In this paper, we explore the possibility that machine learning approaches to naturallanguage processing being developed in engineering-oriented computational linguistics may be able to provide specific scientific insights into the nature of human language. We argue that, in principle, machine learning results could inform basic debates about language, in one area at least, and that in practice...

English Historical Linguistics has a rich and long-standing tradition of corpus-based work (cf. the surveys in Rissanen 2008, Kytö 2012). Resources such as the HELSINKI corpus, the BROWN family of corpora, and ARCHER have spawned active research programs for the study of lexical and grammatical change, both long-term (Curzan 2008) and short-term (Mair 2008). In addition, corpus resources inform...

The advent of usage-/exemplar-based approaches has resulted in a major change in the theoretical landscape of linguistics, but also in the range of methodologies that are brought to bear on the study of language acquisition/learning, structure, and use. In particular, methods from corpus linguistics are now frequently used to study distributional characteristics of linguistics units and what th...

configuration of urban land use arrangement system, how to divide and how to use urban lands are advantages of environmental, economic, social, politic and rightly forces. with extension of urbanization and development of urban and regional planning, this concept is more widely hold a special place in the form of projects such as: land preparation, framework planning, general and comprehensive,...

The book Praktická korpusová lingvistika - čínština (Practical Corpus Linguistics Chinese) by Ľuboš Gajdoš provides insight into the use of Chinese corpora from a user-oriented viewpoint and is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to gain better understanding language. It introduces key concepts categories grammar corpus linguistics, systematically guides user basics intermediate in both...
