“…Recent work has illustrated that the linguistic behavior of ethnic groups must be situated in the local sociohistorical positioning of those groups (Wong & Hall-Lew 2014;King 2018). What it means to be a member of an ethnic group varies in place and time, as do the ways that ethnicized individuals orient towards or away from particular places, which can have consequences for linguistic behavior (Dodsworth & Kohn 2012;Wagner, Mason, Nesbitt, Pevan, & Savage 2016).…”

“…Canonically, TRAP fronts and raises, LOT fronts, THOUGHT fronts and lowers, STRUT backs, and DRESS and KIT back and lower in the vowel space. (Wagner et al 2016;King 2018). Features of the NCS can be recruited to index ethnoreligious identity (Knack 1991;Samant 2010) and other group affiliations (Eckert 1989).…”

“…More broadly, previous research has demonstrated that ethnicized individuals are not monolithic in their engagement with place-linked features common to local white speakers across regions (e.g. Becker & Cogshall 2009;Wong & Hall-Lew 2014;King 2018). The current study suggests that we must also consider how members of a given ethnic or ethnoreligious group might use linguistic resources to index locally relevant positionalities within a given region, as well as how the use of elements of the ethnolinguistic repertoire interface, through bricolage, with features shared with members of other local ethnic groups.…”

Research on Jewish English in the United States has drawn on a set of ideologies linking the Jewish ethnolinguistic repertoire to New York City English, but less is known about how these ideologies interface with the social meanings of regional features in the communities outside New York in which these speakers live. Through meta-linguistic commentary and acoustic analyses drawn from sociolinguistic interviews with white Jewish and Catholic Chicagoans, we find that meta-linguistic ideologies associate Jewish speakers with New York City English and white Catholic speakers with ‘local’ Chicago features. However, in actual production, these linguistic differences appear to be driven by neighborhood rather than ethnoreligious identity alone. We argue that while meta-linguistic commentary may re-circulate broader linguistic ideologies, the uptake of elements of the ethnolinguistic repertoire may depend on the social meanings of those features in the local community more broadly, including class- and place-linked variation.

“…During the development of coreference resolution approach phase, many different types of coreferences are identified and analyzed (Delmonte 2002;Fischer 2015;Hou et al 2013;King and Lewis 2018;Saeboe 1996;Van Deemter and Kibble 1999). Different types often require different techniques to resolve.…”

Linguistically aware evaluation of coreference resolution from the perspective of higher-level applications

Coreference resolution is an important part of natural language processing used in machine translation, semantic search, and various other information retrieval and understanding systems. One of the challenges in this field is an evaluation of resolution approaches. There are many different metrics proposed, but most of them rely on certain assumptions, like equivalence between different mentions of the same discourse-world entity, and do not account for overrepresentation of certain types of coreferences present in the evaluation data. In this paper, a new coreference evaluation strategy that focuses on linguistic and semantic information is presented that can address some of these shortcomings. Evaluation model was developed in the broader context of developing coreference resolution capabilities for Lithuanian language; therefore, the experiment was also carried out using Lithuanian language resources, but the proposed evaluation strategy is not language-dependent.
