Using the Text Corpus to Create a Comprehensive List of Phrasal Verbs
The paper describes extraction of Estonian multi-word verbs from text corpora, using a languageand task-specific software tool SENVA, which is based on a statistical language-independent software tool SENTA (Dias et al, 2000). The outcome is a comprehensive list of 16,000 phrasal verbs. We describe the extraction tool, manual post-editing principles, and evaluate the outcome in terms of precisi...
متن کاملA principled Cognitive Linguistics account of English phrasal verbs with up and out *
Many attempts have been made to discover some systematicity in the semantics of phrasal verbs. However, most research has investigated the semantics of particles exclusively; no study has examined how the multiple meanings of the verb also contribute to the meanings of phrasal verbs. The current corpus-based (COCA) study advances the research on phrasal verbs by examining the interaction of the...
متن کاملIdentifying Phrasal Verbs Using Many Bilingual Corpora
We address the problem of identifying multiword expressions in a language, focusing on English phrasal verbs. Our polyglot ranking approach integrates frequency statistics from translated corpora in 50 different languages. Our experimental evaluation demonstrates that combining statistical evidence from many parallel corpora using a novel ranking-oriented boosting algorithm produces a comprehen...
متن کاملIdentifying Text Genres Using Phrasal Verbs
Understanding the textual distinction between spokenness-informality and writtenness-formality serves many purposes. It can facilitate text mining, improve parser accuracy, offer better appraisals of student writing, and may also facilitate better interpretations of experimental data. Previous studies of such textual variation (e.g., Biber, 1988, Louwerse et al., 2004) have failed to produce a ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Conceptual Metaphor Awareness on Learning Phrasal Verbs by Iranian Intermediate EFL Learners
The ability to comprehend and produce phrasal verbs, as lexical chunks or groups of words which are commonly found together, is an important part of language learning. This study investigates the effect of ‘conceptual metaphor awareness’, as a newly developed technique in Cognitive Linguistics, on learning phrasal verbs by Iranian intermediate EFL learners. To meet this objective, two intact ho...
