This article studies the relevance of an historical lexical analysis to the stylistic description of Modern Hebrew texts. The examination of the lexical make-up of two distinct genres – administrative language and folksong – reveals a correlation between the social functions of the corpora and their formal characteristics. The administrative corpus reflects the lexical structure of standard Mod...

This study compares lexical retrieval amongst monolinguals and intermediate bilinguals and advanced bilinguals. It also investigates the possible effects of their language learning strategies on their respective lexical retrieval advantage. The study used a mixed methods design and the groups consisted of 20 Persian near-monolinguals, 20 Persian-English intermediate level bilinguals, and 20 Per...

Although object-oriented languages can help make software more reusable, class libraries can be di cult to use unless the programmer knows the library well. In particular, it can be hard to nd and understand components that a programmer may want to reuse. This study focuses on novice programmers solving programming tasks which require the reuse of components. We take an in-depth look at how the...

Most studies of linguistic codeswitching (CS) focus on what language items can be switched and how such are intrasententially configurated at the surface sentence level. This study investigates CS a rather abstract level by adopting Bilingual Lemma Activation (BLA) Model (Wei, 2020). model claims that lemmas (i.e., entries in mental lexicon about lexemes) language-specific, language-specific co...

We present a study that investigates that factors that determine what makes a good lexical substitution. We begin by observing that there is a correlation between the corpus frequency of words and the number of WordNet senses they have, and hypothesise that readers might prefer common, but more ambiguous words over less ambiguous but also less common ones. We identify four properties of a word ...

Story segmentation plays a critical role in spoken document processing. Spoken documents often come in a continuous audio stream without explicit boundaries related to stories or topics. It is important to be able to automatically segment these audio streams into coherent units. This work is an initial attempt to make use of informative lexical terms (or key terms) in recognition transcripts of...

in any discourse domain, certain chunks are particularly frequent and deserve attention by the novice to be initiated and by the expert to maintain a sense of community. to make a relevant contribution to the awareness about applied linguistics texts and discourse, this study attempted to develop lists of lexical chunks frequently used in the abstracts of applied linguistics journals. the abstr...
