All annotation is in stored in XML files, meaning that your annotations can more easily be shared with other applications. We use "stand-off" XML: the annotation files do not contain the text, just pointers to the text. This allows for multiple overlapping analyses of the same text, not s...
derived from the linguistic theory of thematic roles currently exemplified in the Berkeley "FrameNet" Project, Full descriptive sentences with functional-status conceptual meaning were derived from structured content within a corpus of questionnaire assessment instruments commonly used in clinical practice for...
Tag Meaning Filled pauses (e.g. umm, er, ah) Non-human noises (e.g. mouse or keyboard noises, radio, TV, music) Human noises (e.g. coughs, audible breath, utterance echoes) False starts; mispronounced, unintelligible or truncated words; or words with considerable background noise ...
The intended reading of this corpus example is almost certainly that for no woman her life depends on a single man, as this is the most plausible meaning the sentence has. This reading is obtained by giving the subject-internal negative quantifier scope over the existential determiner within the...

In the analyzed texts, formal markers have only a weak correlation with the occurrence of OVS sequences as compared to the effect of meaning. A further factor influencing the probability of an OVS order is the textual continuity of the nonsubject NP. Most of the topicalized nonsubjects in ...
We have encountered not…before and only…when as possible counterparts of the not…until configuration in Table 1, so the emerging hypothesis is that languages use different strategies to convey the meaning that English encodes as not…until in (6), and native speaker intuitions may have ...
This qualitative and quantitative study examines how taboo language is rendered in non-professional subtitling (NPS), how viewers react to the renderings, and how the interactions between danmu and general comments’ contributors affect the translation activities and language changes. The study draws on...
First, corpus data in general are to be preferred over made up examples, because they provide us with meaning in context. If we have a large enough dataset, the similarities between datapoints give rise to patterns of language use that we can relate to grammar. Second, we do not need to...
