Abstract This study investigates the factors significantly constraining dative alternation in Chinese by adopting mixed-effects logistic regression modelling. The analysis showed that such affected choice of variants Chinese, including animacy, pronominality, and definiteness recipient, accessibility concreteness theme, length difference between theme recipient. Findings were compared with those for English discussed literature. When was recoverable from context or shorter than prepositional...
This article reviews corpus-based Chinese studies, both applied and theoretical, from the 1920s to present. It will be shown that, while studies have been gaining momentum for only last couple of decades, roots corpus linguistics go all way back beginning 20th century. Today bulk is oriented toward linguistics, with compilation frequency character/word lists interlanguage being most popular types research. In addition linguistic this overview also highlights some innovative on lexical...
Abstract This study compares the syntactic complexity between translational and non-translational English across four genres (i.e. fiction, news, general prose, academic prose) examines connections various forms degrees of measures explicitation. Fourteen indices were examined based on a one-million-word corpus (COTE) FLOB), respectively. shows that explicitation in translations varies with formality discourse. The most significant difference vis-à-vis is found which regarded as major...
Splittable Compounds (SCs henceforth) are a rather productive type of disyllabic verbal construction in Chinese, whose two morphological elements can be used together or separated by other interposing while the semantic integrity remains. The present study examines English translations SCs Chinese-English parallel corpus five million Chinese characters and words. takes form-meaning combined approach to structural differences non-correspondences between their translations. lexico-grammar...
Previous works have identified multiple factors and their interplay that condition the positioning of concessive adverbial clauses. This study continues this line research by 1) focusing exclusively on although-led clauses (although-clauses hereafter) among different clause relations; 2) supplementing factor set with more linguistic features, such as sentence-initial adverbials hedging terms; and, 3) extending generalizing scope competition semantic, discoursal processing motivators to a...
The retrieval performance of an information system usually increases when it uses the relationships among terms in a given document collection. To resolve problem that Belief Network model does not use term relationships, this paper presents extended with two layers by using word similarity index terms, and discusses new model's topology process. experimental result shows has better than original one.
Abstract Within the context of multilingualism, there has been burgeoning research interest in interlanguage varieties. This corpus‐based study investigated structural and functional variations phrase frames (p‐frames) argumentative writing by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners from Arabic, German, Hindi, Chinese language backgrounds. P‐frames, recurrent non‐contiguous co‐selection units within texts, were automatically extracted, manually filtered, analyzed for variability,...
Drawing on studies in media discourse analysis and advances natural language processing, data mining information access, a framework for automated sentiment of news report from Western mainstream is proposed preliminary experiment reported this paper. The system architecture comprises (1) the identification Chinese-English equivalent query expressions; (2) construction domain linguistic knowledge bases; (3) recovery events; (4) over texts. workflow consists two phases, i.e. an offline...
Abstract As a cover term for the negotiation of propositional information and reader engagement, metadiscourse has gained considerable attention from scholars academic discourse. Recent studies have extended to previously unexplored structures that realize metadiscourse, such as ‘metadiscursive nouns’ (Jiang Hyland 2018. Nouns interactions: A neglected feature metadiscourse. Applied Linguistics 39. 508–531). Among various linguistic resources, verbs are often regarded element undertaking...
Abstract Concessive clause positioning as a result of multi-cue competition has been widely examined in L1 and L2 English learners. This study furthers the present research by examining patterns among contingency, transfer, salience factors concessive Chinese EFL We extracted 1,356 subordinations conjoined although though from native learner argumentative essays, used multifactorial models to examine effectiveness, tuning tendency, power ranking cues that tune positions. A critical...
