A unified LOD model for river network and DEM based on an improved 3D_DP algorithm

The level of detail (LOD) modelling of vector and terrain data is individual, resulting in geometric and topological inconsistencies in simplification processes. The three dimension Douglas Peucker (3D_DP)algorithm can realize gradual discrete point selection through threshold, which is mainly used in DEM synthesis, and its simplified process is very suitable for the dynamic establishment of massive data sets. A new LOD modeling method based on 3D_DP algorithm is proposed to simplify the consistency of river network vector elements and DEM in this paper. The specific steps are as follows: Firstly, the “Bending Adjustment Index (BAI)” is introduced to improve the 3D_DP algorithm, called the improved 3D_DP algorithm; Secondly, the DEM data is extracted into a 3D discrete point dataset, and the river line vector data is also converted into a discrete point dataset, assigned with elevation attributes, and merges with the DEM’s 3D discrete points. The merged point datasets are equenced based on the importance of each point, which are computed by the improved 3D_DP algorithm. The order of deleting points is determined by the sequence and the corresponding model spatial errors are calculated with the deletion of points. Then, the DEM’s 3D discrete points are constructed a Delaunay network with the river line as a mandatory constraint condition. The required triangulation is called in real time with the change of sight distance depending on the simple correspondence between screen projection error and model space error, and the unified LOD model for river line vector and DEM is established. The results show that the river’s overall shape and the terrain’s main features can be reserved under the same simplified factor based on the improved 3D_DP algorithm. The unified LOD model for the river network and DEM is feasible under the importance sequence of merged point datasets by the improved 3D_DP algorithm. Under the proper operation of data blocking, the rendering frame rate can meet practical application requirements.

Phonological development of children with cochlear implants

ABSTRACT Phonological processes are examples of normal simplified articulation seen in all children during the language and speech sound acquisition phase, and their frequency decreases and disappears with age. They are of concern when they are used beyond the expected time frames or when the simplification processes do not follow the typical substitutions. The aim of this study was to examine the phonological development and consonant acquisition of Turkish-speaking children with CI and compare the results with normative data. Comparisons were made according to the duration of CI use and also according to the age of CI. Therefore, 52 participants were analysed, first divided into 4 groups according to duration of CI use and then into 2 groups according to age of CI. Phonology skills were evaluated with the Bankson-Bernthal Phonology Test. In children with CI, 1373 consonant production errors were detected. There were 28 phonological processes corresponding to these errors. The most common phonological processes were Initial Consonant Deletion, Cluster Reduction, Final Consonant Deletion, Vowel Lengthening, Devoicing, Assimilation, Nasalization and Dentalization. The most errors occurred in fricative and voiced sounds, and the fewest errors occurred in bilabial consonants (/b,/p,/m/). This study demonstrated that CI performed before the age of three years and continued use of CI over an extended period of time have beneficial impacts on the development of phonological skills. This study is thought to enhance the existing research on the acquisition of consonants and phonological development in Turkish-speaking children with CI, a topic that currently lacks sufficient information.

Parallel multi-criteria decision analysis for sub-national prioritization of zoonoses and animal diseases in Africa: The case of Cameroon.

The use of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) for disease prioritization at the sub-national level in sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) is rare. In this research, we contextualized MCDA for parallel prioritization of endemic zoonoses and animal diseases in The Adamawa and North regions of Cameroon. MCDA was associated to categorical principal component analysis (CATPCA), and two-step cluster analysis. Six and seven domains made of 17 and 19 criteria (out of 70) respectively were selected by CATPCA for the prioritization of zoonoses and animal diseases, respectively. The most influencing domains were "public health" for zoonoses and "control and prevention" for animal diseases. Twenty-seven zoonoses and 40 animal diseases were ranked and grouped in three clusters. Sensitivity analysis resulted in high correlation between complete models and reduced models showing the robustness of the simplification processes. The tool used in this study can be applied to prioritize endemic zoonoses and transboundary animal diseases in SSA at the sub-national level and upscaled at the national and regional levels. The relevance of MCDA is high because of its contextualization process and participatory nature enabling better operationalization of disease prioritization outcomes in the context of African countries or other low and middle-income countries.

