Paolo Agostini University of Padova [email protected] LANGUAGE RECONSTRUCTION – APPLIED TO THE URALIC LANGUAGES* SUMMARY After pointing out the shortcomings and methodological weakness of the general theory of linguistic reconstruction, the author disputes the alleged antiquity of Uralic. Proto-Uralic as recon- structed by the scholars seems to be the sum of a set of features belonging to several distinct language families. The paper examines a number of lexical concordances with historically attested languages and comes to the conclusion that the Proto-Uralic word-stock is the result of a sum of borrowings that took place from the most disparate languages: Balto-Slavic, Old Swedish, several Turkic dialects, Mongolic, Tunguz, Aramaic, Hebrew, Arabic, late Middle Persian dialects, Byzantine Greek and Latin. Yet, other languages may also come into account: Chinese, Caucasian languages as well as lan- guages unknown in present day are possible candidates. A large number of bases of the Uralic word- stock can be easily identified by following a few phonological constraints. The linguistic features of the Uralic daughter-languages seem to show that they originated from a pidgin language spoken along the merchant routes that connected the Silk Road to North- and East-European trade. It is a well-known phenomenon that sometimes, when groups of people speaking different languages come into contact for the first time, a new restricted language system (lingua franca or pidgin) comes into being in order to cater to essential common needs.

  • The Translation Equivalents Database (Treq) As a Lexicographer’S Aid
    The Translation Equivalents Database (Treq) as a Lexicographer’s Aid Michal Škrabal, Martin Vavřín Institute of the Czech National Corpus, Charles University, Czech Republic E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The aim of this paper is to introduce a tool that has recently been developed at the Institute of the Czech National Corpus, the Treq (Translation Equivalents) database, and to explore its possible uses, especially in the field of lexicography. Equivalent candidates offered by Treq can also be considered as potential equivalents in a bilingual dictionary (we will focus on the Latvian–Czech combination in this paper). Lexicographers instantly receive a list of candidates for target language counterparts and their frequencies (expressed both in absolute numbers and percentages) that suggest the probability that a given candidate is functionally equivalent. A significant advantage is the possibility to click on any one of these candidates and immediately verify their individual occurrences in a given context; and thus more easily distinguish the relevant translation candidates from the misleading ones. This utility, which is based on data stored in the InterCorp parallel corpus, is continually being upgraded and enriched with new functions (the recent integration of multi-word units, adding English as the primary language of the dictionaries, an improved interface, etc.), and the accuracy of the results is growing as the volume of data keeps increasing. Keywords: InterCorp; Treq; translation equivalents; alignment; Latvian–Czech dictionary 1. Introduction The aim of this paper is to introduce one of the tools that has been developed recently at the Institute of the Czech National Corpus (ICNC) and which could be especially helpful to lexicographers: namely, the Treq translation equivalents database1.

Introduction 1 A huge amount of corpus data is now available for English language teachers and learners, making it difficult for them to decide which kind of corpus is most suited to their needs. The corpora that they probably know best are the large, publicly accessible general corpora which inform general reference works and textbooks; the ones that aim to cover the English language as a whole and to represent many different categories of text. The 100 million word British National Corpus (BNC), created in the 1990s, is a famous example of this type and has been used extensively for language learning purposes, but at 100 million words it is too small to contain large numbers of texts within each of its subcomponents, and it is now too old to represent modern usage in the more fast-moving fields.

  • A Corpus-Based Study of the Effects of Collocation, Phraseology
    A CORPUS-BASED STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF COLLOCATION, PHRASEOLOGY, GRAMMATICAL PATTERNING, AND REGISTER ON SEMANTIC PROSODY by TIMOTHY PETER MAIN A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of English Language and Applied Linguistics College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham December 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract This thesis investigates four factors that can significantly affect the positive-negative semantic prosody of two high-frequency verbs, CAUSE and HAPPEN. It begins by exploring the problematic notion that semantic prosody is collocational. Statistical measures of collocational significance, including the appropriate span within which evaluative collocates are observed, the nature of the collocates themselves, and their relationship to the node are all examined in detail. The study continues by examining several semi-preconstructed phrases associated with HAPPEN. First, corpus data show that such phrases often activate evaluative modes other than semantic prosody; then, the potentially problematic selection of the canonical form of a phrase is discussed; finally, it is shown that in some cases collocates ostensibly evincing semantic prosody occur in profiles because of their occurrence in frequent phrases, and as such do not constitute strong evidence of semantic prosody.

  • Enhancing Self-Directed Learning – Verolino
    ENHANCING SELF-DIRECTED LANGUAGE LEARNING THROUGH CORPUS LINGUISTICS: THE PROACTIVE ENGAGEMENT OF THE LEARNER Antonio Verolino Trainee at Language Centre University of Pavia A PROPOSAL WORK FOR SELF-DIRECTED LANGUAGE LEARNING AT UNIVERSITY OF PAVIA This work has been created in association with the Language Centre at the University of Pavia. As the output of an internship within the framework of a more complex project, it has as its specific focus the improvement of self-directed language learning. It represents in fact a proposal to enhance the service provided to international students as far as Italian language learning is concerned. WHO IS THE SELF-DIRECTED LEARNER? Establishing DDL advantages for self-directed learners implies knowing the needs of this kind of learner: Need for directives and learning tips: not every self-directed learner has a linguistics or acquisitional theoretical background. Need for motivation: the most important reason for proactive engagement to be constantly stimulated. Need for deeper knowledge: the learner has to realize which kind of learning process he or she is going through. WHO IS THE SELF-DIRECTED LEARNER? The absence of the teacher requires the mandatory arousal of self- regulating skills: getting at least something done in one day (mini- goals strategy). Personalization of the learning environment: the creation of a PLE (Stevens & Shield 2010) to improve the out-of-class experience. Reflection on one’s productions. WHY IS CORPUS LINGUISTICS A POSSIBILITY? New user-friendly interfaces provide an upgraded learning experience, as they enable students to make their own choices as autonomous users.
