Investigating the Features that Affect Cue Usage of Non-native Speakers of English.

However, little has been done in this field. This study investigates the features that affect the placement (where to place a cue) of because for non-native speakers. A machine learning program – C4.5 was applied to induce the classification models of the placement.
