postposing is a feature of spoken language. it is a process that postposes a preverbal constituent to a position after the verb, without changing the overall meaning of the sentence. in this study we focus on this linguistic phenomenon and its relation to factors such as grammatical weight, definiteness, animacy and information structure. to investigate the occurrence of this process and its in...

Recently, there has been great interest both in the development of cross-linguistically applicable annotation schemes and in the application of syntactic parsers at web scale to create parsebanks of online texts. The combination of these two trends to create massive, consistently annotated parsebanks in many languages holds enormous potential for the quantitative study of many linguistic phenom...

This paper presents a Chinese dependency syntax for treebanking. The syntax contains 13 word classes and 34 dependency types. A format of treebank based on the syntax is also proposed for the applications of computational and general linguistic research. Some experiments show that the treebank based on the proposed dependency syntax can be used for training and evaluating the dependency parser ...

Research has demonstrated that there is a strong relationship between positive affect (PA) and meaning in life. It has been suggested that this relationship may exist, in part, because PA facilitates a global cognitive focus, allowing a person to see ‘‘the big picture’’ of his or her life. Although it is possible global focus mediates the relationship between PA and meaning in life, it is also ...

This paper presents the syntactic annotation level of a project aimed at providing a small dialog corpus with multiple levels of annotation. The syntactic annotation is based on dependency syntax. We outline the reasons for choosing dependency, and show the syntactic annotation for some constructions. We finish by describing the current state of the project.

Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles is a futuristic, science fiction novel that chronicles the colonization of Mars by humans, projecting the United States’ colonial and immigrant past on to a symbolic future. Bradbury’s use of language is mostly picturesque and sensory. The present paper applies a text-oriented analysis of stylistic elements that construct meaning in the text and evoke the n...
