Abstract English verbs can combine with an object-like (or Objoid) element consisting of a possessive and a superlative. These Superlative Objoids do not add a participant to the event but function like manner adverbs (they work their hardest, i.e. they work extremely hard). This paper is the first to use diachronic evidence from a corpus of Late Modern American English to trace the recent history of Superlative Objoid Constructions (SOC). In particular, it aims to assess whether the construction has become entrenched to the extent that it can give rise to analogical extension. Secondly, the evidence is used to model, within the framework of Construction Grammar, the horizontal and vertical links between the SOC and its (potential) relatives in the constructional network of transitivity changing constructions.
抽象的英语动词可以与一个由所有格和最高级组成的类宾语(或宾语)结合。这些最高级宾语不会将参与者添加到事件中,而是像态度副词一样起作用(他们工作得最努力,即他们工作得非常努力)。本文首次利用美国晚期现代英语语料库中的历时证据来追溯最高级宾语结构(SOC)的近代史。特别是,它的目的是评估结构是否已经成为根深蒂固的程度,它可以引起类比延伸。其次,在构式语法的框架内,利用证据对及物性变化构式网络中SOC与其(潜在)亲属之间的横向和纵向联系进行建模。

Abstract For centuries, investigations of disputed authorship have shown that people have unique styles of writing. Given sufficient data, it is generally possible to distinguish between the writings of a small group of authors, for example, through the multivariate analysis of the relative frequencies of common function words. There is, however, no accepted explanation for why this type of stylometric analysis is successful. Authorship analysts often argue that authors write in subtly different dialects, but the analysis of individual words is not licensed by standard theories of sociolinguistic variation. Alternatively, stylometric analysis is consistent with standard theories of register variation. In this paper, I argue that stylometric methods work because authors write in subtly different registers. To support this claim, I present the results of parallel stylometric and multidimensional register analyses of a corpus of newspaper articles written by two columnists. I demonstrate that both analyses not only distinguish between these authors but identify the same underlying patterns of linguistic variation. I therefore propose that register variation, as opposed to dialect variation, provides a basis for explaining these differences and for explaining stylometric analyses of authorship more generally.
摘要几个世纪以来,对有争议的作者的调查表明,人们有着独特的写作风格。如果有足够的数据,通常可以区分一小群作者的作品,例如,通过对常见虚词相对频率的多元分析。然而,对于为什么这种风格分析是成功的,目前还没有公认的解释。作者分析人士经常认为,作者用微妙不同的方言写作,但对单个单词的分析并没有得到社会语言学变异标准理论的许可。或者,风格分析与语域变异的标准理论是一致的。在这篇论文中,我认为风格计量法之所以有效,是因为作者用微妙的不同语域写作。为了支持这一说法,我对两位专栏作家撰写的报纸文章语料库进行了平行风格分析和多维语域分析。我证明,这两种分析不仅区分了这些作者,而且确定了语言变异的相同潜在模式。因此,我认为语域变异,而不是方言变异,为解释这些差异和更普遍地解释作者的风格分析提供了基础。

Metaphorical language change is Self-Organized Criticality 隐喻性语言变化具有自组织临界性

One way to resolve the actuation problem of metaphorical language change is to provide a statistical profile of metaphorical constructions and generative rules with antecedent conditions. Based on arguments from the view of language as complex systems and the dynamic view of metaphor, this paper argues that metaphorical language change qualifies as a Self-Organized Criticality state and the linguistic expressions of a metaphor can be profiled as a fractal with spatio-temporal correlations. Synchronously, these metaphorical expressions self-organize into a self-similar, scale-invariant fractal that follows a power-law distribution; temporally, long range interdependence constrains the self-organization process by the way of transformation rules that are intrinsic of a language system. This argument is verified in the paper with statistical analyses of twelve randomly selected Chinese verb metaphors in a large-scale diachronic corpus.
解决隐喻语言变化驱动问题的途径之一是提供隐喻结构和具有先行词条件的生成规则的统计概况。基于语言是复杂系统的观点和隐喻的动态观点,本文认为隐喻的语言变化是一种自组织临界状态,隐喻的语言表达可以被描述为具有时空相关性的分形。同时,这些隐喻表达自组织成一个自相似的、尺度不变的分形,遵循幂律分布;在时间上,长期的相互依赖通过语言系统固有的转换规则约束了自组织过程。本文通过对一个大型历时语料库中随机抽取的12个汉语动词隐喻进行统计分析,验证了这一观点。

