The study of translation by bilingual female students studying Arabic had not received much attention, especially with regard to the cultural errors that these made during English-Arabic translations, which resulted in them making mistakes translation. This prompted researchers focus on this area. main objective article is explore common collocation among Federal College Education (Technical), ...

Analysis stage. Our goal at this stage is to compute linguistic representations of the passage and the hypothesis that contain as much information as possible about their semantic content. We use typed dependency graphs generated by the Stanford parser (Klein and Manning, 2003; de Marneffe et al., 2006), which contain a node for each word and labeled edges representing the grammatical relations...

We propose and assess the novel idea of using automatically induced constructions as a unit of analysis for corpus-based discourse analysis. Automated techniques are needed in order to elucidate important characteristics of corpora for social science research into topics, framing and argument structures. Compared with current techniques (keywords, n-grams, and collocations), constructions captu...

This paper introduces a new technology for collocation extraction in Chinese. Sketch Engine (Kilgarriff et al., 2004) has proven to be a very effective tool for automatic description of lexical information, including collocation extraction, based on large-scale corpus. The original work of Sketch Engine was based on BNC. We extend Sketch Engine to Chinese based on Gigaword corpus from LDC. We d...

Interests in examining the roles of receptive vocabulary knowledge and collocational competence on EFL learners’ proficiency have grown considerably; yet, extent how noun, verb-noun collocations, noun-preposition collocations impact their English skill performances is still insufficiently researched. To address such gaps, this study specifically explored Thai nouns its performances. Three types...

We describe and motivate the design of a lexico-grammatical knowledgebase called StringNet and illustrate its significance for research into constructional phenomena in English. StringNet consists of a massive archive of what we call hybrid n-grams. Unlike traditional n-grams, hybrid n-grams can consist of any co-occurring combination of POS tags, lexemes, and specific word forms. Further, we d...

This paper presents Linggle Knows, an English grammar and linguistic search engine. Linggle Knows help people writing by displaying lexical and grammatical information extracted from a couple of large scale corpora, including Google Web 1T 5-gram, British National Corpus (BNC), New York Times Annotated Corpus (NYT), etc. It not only describes how a word is genuinely used, but also recommends va...

The importance of collocations in the context of second language learning is generally acknowledged. Studies show that the “collocation density" in learner corpora is nearly the same as in native corpora, i.e., that use of collocations by learners is as common as it is by native speakers, while the collocation error rate in learner corpora is about ten times as high as in native reference corpo...

SwissAdmin is a new multilingual corpus of press releases from the Swiss Federal Administration, available in German, French, Italian and English. We provide SwissAdmin in three versions: (i) plain texts of approximately 6 to 8 million words per language; (ii) sentence-aligned bilingual texts for each language pair; (iii) a part-of-speech-tagged version consisting of annotations in both the Uni...
