(1999). In this paper, we offer a refined analysis of -ness with insightful results.

The focus of interest lies in how the translators dealt with Hagrid''s dialect in order to compare what they have done with what Krings(1996) calls reduction strategy and Klingberg (1986) considers a standardization. The initial hypothesis was that both translators would reduce the dialectal marks using, in their translations, transpositions of the spoken variety to the written mode through dialectal marks. A bilingual parallel corpus was used to verify this hypothesis, which constitutes a subcorpus of PEPCo - Portuguese-English Parallel Corpus (FERNANDES; BARTHOLAMEI, 2009). After data analysis it was noticed that the Portuguese translator''s linguistic preferred or recurring patterns gives more emphasis on oral marks than the Brazilian translator''s style, but neither of them makes an option for translating the source-text dialect for an target-text dialect.

People came to know the importance of collocations in the acquisition of words long ago, it was due to the lack of proper tools like modern corpora and concordancers that people had been unable to systematically analyse and study the collocations of words. Collocation retrieval is to extract combinations of either habitually or grammatically related words from a corpus. With the achievement of collocation retrieval, quantitative measurements of collocational strength and presentation of salient collocations, Sketch Engine and some other concordancing programs provide us with unprecedented perspectives to examine the typical collocations of words. Their achievement represents a trend in the development of a new generation corpora. Corpora with collocation retrieval are becoming practical tools in foreign language teaching and study. The problems encountered in traditional approaches of discriminating synonyms will be readily solved. CAFLE COMPUTER-ASSISTED FOREIGN LANGUAGE EDUCATION

In the main part, we demonstrate the use of collocation evidence for the construction of Fillmorian semantic frames for four ex-pressions in the ‘War’ domain – FIGHT WAR, DECLARE WAR, BATTLEFIELD and BATTLEGROUND. We combine manual categorisation of collocates identified in concordance lines extracted from the British National Corpus (BNC) with automatically derived collocation statistics (z-score). We then show how corpus citations demonstrate the scalar nature of meta-phor. Finally, we use the L-Word Query function in the BNC Sara concordancer to identify and categorise metaphorical compounds containing the word war. General comments regarding the usefulness of corpus-based empirical methods for metaphor research are offered throughout the paper and in the conclusions.

The presence of this adverb with this new sense in contemporary Spanish is explored and supported with the data found in CORDE and CREA, the two corpora of the Royal Spanish Academy. Since the paper also seeks to show in what ways the Spanish lexicon is being influenced by English, evidence from two major English corpora, the BNC and the COCA, will be used.

These are put in perspective through comparisons with specialised corpora of academic writing (Corpus of British Academic Written English, BAWE and the Michigan Corpus of Upper Student Papers, MICUSP). A learner component is introduced by analysing four markers, although, however, nevertheless and while, in student writing. The student data stem from two sources: German natives enrolled in English Studies programmes at Chemnitz University of Technology and Czech natives studying at Brno Masaryk University.

In this particular crossword, there were several entries that I probably would never have found without the corpus, including "no-go", "in beta", "angel hair", and "dust-up".

We propose that neither concord adverbs nor modal auxiliaries are vacuous: concord adverbs are modal-auxiliary modifiers and the compositional process ensures that both auxiliary and modifying adverb comment on the same proposition (contributed by the same radical), with respect to the same modal base. The data mostly consists of sentences from the Corpus of Contemporary American English. Sinn und Bedeutung 14
390  5/5/2011 Book 2007 TIME  Myoung Hyoun Song Corpus-based Analysis of the English Tough-Construction This corpus-based study reveals facts about the proportion and structure of the English Tough Construction. Firstly, the overall ratio of TC pattern to Extraposition pattern is 3.5:6.5 when the tough adjectives simply occur with a subordinate to-infinitive clause. And then the ratio of TC pattern to Extraposition pattern is 9.1 to 90.9 when they occur with for-NP sequence. Secondly, the Tough Construction is analyzed into ''tough-related adjective + an optional for-NP complement + to infinitival complement''. As for the status of the infinitival subclause, it is argued to be a complement to the adjective by means of criteria for complementhood. And the status of the for-NP sequence also turns out to be a complement to the tough adjective on the basis of syntactic and semantic facts. Lastly, there arises an ambiguity in meaning of TC when the tough adjective is modified by an adverb ''too'', which can be clarified by considering the context in which the sentence occurs.

