Modeling the locative alternation in Mandarin Chinese International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-06-13 Mengmin Xu, Fuyin Li, Benedikt Szmrecsanyi
The current study investigates the probabilistic conditioning of the Mandarin locative alternation. We adopt a corpus-based multivariate approach to analyze 2,836 observations of locative variants from a large Chinese corpus and annotated manually for various language-internal and language-external constraints. Multivariate modeling reveals that the Mandarin locative alternation is not only influenced

The inverse frequency effect International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-06-13 David Temperley
Rare syntactic constructions show an especially strong tendency to be repeated, but some rare constructions exhibit this tendency much more strongly than others. The reasons for this variation are not well understood. This exploratory study examines five rare noun-phrase (NP) expansions in English: (the rich), (a Bob Gates), (architect Julia Morgan), (the jobs data), and (home electronic equipment)

Pinpointing prescriptive impact International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-06-13 Beth Malory
This paper presents a single-author case study which demonstrates that the statistical modelling technique change point analysis (CPA) can provide compelling evidence of prescriptive impact at an idiolectal level. It has been hypothesized that Late Modern English review periodicals consistently pushed a prescriptive agenda, and that this impacted language use (McIntosh, 1998; Percy, 2009). A lack of

Keywords of the manosphere International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-02-08 Mark McGlashan, Alexandra Krendel
This paper examines language used in five of the largest manosphere communities on Reddit (r/TheRedPill, r/braincels, r/MensRights, r/seduction, and r/MGTOW) to identify idiosyncratic language use within these communities. To do so, a novel methodology which combines key-key-word analysis with notions from set theory was used to identify and compare keywords between corpora and to find keywords that

Association measures for collocation extraction International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-02-08 Qi Su, Chen Gu, Pengyuan Liu
In this study, we propose a new evaluation scheme to assess the strengths and limitations of collocation extraction measures and explore type-sensitive methods for extracting collocations. We introduced the pooling strategy widely used in Information Retrieval and automated the evaluation process using online dictionaries. Sixteen well-known metrics are evaluated based on their effectiveness and then

Concordancing for CADS International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-02-08 Mathew Gillings, Gerlinde Mautner
Concordance analysis is widely recognised as one of the main techniques in a corpus linguist’s toolkit. However, despite a growing body of work critically exploring previously unquestioned mainstays of corpus methods (Mautner, 2015; Taylor & Marchi, 2018), this has not focused on concordance analysis specifically. In this paper, we aim to discuss issues that researchers may encounter when interpreting

Metaphorical polysemy of the Chinese color term hēi 黑 “black” International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-02-08 Meichun Liu, Jinmeng Dou
This paper reports a corpus-based, cognitive semantic study on profiling the varied uses of the Chinese color term hēi 黑 “black” with regard to its metaphorical polysemy. We hypothesize that the semantic (dis)similarities among the eight metaphorical meanings of hēi “black” can be captured by clustering their contextual features, including collocational patterns, morphosyntactic and semantic properties

Annotation uncertainty in the context of grammatical change International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-07-19 Marie-Luis Merten, Marcel Wever, Michaela Geierhos, Doris Tophinke, Eyke Hüllermeier
This paper elaborates on the notion of uncertainty in the context of annotation in large text corpora, specifically focusing on (but not limited to) historical languages. Such uncertainty might be due to inherent properties of the language, for example, linguistic ambiguity and overlapping categories of linguistic description, but could also be caused by a lack of annotation expertise. By examining

Differences in syntactic annotation affect retrieval International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-07-19 Eva Zehentner, Marianne Hundt, Gerold Schneider, Melanie Röthlisberger
Prepositional phrases (PPs) play an important part in English argument structure constructions, but pose considerable challenges for linguistic investigations of any kind. In addition to the fact that PP-attachment is generally notoriously difficult to model computationally, a particularly striking methodological challenge in investigating verb-dependent PPs across (synchronic and/or diachronic) corpora

Assessing word commonness International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-07-19 Mikkel Ekeland Paulsen
The article investigates the two main corpus indicators of word commonness, frequency and dispersion, through a cross-validation analysis of frequency and four dispersion measures (‘Range’, ‘Chi-squared’, ‘Deviation of Proportions’ and ‘Juilland’s D’). The approach provides an estimation of the capacity of the named measures to predict the distribution of corpus items in an extracted language sample

Things we smell and things they smell like International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-07-19 Thomas Poulton
The sense of smell has been relatively neglected in the Western research. It is not regarded as particularly useful compared to the perceived importance of senses like sight, sound, and touch. Correspondingly, English speakers are ill-equipped to describe qualities of smells, instead invoking entities that share similar olfactory qualities, e.g. like roses. This raises the question: which odours do

“You betcha I’m a ’Merican” International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-07-20 Tomoharu Hirota, Laurel J. Brinton
This article studies you bet and related phrases when they are used as a parenthetical and as a free-standing response. Drawing on a range of corpora, we provide both contemporary and historical perspectives on the set of pragmatic expressions that has largely escaped scholars’ attention. Synchronically, we demonstrate that they are colloquial American pragmatic markers to express speaker certainty/affirmation

A proposal for the inductive categorisation of parenthetical discourse markers in Spanish using parallel corpora International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-07-20 Hernán Robledo, Rogelio Nazar
We propose a method for the automatic induction of categories of Spanish discourse markers using parallel corpora, based on a quantitative and empirical approach that minimises explicit linguistic knowledge. We conducted the analysis the using a large Spanish-English parallel corpus. First, we used this corpus to obtain a list of parenthetical discourse markers in each language. Then, we used it as

