Abstract Loanword use has dominated the literature on language contact and its salient nature continues to draw interest from linguists and non-linguists. Traditionally, loanwords were investigated by means of raw frequencies, which are at best uninformative and at worst misleading. Following a new wave of studies which look at loans from a quantitatively more informed standpoint, modelling “success” by taking into account frequency of the counterparts available in the language adopting the loanwords, we propose a similar model of loan-use and demonstrate its benefits in a case study of loanwords from Māori into (New Zealand) English. Our model contributes to previous work in this area by combining both the success measure mentioned above with a rich range of linguistic characteristics of the loanwords (such as loan length and word class), as well as a similarly detailed group of sociolinguistic characteristics of the speakers using them (gender, age and ethnicity of both, speakers and addresses). Our model is unique in bringing together of all these factors at the same time. The findings presented here illustrate the benefit of a quantitatively balanced approach to modelling loanword use. Furthermore, they illustrate the complex interaction between linguistic and sociolinguistic factors in such language contact scenarios.
外来词的使用一直是语言接触研究的主要内容,其突出的特点一直引起语言学家和非语言学家的关注。传统上,外来词是通过原始频率来调查的,这充其量是没有信息,最坏的情况是误导。随着新一波研究的兴起,这些研究从更定量的角度来看待外来词,通过考虑外来词在语言中可用的对应词的频率来模拟“成功”,我们提出了一个类似的外来词使用模型,并通过一个从Māori到(新西兰)英语的外来词的案例研究证明了它的好处。我们的模型通过将上述成功衡量标准与外来词的丰富语言特征(如外来词的长度和词类)以及使用外来词的人的类似详细的社会语言学特征(性别、年龄和种族、说话者和地址)相结合,为该领域的先前工作做出了贡献。我们的模式在将所有这些因素同时结合在一起方面是独一无二的。这里提出的研究结果说明了定量平衡方法对外来词使用建模的好处。此外,它们说明了在这种语言接触情景中,语言和社会语言因素之间复杂的相互作用。

Abstract This article presents a classification and clustering based study to account for the differences among five Chinese light verbs (congshi, gao, jiayi, jinxing, and zuo) as well as their variations in Mainland China Mandarin (ML) and Taiwan Mandarin (TW). Based on 13 linguistic features, both competition and co-development of these light verbs are studied in terms of their distinct and shared collocates. The proposed method discovers significant new grammatical differences in addition to confirming previously reported ones. Most significant discoveries include selectional restrictions differentiating deverbal nominals and event nouns, and degrees of transitivity of VO compounds. We also find that most variations between Mainland China Mandarin and Taiwan Mandarin are in fact differences in tendencies or preferences in contexts of usage of shared grammatical rules.
摘要本文采用分类聚类的方法分析了汉语轻动词“从”、“高”、“家”、“金星”、“左”的差异及其在大陆普通话和台湾普通话中的变化。本文从13个语言特征出发,从不同的搭配和共同的搭配两方面研究了轻动词的竞争和共同发展。提出的方法除了确认先前报道的语法差异外,还发现了重要的新语法差异。最重要的发现包括区分动名词和事件名词的选择限制,以及VO复合词的及物性程度。我们还发现,大陆普通话与台湾普通话之间的差异实际上是在使用共同语法规则的语境中倾向或偏好的差异。

Abstract Pronouns serve as early linguistic cues for the acquisition of the English transitive construction (TC), but previous research has been limited to first language (L1) settings. This study focuses on TC input in the English as a foreign language (EFL) context, investigating syntactico-semantic differences in realizations of TC arguments, particularly pronouns, between L1 parental input and Korean EFL input. To this end, four corpora were created by collecting spoken data from L1-English parents talking to their children, L1-Korean EFL teachers, L1-English EFL teachers, and auditory EFL textbooks. From these corpora, transitive clauses were extracted so that their arguments could be categorized. Mixed-effects negative binomial regression analyses and hierarchical cluster analyses (preceded by principal component analyses) showed that in the realization of TC arguments, Korean EFL input differs syntactically and semantically from L1-English parental input, both for the subjects and objects of TCs. The syntactic difference was particularly pronounced for objects, where fewer pronouns were observed in the EFL input than in the L1-English parental input. Semantically, co-occurrence regularities between transitive verbs and arguments were identified only in the L1-English input and not in the EFL input. Pedagogical implications of the findings are also discussed.
摘要代词是英语及物结构(TC)习得的早期语言线索,但以前的研究仅限于第一语言(L1)环境。本研究的重点是英语作为外语(EFL)语境中的TC输入,调查了母语父母输入和韩语EFL输入在TC论点(尤其是代词)实现方面的句法语义差异。为此,通过收集一级英语家长与孩子交谈的口语数据、一级韩语EFL教师、一级英语EFL教师和听觉EFL教科书,创建了四个语料库。从这些语料库中提取出及物从句,以便对它们的论点进行分类。混合效应负二项回归分析和层次聚类分析(在此基础上进行主成分分析)表明,在TC论点的实现过程中,韩语EFL输入在句法和语义上都与L1英语父母输入不同,无论是对于TC的主体还是客体。句法差异在宾语方面尤其明显,在EFL输入中观察到的代词比在L1英语父母输入中更少。从语义上看,及物动词和自变量之间的共现规律只在一级英语输入中发现,而在EFL输入中没有发现。还讨论了研究结果的教育意义。