Apart from the widely-spread hedges, meta-communicational idiom modifications are frequently used in speech. A modification of this kind is produced by means of inserting an adjectival modifier into an idiom. The adjective in this case indicates the idiomatic nature of the whole phrase. The author states that while these modifications are common in English or German, they rarely occur in Russian. The author uses the data obtained by means of English, German corpora (COCA+BNC, DEREKO+Wortschatz, Ruscorpora, respectively) to observe these modifications.

We will compare the syntactic and semantic make-up of English constructions with the combination of components “ in ... eyes” and Croatian constructions with the combination of components “ u ... očima” . The aim is to show that these combinations are in fact schematic idioms with a relatively stable structure, depending on the ICM/cultural model motivating them. In order to show this, we analyzed a sample of these constructions from the BNC and the Croatian National Corpus. The analysis has confirmed that there are a limited number of cultural models motivating most expressions in both languages and that each model is associated with a particular schematic structure.

Given that corpus use for pedagogical purposes entails autonomous and independent learning of language learners, it is important to uncover how corpus users evaluate it based on their own experience. While most of the previous studies were conducted in the ESL settings, the present study sets out to examine postsecondary Korean students’ opinions of general and specialized corpora with regard to their own English study and writing in the EFL setting. The questionnaires which twenty-eight students of two corpus workshops submitted were analyzed in terms of their evaluations of corpora as well as their prior writing experience, reference use, and attitudes towards English study and writing. The results show that the respondents, being dissatisfied with their English skills, were eager to increase their overall English skills and English writing skills. During English writing, they usually used two to three language references including bilingual dictionaries followed by monolingual dictionaries and Internet search engines. The results also prove that the respondents regarded corpora as helpful language references and that they would use them and recommend them to other students. The respondents, however, expressed disparate attitudes towards specialized corpora. In general, corpora were considered more appropriate to the intermediate and advanced levels of students in terms of language proficiency and academic experience. Using corpora for pedagogical purposes merits further research to validate its efficacy and investigate the possibility of its application in Korea. Chang, J.-Y. (2010).

423  2/10/2011 Journal 2004 BNC  Jennifer Hay & Ingo Plag What constrains possible suffix combinations? On the interaction of grammatical and processing restrictions in derivational morphology, There is a long-standing debate about the principles and mechanisms that constrain the combinatorial properties of affixes, in particular of English suffixes. One group of scholars argues for the existence of lexical strata with strong restrictions holding between the different strata. This view is disputed by scholars who claim that it is selectional restrictions of individual suffixes that are responsible for the combinatorial properties of suffixes. Most recently, Hay (2000, 2002) has proposed a psycholinguistic model of morphological complexity, according to which an affix which can be easily parsed out in processing should not occur inside an affix which can not. This model has been called “complexity based ordering”. The general claim is that affixes can be approximately ordered along a hierarchy of complexity, with more separable affixes at one end, and less separable affixes at the other end. More separable affixes can attach outside less separable affixes, but not vice-versa. The goal of this paper is to test the predictions of complexity based ordering through an investigation of 15 English suffixes and their potential 210 two suffix combinations. Using large data-bases such as the British National Corpus, the CELEX lexical data-base, the OED and the internet, we investigate whether the attested and non-attested combinations are best explained by complexity based ordering or by the individual selectional properties of these suffixes. We show that in most cases selectional restrictions and parsing restrictions coincide. Where selectional restrictions underdetermine possible combinations, complexity based ordering makes correct predictions. Only well parsable combinations are possible combinations, and this range of possible combinations is then further curtailed by selectional restrictions. In sum, we argue that both selectional restrictions and parsing constraints are instrumental in determining possible and impossible suffix combinations.

424  2/10/2011 Journal 2009 BNC  Ingo Plag & Harald Baayen Suffix ordering and morphological processing There is a long-standing debate about the principles constraining the combinatorial properties of suffixes. Hay 2002 and Hay & Plag 2004 proposed a model in which suffixes can be ordered along a hierarchy of processing complexity. We show on the basis of data from large corpora (including the BNC)that this model generalizes to a larger set of suffixes, and we provide independent evidence supporting the claim that a higher rank in the ordering correlates with increased productivity. Behavioral data from lexical decision and word naming show, however, that this model has been one-sided in its exclusive focus on the importance of constituent-driven processing, and that it requires supplementation by a second and equally important focus on the role of memory. Finally, using concepts from graph theory, we show that the space of existing suffix combinations can be conceptualized as a directed graph, which, with surprisingly few exceptions, is acyclic. This acyclicity is hypothesized to be functional for lexical processing. Language 85.1, 109-152
425  2/10/2011 Journal 2006 BNC  Ingo Plag The variability of compound stress in English: structural, semantic and analogical factors This article presents an experimental study in which three competing hypotheses concerning NN compound stress assignment are tested. The stress patterns of novel and existing compounds, as obtained in a reading experimentwith native speakers of American English,were acoustically measured and analyzed. The results show that there is indeed a considerable amount of variation in stress assignment, and that all three hypothesized factors, i.e. structure, semantics, and analogy, are relevant, though to different degrees. On a theoretical level, the findings strongly suggest that a categorical approach cannot be upheld and that probability and analogy need to be incorporated into an adequate account of stress assignment in noun– noun constructions. Frequency data from the BNC are used to test the hypothesis that more frequent compounds tend to be more prone to left stress. English Language and Linguistics 10.1, 143-172

