Development Of Corpus Linguistics Research Articles

The Nominative Field of HAPPINESS Concept in the Middle English and Modern English Periods

Introduction. The article presents the result of the diachronical research of HAPPINESS concept nominative field. The research was conducted on the basis of English explanatory dictionaries and texts of corpus databases, using the methods of corpus linguistics. The relevance of the research is due to the insufficient development of the theoretical foundations for studying the evolution of nominations and components of the concept under study, and the development of corpus linguistics as one of the most relevant ways of studying concepts.Methodology and sources. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research is formed by cognitive linguistics studies by N.N. Boldyrev, Y.S. Stepanov, E.S. Kubryakova, E.A. Nielsen, Z.D. Popova, I.A. Sternin; conceptology studies, in particular, emotional concepts, and emotiology studies by N.A. Krasavsky, V.I. Shakhovsky and O.E. Filimonova. The empirical material of the study is based on the texts of English corpus databases, as well as articles of English explanatory and etymological dictionaries.Results and discussion. Based on the method of constructing the nominative field described by Popova and Sternin and using the material of English explanatory dictionaries for the Middle and Modern English, the core of HAPPINESS concept is revealed. Based on the texts of English corpus databases, using corpus linguistics methods, as well as the collocation search model compiled by the author, the concept’s nominative field’s peripheral components are identified. Based on the analysis, the proposed changes in the composition of the nominative field of the concept in diachrony are revealed.Conclusion. In conclusion, the results of the analysis of the nominative field of HAPPINESS concept are presented, and the provisions on the nature of the development of the concept in diachrony are put forward.

A Comparative Study of Synonyms Semantic Prosody of Effect, Impact and Influence Based on Corpus

The development of corpus linguistics and the establishment of different corpora provide effective and reliable evidence for the comparison of synonyms. This paper is going to compare and analyse the characteristics of semantic prosody of effect, impact and influence from register and collocation, with the methodology of quantitative and qualitative. The result shows that there exist discrepancies in using this group of words, that is, effect, impact and influence, which can serve as guidance for the research of synonym comparison.

ВИКОРИСТАННЯ ЛІНГВІСТИЧНИХ КОРПУСІВ У ВИВЧЕННІ СЛОВОБУДОВИ ДІАЛЕКТІВ АМЕРИКАНСЬКОГО ВАРІАНТУ СУЧАСНОЇ АНГЛІЙСЬКОЇ МОВИ

The article deals with the principles of using the concepts of corpus linguistics in studying American English dialects. The origins of corpus linguistics of American English dialects are considered, and developments in corpus linguistics by W. Francis and G. Kuchera are investigated (Brown Corpus, 1964). The concept of «corpus linguistics» is defined, and some problematic aspects are described. The qualifications for using the corpus-linguistic approach in the study of dialect grammatical features of American English are defined. The grammatical differences between British and American English are outlined. "Spoken English" is defined as how the latter was dialectical in the United States. The American dialects and Standardized American English are distinguished. Attention is focused on comparative and legal developments in corpus linguistics of British and American English (Brown and Lancaster Corps). Discographic studies of spoken American (dialectical) are mentioned: Lancaster/IBM SEC and Corpus of Spoken American English. The peculiarities of using the International Corpus of English, which studies British and American English in philological and methodological unity, are outlined. The processes of expanding the language corpus of the American English language from 1990 till the present (through the prism of statistics from The Bank of English) are determined. The main methodological developments in the systematization of the corpus of American English from the point of view of the theory of Corpus Linguistics are indicated: software corpus; problem-parametric industry selections; text transcription; search and system work; description encoding of "preserved" dialect words and word formations.

