the link between studies in discourse analysis and corpus linguistics has created new fields of research previously unattended. one of these areas is the study of semantic prosody produced through frequent collocation of a lexical item with a collection of words. semantic prosody is the positive, negative or neutral shade of meaning which a seemingly neutral word adopts after frequent collocati...

This study analyzes lexical proficiency in oral and written texts produced by second language (L2) learners of English. The purpose of the study is to examine relationships between analytic scores of depth of lexical knowledge, breadth of lexical knowledge, and access to core lexical items and holistic scores of lexical proficiency. A corpus of 240 spoken texts and 240 written texts produced by...

Text segmentation is a fundamental problem in natural language processing, which has application in information retrieval, question answering, and text summarization. Almost previous works on unsupervised text segmentation are based on the assumption of lexical cohesion, which is indicated by relations between words in the two units of text. However, they only take into account the reiteration,...

The purpose of this article is to identify grammatical and lexical forms cohesion in the discourse april 2022 issue kompas.com site's online news. This uses a descriptive qualitative method with text analysis type research. Data collection techniques are carried out by recording words, phrases, clauses sentences that have forms. Based on data obtained form cohesion, namely efficiency, substitut...

Semiotic interpretation of lexical cohesion is a major research challenge both in theoretical and applied linguistics. From the point of view of usagebased language description, individual lexical units can be roughly characterized by their collocation profiles, i.e., by collections of condensed usage patterns extracted from very large corpora. It is posited that related lexical units tend to s...

This paper presents an academic (non-commercial) lexicographic project called Dynamic Combinatorial Dictionary, which is currently being developed by members of the LACELL Research Group at the University of Murcia. The aim of this project is to bring e-Lexicography in closer alignment with lexical models that cannot be implemented in printed dictionaries. Theoretically, the project is informed...

In this paper we have studied some pairs of paraphrases which are present in a linguistic resource called badele.3000, a data base that contains more than 3,600 high frequency Spanish nouns and 2,800 high frequency Spanish verbs. The restricted combinatory of both kinds of words means more that 23,000 collocations, which are expressed by Lexical Functions, a tool of Meaning-Text Theory. Through...
