Item A Linguistic-Analysis of 'Thula' usage(Essays in Social Sciences and Humanities, (In Honour of Professor Chandra Wickramagamage), 2012) Rajapakshe, R.M.W.Item A Rule Based Syllabification Algorithm for Sinhala(Lecture Notes in Computer Science/ IJCNLP: International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing, 2005) Weerasinghe, A.R.; Wasala, R.A.; Gamage, K.N.This paper presents a study of Sinhala syllable structure and an algorithm for identifying syllables in Sinhala words. After a thorough study of the Syllable structure and linguistic rules for syllabification of Sinhala words and a survey of the relevant literature, a set of rules was identified and implemented as a simple, easy-to-implement algorithm. The algorithm was tested using 30,000 distinct words obtained from a corpus and compared with the same words manually syllabified. The algorithm performs with 99.95 % accuracy.Item Curriculum and Approaches of Curriculum Planning: A Methodological Literature Review(Faculty of Humanities University of Kelaniya, 2023) Hirimuthugoda, H. D.Curriculum and the present planning of curriculum is given considerable attention in educational research as it is necessary to have a framework to administer the educational experience. Proper understanding of the function of a curriculum and reviewing various approaches and best practices of curriculum planning are useful in developing curricula and their execution. This study is a methodological literature review of the present literature about curriculum planning and development. The objectives of this study are to identify the cycle and main concerns of curriculum planning and to assess the approaches of curriculum planning based on literature reviews. It was discovered through this review that curriculum is a framework that explains a programme of study and how an educational experience is planned, curriculum planning is an interrelated process and prescriptive models of curriculum planning are more effective when concerning the outcomes, yet descriptive models also contain strengths concerning internal factors. This review is significant in educational research to identify the curriculum and assess the curriculum planning and development approaches.Item Deep Structure and Surface Structure(Department of Linguistics, University of Kelaniya, 1998) Anandakiththi Thero, KapugollaweItem The differences of Stem of Sanskrit derived into Colloquial Sinhala(Department of Linguistics, University of Kelaniya, 2011) Anandakiththi Thero, KapugollaweItem Festival-si: A Sinhala Text-to-Speech System(Lecture Notes in Computer Science/ IJCNLP: International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing, 2007) Weerasinghe, A.R.; Wasala, R.A.; Gamage, K.N.This paper brings together the development of the first Text-to-Speech (TTS) system for Sinhala using the Festival framework and practical applications of it. Construction of a diphone database and implementation of the natural language processing modules are described. The paper also presents the development methodology of direct Sinhala Unicode text input by rewriting Letter-to-Sound rules in Festival's context sensitive rule format and the implementation of Sinhala syllabification algorithm. A Modified Rhyme Test (MRT) was conducted to evaluate the intelligibility of the synthesized speech and yielded a score of 71.5% for the TTS system described.Item Generative Transformational Grammar(Sinhala Encyclopedia, 2012) Wickramasinghe, D.M.; Gamage, K.N.Item History of Machine Translation(Journal of the Faculty of Humanities, 2010) Gamage, K.N.Item An Introduction to Generative Phonology(Department of Linguistics, University of Kelaniya, 2004) Anandakiththi Thero, KapugollaweItem An Introduction to Translation(Department of Linguistics, University of Kelaniya, 2004) Anandakiththi Thero, KapugollaweItem Language translation and translator | භාෂා පරිවර්තනය හා භාෂා පරිවර්තකයා(Department of Philosophy, University of Kelaniya, 2019) Anandakiththi, Rev.