Comparing Speech Production Errors of 3 to 5 Year Old Bengali Children with Cleft Lip and/or Palate in Two Contexts: Word Naming And Sentence Repetition

Research suggests various standardized assessment tools to collect and analyze the speech of the individual with cleft lip and/or palate (CLP). Despite the importance of developing an assessment framework for the growing CLP population, documentation on Bengali cleft speech is limited. This study aims to investigate the phonetic differences that happen in the speech sound production of 3 to 5-year-old Bengali-speaking CLP children in two different contexts: single word and sentence repetition. It also aims to evaluate the effects of these two speech assessment tools in those children’s phonological evaluation to identify the proper evaluation for CLP individuals. In total, 12 Bengali-speaking CLP children from 3 to 5 years old participated in each test. Thus, data has been collected from a sample of 24 with 79-word stimuli. Two types of speech materials were used: single-word naming and sentence repetition tasks. The samples were analyzed using narrow phonetic transcription for targeted speech items. The percentage of consonants correct (PCC), percentage of correct places (PCP), percentage of correct manners (PCM), as well as phonological simplification processes (PSP) were assessed from the samples. Results showed a range of word structures and place-manner features produced by CLP children in both tasks. Also, the PCC, PCP, PCM, and PSP results were considerably less accurate in the sentence repetition task, suggesting that the task may provide a more accurate assessment of the CLP population.

A new community detection method for simplified networks by combining structure and attribute information

Complex networks have a large number of nodes and edges, which prevents the understanding of network structure and the discovery of valid information. This paper proposes a new community detection method for simplified networks. First, a similarity measure is defined, the path and attribute information can reflect the potential relationship between nodes that are not directly connected. Based on the defined similarity, an Importance Score(IS) is constructed to show the importance of each node, it reflects the density around each node. Then, the simplification processes can be realized on complex networks. On the simplified network, this paper proposes a novel community detection method, in which the community structure of the simplified network is detected. The experiments were conducted on real networks and compared with several widely used methods. The experimental results illustrate that the proposed method is more advantageous and can visually and effectively uncover the community structure.

НИГЕРИЙСКИЙ КИНОСЦЕНАРНЫЙ ТЕКСТ КАК ОТРАЖЕНИЕ КРЕОЛИЗОВАННОЙ РЕАЛЬНОСТИ

The article deals with the peculiarities of script texts within the realm of cinematography, a contemporary art form. The research endeavors to elucidate the primary characteristic features of Nigerian script texts, which undergo creolization towards the norms of British English and local languages and cultures. Screenwriters initiate the filmmaking process by crafting a script text, serving as the essential foundation for directors, actors, stuntmen, costume and makeup designers, as well as editors. Nigerian script texts manifest as creolized texts, distinguished by a notable feature: the detailed inclusion of authorial remarks providing extensive information for future utilization. Each film script embodies a creolized text, contributing to the transformation of structural substance into a new cinematic reality. Nigerian script texts undergo multiple instances of creolization, adapting to the requirements of local languages and cultural peculiarities. The research validates Nigerian script texts as creolized compositions characterized by detailed authorial remarks, shedding light on language-specific features such as grammar transformations resulting in simplification processes. The most prevalent grammar simplification processes entail the consecutive use of nouns and pronouns, a preference for simple verb tenses, and the omission of auxiliary verbs in interrogative and negative sentences. The grammatical alterations observed in Nigerian scripts are attributed to the influence of local languages and Nigerians' aspiration to adhere to local language features, thereby preserving cultural heritage.

Curiosity as filling, compressing, and reconfiguring knowledge networks

Theoretical constructs, such as the information gap theory and compression progress theory, seek to explain how humans practice curiosity. According to the former, curiosity is the drive to acquire information missing from our understanding of the world. According to the latter, curiosity is the drive to construct parsimonious mental world models. To complement the densification and simplification processes inherent to these frameworks, we propose the conformational change theory, wherein we posit that curiosity builds mental models with marked conceptual flexibility. We formalize curiosity as a knowledge-network-building process to investigate each theoretical account for individuals and collectives. In knowledge networks, gaps can be identified as topological cavities, compression progress can be quantified using network compressibility, and flexibility can be measured as the number of conformational degrees of freedom. We find that curiosity fills gaps and constructs increasingly compressible and flexible knowledge networks. Across individuals and collectives, we determine the contexts in which each account is explanatory, clarifying their complementary and distinct contributions. Our findings offer a novel networks-based perspective that harmonizes with (and compels an expansion of) the traditional taxonomy of curiosity.

