Collocation is a common language phenomenon which has attracted the interest of researchers in many subfields of both theoretical and computational linguistics. Although there is no commonly accepted and precise definition of this phenomenon, collocations are generally understood as complex lexical items, often characterized as unpredictable, idiosyncratic, holistic, mutually selective, and so ...

Lewis (1993) recognized significance of word combinations including collocations by presenting lexical approach. Because of the crucial role of collocation in vocabulary acquisition, this research set out to evaluate the rate of collocations in Iranian EFL learners' writing production across L1 and L2. In addition, L1 interference with L2 collocational use in the learner' writing samples was st...

We extend a lexical knowledge-base of near-synonym differences with knowledge about their collocational behaviour. This type of knowledge is useful in the process of lexical choice between near-synonyms. We acquire collocations for the near-synonyms of interest from a corpus (only collocations with the appropriate sense and part-of-speech). For each word that collocates with a nearsynonym we us...

Discourse is a complete form of language unit arranged in its entirety so that it becomes single contains theme. There are two types discourse drama scripts, namely textual and contextual discourse. This research descriptive qualitative because this tries to collect data based on the literature used as analysis material. In grammatical relationships, there 105 reference which include personal, ...

Previous approaches on automatic extraction of lexical similarities have considered as semantic unit of text the word. However, the theoretical perspective of contextual lexical semantics suggests that larger segments of text, specifically non-compositional multiwords, are more appropriate for this role. We experimentally tested the applicability of this notion, applying automatic collocation e...

The paper analyses the application of DATR language for lexical knowledge presentation for interpreting Bulgarian inflectional morphology. It discuss the semantic network of the feature of definiteness in Bulgarian language and compares the lexical knowledge representation for the different part-of-speech with respect to the defined grammar rules, the sound alternations, the related formal pres...
