AtomsMasher: Personal Reactive Automation for the Web
The rise of "Web 2.0" has seen an explosion of web sites for the social sharing of personal information. To enable users to make valuable use of the rich yet fragmented sea of public, social, and personal information, data mashups emerged to provide a means for combining and filtering such information into coherent feeds and visualizations. In this paper we present AtomsMasher (AM), a new framework which extends data mashups into the realm of context-aware reactive behaviors. Reactive scripts in AM can be made to trigger automatically in response to changes in its world model derived from multiple web-based data feeds. By exposing a simple state-model abstraction and query language abstractions of data derived from heterogeneous web feeds through a simulation-based interactive script debugging environment, AM greatly simplifies the process of creating such automation in a way that is flexible, predictable, scalable and within the reach of everyday Web programmers
Temiar Reduplication in One-Level Prosodic Morphology
Temiar reduplication is a difficult piece of prosodic morphology. This paper
presents the first computational analysis of Temiar reduplication, using the
novel finite-state approach of One-Level Prosodic Morphology originally
developed by Walther (1999b, 2000). After reviewing both the data and the basic
tenets of One-level Prosodic Morphology, the analysis is laid out in some
detail, using the notation of the FSA Utilities finite-state toolkit (van Noord
1997). One important discovery is that in this approach one can easily define a
regular expression operator which ambiguously scans a string in the left- or
rightward direction for a certain prosodic property. This yields an elegant
account of base-length-dependent triggering of reduplication as found in

'Thone vpon thother' - On pronouns one and other with initial th- and t- in Middle English
A frequent result produced by a search of the digital corpora of Middle English (henceforth ME) for instances of reduced thâ is a nominal involving the pronouns one or other with initial th- or t- attached. In this study I argue that two different mechanisms, that is reduction of the definite article and misanalysis of the preceding demonstrative, need to be taken into account when scrutinizing the emergence of what turns out to be four different pronouns, namely thone, thother, tone, and tother. First I flesh out the ways in which these pronouns were used in ME. Then I analyze textual evidence which sheds light on the question when and how these pronouns emerged. Finally I argue that while initial th- is always a definite determiner reduced as expected given the DP cycle, initial t- can be either a definite determiner or, less likely, part of a lexicalized pronoun.acceptedVersio