Investigating the reliability of building energy models: Comparative analysis of the impact of data pipelines and model complexities

During the last few years, interest has been growing in modelling the building stock to provide a possibility to transform, adapt and decarbonize cities. To scale the modelling of buildings on an urban scale, large quantities of detailed data are needed, which are not commonly accessible. Therefore, simplification processes for modelling the building stock have been developed through the concept of archetypes. However, different geospatial data that are publicly available can influence the modelling process, and discrepancies can occur when simplified archetypes are used. This study aims to evaluate and investigate the influence of various data pipelines and modelling methods based on urban scale or onsite collected data on building energy model's accuracy. Multiple standards for evaluating building energy models were used considering the thresholds accepted by IPMVP, ASHRAE, and FEMP. The results reported significant differences between the models based on the assumptions used in the event of the lack of data. In addition, the discrepancy in geometrical consistency between the models led to the investigation of the optimal EUI standardization method to provide an unbiased assessment within multi-spatial scales. Overall, the study provides new insights into the performance of different models to be a fit-for-purpose guideline for determining adequate complexities and data pipelines for developing building energy models.

Simplification: A Case of Phonetic Salience of Consonant Clusters in Marathi

Abstract: Second/foreign language learning has myriad repercussions upon the way/s a learner tries to learn it. The most striking is how the new language sounds to the learner. Interestingly, the new language sounds both familiar and different. This is unique to all languages sharing language universals. A learner uses strategies to simplify the words of second/foreign language. In doing so, he/she adds phonetic features of his/her native language. The purpose of this research article is to observe native speakers of Ahirani (a dialect of Marathi) making use of English words with obstruent clusters and way/s of simplifying them. It would talk on possible reasons for simplification. The study is observational-analytical in nature. A datasheet as a tool was used to note the English words spoken by the speakers exhibiting cluster simplification. The data collected shows how they adapt English words (pronunciation) to fulfill their purpose of informal communication. The author subscribed to the contrast-based approach to cluster simplification in light of cluster simplification by speakers of Marathi. The author commented on variations in producing consonant clusters of English, simplification processes adapted and morphophonemic environment contributing to simplification. The study observed epenthesis, deletion, vowel shortening, vowel change, as the most frequent strategies used by the participants. Keywords: Consonant, Cluster Simplification, Phonetic Environment, Marathi/Ahirani

Percepción de los fonoaudiólogos en relación con las características de las pruebas estandarizadas de evaluación propuestas por la normativa vigente en Chile

ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze the speech-language-hearing therapists’ perception of structured tests proposed by the current Chilean regulations to assess and diagnose language in children. Methods: a questionnaire to assess their perception of three tests (the Test of Auditory Comprehension of Language, the revised Phonological Simplification Processes Assessment Test and the Screening Test of Spanish Grammar). Differences were contrasted with the Friedman test, and the post hoc was compared with the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Also, the Spearman´s rho coefficient was used to study the correlation between scores, setting the confidence level at 5%. Results: the revised Phonological Simplification Processes Assessment Test obtained the highest mean Likert score in most items assessed, except for the question on excessive application time. A total of 91% of participants reported the need for a digital version of the three structured tests. Lastly, the highest and most significant score correlation occurred between the Test of Auditory Comprehension of Language and the Screening Test of Spanish Grammar. Conclusion: the participants’ perceptions of the revised Phonological Simplification Processes Assessment Test are more positive than those of other tests. The participants also believe that the tests should have a digital version.

Austronesian Undressed: How and Why Languages Become Isolating ed. by David Gil and Antoinette Schapper

