Word order effect in collocation processing (2021)
Journal Article
Collocations are words associated because of their frequent co-occurrence, which makes them predictable and leads to facilitated processing. While there have been suggestions that collocations are stored as unanalysed chunks, other researchers disagr... Read More about Word order effect in collocation processing.

A generalization of a theorem of White (2021)
Journal Article
An m-dimensional simplex ∆ in Rm is called empty lattice simplex if ∆ ∩ Zm is exactly the set of vertices of ∆. A theorem of White states that if m = 3 then, up to an affine unimodular transformation of the lattice Zm, any empty lattice simplex ∆ ⊂ R... Read More about A generalization of a theorem of White.
