This paper argues that there is a correlation between functional and purely grammatical patterning in language, yet the nature of this correlation has to be explored. This claim is based on the results of a corpus-driven study of the Slavic aspect, drawing on the socalled Distributional Hypothesis. According to the East-West Theory of the Slavic aspect, there is a broad east-west isogloss dividing the Slavic languages into an eastern group and a western group. There are also two transitional zones in the north and south, which share some properties with each group (Dickey 2000; Barentsen 1998, 2008). The East-West Theory uses concepts of cognitive grammar such as totality and temporal definiteness, and is based on various parameters of aspectual usage in discourse, including contexts such as habituals, general factuals, historical (narrative) present, performatives, sequenced events in the past etc. The purpose of the above-mentioned study is to challenge the semantic approach to the Slavic aspect by comparing the perfective and imperfective verbal aspect on the basis of purely grammatical co-occurrence patterns (see also Janda & Lyashevskaya 2011). The study focused on three Slavic languages: Russian, which, following the East-West Theory, belongs to the eastern group, Czech, which belongs to the western group, and Polish, which is considered as transitional in its aspectual patterning.
In a number of languages, agreement in specificational copular sentences can or must be with the second of the two nominals, even when it is the first that occupies the canonical subject position. Béjar & Kahnemuyipour (2017) show that Persian and Eastern Armenian are two such languages. They then argue that ‘NP2 agreement’ occurs because the nominal in subject position (NP1) is not accessible to an external probe. It follows that actual agreement with NP1 should never be possible: the alternative to NP2 agreement should be ‘default’ agreement. We show that this prediction is false. In addition to showing that English has NP1, not default, agreement, we present new data from Icelandic, a language with rich agreement morphology, including cases that involve ‘plurale tantum’ nominals as NP1. These allow us to control for any confound from the fact that typically in a specificational sentence with two nominals differing in number, it is NP2 that is plural. We show that even in this case, the alternative to agreement with NP2 is agreement with NP1, not a default. Hence, we conclude that whatever the correct analysis of specificational sentences turns out to be, it must not predict obligatory failure of NP1 agreement.
Terminological resources play a central role in the organization and retrieval of scientific texts. Both simple keyword lists and advanced modelings of relationships between terminological concepts can make a most valuable contribution to the analysis, classification, and finding of appropriate digital documents, either on the web or within local repositories. This seems especially true for long-established scientific fields with elusive theoretical and historical branches, where the use of terminology within documents from different origins is often far from being consistent. In this paper, we report on the progress of a linguistically motivated project on the onomasiological re-modeling of the terminological resources for the grammatical information system grammis. We present the design principles and the results of their application. In particular, we focus on new features for the authoring backend and discuss how these innovations help to evaluate existing, loosely structured terminological content, as well as to efficiently deal with automatic term extraction. Furthermore, we introduce a transformation to a future SKOS representation. We conclude with a positioning of our resources with regard to the Knowledge Organization discourse and discuss how a highly complex information environment like grammis benefits from the re-designed terminological KOS.
Die Zuschreibung 'authentisch/Authentizität' ist Ergebnis eines Authentisierungsakts, also einer auf Aushandlung und Deutung folgenden Erklärung, dass ein Sachverhalt, Objekt etc. zu Recht die mit authentischl Authentizität bezeichnete Eigenschaft zugeschrieben bekommt. In diesem Sinn rekonstruiert der folgende Beitrag die Verwendungsweisen von authentischl Authentizität, die aus korpuslinguistischen Auswertungen abgeleitet sind und die Bedeutungsfacetten deutlich machen, die in dieser Granularität nur auf der Grundlage großer Korpora erkennbar sind.
Ulrich Engel hat mit seinen Publikationen zur deutschen Grammatik, zur Verbvalenz und zur kontrastiven Linguistik große Wirkung auf die internationale germanistische Linguistik ausgeübt. Weniger bekannt ist, dass er mit seinem Werk auch andere linguistische Teildisziplinen beeinflusst hat, die davon bis heute profitieren. Dependenzielle Ansätze spielen bei der maschinellen Syntaxanalyse mittlerweile eine zentrale Rolle, und bei der Entwicklung von Systemen zur maschinellen Übersetzung haben Engels Arbeiten ebenfalls ihre Spur hinterlassen. Der Aufbau von Sprachressourcen in Gestalt von „Baumbanken“ kann auf Engels Grammatikkonzeption zurückgreifen, und auch zur neuerlich florierenden Konstruktionsgrammatik bestehen klare Bezüge. Im Beitrag werden diese weniger bekannten Einwirkungen von Engels Werk in andere Bereiche dargestellt und in ihrer andauernden Aktualität gewürdigt.
This paper studies how the turn-design of a highly recurrent type of action changes over time. Based on a corpus of video-recordings of German driving lessons, we consider one type of instructions and analyze how the same instructional action is produced by the same speaker (the instructor) for the same addressee (the student) in consecutive trials of a learning task. We found that instructions become increasingly shorter, indexical and syntactically less complex; interactional sequences become more condensed and activities designed to secure mutual understanding become rarer. This study shows how larger temporal frameworks of interpersonal interactional histories which range beyond the interactional sequence impinge on the recipient-design of turns and the deployment of multimodal resources in situ.
