LR property of non-well-formed scales

This article studies generated scales having exactly three different step sizes within the language of algebraic combinatorics on words. These scales and their corresponding step-patterns are called non well formed. We prove that they can be naturally inserted in the Christoffel tree of well-formed words. Our primary focus in this study is on the left- and right-Lyndon factorization of these words. We will characterize the non-well-formed words for which both factorizations coincide. We say that these words satisfy the LR property and show that the LR property is satisfied exactly for half of the non-well-formed words. These are symmetrically distributed in the extended Christoffel tree. Moreover, we find a surprising connection between the LR property and the Christoffel duality. Finally, we prove that there are infinitely many Christoffel–Lyndon words among the set of non-well-formed words and thus there are infinitely many generated scales having as step-pattern a Christoffel–Lyndon word.

Examining the Complex Relationships of Early Intervention on Language and Psychosocial Development in Families Facing Multiple Risks with a Focus on Children of Hispanic Immigrants

Abundant research has shown that poverty has negative influences on young child academic and psychosocial development, and unfortunately, disparities in school readiness between low and high income children can be seen as early the first year of life. The largest federal early care and education intervention for these vulnerable children is Early Head Start (EHS). To diminish these disparate child outcomes, EHS seeks to provide community based flexible programming for infants and toddlers and their families. Given how relatively recent these programs have been offered, little is known about the nuances of how EHS impacts infant and toddler language and psychosocial development. Using a framework of Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) this paper had 5 goals: 1) to characterize the associations between domain specific and cumulative risk and child outcomes 2) to validate and explore these risk-outcome associations separately for Children of Hispanic immigrants (COHIs), 3) to explore relationships among family characteristics, multiple environmental factors, and dosage patterns in different EHS program types, 4) to examine the relationship between EHS dosage and child outcomes, and 5) to examine how EHS compliance impacts child internalizing and externalizing behaviors and emerging language abilities. Results of the current study showed that risks were differentially related to child outcomes. Poor maternal mental health was related to child internalizing and externalizing behaviors, but not related to emerging child language skills. Although child language skills were not related to maternal mental health, they were related to economic hardship. Additionally, parent level Spanish use and heritage orientation were associated with positive child outcomes. Results also showed that these relationships differed when COHIs and children with native-born parents were examined separately. Further, unique patterns emerged for EHS program use, for example families who participated in home-based care were less likely to comply with EHS attendance requirements. These findings provide tangible suggestions for EHS stakeholders: namely, the need to develop effective programming that targets engagement for diverse families enrolled in EHS programs.

Machine learning techniques for automatic opinion detection in non-traditional textual genres

This paper presents a preliminary study in which Machine Learning experiments applied to Opinion Mining in blogs have been carried out. We created and annotated a blog corpus in Spanish using EmotiBlog. We evaluated the utility of the features labelled firstly carrying out experiments with combinations of them and secondly using the feature selection techniques, we also deal with several problems, such as the noisy character of the input texts, the small size of the training set, the granularity of the annotation scheme and the language object of our study, Spanish, with less resource than English. We obtained promising results considering that it is a preliminary study.

Child Language Brokering: cause ed effetti della mediazione linguistica e culturale svolta dai bambini immigrati

Il presente elaborato si pone l’obiettivo di mostrare e analizzare il fenomeno sempre più diffuso del Child Language Brokering (CLB). Si tratta di una scelta dettata non solo dall’attualità dell’argomento, tenuto conto dei grandi flussi migratori che hanno caratterizzato di recente lo scenario europeo, ma anche da motivi di carattere personale. Nelle pagine seguenti mi occuperò di descrivere la situazione all’interno della quale questo fenomeno si sviluppa, i motivi per i quali il bambino riveste il ruolo di language broker, in che misura questo lo condiziona a livello emotivo e come cambiano le sue relazioni all’interno della famiglia e con i propri pari. Successivamente analizzerò cosa significa realmente mediare e quali sono le strategie che questi piccoli mediatori adottano per svolgere questa attività. Nell’ultimo capitolo mi soffermerò sull’impatto che tale ruolo può avere sull’identità e sulle conseguenze che comporta il vivere tra due culture.
