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.

The main aim of this chapter is to analyse under-determination, generalisation, vagueness, and ambiguity in the speaker's self-reference strategies used in Catalan parliamentary debate and Twitter. Parliaments are one of the main arenas where politicians develop their activity. On the other hand, Twitter allows politicians to build their own public image and to be in touch with voters, and citizens in general, in a more direct way. The theoretical background of the analysis includes the classical studies on deixis and on person deixis in Catalan; Goffman (1981)'s participation frameworks; functional linguistics and the ethnography of communication, and Twitter communication analysis.
本章的主要目的是分析加泰罗尼亚议会辩论和推特中发言者自我参照策略中的欠确定性、概括性、模糊性和含糊性。议会是政治家开展活动的主要舞台之一。另一方面，Twitter 使政治家们能够树立自己的公众形象，并以更直接的方式与选民和一般公民保持联系。分析的理论背景包括对加泰罗尼亚语中 deixis 和 person deixis 的经典研究、Goffman（1981 年）的参与框架、功能语言学和传播民族学以及 Twitter 传播分析。

This exploratory study aims to offer new insights into the lexical ambiguity in the interlanguage arising from the use of false cognates. The study is based on written texts from two learners' corpora. Utterances including false cognates were retrieved from both corpora and presented to two groups of native speakers who assessed their correctness and stated whether or not they were ambiguous. While the first group was informed beforehand that the sentences had been produced by non-native speakers (as well as the meaning of the false cognates in their L1), the second group had no information regarding the speakers who wrote them. The goal of this analysis is to shed light on the different perceptions that can arise from native vs. non-native speakers' productions, focusing on lexical ambiguity.

The goal of this work is to put forward a pragmatic and translational framework for analysing target texts (TT) and source texts (ST) containing conversational implicatures that lead to pragmatic ambiguity. Ambiguity, sensu lato, is deemed to be related to indeterminacy and vagueness. Nevertheless, in the strict sense, ambiguity is understood as ‘more than a single processing instruction for a given utterance’. More specifically, pragmatic ambiguity arises whenever differences in cultural conventions between SL speakers and TL speakers lead to differences in the existence, meaning and salience of implicatures among ST and TT. Using real translation cases selected from a purpose-built corpus containing fiction written and oral texts, we show which pragmatic ambiguities translators come across, and how translation techniques are used, either to maintain ambiguity or to select one intended processing instruction.

This article gives an explanation of how recent results on ambiguity logics are relevant to the linguistic and philosophical theory of ambiguity. To this aim, some fundamental definitions and results are explained. We formulate and provide evidence for three main hypotheses: Firstly, ambiguity is not a vague notion. Secondly, in (explicit) reasoning with ambiguity, we always have to consider the parameter trust. Thirdly, ambiguous propositions exist, but they cannot have the same rights and properties as unambiguous propositions; rather they should be considered “second class”.
