Nowadays applied lexicography is a special domain of applied linguistics and language engineering in the framework of problemoriented automated and automatic dictionaries and databases. Modern approach to dictionary creation assumes preliminary work with parallel or comparable text corpora to be considered as reference database for solving both research and practical lexicographic problems. Pa...

We design a three-layered collocation extraction tool by integrating syntactic and semantic knowledge and apply it in China English studies. The tool first extracts peripheral collocations in the frequency layer from dependency triples, then extracts semi-peripheral collocations in the syntactic layer by association measures, and last extracts core collocations in the semantic layer with a simi...

Computer-aided Translation (CAT) tools have attracted the attention of scholars who practice translation in various disciplines. The current study investigated undergraduate students’ Perspectives on CAT and Machine (MT). More specifically, it investigates to what extent improve productivity quality. Finally, also explores other merits using tools. present used a qualitative analysis semi-struc...

This article concerns a corpus-based lexical study that is aimed at teaching academic vocabulary to address the specific needs of Chinese undergraduates majoring in information engineering. A 1,024,882-word corpus of Information Engineering English Corpus (IEEC) was built on the basis of university-level textbook materials drawn from ten compulsory courses for information engineering students. ...

In this paper, we describe a new method for extracting monolingual collocations. The method is based on statistical methods extracts. VN collocations from large textual corpora. Being able to extract a large number of collocations is very critical to machine translation and many other application. The method has an element of snowballing in it. Initially, one identifies a pattern that will prod...

Collocations play a significant role in second language acquisition. In order to be able to offer efficient support to learners, an NLP-based CALL environment for learning collocations should be based on a representative collocation error annotated learner corpus. However, so far, no theoretically-motivated collocation error tag set is available. Existing learner corpora tag collocation errors ...

The correct use of collocations is one of the most difficult tasks that the student faces when learning a second language, such that one of the goals of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) is to develop programs that aim to identify collocation errors in learners’ writings and propose corrections. However, while statistical models currently used by most of these programs still manage to ...
