Abstract This paper studies the implicit structures and the diffusion modes of semantic prosody on the dependency networks of some English words such as cause and their Chinese equivalents. It is found that the structure of semantic prosody is a bi-stratified network consisting of a few large clusters gathering in the center with most nodes of low dependency capability scattered around. With regard to the diffusion modes, results show that: (i) within one shortest path length, the core words directly attract the nodes with the same or similar semantic characteristics and exclude those with conflicting ones, creating the clearest and the most intense semantic diffusion; (ii) over one shortest path length, semantic diffusion is achieved through content words or function words, and the semantic diffusion modes created with function words as bridges are relatively vaguer and more complicated ones. This conclusion also results in the semantic prosodies of other English words and their Chinese equivalent words, revealing, to some extent, a common cognitive approach to understanding the internal structure and the diffusion modes of semantic prosody.
摘要本文研究了一些英语单词(如cause及其汉语等价词)在依存网络上的隐含结构和语义韵律的扩散模式。研究发现,语义韵律的结构是一个双层网络,由聚集在中心的几个大簇组成,大多数低依赖能力的节点分散在周围。关于扩散模式,结果表明:(i)在一个最短路径长度内,核心词直接吸引具有相同或相似语义特征的节点,而排除具有冲突语义特征的结点,产生最清晰、最强烈的语义扩散;(ii)在一个最短的路径长度上,语义扩散是通过内容词或虚词来实现的,而以虚词为桥梁创建的语义扩散模式相对更模糊、更复杂。这一结论也导致了其他英语单词及其汉语等价词的语义韵律,在一定程度上揭示了理解语义韵律内部结构和扩散模式的一种常见认知方法。

Abstract In structuralist linguistics, compounds are argued not to constitute morphological categories, due to the absence of systematic form-meaning correspondences. This study investigates subsets of compounds for which systematic form-meaning correspondences are present: adjective–noun compounds in Mandarin. We show that there are substantial differences in the productivity of these compounds. One set of productivity measures (the count of types, the count of hapax legomena, and the estimated count of unseen types) reflect compounds’ profitability. By contrast, the category-conditioned degree of productivity is found to correlate with the internal semantic transparency of the words belonging to a morphological category. Greater semantic transparency, gauged by distributional semantics, predicts greater category-conditioned productivity. This dovetails well with the hypothesis that semantic transparency is a prerequisite for a word formation process to be productive.
摘要在结构主义语言学中,由于缺乏系统的形式-意义对应,复合词被认为不构成形态范畴。本研究调查了汉语中存在系统形义对应关系的形容词-名词复合物的子集。我们发现,这些化合物的生产率存在显著差异。一组生产力指标(类型的计数、hapax legomena的计数和看不见的类型的估计计数)反映了化合物的盈利能力。相反,范畴条件下的生产力程度与属于形态范畴的词的内部语义透明度相关。通过分布语义来衡量,更大的语义透明度可以预测更大的类别条件生产率。这与语义透明是单词形成过程富有成效的先决条件的假设非常吻合。

Abstract The correspondence between the communicative intention of a speaker in terms of Information Structure and the way this speaker reflects communicative aspects by means of prosody have been a fruitful field of study in Linguistics. However, text-to-speech applications still lack the variability and richness found in human speech in terms of how humans display their communication skills. Some attempts were made in the past to model one aspect of Information Structure, namely thematicity for its application to intonation generation in text-to-speech technologies. Yet, these applications suffer from two limitations: (i) they draw upon a small number of made-up simple question-answer pairs rather than on real (spoken or written) corpus material; and (ii) they do not explore whether any other interpretation would better suit a wider range of textual genres beyond dialogs. In this paper, two different interpretations of thematicity in the field of speech technologies are examined: the state-of-art binary (and flat) theme-rheme, and the hierarchical thematicity defined by Igor Mel’čuk within the Meaning-Text Theory. The outcome of the experiments on a corpus of native speakers of US English suggests that the latter interpretation of thematicity has a versatile implementation potential for text-to-speech applications of the Information Structure–prosody interface.
摘要说话人在信息结构方面的交际意图与说话人通过韵律反映交际方面的方式之间的对应关系一直是语言学研究的一个富有成果的领域。然而,在人类如何展示其通信技能方面,文本到语音的应用仍然缺乏人类语音中的可变性和丰富性。过去曾尝试对信息结构的一个方面进行建模,即在文本到语音技术中应用于语调生成的主题性。然而,这些应用受到两个限制:(i)它们利用了少量虚构的简单问答对,而不是真实的(口语或书面的)语料库材料;以及(ii)他们没有探讨是否有任何其他解释更适合对话之外的更广泛的文本类型。本文考察了语音技术领域对主题性的两种不同解释:最先进的二元(和平面)主题修辞,以及Igor Mel’čuk在意义文本理论中定义的层次主题性。在以美国英语为母语的语料库上进行的实验结果表明,后一种主题性解释在信息结构-韵律界面的文本到语音应用中具有广泛的实现潜力。

