Formulaic expressions in language technology
Little attention has been given to the treatment of formulaic expressions in language technology during the past few decades, although such expressions are in fact extremely common both in conversation and in written discourse. ComputerAssisted Translation (CAT) tools are currently the most widely used language technology tools among professional translators. In this paper, I intend to determin...
متن کاملFormulaic Language in Alzheimer's Disease.
BACKGROUND Studies of productive language in Alzheimer's disease (AD) have focused on formal testing of syntax and semantics but have directed less attention to naturalistic discourse and formulaic language. Clinical observations suggest that individuals with AD retain the ability to produce formulaic language long after other cognitive abilities have deteriorated. AIMS This study quantifies ...
متن کاملBuilding a Lexicon of Formulaic Language for Language Learners
Though the multiword lexicon has long been of interest in computational linguistics, most relevant work is targeted at only a small portion of it. Our work is motivated by the needs of learners for more comprehensive resources reflecting formulaic language that goes beyond what is likely to be codified in a dictionary. Working from an initial sequential segmentation approach, we present two enh...
متن کاملFormulaic Language and Second Language Acquisition: Zipf and the Phrasal
This article revisits earlier proposals that language learning is, in essence, the learning of formulaic sequences and their interpretations; that this occurs at all levels of granularity from large to small; and that the language system emerges from the statistical abstraction of patterns latent within and across form and function in language usage. It considers recent research in individual d...
متن کاملFormulaic Language in an Emergentist Framework
The human brain is a veritable hodgepodge of ad hoc assemblages of the old, the borrowed, and the new, gerrymandered in response to millennia of internal and external forces. It follows that human cognition has unfolded, over evolutionary time, out of disparate fragments: emotion, movement programs, very old instincts, multiple memory systems, visual patterning and many uses of sound, all in co...
