Analysing Lexical Density and Lexical Diversity in University Students’ Written Discourse
2015
Abstract This study analyses both lexical density and lexical diversity in the written production of two groups of first year students at the Universitat de Valencia at the beginning and end of one-semester teaching period. These results were compared with those obtained by a third group of students aiming at level C2. Lexical density was tested using Textalyser ( http://textalyser.net ) and lexical frequency used the software RANGE (Nation and Heatly, 1994). Our results prove that the students from both groups at level B1 show the same progression between writing tasks 1 and 3. Furthermore, we can claim that it is possible to obtain a reliable measure of lexical richness which is stable ac…
Leksinių samplaikų sąrašo tikslinimas: bandymas taikyti Formulex metodą
2017
A number of corpus studies focusing on the description of the use and functions of lexical bundles havebeen conducted recently in order to explore the phraseology of learner language. As with any studiesof lexical bundles, the problem of overlapping or structurally incomplete items poses a particularchallenge. In practice, it is often difficult to align such units with specific discourse functions. The factthat lexical bundles do not constitute neat form-and-meaning mappings results from, among otherreasons, their being grounded in language use rather than language system. In this pilot study weattempt to test a new method called Formulex (Forsyth, 2015a; 2015b) to verify whether an applica…
Valodas elementu lietojuma variācijas Anglijas un Skotijas dienas laikrakstu tekstos
2019
Laikraksti ir pastāvējuši jau gadsimtiem ilgi un vēsturiski tie ir attīstījuši dažādus veidus, kas attiecināmi uz laikrakstu izmēru, mērķauditoriju, aprakstītajiem notikumiem; tomēr visiem laikrakstiem ir noteikti struktūras un satura pamatprincipi, pēc kuriem tie vadās, lai saglabātu rakstīta teksta tipiskās pazīmes visā pasaulē. Šī darba mērķis ir izpētīt valodas lietojuma variācijas dienas laikrakstu tekstos, kas parādītu, kā atšķiras tematiski atbilstošās nodaļas un valodas reģistra variācijas dažādu tipu laikrakstos dažādos publicēšanas apgabalos. Metodes: Trīs britu un skotu laikraksti ar plašāko lasītāju publiku tika izvēlēti, lai tajos noteiktu leksisko blīvumu un dažādību divās tem…
LEXOP: a lexical database providing orthography-phonology statistics for French monosyllabic words.
1999
During the last 20 years, psycholinguistic research has identified many variables that influence reading and spelling processes. We describe a new computerized lexical database, LEXOP, which provides quantitative descriptors about the relations between orthography and phonology for French monosyllabic words. Three main classes of variables are considered: consistency of print-to-sound and sound-to-print associations, frequency of orthography-phonology correspondences, and word neighborhood characteristics.
