Summary of findings --References --IndexThere is a long overdue need to address the sharp philosophical and methodological divide between formal/generative and functional/discourse perspectives in contemporary theoretical linguistics and L2 acquisition. Language structure in general, and the use of subjects in particular, is dependent upon multiple syntactic, lexico-semantic, and discourse-pragmatic factors. Therefore, the study of L2 acquisition must be equally multi-faceted. This volume examines data from over twenty years of research in the L2 acquisition of Spanish subjects from several theoretical perspectives, including generative approaches, processing theory, discourse-pragmatics and sociolinguistic-variationist models. By so doing, the author seeks to fulfill two principal objectives: the first is to determine the many linguistic and extra-linguistic properties of Spanish subjects that constrain their acquisition and use; and the second is to establish common ground among researchers from varied theoretical persuasions in acquisition studies. The author argues throughout the volume that central to native speaker use and L2 acquisition are universal properties ranging from highly specific syntactic principles to more general characteristics of human cognition and a range of these properties is responsible for language acquisition. An examination of the diverse body of research that considers a wider scope of universal properties of language can thus bring us closer to a unified account of the L2 acquisition of Spanish subject expression.Studies on language acquisition ;Volume 50.Spanish languageStudy and teachingEnglish speakersSpanish languageSubjectless constructionsSpanish languagePronounsSecond language acquisitionLanguage Acquisition.Spanish Grammar.Spanish languageStudy and teachingEnglish speakers.Spanish languageSubjectless constructions.Spanish languagePronouns.Second language acquisition.468.0071IM 1495BVBrvkLubbers Quesada Margaret1722858MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807297803321The L2 acquisition of Spanish subjects4123610UNINA03946nam 22006255 450 991050263920332120251113202421.03-030-76974-710.1007/978-3-030-76974-1(CKB)4100000012026586(MiAaPQ)EBC6727046(Au-PeEL)EBL6727046(OCoLC)1268326111(PPN)258054654(DE-He213)978-3-030-76974-1(EXLCZ)99410000001202658620210915d2021 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMultivariate Data Analysis on Matrix Manifolds (with Manopt) /by Nickolay Trendafilov, Michele Gallo1st ed. 2021.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2021.1 online resource (467 pages)Springer Series in the Data Sciences,2365-56823-030-76973-9 Introduction -- Matrix analysis and differentiation -- Matrix manifolds in MDA -- Principal component analysis (PCA) -- Factor analysis (FA) -- Procrustes analysis (PA) -- Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) -- Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) -- Common principal components (CPC) -- Metric multidimensional scaling (MDS) and related methods -- Data analysis on simplexes.This graduate-level textbook aims to give a unified presentation and solution of several commonly used techniques for multivariate data analysis (MDA). Unlike similar texts, it treats the MDA problems as optimization problems on matrix manifolds defined by the MDA model parameters, allowing them to be solved using (free) optimization software Manopt. The book includes numerous in-text examples as well as Manopt codes and software guides, which can be applied directly or used as templates for solving similar and new problems. The first two chapters provide an overview and essential background for studying MDA, giving basic information and notations. Next, it considers several sets of matrices routinely used in MDA as parameter spaces, along with their basic topological properties. A brief introduction to matrix (Riemannian) manifolds and optimization methods on them with Manopt complete the MDA prerequisite. The remaining chapters study individual MDA techniques in depth. The number ofexercises complement the main text with additional information and occasionally involve open and/or challenging research questions. Suitable fields include computational statistics, data analysis, data mining and data science, as well as theoretical computer science, machine learning and optimization. It is assumed that the readers have some familiarity with MDA and some experience with matrix analysis, computing, and optimization. .Springer Series in the Data Sciences,2365-5682MathematicsData processingGlobal analysis (Mathematics)Manifolds (Mathematics)Computer scienceMathematicsComputational Mathematics and Numerical AnalysisGlobal Analysis and Analysis on ManifoldsMathematical Applications in Computer ScienceMathematicsData processing.Global analysis (Mathematics).Manifolds (Mathematics).Computer scienceMathematics.Computational Mathematics and Numerical Analysis.Global Analysis and Analysis on Manifolds.Mathematical Applications in Computer Science.519.535Trendafilov Nickolay848301Gallo MicheleMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910502639203321Multivariate data analysis on matrix manifolds2880339UNINA