Reviewed by: Austronesian Undressed: How and Why Languages Become Isolating ed. by David Gil and Antoinette Schapper Jiang WU David Gil and Antoinette Schapper (eds.) 2020. Austronesian Undressed: How and Why Languages Become Isolating (Typological Studies in Language 129). Amsterdam: John Benjamins Publishing Company. ix + 510 pp. isbn 978-90-272-0790-6 (HB), 978-90-272-6053-6 (E-Book). The book under review is an edited volume with the goal of addressing the question posed in its title: how and why Austronesian languages become isolating. More specifically, it concerns the Austronesian languages in an area which David Gil describes as a crescent, stretching from Hainan Island in the north, along coastal Mainland Southeast Asia into most of the Malay/ Indonesian archipelago, with the other tip of the crescent at the Bird's Head of New Guinea. The question posed by this book is of great interest and significance to both Austronesianists and a wider audience in fields such as historical linguistics, language contact, creolistics, and typology, for at least two reasons. For one, within the Austronesian family there is a tendency of simplification from Formosan and Philippine languages, which exhibit a considerably higher degree of morphosyntactic complexity, to those currently found in the so-called Isolating Crescent. Such a trend roughly correlates with the direction of the Austronesian dispersal, hence the study undertaken here is a probe into the history of Austronesian languages and their speakers as a whole. In addition, isolating languages appear to be the anomalies on a worldwide scale. The study of isolating Austronesian languages therefore relates to a broader inquiry into whether there is any common driving force behind the simplification processes of languages in general. This volume contains ten main chapters dealing with a wide range of Austronesian languages, including Cham, Riau Indonesian, Minangkabau, Javanese, Central Flores languages, Alorese and its close relative Lamaholot, Tetun Dili, and the languages of eastern Timor. Also included in the volume is an introduction which sets the scene for the book with a concise summary for each chapter, as well as a concluding chapter by John McWhorter (who introduced the metaphor of languages "undressing") with a critical review on much of the content. Chapter 1 by David Gil opens with the question of what it means to be an isolating language. Traditionally, the isolating nature of a language is associated with a low morpheme per word ratio, but it is notoriously difficult to properly define wordhood, upon which the notion of isolating rests crucially (Dixon and Aikhenvald 2002; Haspelmath 2011). Here, Gil defines word as a structural unit characterized by the convergence of a set of language-specific properties, and proposes a novel definition of isolating language as one that lacks a robust [End Page 791] structural unit of word. As Gil then demonstrates, a language like Riau Indonesian has few properties that can converge to define this unit of word, which means that Riau Indonesian has little morphological structure, and is therefore isolating. This chapter evokes some insightful thinking on morphological complexity and illuminates it with an elaborated and thorough case study. However, since the potential sources of evidence for wordhood are language specific, the question remains as to whether this view on morphological typology is readily applicable to other languages on a practical level, with crosslinguistically comparable results. Notably, while Gil intends to lay the groundwork for the remainder of the volume, his definition of isolating languages is not adopted in other chapters (except for an additional chapter on Riau Indonesian by Gil himself). The subsequent chapters present a range of rich and original data on how and to what extent the Austronesian languages in the Isolating Crescent display isolating structures, and many of them also emphasize the question of why. As is argued in most chapters, morphological loss and isolating traits can often be ascribed to language contact, but exactly what kind of contact scenario led to simplification remains a question that is subject to different interpretations. Much of the discussion in this volume centers around the debate between two views: a pre-Austronesian substratum or insufficient adult acquisition. I shall summarize and evaluate these two views in turn. Three chapters endorse the idea...

Impact of structural racism on inclusion and diversity in precision oncology: A scoping and critical review of the literature.

Inclusion and diversity in precision oncology are essential in reducing cancer disparities among racial and ethnic groups. However, present studies have favored the recruitment and participation of Whites, with limited applicability of their results to minority groups. Many reasons for their underrepresentation are downstream manifestations of structural racism. Therefore, this scoping review provides a precise mapping of recruitment and participation barriers for minorities in precision oncology that are associated with structural racism, including a critical appraisal of how disciplinary norms, paradigms, and tools used therein could inadvertently contribute to unforeseen inclusion and diversity challenges. Empirical and theoretical publications from Web of Science and PubMed were searched and analyzed to identify recruitment and participation barriers for minorities in precision oncology. In addition, using the public health critical race praxis (PHCRP) as guiding analytical framework, empirical studies were analyzed to identify unforeseen barriers resulting from simplification processes, assumptions, norms, paradigms, and tools used during the research process. One-hundred thirty-five barriers to recruitment and participation were identified or reported in included publications. They were subsequently categorized as being a manifestation of one of the following forms of racism, namely internalized, interpersonal, institutional, and structural racism. The PCHRP analysis revealed four additional factors to be considered in precision oncology studies in ensuring appropriate representation of their study populations. Future interventions aimed at reducing health disparities should focus predominantly on barriers associated with structural and institutional racism, which should then have ripple effects on other forms of racism. Importantly, the four factors identified through the PHCRP framework could further explain the lower participation rates of minorities in precision oncology and related activities. Therefore, they should be given due consideration by all stakeholders involved in the precision oncology ecosystem, from researchers and healthcare professionals to policy-makers, research ethics committees, and funders.