But in difficult cases, meaning is rarely "plain," and the legal system would therefore benefit from a method for examining lexical ambiguity that is more reliable that intuition. In this paper, I test the United States Supreme Court''s conclusion in United States v. Muscarello, that the "ordinary meaning" of "carries a firearm" in 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1) has reference to carrying a firearm in a vehicle and not just on one''s person. I relied on the COCA to examine contemporary usage of the verb "to carry" when it collocates "firearm" and its synonyms. I used the COHA to determine the use of the phrase "carries a firearm" at the time of the law''s enactment, i.e., 1968. 2010 BYU Law Review 1915.
428  1/28/2011 Journal 2010 BNC  Graham Ranger You see! Abstract in English: The segment you see is employed as a parenthetical comment clause in initial, median and final position, where it may be said both to indicate the argumentative status of the clause it targets, as an explanation or justification for a previous representation, and to function as a politeness marker, in associating the cospeaker with propositions endorsed by the speaker, thereby defusing potential discord before it manifests itself. It is, in this second function, a marker of negative politeness (Brown and Levinson 1978). Quirk et al (1985) also mention an alternative use of stressed you see to express triumph. In this paper I will propose an enunciative characterisation of you see which will, it is hoped, enable us to derive different, sometimes contradictory, interpretations of you see from the metalinguistic operations of which you see is the trace, and from observable differences in contextual configurations, including the identification of the related propositions or the position you see occupies relative to these propositions. From our study it emerges that you see is not in itself a marker of politeness, but that the operations which you see marks lend themselves to strategies including impoliteness (a Face Threatening Act – FTA) as well as negative and positive politeness, in the terms of Brown and Levinson. In some contexts it also appears to allow an uncertain speaker to elicit manifestations of positive politeness (backchannels) from the co-speaker. We are led to consider how the theory of enunciative operations might contribute to research in the fields of politeness and discourse structure. The BYU corpora were used for frequency tables by text and genre-type and in order to locate specific examples for commentary within the article.

431  1/10/2011 Journal 2010 COCA  Margaret Otake English Loanwords from Japanese: A Survey of the Perceptions of American English Speakers As Japanese cultural patterns and icons have become more familiar to English-speaking North Americans, several new vocabulary items have entered the English language from Japanese sources. A selection of some of the more common and newer terms from Japanese was made based on print sources and conversational use by American English speakers. The words chosen were: geisha, tsunami, kamikaze, honcho, hibachi, karaoke, anime, manga, otaku, edamame, and sudoku. A survey of speakers of American English of a wide range of ages and backgrounds was conducted to determine the sense of the meanings of these words from the informants’ point of view, the ways in which the words are used in grammatical structures, and the degree of awareness of the language origin of the words. A comparison of the response rates by the participants is made to the historical timeline of the words in dictionaries and their frequency of use in a major American English corpus, the COCA. A report on the emerging consensus of meaning, grammatical usage, and collocation by communities of speakers is presented. Each item is also analyzed for changes that have occurred in meaning as compared to the original and present meaning in Japanese. Tokyo Seitoku University Bulletin, No.17, pp.17-32