Corpus Linguistics: Theory Vs Methodilogy

The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the stages of formation and development of corpus linguistics. The purpose of the article is to analyze various scientific approaches to the scientific significance of this linguistic discipline and identify a set of concepts and criteria that form the foundation of this field. Corpus linguistics is one of the most promising and rapidly developing areas of language research. Linguistics of the XIX century set as its goal the study of language as such, and linguistics of the XXI century sees the relevance of the research not in identifying absolute linguistic categories and meanings but in the practical application of linguistic knowledge. The relevance of the article is determined by the fact that the linguistic corpus contains a vast potential, which the scientific community has not fully comprehended since the text as the main object of corpus linguistics in various forms of its implementation is one of the central components systems of language and speech-thinking activity of a modern native speaker of any language. The content and volume of linguistic corpora of various kinds allow obtaining reliable information about the modern and real use of a particular term: the corpus becomes a tool for analyzing the functioning of this term both in the linguistic field of morphology, syntax, and vocabulary and in the theory and practice of translation, identifying the register of its formal or informal usage. The fundamental novelty of this studys results allows us to speak about the legitimacy of the creation of corpus dictionaries and corpus grammars of a new generation, developed and verified concerning a specific fixed corpus. Simultaneously, the author substantiates the proposition that the corpus nature of dictionaries and grammars increases their reliability and objectivity and avoids the subjectivity that is often characteristic of research-based solely on the intuition of a linguist. The corpus is a medium for obtaining new scientific data, the comprehension of which seems to be a priority for modern linguistic description and necessary in the scientific activity of a modern researcher. From our point of view, this article's relevance and novelty lie in the fact that the expediency of corpus research is an essential requirement of the time, associated with a new quality of linguistic reality and meeting the needs of modern society. The article examines the main stages of the formation of corpus linguistics as a scientific field, characterizes the scientific concepts and approaches inherent in each of these stages, provides an overview of the main conceptual provisions of corpus linguistics within the framework of domestic and foreign linguistics. The author analyzes in detail the polemics between representatives of various scientific directions and reveals the advantages of one or another approach, traces the similarities and differences between approaches to the study of corpora at various historical stages of their formation. The review's focus is the role and place of corpus studies of language in modern linguistics, comparison of the pro and contra arguments of the use of corpus technologies in linguistic description. Considerable attention is paid to the main criteria for the classification of corpora, a brief overview of the most famous corpora in history is offered, and the prospects for their use in various fields of modern language science are discussed.

Application of Recommendation Algorithm and Big Data Technology in Computer English Corpus Database

Corpus linguistics is one of the branches of modern linguistics. It is also a cutting-edge research problem of modern linguistics spawned by the background of the information technology era. Corpus linguistics can reset the teaching role of English majors. College English vocabulary teaching makes use of the corpus’s abundant real language materials and the computer’s ability to analyze and process large-scale corpus, guide students to explore the usage of vocabulary in the context, and use the corpus to deepen students’ autonomous learning. This article will start with the development of corpus linguistics, explain the necessity of combining corpus and English language teaching, and propose a corpus linguistics-based English language learning platform system in colleges and universities, and combine with semantic recommendation algorithms to verify that the system is in English learning.

STAGES OF CREATING PARALLEL CORPUS OF ENGLISH-UZBEK SIMILES

In recent years, corpus linguistics has been mentioned in the scientific literature as the main tool for the elaboration of dictionaries and grammar manuals, the creation of corpus analysis, the practical use of corpus, as well as the statistical study of linguistic analysis using corpus. Articles, textbooks, manuals on the creation of general and special electronic corpus have been published, but as the Uzbek language is a relatively new field of corpus linguistics, there is a need for research on some issues. The development of corpus linguistics and the increasing focus on statistical methods of processing linguistic materials have led to the development of a number of techniques related to the usage of parallel or similar texts in different languages. This article is devoted to the stages of creating bilingual parallel corpus and explains the peculiarities of creating parallel corpus of texts. The creation of parallel corpus also has its own research stages. Statistical research in linguistics has a long history, especially since the advent of computers in the fifties of the twentieth century, research in this area has grown rapidly. The purpose of the study is to analyze the scientific views on the creation of the linguistic supply of the program of translation of similes on the basis of parallel texts (English-Uzbek, Uzbek-English), to study the linguistic basis and to study the lexical-semantic relationship of similes in bilingual vocabulary. This article deals with the creation of a parallel corpus of literary texts with English and Uzbek similes, analysis of lexical-semantic relations of similes, formation of a database of text segments based on translation alternatives of similes, scientific proof of linguistic models of English similes in translation and the effect of mentality is scientifically substantiated in the example of the translation of similes. A bilingual simile dictionary also plays an important role in creating a parallel corpus of similes. There is a great need for electronic dictionaries in the field of literary translation. The creation of bilingual and multilingual dictionaries, which embody the subtle nuances of the word, serves as a very important resource for translators, writers, poets, and language users.

Lexicogrammatical and Semantic Development in Academic Writing of EFL Learners: A Systemic Functional Approach

Many Japanese university students' English writing skills are insufficient despite completing at least six years of English language instruction before entering university. Several researchers have explored this topic. A corpus-based approach to this field, for example, has improved the understanding of the writing skills of learners of English. In Japan, the recent developments in corpus linguistics have enabled instructors and researchers to analyze English linguistic features written by Japanese EFL learners. For example, Mizusawa (2015) referred to the Japanese EFL learner Corpus, a collection of junior high and high school students' English essays, to investigate the linguistic features, such as lexical density, grammatical intricacy, and semantic variations framed by systemic functional linguistics (SFL). This paper aimed to examine English academic writings written by 38 Japanese university students. Their writings were analyzed in terms of lexical density and semantic features within the SFL frameworks. The results highlighted that the critical limitation in Japanese university students' writing skills suggested teaching students the lexicogrammatical differences between written and spoken modes of the English language.