A Combined Study of Cultural Heritage in Archaeological Museums: 3D Survey and Mixed Reality

Nowadays, a great interest in historical installations like museographic devices in international museological studies (capable of giving space form during user communication) is largely attributable to new techniques of immediate communication. Tools and libraries for virtual, augmented, and mixed reality content have recently become increasingly available. Despite its increased cost and investment, these are new ways for increasing visitor presence in museums. The purpose of this paper is to describe the potential of a tourist/archaeological application suitably developed and implemented by us. The application was developed in Unity3D and allows the user to view cultural heritage in a virtual environment, making information, multimedia content, and metrically precise 3D models available and accessible (obtained after a phase of reducing the mesh border), useful for obtaining good 3D printing reproduction. The strengths of our application (compared to the many already in the literature, which are also used as research ideas) stem from the possibility of using and easily integrating different techniques (3D models, building information models, virtual and augmented reality) allowing the choice of different 3D models (depending on the user’s needs) on some of which (again depending on the application needs) were tested and performed simplification and size reduction processes, to make the application loading phase faster and the user experience easier and better. Another application cue was to finalize an application to relate the elements of the museum with some archaeological elements of the territory according to historical period and element type.

An Interlanguage Phonological Approach to the Analysis of Selected Ghanaian Newscasters’ Renditions

In recent years, specially marked varieties of the English language have been the thrust of many researches, and the Ghanaian English is one of them. This study examined selected Ghanaian newscasters’ renditions using the tenets of Selinker’s Interlanguage Phonology Theory: simplification, overgeneralisation of the L2 and transfer. The study also incorporated the use of Praat application for the analysis of the data. Apart from this, the interview method was used to collect the data for the study. The data collected consist of interviews recorded across twelve radio stations in Cape-Coast, Ghana. The data analysis revealed that some phonemes of the British English (BrE) are unavailable in the Ghanaian English; hence, the newscasters introduce or transfer some of the phonemic features that are characteristics of the individual's variety into the British English (BrE), especially those with similar phonemic properties. Also, phonological simplification processes were introduced by the respondents to enable them to produce words easily and as a result, the words and syllables end up reduced, restructured or re-syllabified. In conclusion, the findings from the study have reflected that there are modifications by the studied speakers and these modifications are what make the English language spoken by the newscasters distinct from what is obtainable on the job, due to the exigencies of the second language situation and specific cognitive oriented problems.

RE-APPRAISING LAND DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL PROCEDURE THROUGH SURRENDER AND RE-ALIENATION MECHANISM IN JOHOR

The surrender and re-alienation or ‘serah balik kurnia semula’ (SBKS) mechanism in Johor has remained essentially significant for the state authority income. On account of the delay issues that impacted processing agencies and related stakeholders particularly state authority, the purpose of this article is to study the process and procedure conducted by Pejabat Tanah Johor Bahru (PTJB) in processing SBKS applications through (i) Identifying issues and challenges of existing processes and procedures that prevent the application of approval to be done in a timely manner; and (ii) To propose recommendation towards simplification and time-saving approval processes and procedures of surrender and re-alienation applications. From the analysis, there were 11 delay issues found to complete the 20 steps of the process. Thus, recommendations of approval were suggested by approval agencies and related stakeholders conducted in several series of Focus Group Discussion (FGD) as efforts to mitigate the delay issues faced by both sectors and hence accelerate the development process and generate state authority income effectively.

Automated selection of nuclides and reactions of interest in a depletion simulation. Precision loss estimation for multiple outputs

To accelerate depletion calculations, it is common to only consider a selection of isotopes. Simulating only a limited number of nuclides leads inevitably to some bias on the outputs of the depletion simulation. Most methods used are either implicit or dedicated to specific cases. This paper presents a new method, based on physics consideration and an explicit algorithm, that automatically selects isotopes and reactions for a depletion calculation. This method uses the creation and simplification of a nucleus tree gathering and linking together all nuclides that can possibly be created during the depletion process. This is performed by recursively adding nuclides possibly created from nuclides previously in the tree through decay or nuclear reaction. After the creation of the tree, it can be simplified by automatically cutting nuclides and reaction out through 3 processes: half-life threshold, cross-section threshold and reaction type cut. Using these simplification processes, the presented method leads to important calculation cost reduction (up to 40%) with effect on outputs lower than 3 times their stochastic standard deviation.

