel redu…

Past research has shown that commonly reported cultural group disparities in health-related indices may be attributable to culturally mediated differences in the interpretation of translated survey questions and response scales. This problem may be exacerbated when administering single-item survey questions, which typi…

This study used a brief vocabulary training paradigm to examine two factors for cross-language transfer: how similar the first language (L1) is to the second language (L2) and L1-L2 proficiency levels. Fifty-four sequential bilingual children (aged 6-8) with similar L2 English proficiency levels were assigned to three…
