Rhetorical figures, which are frequently applied in advertisements, can add literary flavor to the texts, gratify audiences’ aesthetic needs, and deepen their impression. In advertisement translation, it is very common that the rhetorical figures applied in the original text are replaced with new ones in the translation.

the study investigates to give an analysis of literary text through a contrastive analysis of some linguistic form frequencies in the texts. three short stories , two english short stories by ernest hemingway and bruce holland rogers and a persian short story by sadeq choubak, have been analyzed for this paper. the study indicates that, by contrasting some linguistic elements, one can describe ...

Traditional models of parsing as used in interfaces have shown to be weak and ine ective in complex tasks such as processing of naturally-occurring texts. Broad coverage parsers go mad when confronted with extended inputs without su cient information to control the interpretation process. The use of e ective control strategies is necessary to overcome these shortcomings. Extra-linguistic criter...

in the poetics of aristotle, art and literature are imitations of reality and all literary elements have objective representation in the real world. following the theories of ferdinand de saussure and roman jakobson and formation of new literary approaches such as structuralism, there existed a modern poetics which didn’t consider literature as an imitation of reality but introduces it as recon...

Linguistic ontologies, most notably WordNet [1], have been shown to be a valuable resource for a variety of natural language processing applications. Presently, linguistic ontologies are largely constructed by hand, which is both difficult and expensive. A central problem that demands an automated solution is the discovery and incorporation of lexical semantic relations, or semantic relations b...

Text-cover of contemporary linguistic steganography approaches has numerous flaws such as incorrect syntax, lexicon, rhetoric, and grammar. Additionally, the content of text-cover is often meaningless and semantically incoherent. Such detectable noise (flaws) by both human and machine examinations can easily raise suspicion. These deficiencies render contemporary approaches highly vulnerable. U...

This paper follows up on the work of Crossley, Louwerse, McCarthy & McNamara (2007), who conducted an exploratory study of the linguistic differences of simplified and authentic texts found in beginner level English as a Second Language (ESL) textbooks using the computational tool Coh-Metrix. The purpose of this study is to provide a more comprehensive study of second language (L2) reading text...

Distinct properties of translated text have been the subject of research in linguistics for many year (Baker, 1993). In recent years computational methods have been developed to empirically verify the linguistic theories about translated text (Baroni and Bernardini, 2006). While many characteristics of translated text are more apparent in comparison to the original text, most of the prior resea...

Tokenization is commonly understood as the first step of any kind of natural language text preparation. The major goal of this early (pre-linguistic) task is to convert a stream of characters into a stream of processing units called tokens. Beyond the text mining community this job is taken for granted. Commonly it is seen as an already solved problem comprising the identification of word borde...