Lexically specific accumulation in memory of word and segment speech rates 词和词段语速记忆中的词汇特异性积累

Abstract Variability abounds in speech. According to usage-based accounts, lexical representations reflect phonetic variants of words resulting from contextual conditioning. Because faster speech contexts promote durational shortening of words and segments, words that occur more often in fast speech may be more reduced than words commonly used in slow speech, independent of the target’s contextual speech rate. To test this, linear mixed-effects models including a word form’s ratio of conditioning by fast speech contexts (FRCRATE) are used to predict the duration of Spanish /s/ and words containing /s/ in a corpus of spoken Spanish. Results show that words’ cumulative exposure to relatively fast speech affects phonetic realizations independent of factors operative in the production contexts. Thus, word and segment rates reflect cumulative (lexicalized) effects of words’ experience in fast speech contexts. The results suggest that lexically specific cumulative measures should be incorporated into models of linguistic variation and change.
言语中充满了变异性。根据基于用法的描述,词汇表征反映了由上下文条件反射而来的单词的语音变体。由于快速语音上下文会促进单词和片段的持续缩短,因此在快速语音中更频繁出现的单词可能比在慢速语音中常用的单词减少得更多,这与目标的上下文语速无关。为了测试这一点,使用线性混合效应模型来预测西班牙语语料库中西班牙语/s/和包含/s/的单词的持续时间,该模型包括快速语音上下文条件反射的词形比率(FRCRATE)。结果表明,单词在相对快速的语音中的累积暴露影响语音实现,而与生产环境中的因素无关。因此,单词和分段率反映了快速语音环境中单词体验的累积(词汇化)效应。研究结果表明,应将特定于词汇的累积测量纳入语言变异和变化模型中。

A corpus-based study of the time orientation of qian “front” and hou “back” in Chinese 基于语料库的汉语“前”、“后”时间取向研究

Abstract Based on corpus data and adopting a behavioral profile approach, this study examines the time orientation of Chinese words qian “front” and hou “back.” The corpus analysis yields the following findings. First, the primary temporal meaning of qian and hou is indicating time sequence, with qian meaning “earlier” and hou meaning “later.” Second, Chinese speakers tend to conceptualize the future as being ahead of them and the past behind them. Both qian and hou are found to refer to the past and the future. Their contradictory usage arises from the lack of a distinction between Ego-Reference-Point and Time-Reference-Point. Third, qian and hou are used mainly in five constructions as temporal words. Their constructional profiles reveal that their time orientation correlates with the constructions in which they occur. Based on the corpus results, I also discuss the motivations underlying their time orientation in various constructions and argue that their time orientation stems from an interplay of temporal metaphors, the constructions in which they occur, and context. These findings suggest that speakers’ metaphorical representations of time are shaped by a multitude of factors rather than single space-to-time mappings.
摘要本研究基于语料库数据,采用行为特征分析方法,对汉语词汇“前”和“后”的时间取向进行了研究。语料库分析产生以下发现。首先,“钱”和“怎么样”的主要时间意义是表示时间顺序,“钱”的意思是“早”,“怎么样”的意思是“晚”。其次,说汉语的人倾向于把未来看成是在他们前面,把过去看成是在他们后面。“钱”和“怎么样”都指过去和未来。它们的矛盾用法源于缺乏对自我参照点和时间参照点的区分。其三,“钱”和“怎么样”主要作为时态词在五个构式中使用。他们的结构特征表明,他们的时间取向与他们发生的结构相关。基于语料库的研究结果,作者还讨论了他们在不同结构中时间取向的动机,并认为他们的时间取向源于时间隐喻、时间隐喻所处的结构和语境的相互作用。这些发现表明,说话者对时间的隐喻表征是由多种因素形成的,而不是单一的时空映射。

Why don’t grammaticalization pathways always recur? 为什么语法化途径不总是重复出现?