Było, (nie) minęło. Przypomnienie tekstu Tony’ego McEnery’ego i Nicka Ostlera A New Agenda for Corpus Linguistics – Working with All of the World’s Languages

In this text I refererate and comment the work from two decades ago. I recall an article important for corpus linguistics – the work of Tony McEnery and Nick Ostler from 2000. In their paper they argue that corpus linguistics needs to expand to cover a wider set of languages. The challenge of building a multilingual corps is admittedly current. The development of corpus linguistics still depends on technical capabilities, but today we see significant changes in this field. In the article I not only present the reflections of British linguists, but I also show current and outdated problems.

Translating English Clefts and Pseudoclefts into Arabic A Parallel Corpus-Based Study

Translation practice, theorizing, as well as the long-held preoccupation with equivalence have all recently undergone cutting-edge changes by the development of corpus linguistics by the mid-nineties. Of course, corpus-based studies are not a novelty for translators; translators used to manually explore a parallel corpus (a ST and a TT) for documentation. Before the introduction of electronic data and software, translators had to extensively read through the texts in order to be able to extract any relevant information (O'Keeffe and McCarthy, 2010: 502). It was a tedious and tiring job even with relatively short stretches of texts.

Корпусная лінгвістыка як перспектыўны напрамак развіцця беларуска-польскіх моўных сувязей

The article provides information on the development of corpus linguistics in Belarus and Poland. The importance of creating parallel Belarusian-Polish and Polish-Belarusian parallel corpora is noted, the possible algorithm for building the corpora is given.

The Role of the Parallel Corpus in Linguistics, the Importance and the Possibilities of Interpretation

Convenient interface and search engine in the language corpus serves as an object of research. The development of corpus linguistics has become the basis for the development of language awareness, linguistic competence, philological sciences and technology. The research is mostly based on the analysis of parallel corpus and its possibilities in Uzbekistan.

English for Academic Skills Independence: Focus on Vocabulary.

What does it mean to know a word? When asked this question, students often appear flummoxed, lacking either the metalanguage or linguistic knowledge to articulate an insightful response. This paper argues that lexical awareness, coupled with an extensive vocabulary are essential components of the multiple academic literacies required of students. In order to support students’ vocabulary acquisition and understanding, Auckland University of Technology’s Student Learning: Puna Aronui (SL) has developed a targeted English language programme called English for Academic Skills Independence (EASI) with a clearly foregrounded vocabulary component. So, what does it mean to know a word? Using Nation’s (2001) framework we take as our point of departure the tripartite structure of form, meaning and usage. Under the heading of form, the main focus is on parts of speech and morphology (derivational roots and affixes). Under the heading of meaning, we consider first denotative and connotative meanings, touching on notions of concept development, then move on to explore sense relations (synonymy, antonymy, hyponymy, polysemy, metonymy). Under the heading of usage, our approach is informed by recent developments in corpus linguistics which yield frequency information leading to resources such as Coxhead’s (2000) Academic Word List; also included under the heading of usage are syntactic and lexico-grammatical considerations such as collocation and colligation. This paper will outline the theoretical approach taken in developing the vocabulary component of the EASI programme and report on feedback from both students and the teaching team. A strong sensitivity to vocabulary within academic discourses is fundamental to academic literacies development at tertiary level.

语料库辅助下的语块教学研究

语料库语言学的发展促进了词汇教学的研究和实践。本文以语料库为参照体系，从课堂和课外语块教学相结合，语块输入和输出相结合的角度，研究语块教学，实现学生在单词、句子和篇章层面的语块应用能力。 The development of Corpus Linguistics has promoted the research and practice of vocabulary teaching. The paper, taking the corpus as the reference system, studies the English chunk teaching from the combination between in-class teaching and outside-class teaching, and between chunk in-put and output, which aims to achieve the learners’ chunk application competence in the level of words, sentences and context.

Mètode filològic i lingüística de corpus: Una intersecció profitosa (o com enfrontar-se a mostres del CICA d’interpretació difícil)

The technological advances in computing and the development of corpus linguistics have revolutionized the methodology of diachronic linguistics with undeniable benefits in terms of speed of data collection and volume and diversity of these data. Unlike the philological method, based on reading and rereading a text, computerized corpora accessed with automatic search tools provide in seconds a large amount of samples taken from hundreds of works that the investigator may not have read thoroughly. The lack of deep familiarity with both the content and the language system of the texts cannot affect the grammatical interpretation of many fragments, but in relevant cases can be misleading, as we illustrate with some examples. The cautious analysis of unexpected records and its extensive contextualization before venturing an interpretation can help us overcome this obstacle.

