As the Internet has become widely accessible mailing list servers are being used increasingly to support collaborative discourse in scholarly communities. The majority of these communities are open and new users may join who have met few, if any, of the other list members, and come to know them primarily through email discourse. However, new members joining the discourse of an established group...

the mental association and the innovation of lingual and artistic relations on two syntagmatic and paradigmatic axis results in collocation in a literary speech. in the ordinary and formal language collocation is the necessary condition for a speech to be considered meaningful and coherent, but in literary language, there is a variety of aesthetic creativities and innovations that leads to the ...

This chapter describes a class of word groups that lies between idioms and free word combinations. Idiomatic expressions are those in which the semantics of the whole cannot be deduced from the meanings of the individual constituents. Free word combinations have the properties that each of the words can be replaced by another without seriously modifying the overall meaning of the composite unit...

This manuscript is to provide an action research report on the issues behind the prototyping of a student-centered creative knowledge environment (CKE), which focuses on developing student responsibility, making learning meaningful, promoting overt knowledge construction, performing learner assessment, and showcasing learner achievements. The primary idea is to create an electronic knowledge sp...

This paper investigates interactions between collocational properties and methods for organizing them into features for machine learning. In experiments performing an event categorization task, Wiebe et al. (1997a) found that different organizations are best for different properties. This paper presents a statistical analysis of the results across different machine learning algorithms. In the e...

The paper deals with the topic of corruption that has been understood as a global social problem since 1990s. Its theoretical background is rooted in theory constructivism. Social constructivism highlights strategy which increased discourse about particular implies and reflects growing interest society to arouse robust awareness issue problem. It analyses academic journals conference proceeding...

In his article "Academic Discourse and Narratives of Literacy as 'Equipment for Living'" Kris Rutten discusses practices of academic discourse and argues that students entering higher education have to become part of a specific community of institutional discourse. Rutten claims that narratives of and about literacy — narratives that revolve around issues dealing with language and the acquisiti...

We argue that lexical association measures (AMs) should be evaluated against a reference set of collocations manually extracted from the full candidate data, and that the notion of collocation needs to be precisely defined so that human collocativity judgments and experimental results are reproducible. We show that identification results achieved by particular AMs do not crucially depend on tex...

In this paper, we address the issue of integrating semantic lexicons into NLG systems and argue that the problem of lexical choice in generation can be approached only by such an integration. We take the approach of Generative Lexicon Theory (GLT) (Pnstejovsky, 1991, 1994c) which provides a system involving four levels of representation connected by a set of generative devices accounting for a ...
