Abstract : REXALL, a program within the Comprehensive Occupational Data Analysis Programs (CODAP) system, is routinely used for assessing the level of interrater agreement obtained when multiple raters evaluate 'training emphasis' at the task level and for extracting a reliable common rating policy (CRP). For some samples, very poor interrater agreement precludes extraction of a reliable CRP and limits use of the data. Since poor interrater agreement may be a function of multiple rating policies, research was initiated to develop a methodology for identifying the multiple rating perceptions that may exist within task factor data. The findings presented include the effect of sample size on interrater agreement and the use of modified REXALL analysis, cluster analysis and factor analysis techniques for identifying multiple rating policies in training emphasis data. Results indicate that REXALL analysis employing new CRP extraction criteria is adequate for samples where the CRP includes all raters and when the CRP has a divergency of less than 25%. It was also found that principal components factor analysis has high utility for identifying the CRP and any other rating policies that might exist in the rating data. Possible causes of poor interrater agreement and several alternative approaches to identifying the causes for interrater disagreement are discussed, Guidelines for occupational analysts to follow when using the REXALL and alternative analysis procedures are provided. Keywords: REXALL computer programs.

The distinction between COMPLEMENTS and ADJUNCTS has a long tradition in grammatical theory, and it is also included in some way or other in most current formal linguistic theories. But it is a highly vexed distinction, for several reasons, one of which is that no diagnostic criteria have emerged that will reliably distinguish adjuncts from complements in all cases – too many examples seem to "fall into the crack" between the two categories, no matter how theorists wrestle with them.
In this paper, I will argue that this empirical diagnostic "problem" is, in fact, precisely what we should expect to find in natural language, when a proper understanding of the adjunct/complement distinction is achieved: the key hypothesis is that a complete grammar should provide a DUAL ANALYSIS of every complement as an adjunct, and potentially, an analysis of any adjunct as a complement. What this means and why it is motivated by linguistic evidence will be discussed in detail.

This paper investigates the syntactic structure created by adjunction by examining the viability of two competing hypotheses. The first hypothesis is that adjunction creates two separate phrases in the syntax, the host, and the maximal projection, its mother, which includes the adjunct and the host. The host of an adjunct is found to be generally unavailable to the syntactic processes of movement, ellipsis and coordination, but is seemingly available to antecede ellipsis. The second hypothesis, that adjunction results in a multi-segmented, complex single constituent in the sense of Chomsky (1986) and May (1985) is found to generally hold true under movement, ellipsis and, indirectly, coordination, because the host of the adjunct cannot be targeted by these processes independently of its adjunct sister.

This paper summarizes the text-to-speech system that has been developed in the Speech Group of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC).The system is composed of a core and different interfaces so that it is compatible for research, for telephone applications (either CTI boards or standard ISDN PC cards supporting CAPI), and Windows applications developed using Microsoft SAPI.The paper reviews the system making emphasis in the parts of the system which are language dependent and which allow the reading of bilingual text (Spanish and Catalan).The paper also presents new approaches in prosodic modeling (segmental duration modeling) and generation of the database of speech segments, which have been introduced last year.