Linguistic dimensions of impromptu test essays compared with successful student disciplinary writing: Effects of language background, topic, and L2 proficiency

One important validity question with regard to writing assessment is the degree to which performance on a timed writing test can predict performance on future academic writing. Recent developments in corpus linguistics have allowed scholars to describe in detail the linguistic features of a variety of academic texts, including genres of disciplinary writing and writing on essay tests, which can aid in answering this question. The purpose of this paper is to compare the linguistic features of test essays written by native and non-native speakers with a comparison corpus of successful student writing across a range of disciplines using Biber's (1988) multidimensional analysis framework. Essays written on two different test prompts were analyzed along dimensions of successful student writing revealed by an analysis of the Michigan Corpus of Upper-level Student Writing (MICUSP) conducted by Hardy and Römer (2013). Results demonstrated that test essays differed in significant ways from disciplinary writing, particularly in the natural and health sciences. Furthermore, language background (native vs. non-native), prompt, and language proficiency (i.e., essay scores) were systematically related to scores on all four dimensions. Implications for pedagogy and language assessment are discussed.

Recent developments in corpus linguistics and corpus-based research / Department of Linguistics and Modern Language Studies at the Hong Kong Institute of Education

Corpus linguistics has transformed the landscape of empirical research on languages in recent decades. The proliferation of corpus technology has enabled researchers worldwide to conduct research in their own geographical locations with few hindrances. It has become increasingly commonplace for researchers to compile their own corpora for specific research questions or to conduct research on the basis of corpora constructed by other researchers. Moreover, corpus linguistics has become accessible to language teachers, providing ideas, instructions and new opportunities to apply corpus techniques, corpus-based materials and activities in their classrooms (e.g., Bennett 2010; Reppen 2010; Scheffler 2011).

On the Application of Corpus of Contemporary American English in Vocabulary Instruction

The development of corpus linguistics has laid theoretical foundation and provided technical support for breaking the bottleneck in traditional vocabulary instruction in China. Corpora allow access to authentic data and show frequency patterns of words and grammar construction. Such patterns can be used to improve language materials or to directly teach students. Therefore, this paper discusses how the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) can be applied in vocabulary instruction in the following four different aspects: part of speech, collocation, morphology and word comparison. The above four aspects of application of COCA in vocabulary instruction and their examples have proved that corpora are robust in teaching.

The Development of ICAME and the Brown Family of Corpora

Knut Hofland has been closely and continuously connected with two seminal developments in the history of corpus linguistics: the development of the organization known as ICAME (in full: the International Computer Archive of Modern and Medieval English), and the development of the Brown Family of Corpora. The best way I can find to pay tribute to Knut's key contribution to corpus linguistics is to sketch the history of these two interconnected development of corpus linguistics, and of his role in them. Keywords : ICAME; Brown Family

한국어 어휘 교육 연구를 위한 이론의 고찰

There are two aims in this paper. Frist is to present the condition and prospect of Korean vocabulary education for foreigners through traditional teaching approach. Second is to find how to implement various approaches into Korean vocabulary education study. Vocabulary, in recent years, has assumed a more important role in second language acquisition, especially is influenced by the communicative approach, the lexical approach, and the development of corpus-linguistics. There is a need for review of current trends of vocabulary education studies in order to keep abreast of various studies. Six topics are discussed in this article: (1) vocabulary knowledge (2) explicit teaching and implicit learning vocabulary acquisition process and mental lexicon, (3) separating vocabulary, (4) multi-word chunks, (5) corpus, and (6) vocabulary learning strategies.

Korpuslinguistik - Corpus linguistics - Les linguistiques de corpus: Unterschiedliche Stile der Einführung in diese Disziplin? Lektüreerfahrungen eines der Einführung in die Korpuslinguistik bedürftigen weil blutigen Anfängers

In 2004, at the time of the seminar on German Corpus Linguistics held at Neuchatel, no introduction to this subdiscipline of German Linguistics was available. As a result, the author decided to describe, in his orally presented contribution to that seminar, his experiences in reading a French and an English book entitled Les linguistiques de corpus resp. Corpus Linguistics. In spite of the similarity of the titles, the differences in content and style were so great that even the dangerous notion of (different) national intellectual styles even came to mind. The French book turned out to be, in fact, not an introduction but a critical description of the actual state of art, whereas the English publication intends really to motivate and to inform the beginner. In the meantime just in time for the publication of the texts of 2004, there was published in 2006, the (nearly) ideal introduction to German Corpus Linguistics. It is reviewed in a short supplement to the text of 2004, as evidence for the rapid development of Corpus Linguistics as method and part of the linguistic description of natural languages and their use.
