Annotating Korean Demonstratives

چکیده
This paper presents preliminary work on a corpus-based study of Korean demonstratives. Through the development of an annotation scheme and the use of spoken and written corpora, we aim to determine different functions of demonstratives and to examine their distributional properties. Our corpus study adopts similar features of annotation used in Botley and McEnery (2001) and provides some linguistic hypotheses on grammatical functions of Korean demonstratives to be fur-

Annotating Particle Realization and Ellipsis in Korean
We present a novel scheme for annotating the realization and ellipsis of Korean particles. Annotated data include 100,128 Ecel (a spacebased word unit) in spoken and written corpora composed of four different genres in order to evaluate how register variation contributes to Korean particle ellipsis. Identifying the grammatical functions of particles and zero particles is critical for deriving a...
متن کاملComplex demonstratives as quantifiers: objections and replies

Many philosophers had held that demonstratives, both simple and complex, are referring terms. Since the publication of CD various objections to the account of complex demonstratives I defended in it have been raised. In the present work, I lay out the...
متن کاملDemonstratives in Philosophy and Linguistics
Demonstrative noun phrases (e.g., that guy, this) are of interest to philosophers of language and semanticists because they are sensitive to demonstrations or speaker intentions. The interpretation of a demonstrative therefore sheds light on the role of the context in natural language semantics. This survey reviews two types of approaches to demonstratives: Kaplan’s direct reference treatment o...
متن کاملHow Mutual Knowledge Constrains the Choice of Anaphoric Demonstratives in Japanese and English
It has been widely acknowledged that the choice of Japanese demonstratives (the distal a-series, the medial so-series, and the proximal ko-series) in their anaphoric use is regulated by the rules concerned with the interlocutors’ knowledge of the referent. In crosslinguistic discussions of anaphoric demonstratives, on the other hand, the effect of the interlocutors’ knowledge of the referent ha...
متن کاملA Corpus-based Study of Developmental Stages of Demonstratives in Chinese English Majors’ Writing
On the basis of comparisons between the corpus of English Majors’ Composition of Ludong University (EMC corpus) and other corpora as well as among different levels in EMC corpus, this thesis studies the feature of using frequency and stages of development of demonstratives used by Chinese English Majors. The result reveals that English Majors of lower and higher grades tend to overuse and under...