Abstract Many grammaticalization pathways recur across languages. A prominent explanation for this is that the properties of lexical items determine their developmental pathways. However, it is unclear why these pathways do not always occur. In this article, we ask why English did not undergo a cross-linguistically common grammaticalization pathway, finish > anterior. We operationalize this question by testing a theory proposed on results regarding a language that did undergo this change, Spanish, on corpus and experimental data. While English finish constructions are associated with some of the distributional properties of Early Spanish finish, speakers do not show evidence of conventionally associating finish constructions with a particular type of inference crucial for the grammaticalization of the Spanish anterior. We propose that the non-conventionality of this inference blocks the grammaticalization of finish constructions in English, demonstrating that some of the black box of language change currently attributed to chance can be explored empirically.
许多语法化途径在语言中反复出现。一个重要的解释是词汇项目的性质决定了它们的发展途径。然而,目前尚不清楚为什么这些途径并不总是发生。在这篇文章中,我们要问为什么英语没有经历一个跨语言共同的语法化途径,完成>。我们通过在语料库和实验数据上测试关于确实经历了这种变化的语言西班牙语的结果提出的理论来操作这个问题。虽然英语结尾语结构与早期西班牙语结尾语的一些分布特性有关,但说话者并没有显示出将结尾语结构与西班牙语前语语法化至关重要的特定类型的推理联系起来的证据。我们提出,这种推理的非约定俗成性阻碍了英语完成结构的语法化,这表明目前归因于偶然的一些语言变化的黑箱可以通过经验来探索。

Pre-emptive interaction in language change and ontogeny: the case of [there is no NP] 语言变化和个体发生中的先发制人的互动:以【不存在NP】为例

Abstract This study is centred on the pre-emptive dimension of interactional exchanges. Dialogues are not merely characterised by information transmission, they are also constantly informed by pre-emptive attempts to address potential reactions to what is being said. We argue that pre-emptive interaction intersects with intersubjectivity (i.a. Traugott, Elizabeth C. 2003. From subjectification to intersubjectification. In R. Hickey (ed.), Motives for language change, 124–139. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press; Schwenter, Scott A. & Richard Waltereit. 2010. Presupposition accommodation and language change. In K. Davidse & L. Vandelanotte (eds.), Subjectification, intersubjectification and grammaticalization, 75–102. Berlin: De Gruyter Mouton; Tantucci, Vittorio. 2017a. From immediate to extended intersubjectification: A gradient approach to intersubjective awareness and semasiological change. Language and Cognition 9(1). 88–120; Tantucci, Vittorio. 2020. From co-actionality to extended intersubjectivity: Drawing on language change and ontogenetic development. Applied Linguistics 41(2). 185–214) and constitutes an important trigger of semantic-pragmatic reanalysis and constructional change. We provide a corpus-based study centred on the change of the [there is no NP] construction in Early Modern English dialogic interaction. During 16th century, the chunk is originally used in assertions, however it then progressively acquires a new function of pre-emptive refusal. Something similar is at stake throughout the child’s ontogeny. We provide corpus-based data from the CHILDES database of first language acquisition to show that children’s ability to use [there is no NP] to address potential reactions to what is being said occurs only around the fourth year of age, that is when a Theory of Mind (ToM) starts to become fully developed (i.a. Apperly, Ian. 2010. Mindreaders: The cognitive basis of theory of mind. New York: Psychology Press; Wellman, Henry M. 2014. Making minds: How theory of mind develops. Oxford: Oxford University Press). Pre-emptive interaction correlates diachronically and ontogentically with ToM and underpins a projected turn taking of a specific or generic interlocutor as a result of what is being currently said.
本研究主要围绕互动交换的先发制人维度展开。对话不仅以信息传递为特征,而且还不断通过先发制人的努力来解决对所述内容的潜在反应。我们认为,先发制人的互动与主体间性相交(如Traugott, Elizabeth C. 2003)。从主体化到主体间化。参见R. Hickey主编,《语言变化的动机》,124-139页。剑桥:剑桥大学出版社;Scott A. Schwenter & Richard Waltereit. 2010。预设适应与语言变化。参见K. Davidse & L.

