An Overview of Corpus-based Studies of Semantic Prosody

The study of semantic prosody (SP) is a brand new area in linguistic field. It has found great potential applications in dictionary compiling, translation, and second language acquisition etc. This paper reviews SP studies both in and out of China. Some related issues, such as definitions of SP, its origin, development and classification are discussed. Finally, its applications are reviewed.

A Corpus-Based Analysis of Geometric Constraints on Projective Prepositions

This paper presents a corpus-based method for automatic evaluation of geometric constraints on projective prepositions. The method is used to find an appropriate model of geometric constraints for a twodimensional domain. Two simple models are evaluated against the uses of projective prepositions in a corpus of natural language dialogues to find the best parameters of these models. Both models ...

Machine Translation - Corpus Linguistics

Due to the importance of communication between two or more people, companies, or even nations, the need for good translators has long been obvious around the world, and since humans are faulty, it is not surprising that many attempts to automate the process of translation have been made throughout history. This is called machine translation. Corpus linguistics, a branch of the machine translati...