When loanwords are not lone words International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-07-20 David Trye, Andreea S. Calude, Te Taka Keegan, Julia Falconer
Networks are being used to model an increasingly diverse range of real-world phenomena. This paper introduces an exploratory approach to studying loanwords in relation to one another, using networks of co-occurrence. While traditional studies treat individual loanwords as discrete items, we show that insights can be gained by focusing on the various loanwords that co-occur within each text in a corpus

LBiaP International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-05-15 Viviana Cortes, William Lake
Overlapping bundles, that is, shorter lexical bundles that are totally or partially embedded in longer expressions, may prove problematic in the structural and functional classification of bundles. For example, many studies in the literature focus only on four-word lexical bundles and conduct extensive structural and functional analysis of those bundles. However, most scholars have not considered the

Register variation across text lengths International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-05-15 Aatu Liimatta
This paper explores variation in lexico-grammatical register features across text lengths in a large-scale sample of Reddit comments. Very short texts are known to be problematic for many statistical methods, so understanding their nature is important for the corpus-linguistic study of social media, where most contributions are short. I show that the frequencies of linguistic features change with comment

Towards a corpus-based description of speech-gesture units of meaning International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-05-15 Yaoyao Chen, Svenja Adolphs
The theories and methods in corpus linguistics (CL) have had an impact on numerous areas in applied linguistics. However, the interface between CL and multimodal speech-gesture studies remains underexplored. One fundamental question is whether it is possible, and even appropriate, to apply the theories and paradigms established based on textual data to multimodal data. To explore this, we examine how

Annotating dialogue acts in speech data International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-05-15 Darinka Verdonik
The aims of this paper are to detect the most problematic issues related to dialogue act annotation in speech corpora and to define basic categories of dialogue acts. I critically examine and test generic schemes that represent different lines of dialogue act annotation: AMI, DART, ISO 24617–2 and SWBD-DAMSL. It is found that the most problematic issues regarding dialogue act annotation are related

Question illocutionary force indicating devices in academic writing International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-01-26 Niall Curry
Corpus research on questions as reader engagement markers in academic writing typically focuses on direct questions. Such questions are signalled by question marks and are relatively easily searchable in a corpus. However, indirect questions can be more challenging to identify, as they can be introduced by a range of forms. Based on a contrastive analysis of a corpus of English, French, and Spanish

The rise of colligations International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-01-26 Olav Hackstein, Ryan Sandell
This article examines the lexically parallel English and German constructions can’t stand somebody/something and jemanden/etwas nicht ausstehen können “not tolerate (someone or something)”, from synchronic, diachronic, and quantitative perspectives. Syntactic and semantic restrictions suggest that the usage of stand and ausstehen in the relevant sense is older than other semantically similar verbs

Derivation and semantic autonomy International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-01-26 Iwona Kraska-Szlenk, Beata Wójtowicz
The article focuses on the polysemy and usage patterns of the Polish lexeme głowa “head” and its diminutive główka. Based on corpus methodology and cognitive linguistics analysis, it is argued that the two lexemes are too autonomous in their meanings than predicted by their morphological relatedness. As the two words cover different semantic domains, we observe that the diminutive suffix has developed

New methods for analysing diachronic suffix competition across registers International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2022-10-20 Paula Rodríguez-Puente, Tanja Säily, Jukka Suomela
This paper tracks stylistic variation in the use of two roughly synonymous suffixes, the Romance -ity and the native -ness, during the Early Modern English period. We seek to verify from a statistical viewpoint the claims of Rodríguez-Puente (2020), who reports on a decrease of -ness in favour of -ity in registers representative of the speech-written and formal-informal continua at that time. To this

Volatile concepts International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2022-10-20 Susan Fitzmaurice, Seth Mehl
This paper demonstrates the value of studying co-occurrence ‘quads’ – constellations of four non-adjacent lemmas that consistently co-occur across spans of up to 100 tokens – for understanding discursive change. We map meaning onto quads as ‘discursive concepts’, which encompass encyclopaedic semantics, pragmatics, and context. We investigate a high-frequency quad with high co-occurrence strength in

Keywords through time International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2022-10-20 Isobelle Clarke, Gavin Brookes, Tony McEnery
This paper applies a new approach to the identification of discourses, based on Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA), to the study of discourse variation over time. The MCA approach to keywords deals with a major issue with the use of keywords to identify discourses: the allocation of individual keywords to multiple discourses. Yet, as this paper demonstrates, the approach also allows us to observe

The affordances of metaphor for diachronic corpora & discourse analysis International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2022-10-20 Charlotte Taylor
This paper examines the utility of metaphor as an investigative tool in “long-distance” corpora and discourse studies. I show that metaphor is both important for understanding discourses and useful for diachronic analysis because it allows us to abstract out above the purely lexical level, enabling comparison across contexts where the same concept could be lexicalised differently. The case-study is

Exploring the impact of lexical context on word association responses International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2022-07-13 Peter Thwaites
In word association tasks, participants respond with the first word that comes to mind on seeing a given cue. These responses are generally assumed to be influenced by a number of factors, including cue semantics, form, and textual distribution. Previous studies exploring the third of these influences have used pairwise association measures, such as mutual information, to evaluate the extent to which