Clausal and phrasal coordination in recent American English 现代美国英语中的小句和短语协调

Abstract Several studies have shown that there is considerable cross-genre variation as regards what linguistic units tend to be coordinated by and. While literate, expository writing favors coordination of phrasal units such as noun phrases, coordinated units are more often clausal (e.g., main or subordinate clauses) in speech-related texts. This difference has been attested in studies that focus exclusively on coordination as well as in macro-level studies of co-variation among a large number of linguistic features. However, this register differentiation has increased over time: studies of Early and Late Modern English point to less pronounced differences among registers than those attested in the present-day language. This study fills a gap in research by considering data on coordination by and from the middle of the 20th century, a period that does not belong fully to either Late Modern or Present-Day English, and the late 20th and early 21st century, and thus ties diachronic and synchronic research on register variation in coordination together. We also examine language from films and television in order to complement historical findings for speech-related language with data on registers that arose in the 20th century.
一些研究表明,在哪些语言单位倾向于由和协调方面存在相当大的跨体裁差异。虽然有文化,说明文写作倾向于短语单位的协调,如名词短语,协调单位更经常是小句(例如,主句或从句)在言语相关的文本。这种差异已经在专门关注协调的研究以及大量语言特征之间共变的宏观研究中得到证实。然而,这种语域差异随着时间的推移而增加:对早期和晚期现代英语的研究表明,与现代语言相比,语域之间的差异并不那么明显。本研究考虑了20世纪中期前后的协调数据,填补了研究的空白,这一时期既不完全属于现代英语晚期,也不完全属于现代英语晚期,也不完全属于20世纪末和21世纪初,从而将协调中语域变化的历时性和共时性研究联系在一起。我们还研究了电影和电视中的语言,以便用20世纪出现的语域数据来补充与语言相关的历史发现。

Abstract This article provides an overview of Douglas Biber’s work on register and his central role in establishing register as both an empirical focus and a theoretical construct in corpus linguistics. I identity four general phases of his work. Each has a slightly different emphasis, but each also advances intertwined threads of research that lead to an increased understanding of register variation. Biber’s work has made major contributions to distinct areas within the study of registers, from cross-linguistic speech-writing differences to English grammar, but he has advanced the field especially by integrating the findings from different areas. He has offered conceptualizations of register that account for findings from multiple areas of study, and he continues to refine the conceptualization as he engages in new lines of inquiry today.
摘要本文概述了Douglas Biber在语域方面的工作,以及他在建立语域作为语料库语言学的经验焦点和理论建构方面的核心作用。我确定了他工作的四个一般阶段。每一种都有略微不同的重点,但每一种也都推进了相互交织的研究线索,从而加深了对语域变异的理解。Biber的工作在语域研究的不同领域做出了重大贡献,从跨语言的语音写作差异到英语语法,但他特别是通过整合不同领域的研究结果来推进这一领域。他提供了寄存器的概念化,这些概念化解释了多个研究领域的发现,他在今天从事新的调查时继续完善概念化。

“Thank you for the terrific party!” – An analysis of Hungarian negative emotive words “谢谢你举办了这么棒的晚会!”——匈牙利语消极情绪词分析

