This paper discusses the prospects of such context New Englishes and what kinds research insights deliver. We present Singapore English as a case study. suggest that despite many contact-derived lexical grammatical properties English, it is quite feasible to apply off-the-shelf American parser generate English.

Patients with Alzheimer's disease present difficulty in lexical retrieval and reversal of the concreteness effect nouns. Little is known about phenomena before onset symptoms. We anticipate early linguistic signs speech people who suffer from amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Here, we report results a corpus-linguistic approach to detection impairment.

Further to the idea suggested in Ooi (2000) that Sinclair's most recent lexical model can be considered for examining linguistic phenomena on Web such as electronic gaming, this paper proposes refine methodology discovering units of meaning popular online genre.

This dataset is first subjected integrated tool, WMatrix, which affords...
Abstract It is well‐known that Outer Circle English has undergone extensive contact‐induced lexical and grammatical restructuring. Is it possible to use common NLP tools developed for Inner process texts? Here, we report our experience of using the Stanford PoS tagger tag Singaporean component International Corpus (ICE‐SIN). We isolate two major contact‐related causes tagging errors: (1) loans directly borrowed from local languages; (2) English‐origin words with new meanings acquired...
Abstract It is well-documented that patients with semantic dementia and Alzheimer’s disease present difficulty in lexical retrieval reversal of the concreteness effect nouns verbs. Little known about phenomena before onset symptoms. We anticipate there are linguistic signs speech people who suffer from mild cognitive impairment (MCI), prodromal stage dementia.

This article proposes a ‘Concentric Circles Model’ (CCM) for diglossic ‘balancing’ of both prescriptivist and descriptivist concerns regarding English usage in Japan. The model draws on theories lexical priming cultural intelligence, characterises the construct ‘Japanese English’ as inseparable from speaker’s prior linguistic, societal experiences. Codification is an important step towards legitimisation non-native variety such Japanese English; at same time, dictionary has become more fluid...
