. Evidentiality is one of the important issues in the recent studies of linguistic typology whereby the Korean evidentials are not so much talked about. In Korean the evidentiality is not so systematically represented as other grammatical categories such as tense or honorifics. But it does have some means for …...

. This study assesses the influence of semantic space on the acquisition of verbal lexicon. The studied one hundred and fifty action verbs extracted from the experimental data in M3 project are classified into clusters in terms of meaning specificity. The semantic space variation of different clusters is examined in …...

. In this paper we define a lexical metrology in graphs of verbal synonymy to com- pute the flexsemic score of speakers from their verbal productions in action denomination tasks. This flexsemic score is used to automatically categorize young children versus young adults. We show that this score is effective …...

In this paper we describe the data that will be used to compare the semantic struc- tures that emerge from synonymy in French and in Mandarin. We aim at studying these semantic structures at both a global, lexicographic level, using lexicons, synonymy and trans- lation dictionaries and at a more …...

. This paper describes an ongoing collaborative project, between Japanese and U.S. universities, that aims to build, analyze and use comparable learner corpora in an attempt to promote discourse-level proficiency in foreign language learning contexts. The focus is placed on discourse coherence created by reference to nominal and clausal entities. …...

This paper describes the design and implementation of an interface to corpora in 12 languages, stemming from the analysis of the needs of a diverse group of users: lan- guage teachers and language students, (non-computational) linguists, researchers in history and translation studies. We identified a set of requirements shared across …...

. In this paper we will expand on the creation and structure of the DynaSAND database as a case study of a corpus tool. Furthermore we will focus on its implementation in other search engines, thereby illustrating how the underlying data is decoupled from its original interface and used in …...

. This paper describes the Nordic Dialect Corpus, a corpus that consists of transcribed spoken dialects, with sound and video, from five North European languages (Danish, Faroese, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish). The paper focuses on recent developments that have been added as a result of wishes expressed by the …...

. For many linguistic investigations, the first step is to find examples. In the 21st century, they should all be found, not invented. Thus linguists need flexible tools for finding even quite rare phenomena. To support linguists well, they need to be fast even where corpora are very large and …...

. This paper describes how recently developed techniques for suffix array construc- tion and compression can be expanded to bring a new data structure, called parallel suffix array, into existence, which is suitable as an in-memory representation of large annotated corpora, enabling complex queries and fast extractions of the context …...

. This paper describes and evaluates the automatic grammatical annotation of a chat and an e-mail corpus of together 117 million words, using a modular Constraint Grammar system. We discuss a number of genre-specific issues, such as emoticons and personal pronouns, and offer a linguistic comparison of the two corpora …...

. The compositional operation of a predicate can be very complex. This paper captures a full picture of such an operation through investigating genuine corpus data of Chinese perception verb “看” (kàn, look at). The study reveals that context and qualia structure can affect the meaning of verb-argument composition of …...

. This paper studies the adjectival modification to nouns in Mandarin Chinese based on selective binding. The main findings include: ⑴An adjective can select different types of head nouns as arguments and an adjective may modify an individual or an event. ⑵The qualia structure of a noun helps us better …...

. In this study, our purpose was to make a short summary for sentences. For ex- ample, we aimed to make a short summary “terror” for sentences “A bomb went off. Some people were killed. This was triggered by rebel campaign.” In this study, we proposed a new method that …...

. The development of the Web services lets many users easily provide their opinions recently. Automatic summarization of enormous sentiments has been expected. Intuitively, we can summarize a review with traditional document summarization methods. However, such methods have not well-discussed “aspects”. Basically, a review consists of sentiments with various aspects. …...

. This paper investigates the developmental process through which L2 learners acquire two „imperfective‟ aspect markers in Korean, -ko iss- (progressive and resultative) and -a iss- (resultative) which attempts to identify language-general and language-specific patterns in the L2 acquisition of the Korean imperfective aspect by Japanese learners by comparing the …...

. Sindhi is a morphologically rich language. Morphological construction include inflections and derivations. Sindhi morphology becomes more complex due to primary and secondary word types which are further divided into simple, complex and compound words. Sindhi nouns are marked by number gender and case. Finite state transducers (FSTs) quite reasonably …...

. Recently, M.-J. Kim (2008) provided a reformulation of the Relevancy Condition on kes-relative clauses (kes-RCs) (Kim, Y.-B. 2002), the so-called internally headed relative clauses in Korean. In her analysis, the bipartite conditions of Kim (2002), one involving simultaneity between the main and the relative clause and the other involving …...

. We proposed a method of using machine learning with various features for the recognition of Japanese notational variants. We increased 0.06 at the F-measure by specific features using existing dictionaries and character pairs useful for recognizing notational vari- ants and obtained 0.91 at the F-measure for the recognition of …...

. We propose a method to detect Japanese nasty comments from posts on bulletin board systems (BBS). Nasty comments can cause many social problem, because they express potentially harmful words and phrases. There are methods to recognize harmful words, but they are insufficient. Therefore, we present a method for detecting …...
