This paper seeks to address the relation between semantics, pragmatics and productivity of a low level lexico-grammatical construction, Have N (body part/attitude) ↔metapragmatic comment. The question posed is how semantics affects productivity, in generative sense extensibility construction (a form meaning pairing). method identifies specificity variations comment within pragmeme politeness us...

Abstract The theories and methods in corpus linguistics (CL) have had an impact on numerous areas applied linguistics. However, the interface between CL multimodal speech-gesture studies remains underexplored. One fundamental question is whether it possible, even appropriate, to apply paradigms established based textual data data. To explore this, we examine how can assist investigating lexico-...

Writing is a challenging and demanding skill for EFL learners in Vietnam. Teaching writing skills at Vietnamese universities problematic since different approaches to have not been implemented effectively. Mainly, genre-based approach has yet classrooms successfully. This paper investigates how the taught learned Van Lang University. The study mentions some critical notions of systemic function...

We have begun a project to automatically create the lexico-syntactic resources for a microplanner as a side-effect of running a domain-specific language understanding system. The resources are parameterized synchronous TAG Derivation Trees. Since the KB is assembled from the information in the texts that these resources are abstracted from, it will decompose along those same lines when used for...

This article presents a discussion of a number of algorithms being developed which will enable the generation of prosodic structure for Swedish restricted texts. These algorithms, including a word-class tagger, a complex-word identifier and a prosodic parser form part of a linguistic preprocessor to a text-to-speech system for generation of intonation. PROSODIC STRUCTURE One of the goals of cur...

In this article, we propose an automatic process to build multi-lingual lexico-semantic resources. The goal of these resources is to browse semantically textual information contained in texts of different languages. This method uses a mathematical model called Atlas sémantiques in order to represent the different senses of each word. It uses the linguistic relations Cahiers de Linguistique, 33(...

The paper describes the application of hybrid probabilistic neural networks for corpus analysis which consists of intelligent semanticbased methods of analysis and recognition of word clusters and their meaning. The task of analyzing a corpus of academic articles was resolved with hybrid probabilistic neural networks and developed word clusters. The created prototypes of word clusters provide t...

We present empirical data showing that the relative frequency with which a verb normally appears in a syntactic construction predicts young children’s ability to remember and repeat sentences instantiating that construction. Children aged 2;10–5;8 years were asked to repeat grammatical and ungrammatical sentential complement sentences (e.g., ‘I think+ S’). The sentences contained complement-tak...