Abstract The term negative emotive word refers to those words that, on their own, i.e. without context, have a semantic content that may be associated with negative emotion, but sometimes they lose it partly or wholly. In the literature negative emotive words are mainly discussed within the group of intensifiers, e.g. awfully good. In the present paper, we call this phenomenon polarity loss. At the same time, there is another use of negative emotive words that is rarely discussed in the literature, namely the case where the examined word, despite its negative semantic content, expresses a positive evaluation of the speaker, e.g. brutális alaplap (lit. ‘brutal motherboard’ – ‘high quality motherboard’). We call this phenomenon polarity shift. The aim here is to thoroughly examine the two different phenomena on the basis of the data of a Hungarian speech corpus HuTongue. After an in-depth analysis of the qualitative and quantitative features of negative emotive words, we propose corresponding ways of their meaning representations, using a lexical pragmatic approach and the concept of enantiosemy.
摘要负面情绪词是指那些单独的,即没有上下文的,具有可能与负面情绪相关的语义内容的词,但有时它们会部分或全部失去它。在文学中,负面情绪词主要是在强化词的范畴内讨论的,例如非常好。在本文中,我们称这种现象为极性损失。同时,还有另一种在文献中很少讨论的负面情绪词的使用,即被检查的词,尽管其语义内容是负面的,但表达了对说话者的积极评价,例如brutális alaplap(lit.“残暴的主板”-“高质量的主板”)。我们称这种现象为极性转移。本文的目的是在匈牙利语语料库HuTongue的数据基础上,深入研究这两种不同的现象。在深入分析消极情绪词的定性和定量特征后,我们运用词汇语用学方法和对映体概念,提出了相应的意义表征方法。

A variationist perspective on the comparative complexity of four registers at the intersection of mode and formality 从变分论的角度看四语域在模式与形式交叉处的比较复杂性

Abstract In this paper, we operationalize register differences at the intersection of formality and mode, and distinguish four broad register categories: spoken informal (conversations), spoken formal (parliamentary debates), written informal (blogs), and written formal (newspaper articles). We are specifically interested in the comparative probabilistic/variationist complexity of these registers – when speakers have grammatical choices, are the probabilistic grammars regulating these choices more or less complex in particular registers than in others? Based on multivariate modeling of richly annotated datasets covering three grammatical alternations in two languages (English and Dutch), we assess the complexity of probabilistic grammars by drawing on three criteria: (a) the number of constraints on variant choice, (b) the number of interactions between constraints, and (c) the relative importance of lexical conditioning. Analysis shows that contrary to theorizing in variationist sociolinguistics, probabilistic complexity differences between registers are not quantitatively simple: formal registers are consistently the most complex ones, while spoken registers are the least complex ones. The most complex register under study is written-formal quality newspaper writing. We submit that the complexity differentials we uncover are a function of acquisitional difficulty, of on-line processing limitations, and of normative pressures.
摘要在本文中,我们在形式和模式的交叉点上操作语域差异,并区分了四大语域类别:口语非正式(对话)、口语正式(议会辩论)、书面非正式(博客)和书面正式(报纸文章)。我们特别感兴趣的是这些语域的相对概率/变元复杂性——当说话者有语法选择时,在特定的语域中,规范这些选择的概率语法是否比其他语域更复杂?基于对两种语言(英语和荷兰语)中涵盖三种语法变化的丰富注释数据集的多元建模,我们通过以下三个标准来评估概率语法的复杂性:(a)变体选择的约束数量,(b)约束之间的相互作用数量,以及(c)词汇条件反射的相对重要性。分析表明,与变元社会语言学的理论相反,语域之间的概率复杂性差异在数量上并不简单:正式语域始终是最复杂的语域,而口语语域则是最不复杂的。所研究的最复杂的语域是正式质量的报纸写作。我们认为,我们发现的复杂性差异是获取难度、在线处理限制和规范压力的函数。

We are specifically interested in the comparative probabilistic/variationist complexity of these registers – when speakers have grammatical choices, are the probabilistic grammars regulating these choices more or less complex in particular registers than in others? Based on multivariate modeling of richly annotated datasets covering three grammatical alternations in two languages (English and Dutch), we assess the complexity of probabilistic grammars by drawing on three criteria: (a) the number of constraints on variant choice, (b) the number of interactions between constraints, and (c) the relative importance of lexical conditioning. Analysis shows that contrary to theorizing in variationist sociolinguistics, probabilistic complexity differences between registers are not quantitatively simple: formal registers are consistently the most complex ones, while spoken registers are the least complex ones. The most complex register under study is written-formal quality newspaper writing. We submit that the complexity differentials we uncover are a function of acquisitional difficulty, of on-line processing limitations, and of normative pressures.","PeriodicalId":45605,"journal":{"name":"Corpus Linguistics and Linguistic Theory","volume":"19 1","pages":"79 - 113"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42585882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
