this study investigated metadiscourse and its subcategories in english research articles (ras) written by nonnative (iranian) and native english writers from the two disciplines of applied linguistics and civil engineering. the study aimed at seeing whether language and discipline influenced the frequency of occurrence of metadiscourse elements in research articles. to this end, a sample of 120...

The “one sense per discourse” (OSPD) and “one sense per collocation” (OSPC) hypotheses have been very influential in Word Sense Disambiguation. The goal of this paper is twofold: (i) to explore whether these hypotheses hold for entities, that is, whether several mentions in the same discourse (or the same collocation) tend to refer to the same entity or not, and (ii) test their impact in Named-...

In research on collocations published in English we encounter, albeit rarely, the use of notion “metaphorical collocations”. It is interesting to note that seldom if ever are metaphorical defined any way these studies, suggesting researchers find term self-explanatory. However, seeing an exciting area yet draw attention from wider community researchers, aim this paper analyze current understand...

In this paper, we introduce a system, Sentence Planning Using Description, which generates collocations within the paradigm of sentence planning. SPUD simultaneously constructs the semantics and syntax of a sentence using a Lexicalized Tree Adjoining Grammar (LTAG). This approach captures naturally and elegantly the interaction between pragmatic and syntactic constraints on descriptions in a se...

We propose a method for using discourse relations for polarity detection of tweets. We have focused on unstructured and noisy text like tweets on which linguistic tools like parsers and POS-taggers don’t work properly. We have showed how conjunctions, connectives, modals and conditionals affect the sentiments in tweets. We have also handled the commonly used abbreviations, slangs and collocatio...

This article discusses the treatment of collocations in the context of a long-term project on the development of multilingual NLP tools. Besides “classical” two-word collocations, we will focus on the case of complex collocations (3 words or more) for which a recursive design is presented in the form of collocation of collocations. Although comparatively less numerous than two-word collocations...
