Exploring Meta-analysis for Historical Corpus Linguistics Based on Linked Data

Otomanguean historical linguistics: Exploring the subgroups

This is the second of two articles that survey and assess progress and prospects in the historical linguistics of the Otomanguean language family, which is the most widely distributed and most diverse linguistic lineage of Mesoamerica. While considerable progress has been made in understanding the linguistic and cultural history of Otomanguean, in some ways it remains the Mesoamerican language ...

We propose the use of linked data principles to enable language resources to be published and interlinked openly on the web and describe the application of this paradigm to the modeling of two language resources, WordNet a...

Corpus linguistics and second / foreign language learning : exploring multiple paths

The aim of this article is twofold: first, to briefly assess the influence that corpus linguistic research has had on second/foreign language learning so far, and second, to suggest future directions for a more coherent and well thought out integration of corpora in instructed settings. In section 1, the influence of native and learner corpus research on second/foreign language learning will be...
