Analyzing lexical change in diachronic corpora

Modeling the dynamics of domain specific terminology in diachronic corpora

In terminology work, natural language processing, and digital humanities, several studies address the analysis of variations in context and meaning of terms in order to detect semantic change and the evolution of terms. We distinguish three different approaches to describe contextual variations: methods based on the analysis of patterns and linguistic clues, methods exploring the latent semanti...

Dmd053322 2018..2023

In vitro–in vivo correlation (IVIVC) of intrinsic clearance in preclinical species of rat and dog was established using the hepatocyte relay method to support high-confidence prediction of human pharmacokinetics for low-clearance compounds. Good IVIVC of intrinsic clearance was observed for most of the compounds, with predicted values within 2-fold of the observed values. The exceptions involve...

A Diachronic Analysis of Compound Truncation in Japanese Fashion Magazines

The aim of this study is to analyze Japanese truncation formation from a phonological viewpoint. A full year’s data at an interval of 10 years were collected from fashion magazines aimed for the younger generation. A detailed analysis has indicated that although the unmarked four-morae output is still dominant throughout, a subtle diachronic change can be observed during the 20 years, especiall...

High vowels devoicing and elision in Japanese: A diachronic approach

The present study will focus on occurrence of fully voiced, devoiced and elided high vowels in Japanese. High vowels elision in Japanese is supported by clear acoustic evidences, even though it is not globally accepted by scholars in the field. Elided vowels, hence, are considered here to have their own status. Moreover, this study is conceived in order to state differences and analogies among ...
