Semantic prosody is typically referred to as an evaluative function of certain words or multiword items appearing within collocates positive negative meaning. The present study deals with the semantic (context properties) extended lexical units (ELUs) according psycholinguistic variables ‘valence’ (emotional positivity), ‘arousal’ (excitement, mood-enhancement), and ‘concreteness’. object inves...

We show that Horrock’s criterion for the splitting of vector bundles on Pn can be extended to vector bundles on multiprojective spaces and to smooth projective varieties with the weak CM property (see Definition 3.11). As a main tool we use the theory of n-blocks and Beilinson’s type spectral sequences. Cohomological characterizations of vector bundles are also showed.

The q-monopole bundle introduced previously is extended to a general construction for quantum group bundles with non-universal differential calculi. We show that the theory applies to several other classes of bundles as well, including bicrossproduct quantum groups, the quantum double and combinatorial bundles associated to covers of compact manifolds.

Linguistic ontologies, most notably WordNet [1], have been shown to be a valuable resource for a variety of natural language processing applications. Presently, linguistic ontologies are largely constructed by hand, which is both difficult and expensive. A central problem that demands an automated solution is the discovery and incorporation of lexical semantic relations, or semantic relations b...

Writing academic texts by novice researchers requires a framework and support by learning how to cite the works of others. However, compared to the studies on other academic writings, studying citations by considering certainty markers has received little attention. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the shifts of certainty markers (hedges and boosters) in pre- and post-citation ...

In this paper, we want to describe a tag-ger/lemmatiser for Dutch medical vocabulary , which consists of a full-form dictionary and a morphological recogniser for unknown vocabulary coupled to an expert system-like disambiguation module. Attention is also paid to the main datastructures: a lexical database and feature bundles implemented as directed acyclic graphs. Some evaluation results are p...

Lexical chains between two concepts are sequences of semantically related words interconnected via semantic relations. This paper presents a new approach for the automatic construction of lexical chains on knowledge bases. Experiments were performed building lexical chains on WordNet, Extended WordNet, and Extended WordNet Knowledge Base. The research addresses the problems of lexical chains ra...

Marchand, Tim. 2013. Speech in written form? A corpus analysis of computer-mediated communication. Linguistic Research 30(2), 217-242. This paper investigates the nature of computer-mediated communication (CMC) and examine whether CMC more closely resembles written or spoken language in its structure and organization. The CMC in this paper refers to messages posted on the BBC’s Have Your Say we...