Wellman, 2014。心智形成:心智理论是如何发展的。牛津:牛津大学出版社)。先发制人的互动与ToM在历时性和个体性上相关,并根据当前所说的内容支持特定或一般对话者的预期轮换。

Abstract Traditionally, automated methods for loanword detection have not received an abundance of attention within the field of language contact. However, as research on loanwords has begun utilizing corpora with word counts in the millions, these generous quantities of data pose challenges for traditional methods of linguistic annotation. This paper presents a method for automatically detecting anglicisms within Spanish text and presents a case study, applying this method to explore the social stratification of anglicisms in Argentine media. The findings of the case study suggest that anglicisms may function as prestige markers in Argentina, which may be a logical consequence of the mode of contact: those of upper socio-economic status have greater access to outlets where loanwords seem to emerge, such as the media, Internet, and second language education.
传统上,外来词自动检测方法在语言接触领域并未受到广泛关注。然而,随着对外来词的研究开始使用数以百万计的语料库,这些大量的数据对传统的语言注释方法提出了挑战。本文提出了一种在西班牙语文本中自动检测英语的方法,并提出了一个案例研究,应用这种方法来探索阿根廷媒体中英语的社会分层。案例研究的结果表明,在阿根廷,英语可能是一种声望标志,这可能是联系方式的一个合乎逻辑的结果:那些社会经济地位较高的人更容易接触到外来词,比如媒体、互联网和第二语言教育。

The traceback method and the early constructicon: theoretical and methodological considerations 回溯法和早期构造:理论和方法上的考虑

Abstract Usage-based approaches assume that children’s early utterances are item-based. This has been demonstrated in a number of studies using the traceback method. In this approach, a small amount of “target utterances” from a child language corpus is “traced back” to earlier utterances. Drawing on a case study of German, this paper provides a critical evaluation of the method from a usage-based perspective. In particular, we check how factors inherent to corpus data as well as methodological choices influence the results of traceback studies. To this end, we present four case studies in which we change thresholds and the composition of the main corpus, use a cross-corpus approach tracing one child’s utterances back to another child’s corpus, and reverse and randomize the target utterances. Overall, the results show that the method can provide interesting insights—particularly regarding different pathways of language acquisition—but they also show the limitations of the method.
基于抽象用法的方法假设儿童的早期话语是基于项目的。这已经在使用回溯方法的许多研究中得到了证明。在这种方法中,儿童语言语料库中的少量“目标话语”被“追溯”到早期话语。本文以德语为例,从基于用法的角度对该方法进行了批判性评价。特别是,我们检查了语料库数据固有的因素以及方法选择如何影响回溯研究的结果。为此,我们提出了四个案例研究,在这些案例研究中,我们改变了阈值和主语料库的组成,使用跨语料库的方法将一个孩子的话语追溯到另一个孩子,并反转和随机化目标话语。总体而言,研究结果表明,该方法可以提供有趣的见解,特别是关于不同的语言习得途径,但也表明了该方法的局限性。

On the benefits of structural equation modeling for corpus linguists 论结构方程建模对语料库语言学家的益处

Abstract The present article aims to introduce structural equation modeling, in particular measured variable path models, and discuss their great potential for corpus linguists. Compared to other techniques commonly employed in the field such as multiple regression, path models are highly flexible and enable testing a priori hypotheses about causal relations between multiple independent and dependent variables. In addition to increased methodological versatility, this technique encourages big-picture, model-based reasoning, thus allowing corpus linguists to move away from the, at times, somewhat overly simplified mindset brought about by the more narrow null-hypothesis significance testing paradigm. The article also includes commentary on corpus linguistics and its trajectory, arguing in favor of increased cumulative knowledge building.
摘要本文旨在介绍结构方程建模,特别是测量变量路径模型,并讨论它们在语料库语言学家中的巨大潜力。与该领域常用的其他技术(如多元回归)相比,路径模型具有高度的灵活性,可以测试多个自变量和因变量之间因果关系的先验假设。除了增加方法的通用性外,这种技术还鼓励基于模型的全局推理,从而使语料库语言学家能够摆脱由更狭隘的零假设显著性检验范式带来的有时有些过于简化的思维方式。文章还包括对语料库语言学及其发展轨迹的评论,主张增加累积知识建设。
