The paper, involving a textlinguistic analysis, attempts to identify specific features of the Polish administrative language in the entries of the parish register from Busko-Zdrój in the 19th century. The aim of the investigation is to answer the question as to whether the examined annotations can be regarded as a pattern of the registration in a parish register and so as a text type. The author focuses on the structure and characteristics of different entries. The research area defined in such a manner is based on the outlining of structure and the function of the parish registers and their notes.

Light verb constructions (German Funktionsverbgefüge = FVGs) are complex predicates consisting of a semantically light verb, which has lost its lexical meaning and just has a functional role, and a noun phrase (with or without preposition). The noun occurring in FVGs is an abstract noun derived from a verb and can be combined with another phrasal elements. FVGs are semantically a specific category of noun-verb-phrases between idioms and collocations because they share characteristics with both categories. The paper outlines the topological properties of FVGs, especially of the noun phrases, which are perhaps the most underrated aspect of FVGs and has not been the subject of intense linguistic research. The syntactic function of the noun phrase arouses much controversy in grammatical descriptions and may be cause of language mistakes or even errors. Based on modern linguistic descriptions of FVGs we then focus on the linear position of the noun and its attributes in central-verbal clauses (German Verb-Zweit-Sätze) and in final-verbal clauses (German Verb-Letzt-Sätze) and conditions of the realization of the so-called Nachfeld and Vorfeld syntactic fields.

This article offers insight into the generic profile of news media discourse (O’Keeffe 2006:1, Silverstein 2005:7, Van Dijk 2008:94, Kopytowska 2013:379) based on the (Western) online news coverage during the first day of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. It is believed that the generic value of news reportings is realised in patterns which underlie discourse order (Foucault 1972:49), generate its cultural representations (Silverstein 1975:157, Sherzer 1983:11, Chilton 2004:48, Bazerman 2020:152), and construct its social reality (Foley 1997:24, Langacker 2008:21). Advancing the concept of collocates as a tool for establishing lexical patterns in online news reports, examined through a referential lens of anthropological pragmatics (Chruszczewski 2011:50), this paper provides an integrated approach which combines the quantitative method of a concordance-informed discourse analysis (Baker 2006:92) and a qualitative approach which presents how text provides for the context of use through the dimension of media framing (Anshori/Pawito/Tri Kartono/Hastjarjo 2022, Goffman 1986:26).

The aim of this article is to present the possibilities of utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) in foreign language didactics, as AI increasingly influences the methods of teaching and learning. The research findings presented, conducted in recent years by scientists from various scientific disciplines, pertain to the potential applications of AI in education and foreign language didactics. They indicate the strengths and weaknesses of AI implementation, as well as the opportunities and risks associated with utilizing and integrating AI into the educational process. The author describes the most frequently mentioned characteristics of AI that support language education and focuses on those features of AI systems that are teacher-oriented, assist in their work, and allow for the individualization of teaching methods.

This article investigates what structural ambiguity reveals about the architecture of language. It analyzes two basic types of structural ambiguity, constituent ambiguity and chain formation ambiguity, and illustrates with a small class of selected case studies how they interweave. It observes that several movement locality constraints have the effect of reducing chain formation ambiguities; however, it argues that movement locality constraints are not primarily motivated to reduce ambiguity. Finally, it defends that structural ambiguity is due to a loss of resolution at the PF branch of the language faculty.

This paper explores the range of uses associated with se constructions in Mexican Spanish. The validity of treating most se constructions as passives is under scrutiny. In contrast, a model to analyze the emergence of an important variety of impersonal interpretations is proposed. Arbitrary and quasi-universal construals conform the base for finer interpretations for se constructions. In agreement with a usage-based model, passive, impersonal and middle constructions are evaluated against four different genres which presumably determine the choice of se constructions for specific communicative necessities. While impersonal se constructions characterize journalistic writing and formal oral usage, middle se constructions are dominant in oral informal genres. Further specialization for impersonal se constructions, such as rules, norms, performative and arbitrary constructions are identified as a result of particular contexts determinacies.
本文探讨了墨西哥西班牙语中与 se 结构相关的各种用法。将大多数 se 结构视为被动语态的正确性受到了质疑。与此相反，本文提出了一个模型来分析各种重要的非人格解释的出现。任意和准通用的构式符合对 se 结构进行更精细解释的基础。与基于用法的模式一致，被动结构、非人称结构和中间结构是根据四种不同的体裁进行评估的，这些体裁可能决定了在特定交际需要中对人称结构的选择。非个人 SE 结构是新闻写作和正式口语使用的特点，而中间 SE 结构则在非正式口语体裁中占主导地位。由于特定语境的决定性作用，非人为 SE 结构（如规则、规范、表演性和任意性结构）被进一步特殊化。

This paper argues for the occurrence of movement that is not the by-product of an Agree relation in which a probe searches for a goal. The hypothesis that not all instances of movement might be feature-driven was entertained in early Minimalism, but it has nevertheless become widely assumed that all instances of syntactic movement should be attributed to the operation of Agree. Here, using complex patterns of DP-internal movement in Bangla, we argue that certain instances of syntactic movement may indeed take place without Agree. Taking the Phase Impenetrability Condition/PIC as the signature property of phases, and sensitivity to the PIC to be indicative of Agree-related movement, we show that some occurrences of movement within a single domain are constrained by the PIC, while others are not.

Political discourse has been characterised as being ‘vague’ and ‘ambiguous’. It is argued that politicians tend to use generic and unspecific words in order to avoid explicit commitment (McGee 2018). Although this situation may describe discourse genres such as political interviews and election debates, it is unclear that it can be applied to parliamentary debate. This study analyses a corpus consisting of two parliamentary debates in English and Catalan with respect to ambiguity, vagueness and generality in connection to referential cohesion. Three variables are qualitatively and quantitatively analysed: a) the abstractness of the topics, b) the non-specific or specific nature of these entities, and c) the grammatical or lexical nature of the units that maintain referential cohesion. The results show that ambiguity and vagueness are rather infrequent in parliamentary debate. However, the high frequencies of non-concrete referential entities, and of non-specific referents characterise parliamentary debate as a general discourse. As a counterpart, lexical cohesion devices as repetition and encapsulation highlight the topics under discussion, what leads to avoid ambiguity and vagueness.