É composto por cem milhões de palavras e abarca o período compreendido entre os séculos XIII e XX, distribuídos da seguinte maneira: vinte milhões dos séculos XIII a XV; quarenta milhões dos séculos XVI a XVIII, vinte milhões do século XIX e vinte milhões do século XX. Para os vinte milhões de palavras do século XX há um corpo balanceado de 25% de espanhol falado, 25% de ficção, 25% de textos jornalísticos e 25% de textos acadêmicos, outros e não ficção. Para os períodos anteriores não existe a mesma variedade de registros, mas o autor do corpus assinala que procurou um equilíbrio entre ficção e não ficção. O “corpus del español” foi criado há seis anos e, em outubro de 2007, foi disponibilizada para o público sua última versão. Estas informações foram tomadas da entrevista com o Dr. Mark Davies, autor do corpus, publicada em La página del Idioma Español e disponível em http://www.elcastellano.org/ns/edicion/2007/diciembre/corpus.html. Acesso em 10/03/2008. O termo “aburrido”, segundo o dicionário Señas, da Universidad Alcalá de Henares (Espanha), empregado com o verbo ser, significa tedioso em português, já com o verbo estar, significa entediado. O DRAE dá a seguinte definição para aburrimiento: “Cansancio, fastidio (chateação), tedio, originados generalmente por disgustos o molestias (incômodos), o por no contar con algo que distraiga y divierta” (nossa tradução, nossa ênfase). Também foi constatado, no Corpus del Español (de 100 millones de palavras), que o emprego de aburrido tem conotação negativa. Esse corpus está disponível em: http://www.corpusdelespanol.org/.

454  12/7/2010 Journal 2007 CDE  Josep Alba-Salas On the life and death of a collocation: A corpus-based diachronic study of dar miedo/hacer miedo-type structures in Spanish This paper seeks to shed light on the diachronic evolution of collocations by examining structures formed in Modern Spanish with dar ''give'' plus state nouns (e.g. dar miedo ''frighten'', literally, ''give fear''). Using the Corpus del Espanol, I offer a quantitative and qualitative analysis of eighteen representative dar miedo-type collocations from the 1200s to the 1900s. The results show that although the basic properties of dar miedo-type structures have remained remarkably stable over the centuries, during the Middle Ages the verb hacer ''make'' was used here almost as often as dar - a competition apparently inherited from Latin. While different nouns show different patterns of loss of hacer, echoing the lexical diffusion of certain grammatical changes, the 1500s saw a very sharp decline in ''make'' cases across the board, leading to its complete disappearance from this context by the 1800s. The loss of hacer led to a radical simplification of the collocational properties of state nouns in Spanish vis-a-vis Latin and other Modern Romance varieties. This process resulted both from language-internal factors mostly related to the lexical semantics of dar and hacer and from three key sociolinguistic processes in 16th-century Spanish: koineization, change of norm and increased standardization.

Entre otros resultados, el análisis revela que en estados anteriores de la lengua meter competía con poner en estas colocaciones, que esta competición aparentemente conllevó un proceso de difusión léxica, y que el español moderno ha resuelto dicha rivalidad histórica mediante la especialización de meter y poner para contextos colocacionales diferentes. Estos resultados confirman ciertas tendencias de cambio histórico documentadas por Alba-Salas (2007) en otros contextos colocacionales.

The present meta-study on conceptualizing evidentiality, a far from trivial issue that must be settled before any database can be compiled, scrutinizes relevant parameters and applies them to two test cases seem, and ‘mediated’ evidentials it is said, is said to, as they say, be like, suggesting to conceptualize evidentiality as a multi-dimensional contextu al category. COCA and COHA provided authentic examples to support our arguments. STUF-Zeitschrift für Sprachwissenschaft, Typologie und Universalienforschung
459  12/4/2010 Journal 2009 COCA  François Maniez L’adjectif dénominal en langue de spécialité : étude du domaine de la médecine. Relational adjectives are a key component of specialized language in French as well as many other languages. The use of relational adjectives as a substitute for a prepositional phrase follows the principle of economy in language, but it is also a characteristic of specialized discourse: French physicians will use expressions like « cancer mammaire » or « infarctus myocardique » where the layman uses « cancer du sein » or « infarctus du myocarde ». In English as well, the choice between a modifying noun or adjective is sometimes difficult to make for non-natives who either have to write directly in English or translate from a Romance language such as French, where relational adjectives are frequently used. After studying morphological, syntactic and semantic aspects of relational adjectives, we attempt to identify some of the factors that seem to induce the use of nouns or relational adjectives as modifiers, based on examples drawn from two subsets of the Corpus of Contemporary American English, where particular attention is devoted to variation in the use of the pair heart/cardiac as noun modifiers.

460  12/3/2010 Journal 2009 TIME  Martin Hilpert and Stefan Th. Gries Assessing frequency changes in multistage diachronic corpora: Applications for historical corpus linguistics and the study of language acquisition The use of corpora that are divided into temporally ordered stages is becoming increasingly wide-spread in historical corpus linguistics. This development is partly due to the fact that more and more resources of this kind are being developed. Since the assessment of frequency changes over multiple periods of time is a relatively recent practice, there are few agreed-upon standards of how such trends should be statistically interpreted. This article addresses the need for a basic analytical toolbox that is specifically tailored to the interpretation of frequency changes in multistage diachronic corpora. Using data from the TIME corpus, we present a number of suggestions for the analysis of data that analysts commonly face in historical studies, but also in the study of language acquisition.