Abstract This paper addresses semantic/pragmatic variability of tag questions in German and makes three main contributions. First, we document the prevalence and variety of question tags in German across three different types of conversational corpora. Second, by annotating question tags according to their syntactic and semantic context, discourse function, and pragmatic effect, we demonstrate the existing overlap and differences between the individual tag variants. Finally, we distinguish several groups of question tags by identifying the factors that influence the speakers’ choices of tags in the conversational context, such as clause type, function, speaker/hearer knowledge, as well as conversation type and medium. These factors provide the limits of variability by constraining certain question tags in German against occurring in specific contexts or with individual functions.
摘要本文论述了德语标签问题的语义/语用变异性,并做出了三个主要贡献。首先,我们记录了德语中三种不同类型的会话语料库中问题标签的普遍性和多样性。其次,通过根据问题标签的句法和语义背景、话语功能和语用效果对其进行注释,我们证明了单个标签变体之间存在的重叠和差异。最后,我们通过识别影响说话人在会话环境中选择标签的因素,如从句类型、功能、说话人/听话人知识以及会话类型和媒介,来区分几组问题标签。这些因素通过限制德语中的某些问题标签不出现在特定的上下文中或具有个别功能来提供可变性的限制。

Reconceptualizing register in a continuous situational space 在连续的情景空间中重新定义语域

Abstract Corpus-based methods for the quantitative linguistic description of registers are well established. In contrast, situational analyses of registers have been based on qualitative descriptions of categorical situational characteristics. In the present study, we address this inconsistency by describing the variation among texts and registers in a continuous (quantitative) situational space. We describe “registers” as categorical constructs – culturally recognized categories of texts – but propose that they should be described in continuous terms. Such descriptions allow quantitative comparisons of registers, as well as analysis of the extent to which a register is well-delimited in terms of its situational characteristics. Applying this analytical framework, we also explore a deeper issue: the possibility that some texts are not instantiations of any culturally-recognized register category. Both issues are tackled through analysis of a corpus of web documents. We first identify quantitative situational dimensions of variation, employing the methods of multi-dimensional (MD) analysis. We then describe how the situational characteristics of texts and registers can be analyzed in a continuous MD space. And finally, we propose analysis of situational text types – categories that are statistically well-defined in their situational characteristics – as an approach to describing all texts, including texts that do not belong to a culturally recognized register category.
基于抽象语料库的语域定量语言描述方法已经建立起来。相反,语域的情境分析是基于对范畴情境特征的定性描述。在本研究中,我们通过描述连续(定量)情景空间中文本和语域之间的变化来解决这种不一致性。我们将“语域”描述为范畴结构——文化上认可的文本类别——但建议它们应该用连续的术语来描述。这种描述允许对登记册进行定量比较,并分析登记册在多大程度上根据其情境特征得到了很好的界定。应用这个分析框架,我们还探讨了一个更深层次的问题:一些文本可能不是任何文化认可的语域类别的实例化。这两个问题都是通过对网络文档语料库的分析来解决的。我们首先采用多维(MD)分析的方法来确定变化的定量情境维度。然后,我们描述了如何在连续MD空间中分析文本和语域的情境特征。最后,我们提出了情景文本类型的分析——在统计上对其情景特征进行了明确定义的类别——作为描述所有文本的方法,包括不属于文化认可的语域类别的文本。

Abstract Adopting quantitative corpus-based methods, this paper focuses on the alternative negative constructions in Korean, [an V] and [V anhda]. Logistic regression analyses for a mixed-effects model were carried out on data drawn from the Sejong Korean Corpus. Certain features of the verb or adjective in negative constructions significantly affect the use of the two negative constructions. A relevant factor is register/medium (spoken or written), among other significant interactions of factors. Furthermore, the fact that frequency is consistent with other relevant factors, together with certain diachronic facts of Korean, supports the claim that frequency of use plays an important role in linguistic changes. Another finding is that, notwithstanding noticeable differences between spoken and written language, the factors influencing the use of the two negative constructions in Korean are largely similar in the spoken and written registers.
摘要本文采用基于定量语料库的方法,对韩语中的替代否定结构[an V]和[V anhda]进行了研究。对来自世宗韩语语料库的数据进行了混合效应模型的逻辑回归分析。否定结构中动词或形容词的某些特征会显著影响这两个否定结构的使用。一个相关的因素是语域/媒介(口语或书面),以及其他重要的因素相互作用。此外,频率与其他相关因素相一致,再加上朝鲜语的某些历时性事实,支持了使用频率在语言变化中起重要作用的说法。另一个发现是,尽管口语和书面语之间存在显著差异,但影响韩语中两种否定结构使用的因素在口语和书面语中基本相似。

