   Nyckelord :Cognate facilitation effect; cognates; interlingual homographs; stimulus list composition; BIA ; Age of Acquisition; lexical decision; bilingualism;

   Sammanfattning : Cognate words have a shared orthographic and semantic representation across languages: kniv (‘knife’) in Danish means the same as kniv in Swedish.

5. 4. Homograph Disambiguation and Diacritization for Arabic Text-to-Speech Using Neural Networks

   Sammanfattning : Pre-processing Arabic text for Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems poses major challenges, as Arabic omits short vowels in writing.
