one of the most important and brilliant aspects in each language is the collocation that finally add up to lexical coherence . coming together in semantics considers as one of the semantic relationships at lexical level that appears at all languages , and doesnt specialize for a certain language . mean while .the study of pre-islamic period poem about coming together is a significant affair . t...

Considering that we are observing and describing the behaviour of the terminological units and the terminological collocations, we intend to talk about the value of the verb as a nuclear element of the terminological collocation in the Portuguese language. So we will empathize the theoretical distinction between multilexemic terminological unit and terminological collocation and the importance ...

This paper describes an experiment on extracting Hungarian multi-word lexemes from a corpus, using statistical methods. Corpus preparation—the addition of POS tags and stems—was done automatically. From the corpus, 〈verb+noun+casemark〉 patterns were extracted as collocation candidates. Evaluation shows that the statistical methods used by Villada Moirón (2004a) to identify Dutch V + PP collocat...

In this paper we have studied some pairs of paraphrases which are present in a linguistic resource called badele.3000, a data base that contains more than 3,600 high frequency Spanish nouns and 2,800 high frequency Spanish verbs. The restricted combinatory of both kinds of words means more that 23,000 collocations, which are expressed by Lexical Functions, a tool of Meaning-Text Theory. Through...

People with Broca's aphasia (PBA) have been commonly known to show difficulties in expressing language. The speech partner of PBA assumes that PBA’s utterances do not make sense. In fact, ideas arbitrarily. Pragmatically, their communication can still be analyzed. This study aims explain the verbal and non-verbal language characteristics PBA. To achieve this goal, a qualitative approach was car...

the importance and howness of language learning/ acquisition has been a great concern for decades. there are many factors that play important roles in this regard. this research compared the performance of native persian and english elementary students to see if there is any significant difference between the two groups and which type of collocation they performed better within the groups. for ...

The present study examines English patent documents extracted from LexisNexis. We compiled a reference corpus of independent claim texts and lay the focus specifically on their collocation features. The findings suggest the functional development of independent claim involves verb-noun collocation and semantic prosody. Verb-noun collocations happen to function as semantic trigger affected by se...

the link between studies in discourse analysis and corpus linguistics has created new fields of research previously unattended. one of these areas is the study of semantic prosody produced through frequent collocation of a lexical item with a collection of words. semantic prosody is the positive, negative or neutral shade of meaning which a seemingly neutral word adopts after frequent collocati...

Much interest has recently been directed toward the knowledge of collocations in the field of second language learning since they have been asserted to improve fluency. The current study was intended to examine the effect of verbal and visuospatial working memory spans on the processing of collocations using a Self-Pace Reading Task (SPRT) and relevant working memory tasks. To this end, partici...
