OBJECTIVES In the context of social convoy theory, the purposes of the study were (a) to identify an empirical typology of the social networks evident in older Korean immigrants and (b) to examine its association with self-rated health and depressive symptoms. METHOD The sample consisted of 1,092 community-dwelling older Korean immigrants in Florida and New York. Latent class analyses were co...

The collection of papers in the present volume represents the convergence of two research communities who had the common goal of exploring the formal basis of evidentiality. In the fall of 2007, a research seminar focusing on the cross-linguistic typology of evidentials was held at UBC. In the spring of 2008, GLOW hosted a workshop on the semantics evidentials whose broad goal of the workshop w...

The EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) requires river assessment systems based on benthic invertebrates. The AQEM project is developing, at a European scale, such a methodology, based on a comparison of communities of reference streams and degraded streams. The project is focussing on three main impact types: morphological degradation, organic pollution and acidification. This paper presents th...

Associated motion is a very little known category. Markers of associated motion encode, on a lexical verb, a motion event in a temporal relation with the event expressed by the lexical verb (and not just the path, as directionals do). The literature on associated motion is scarce, mostly restricted to Australian and Amazonian languages. The paper builds on the general literature on associated m...

Language documentation is important as a tool for preservation of endangered languages and making data available to speakers and researchers of a language. A data base such as TypeCraft is important for typology studies both for well documented languages as well as little documented languages and is a valid tool for comparison of languages. This requires that linguistic elements must be coded i...

Evaluative morphology (esp. augmentatives and diminutives) has been extensively discussed in the field of morphological typology (see e.g. Stump, 1993; Bauer, 1997; Grandi & Montermini, 2005; Körtvélyessy & Stekauer, 2011). Corpus-based descriptions of evaluative morphology, however, are still sorely lacking for many languages, including French. A first attempt at an exhaustive inventory and ge...

We outline the first application of Native Language Identification (NLI) to Finnish learner data. NLI is the task of predicting an author’s first language using writings in an acquired language. Using data from a new learner corpus of Finnish — a language typology quite different from others previously investigated, with its morphological richness potentially causing difficulties — we show that...
