Detection of multiword expressions is an important pre-task in several research topics such as natural language understanding, automatic text summarization, and machine translation in the area of natural language processing. In this study, detection of multiword expressions in Turkish texts is accepted as a classification problem. 6 types of linguistic features are defined solving this problem in...
In this work we use text analysis to analyze communication on a set of Swedish immigration critic alternative media sites. Our analysis is focused on detecting narratives containing xenophobic and conspiratorial stereotypes. We are also interested in identifying differences in emotional tone and pronoun use in a comparison with traditional media. For our analysis we have used the text analysis tool...
As a forerunner of the principles and the canons of the mechanical didactics, we analyze the whole system of educational norms inherent in the technical domain. Through the force/power of the written word we always try to rebuild worlds and mirrors of the surrounding reality. The world is invested with an omnipotent force. It can create theories and visions which may change the traditional optics...
This paper describes a work-in-progress to identify and categorize metaphorical language use in a large corpus of historical German novels. An unsupervised learning method is utilized to detect metaphorical expressions and underlying conceptual metaphors. Furthermore, an extension is proposed that allows for the analysis of diachronic developments of modeled metaphor types. A corpus ranging from the...
The aim of this work is to present an ongoing research relating to the use of Twitter by the media; a corpus of 3000 tweets from three TV politic shows are being analized (Los desayunos de TVE, in the public channel TVE1, and Las Mañanas Cuatro and Al Rojo Vivo, of private channels Cuatro and La Sexta) and a corpus of 1523 tweets responses produced by followers. The analysis model used is a neuropragmatic...
This paper presents ongoing work on the extraction of Arabic reported speech, made by Lebanese politicians, from Arabic Lebanese newspapers. This work is part of a functional system for extraction, presentation and archiving of reported speech made by Lebanese politicians, which constitutes a valuable resource for political analysts, press agents, company researchers and political actors. The system...
Annotation is a tedious and time consuming process. Natural language processing requires a lot of analysis and information regarding words and segment of sentence. Information regarding word using POS tagger, parser and other tool can be gathered, but still due to scarcity of language resources annotation of genre is required for further studies. In this working paper we propose a semiautomatic method...
The survey of the use of code-mixing buzzwords among Chinese university students indicates that there are significant differences between students of different genders, regions and levels of English. These differences are closely related to these social characteristics of the language users themselves.
The paper proposed new ideas and algorithms for the aggregate problem of connection number of vague linguistic interval based on connection number theory of set pair analysis. The main idea is to transform Vague language interval variables into the countenance, difference and opposite connection numbers of set pair analysis, and transform the corresponding decision matrix into grey connection number...
The goal of this study was to examine how language background affects tonal identification in speech and non-speech signals for Mandarin-Chinese and American-English native speakers. The fundamental frequency (F0) contour was systematically manipulated from tone 4 (falling), to tone 1 (level), and to tone 2 (rising) for three types of signals: Chinese vowel, English vowels, and non-speech (tonal glide)...
Though an important task in natural language processing, discourse relation recognition has not until recently received as much attention as it deserves, maybe due to its complexity. In Chinese, discourse relations are mostly implicit, making the task even harder. There are more explicit discourse relations in English than Chinese. In this paper, we propose a new approach to Chinese discourse relation...
With the globalization processing, intercultural communication and communicative failures have become more and more frequent. Cultural differences have become the major source of communicative failures. So it is necessary and important to raise intercultural communicative awareness. The author first analyzed the necessity of raising intercultural communication awareness, then discussed the principle...
Following the Computing With Words, in its wider sense, this paper examines the treatment of prepositions with fuzzy logic. In particular, the paper looks at the treatment of two prepositions, in and on, from both the theoretical perspective and that of a text sample analysis. We have shown that the fuzzy analysis of prepositional meaning is helpful for its formal and computational representation,...
In 21st century, computer English keeps updated with the new invention of computer science and technology. The translation of computer English becomes increasingly important and more and more difficult. In this research, the authors who have rich experience in computer English translation will study the syntactic characteristics of computer English and discuss the corresponding translation strategies.
This paper describes an approach for using an ontological structure to analyze Yami ika-emotion phrases. The study of the emotion phrases of the Austronesian language is still in a very early stage. In this study, we designed an approach of using an ontology to simulate the previous study on emotion and cognition of another Philippine language. Based on the implementation and experimental results,...
Metaphor is the result of human mind conceptualizing the world. In many previous studies about metaphor, space and time are thought to be the two most fundamental concepts in cognition, by which other concepts are constructed. Nevertheless, discussion of the metaphoric structuring of time in natural language is rare, not to mention the time concept in Chinese. This paper aims to evaluate whether the...
With the rapid rise of ESP in China in recent years, it's imperative that we should look deeper into the cognitive mechanism of the curriculum. The article explores the relationship between cognitive linguistics and English learning in China and analyzes its implications on the practice of ESP curriculum, including course design, textbook compilation, and teaching personnel development, etc.
As a classic example for static equilibrium game-theory, "Boxed pigs" is widely used. But in empirical methods, the legitimacy of "Boxed pigs" also has attracted widespread debate. Through the analysis of epistemology and complex scientific management methodology, it is proofed that "boxed pigs" not only belongs to empirical proposition, but also belongs to analytic proposition...
The distinction between langue and parole has contributed a lot to the development of the linguistics, which has not only a theoretical sense in the language research and study but also a practical meaning in the practical foreign language education. In this paper, on the basis of the distinction between langue and parole, the author makes a tentative comparison between the two terms and Chomsky's...
Humorous language cannot stand by its own since language makes sense only in the position of discourse, in the situational and cultural context. Discourse Analysis has an interpretive power to count for humor.
