The literary dramatic text as a corpus for historical analysis of facework activities
2016
This paper aims to justify the use of theatre plays as valid corpus to characterize aspects of Spanish socio-cultural face, specifically the historical evolution of face work in Spanish. Literature works have not always been considered as valid corpus due to its fictional nature and stylistic purpose. However, this paper aims not only to refute these two arguments against the use of plays, but also to propose different arguments that support the use of this type of corpus. In fact, it is suggested that plays, may constitute data for pragmatic analysis because they present sociocultural implications, interactional development of the action, a wide range of communicative situations and psicop…
European Security Under Threat: Mediating the Crisis and Constructing the Other
2017
Departing from the assumption that discourse is both socially constituted and constitutive, and that social reality is co-constructed by the institutions of mass communication, this chapter takes under scrutiny media representation of the recent refugee crisis in Europe. The objective behind it is to maximise the validity of the Media Proximization Approach (MPA), drawing on the insights from Critical Discourse Studies, cognitive linguistics and corpus linguistics, in explicating how the media can potentially impact on the salience of issues and thus on public perception of problems and threats along with measures to be taken to deal with them. Examining the data from Poland, a European Uni…
Register Variation in Electronic Business Correspondence
2011
Electronic correspondence is a highly dynamic genre within the business world in which Register Variation (RV) is frequently used as a tool to improve communication but it often can lead to misunderstanding. In order to shed some light on this still unexplored area, the present study firstly offers a practical approach to classify and analyse RV within professional communication. After this, it reviews previous studies on email writing to apply their findings to this approach and, in the third part of the study, a corpus of recent business emails in English is analysed to examine how the key parameters of RV are currently used within this genre. The results will show that, not only the cont…

2020
El Real Colegio-Seminario de Corpus Christi es el objeto de la investigación, que abarca los aspectos constructivos del edificio, fundado en Valencia por el Santo Juan de Ribera en 1584. El Colegio sigue manteniendo su función de institución dirigida a la instrucción de sacerdotes.El edificio representa hoy un testimonio notable de la historia de la cultura valenciana y a menudo ha sido objeto de numerosas y complejas investigaciones, desde la historia del arte hasta la historia de la sociedad y de la arquitectura. La documentación conservada en su archivo, su arquitectura y los objetos de arte que le pertenecen lo convierten en un edificio emblemático del renacimiento español, consecuencia…
Lesiones de hemisferio derecho. Materiales y análisis pragmático (Volumen VII del corpus PerLA).
2011
El corpus PerLA (“Percepción, Afasia y Lenguaje”), surge en el área de Lingüística General de la Universitat de València como respuesta a la necesidad de integrar el estudio de las patologías lingüísticas en las tendencias actuales de la pragmática y la lingüística de corpus. En esta ocasión se presentan seis transcripciones en las que participa un hablante con lesión cerebral de hemisferio derecho, una situación que ha sido poco investigada desde planteamientos lingüístico-logopédicos, y para la que la bibliografía suele proponer síntomas de escaso alcance verbal, como la disprosodia o la agnosia visual. No obstante, el análisis detenido de los datos ecológicos permite comprobar la alterac…

The Usability of the Annotation
2016
Several corpus projects for sign languages have tried to establish conventions and standards for the annotation of signed data. When discussing corpora, it is necessary to develop a way of considering and evaluating holistically the features and problems of annotation. This paper aims to develop a conceptual framework for the evaluation of the usability of annotations. The purpose of the framework is not to give conventions for annotating but to offer tools for the evaluation of the usability of the annotation, in order to make annotations more usable and make it possible to justify and explain decisions about annotation conventions. Based on our experience of annotation in the corpus proje…
Acceptable or not? : split infinitives in American English
2012
Tutkielmani tarkoitus on selvittää, kuinka usein englannin infinitiivirakenne jaetaan kahteen osaan laittamalla osien väliin adverbi (engl. split infinitive). Lisäksi tarkastelen, minkälaisia adverbeja esiintyy jaettujen infiniitivien kanssa ja onko adverbien laadussa tapahtunut muutoksia menneisyydestä nykypäivään. Tutkielman tavoitteena on siis vastata kysymyksiin: miten jaetun infinitiivin käyttö on vaihdellut vuosien 1810 ja 2009 välillä ja millaiset adverbit yleisimmin jakavat infinitiivejä. Datana tutkimuksessani käytän korpusta, koska korpukset tarjoavat suuren määrän dataa, joka on kerätty kielen luonnollisissa käyttötilanteissa. Tutkin kvantitatiivisesti jaettujen infinitiivien yle…
Statystyka, programowanie i co jeszcze? : o wyzwaniach współczesnego językoznawstwa
2020
This chapter offers a refl ection on the state-of-the-art and the future of linguistics. In the light of rapid development and growing popularity of quantitative, statistical research methods, the author refl ects upon their impact on contemporary linguistics (notably corpus linguistics), notably as regards methodology and linguistic data analysis. An attempt is also made in this paper to ruminate over the skills required from linguists regarding current publication standards in top-notch journals and research quality requirements. The discussion focuses on statistics and programming skills as more and more studies make ample use of various statistical metrics and computational tools. The a…
Inter-annotator agreement in spoken language annotation: Applying uα-family coefficients to discourse segmentation
2021
As databases make Corpus Linguistics a common tool for most linguists, corpus annotation becomes an increasingly important process. Corpus users do not need only raw data, but also annotated data, submitted to tagging or parsing processes through annotation protocols. One problem with corpus annotation lies in its reliability, that is, in the probability that its results can be replicable by independent researchers. Inter-annotation agreement (IAA) is the process which evaluates the probability that, applying the same protocol, different annotators reach similar results. To measure agreement, different statistical metrics are used. This study applies IAA for the first time to the Valencia E…
