A Study of Lexical Distribution in Citation Contexts through the IMRaD Standard
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a large-scale approach for the extraction of verbs in reference contexts. We analyze citation contexts in relation with the IMRaD structure of scientific articles and use rank correlation analysis to characterize the distances between the section types. The results show strong differences in the verb frequencies around citations between the sections in the IMRaD structure. This study is a ”one-more-step” towards the lexical and semantic analysis of citation contexts.

متن کاملNative and Non-native Use of Lexical Bundles in Discussion Section of Political Science Articles
The study of lexical bundles, among types of text analysis, is gaining importance over the others in the last century. The present study employed a frequency-based analysis approach to the use of lexical bundles. The discussion section of 60 political science articles, with corpora around 253,063 words were investigated in three aspects of structure, form, and function of lexical bundles. The p...