Prototype-driven alternations: The case of German weak nouns 原型驱动的改变:德语弱名词的例子

Abstract Over the past years, multifactorial corpus-based explorations of alternations in grammar have become an accepted major tool in cognitively oriented corpus linguistics. For example, prototype theory as a theory of similarity-based and inherently probabilistic linguistic categorization has received support from studies showing that alternating constructions and items often occur with probabilities influenced by prototypical formal, semantic or contextual factors. In this paper, I analyze a low-frequency alternation effect in German noun inflection in terms of prototype theory, based on strong hypotheses from the existing literature that I integrate into an established theoretical framework of usage-based probabilistic morphology, which allows us to account for similarity effects even in seemingly regular areas of the grammar. Specifically, the so-called weak masculine nouns in German, which follow an unusual pattern of case marking and often have characteristic lexical properties, sporadically occur in forms of the dominant strong masculine nouns. Using data from the nine-billion-token DECOW12A web corpus of contemporary German, I demonstrate that the probability of the alternation is influenced by the presence or absence of semantic, phonotactic, and paradigmatic features. Token frequency is also shown to have an effect on the alternation, in line with common assumptions about the relation between frequency and entrenchment. I use a version of prototype theory with weighted features and polycentric categories, but I also discuss the question of whether such corpus data can be taken as strong evidence for or against specific models of cognitive representation (prototypes vs. exemplars).
近年来,基于多因素语料库的语法变化研究已成为认知导向语料库语言学的重要研究工具。例如,原型理论作为一种基于相似性和固有概率的语言分类理论,得到了研究的支持,这些研究表明,交替结构和项目经常发生,其概率受到原型形式、语义或语境因素的影响。在本文中,我根据原型理论分析了德语名词屈折的低频交替效应,基于现有文献的强有力假设,我将这些假设整合到基于使用的概率形态学的既定理论框架中,这使我们能够解释即使在看似规则的语法区域也能解释相似效应。具体来说,德语中所谓的弱阳性名词,遵循一种不同寻常的格标记模式,往往具有独特的词汇特性,偶尔出现在占主导地位的强阳性名词的形式中。使用来自90亿个token DECOW12A当代德语网络语料库的数据,我证明了这种交替的可能性受到语义、语音和范式特征存在与否的影响。令牌频率也显示对交替有影响,这与频率和堑壕之间关系的常见假设一致。我使用带有加权特征和多中心类别的原型理论版本,但我也讨论了这样的语料库数据是否可以作为支持或反对特定认知表征模型(原型与范例)的有力证据的问题。

I use a version of prototype theory with weighted features and polycentric categories, but I also discuss the question of whether such corpus data can be taken as strong evidence for or against specific models of cognitive representation (prototypes vs. exemplars).","PeriodicalId":45605,"journal":{"name":"Corpus Linguistics and Linguistic Theory","volume":"15 1","pages":"383 - 417"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2019-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/cllt-2015-0051","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48125671","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}

Abstract In the first volume of Corpus Linguistics and Linguistic Theory, Gries (2005. Null-hypothesis significance testing of word frequencies: A follow-up on Kilgarriff. Corpus Linguistics and Linguistic Theory 1(2). doi:10.1515/cllt.2005.1.2.277. http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/cllt.2005.1.issue-2/cllt.2005.1.2.277/cllt.2005.1.2.277.xml: 285) asked whether corpus linguists should abandon null-hypothesis significance testing. In this paper, I want to revive this discussion by defending the argument that the assumptions that allow inferences about a given population – in this case about the studied languages – based on results observed in a sample – in this case a collection of naturally occurring language data – are not fulfilled. As a consequence, corpus linguists should indeed abandon null-hypothesis significance testing.
摘要载于《语料库语言学与语言学理论》第一卷,格里斯(2005)。词频的零假设显著性检验:Kilgarriff的后续研究。语料库语言学与语言学理论1(2)。doi:10.1515/cllt.2005.1.2.277。http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/cllt.2005.1.issue-2/cllt.2005.1.2.277/cllt.2005.1.2.277.xml:285)询问语料库语言学家是否应该放弃零假设显著性测试。在这篇论文中,我想通过捍卫这样一种论点来重新展开这一讨论,即允许根据样本中观察到的结果对给定人群进行推断的假设——在本例中是对所研究的语言的推断——在本案中是对自然发生的语言数据的收集——没有得到满足。因此,语料库语言学家确实应该放弃零假设意义测试。
