Sub-categorized arguments introduced by the French preposition pour has been under-studied in previous work, as can be seen from the incompleteness of existing lexical-syntactic resources in that regard. In this paper, we briefly introduce the various types of sub-categorization in pour, which are to be distinguished from occurrences of pour as a discourse connective. We describe how we added a...

We are interested in those bundles on P that admits a resolution of the form 0 → C ⊗ E φ −→ C t ⊗ F → C → 0. In this paper we prove that, under suitable conditions on E, F , a generic bundle with this form is either simple, or canonically decomposable. As applications we provide an easy criterion for the stability of such bundles on P and we prove the stability of all Steiner exceptional bundle...

the most important and practical phase of analyzing the linguistic errors of second language learners is to find the solutions to decrease these errors. to that end, the present study examined translation strategy to decrease the number of grammatical and lexical errors of chinese language learners learning persian. twelve chinese language learners were asked to write a text in two stages. firs...

Great authors of fiction and theatre have the capacity of creating memorable characters that take life and become almost as real as living persons to the readers/audience. The study of characterization, namely of how this is achieved, is a well-researched topic in corpus stylistics: for instance (Mahlberg, 2012) attempts to identify typical lexical patterns for memorable Dickens’ characters by ...

When applying corpus linguistic techniques to historical corpora, the corpus researcher should be cautious about the results obtained. Corpus annotation techniques such as part of speech tagging, trained for modern languages, are particularly vulnerable to inaccuracy due to vocabulary and grammatical shifts in language over time. Basic corpus retrieval techniques such as frequency profiling and...

This paper describes a peer-to-peer architecture for representing and disseminating linguistic corpora, linguistic annotation, and resources such as lexical databases and gazetteers. The architecture is based upon a ‘Universal Database’ technology in which all information is represented in globally identified, extensible bundles of attribute-value pairs. These objects are replicated at will bet...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the validity of measuring grammatical diversity with a specifically designed Lexical Diversity Assessment Tool (LDAT). A secondary objective is to use LDAT to determine if the level of difficulty assigned to English as a Second Language (ESL) texts corresponds to increases in grammatical, lexical, and temporal diversity. Other methods of lexical diversit...

this paper examines the semantic contribution of -?r and -andeh suffixes in persian based on lieber’s (2004) lexical semantic representation. this framework using six semantic features ([material], [dynamic], [location], [ieps] , [b] and [ci] and a principle called coordination principle studies the semantic contribution of lexical items including affixes and their functions in compounding, der...