Bridgeless PFC Topology Simplification and Design for Performance Benchmarking

Compared with conventional power factor correction topologies, although dual-converter cell-based bridgeless topologies usually have higher efficiency, most of them suffer from high component counts. Thus, this article proposes general topology simplification methods for these topologies. Besides, several selected converter cells are exemplified to show the specific topology simplification processes, and the performance of the resultant simplified topologies is reviewed. Meanwhile, based on the same design specifications, in order to provide an unbiased quantitative topology comparison in terms of power loss, cost, and volume, this article introduces a consistent component database-based design procedure with electrical, thermal, and cost models. As case studies, the conventional and two selected bridgeless buck–boost-type topologies are compared by following the design procedure. The comparison results are analyzed to provide a reference for topology selection. Three prototypes are built and tested to verify the theoretical analysis.

Geomatics Techniques for Submerged Heritage: a Mobile App for Tourism

The tourism sector is one of the major industries in Italy that has a high impact on local communities in terms of employment and economy. To show the results of a research project highlighting the use of new technology in the tourism sector, the Geomatics Laboratory of the Mediterranea University of Reggio Calabria has developed a mobile application for tourism. The case study is "Calarcheo Park", a nonaccessible underwater archaeological park located in Reggio Calabria, near the remains of the old walls of the ancient city of Reggio Calabria (Reghion, dating back to about the VIII B.C.). The main aim of this paper is to describe the process to relive and re-propose the experience of a real immersion through a journey in virtual reality. Particular attention was given to the research part concerning the simplification processes of the models inserted within an app for tourism sector. The concept app includes scenarios (seabed) and objects (Castle and artefact) obtained from three-dimensional models realized through photogrammetric techniques, therefore "heavy" models in terms of space necessary to store them, recall them and possibly process them. Considering the visualization purpose, and the metric precision needed, the 3d models were reconstructed using a rapid method. To minimize the difficulties during the direct underwater survey carried out by a human operator (e.g. limited time available during the survey, accentuated inaccuracy due to human errors), the operations were carried out using an experimental ROV (Remote Operated Vehicles), widely used to explore underwater environments, equipped with cameras to perform photogrammetric acquisition in a single dive. To enhance the results and quality of the 3d model, a procedure to improve the image quality, and optimizing the processing is also described. This work therefore illustrates the possibilities of using 3D models created by geomatics techniques within virtual environments for apps for tourism purposes

PENYEDERHANAAN FONOLOGIS DALAM PEMEROLEHAN BAHASA PERTAMA: STUDI KASUS ANAK USIA 1;9

This research was conducted to determine the utterances that can be produced by a child and the simplification process that occurs in the utterances produced. The subject of this study is female twins aged 1 year 9 months. This study uses the method of observation, the researcher observes the two children, records and takes note the words spoken. The researcher participates in communicating with these children. Furthermore, the data that has been obtained in the form of records is transcribed into written form. The list of writings that have been obtained is then identified to find out the simplification process that occurs by comparing with the utterances that should be according to the dictionary and simplification theory in language acquisition. Data that has been analysed are then presented in tabular form and also presented with sentences. The results showed that there were several simplification processes for the utterances produced in the form of substance, reduction and word structure simplification. These two children are able to produce /m/, /k/. /t/, /d/, /p/, /n/, /b/, /a/, /o/,/i/, /ɑː/, /e/.

Encoding Transfer Events in Surinamese Javanese

This paper examines the influence of language contact and multilingualism on the encoding of transfer events in the heritage variety of Javanese spoken in Suriname. Alongside Javanese, this community also speaks Sranantongo and Dutch, of which Sranantongo had the longest contact history with Javanese. It is shown that this long period of contact had a structural influence on the expression of transfer events in Surinamese Javanese: Surinamese speakers use double object constructions and two-predicate constructions more frequently than homeland Javanese speakers, a change which we argue to be due to contact with Sranantongo. In addition, Surinamese Javanese speakers overgeneralize one of the two applicative suffixes found in transfer constructions, a phenomenon that results from simplification processes.