It is used here on the basis of the Corpus of Historical American English (COHA, Davies 2010) in order to show its applicability to recent change. Whereas much work in collostructional analysis has addressed verb-headed constructions, such as modal auxiliaries, causatives, the ditransitive construction, or the passive, relatively little attention has been paid to the nominal domain, which is the focus of this chapter.

Based on a corpus of 250 usual words formed by these suffixes, we investigate the etymology of the terms, consulting dictionaries of Classic and Medieval Latin, English, French, Spanish and Italian, confronting the found data with those supplied by the Dicionário Houaiss. We describe the semantical values of the suffixes in the form of paraphrases, discriminating the prototypical one from those ocurred by loans or by meaning extensions. We inquire the cognation of these derivative nouns among adjectives in -nte and verbs, in the current Portuguese. This way, we could conclude that these suffixes resemble themselves with changeable semantical values, prototypical and acquired in their diachronical trajectory; they are useful to the creation of nouns mainly the abstract ones, because there are occurrences of concrete nouns, and have the tendency to form derivatives from adjectival and verbal bases, although, alongside the history, since the Latin, formations with other categories have also existed.

This experimental study evaluated the effectiveness of direct teaching of new vocabulary items in reading passages. The study compared vocabulary learning under a reading only condition (incidental learning) to learning that is aided by direct communication of word meanings (explicit learning). Three levels of vocabulary knowledge (form recall, meaning recall, and meaning recognition) were assessed using three tests (completion, L1 translation, and multiple choice, respectively). Incidental learning plus explicit instruction was found to be more effective than incidental learning alone for all three levels. The results also showed that direct instruction is especially effective in facilitating the deepest level of knowledge, i.e. form recall. These findings demonstrate the value of the time and effort spent on direct teaching of lexical items in EFL reading classes. We used the BNC to control for the frequency of words used in this study.

In order to do this, the first 2,000 instances of the lemma ''meet'' in the BNC were extracted with the help of the interface at corpus.byu.edu and classified according to their exact interpretation and their use in the active or passive voice. It turns out that there are striking differences between the relevant interpretations. A comparison to their German counterparts reveals that semantic and pragmatic motivations cannot sufficiently account for the distribution in English. I propose that verb senses and voice values are associated in such a way that semantic ambiguities are minimized. Zeitschrift für Anglistik und Amerikanistik (ZAA) 56.3: 255-268

The mass media allow for linguistic shifts taking place in American English to spread to other World Englishes (above all on the levels of syntax and lexis) as a result of an increasing trend towards colloquialisation, americanisation and a more democratic model of (power) relationships. The present dissertation constitutes a corpus-based study that analyses the frequency of use of a series of grammatical structures and lexical items in American and British English, particularly focusing on American slang. The study takes as a basis chiefly audiovisual corpora in parallel to which real linguistic data (drawn from a survey on slang) are examined. Results provide evidence of the so called Americanisation of other World Englishes, among them, British English, and that this influence can be observed in both written and audiovisual corpora.

Taking Leech''s study as a starting point, this paper investigates twentieth century changes in modal verbs using the new and relatively unexplored TIME Magazine Corpus. Results show that while certain modal verbs have fallen in frequency, the overall pattern is one of growth. These changes may be accounted for by the increase of semi-modal verbs and shifts in usage. Results appear to lend support to the explanatory hypotheses of colloquialization, democratization and stylistic change. Investigation of discrepancies between results from the TIME Corpus and the Brown corpora yields important methodological implications. In particular, as a result of sampling variation, a diachronic comparison based on two data points may present an inaccurate picture of the overall trend.

508  9/15/2010 Chapter 2009 BNC  Jean Hudson and Maria Wiktorsson Formulaic language and the relater category - the case of ''about'' Abstract: Relaters in English are words that are traditionally referred to as prepositions, particles, or adverbs, such as: in, for, with, at, about. They are highly decategorialized and polysemous. Furthermore, with few word forms which occur very frequently, they are problematic for linguists and learners alike. In our data (naturally occurring conversation in the BNC), we find many formulaic patterns around these words, providing new insights into the meanings created through and around them. In this paper we report on a study of the relater ''about''. We find that the greater proportion of the occurrences can be adequately described as part of substantive or schematic constructions, and that they to a large extent pattern with meanings with a negative or generally unfavourable orientation.
