    Christian Women and the Making of a Modern Chinese Family: an Exploration of Nü duo 女鐸, 1912–1951 Zhou Yun A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University February 2019 © Copyright by Zhou Yun 2019 All Rights Reserved Except where otherwise acknowledged, this thesis is my own original work. Acknowledgements I would like to express my deep gratitude to my supervisor Dr. Benjamin Penny for his valuable suggestions and constant patience throughout my five years at The Australian National University (ANU). His invitation to study for a Doctorate at Australian Centre on China in the World (CIW) not only made this project possible but also kindled my academic pursuit of the history of Christianity. Coming from a research background of contemporary Christian movements among diaspora Chinese, I realise that an appreciation of the present cannot be fully achieved without a thorough study of the past. I was very grateful to be given the opportunity to research the Republican era and in particular the development of Christianity among Chinese women. I wish to thank my two co-advisers—Dr. Wei Shuge and Dr. Zhu Yujie—for their time and guidance. Shuge’s advice has been especially helpful in the development of my thesis. Her honest critiques and insightful suggestions demonstrated how to conduct conscientious scholarship. I would also like to extend my thanks to friends and colleagues who helped me with my research in various ways. Special thanks to Dr. Caroline Stevenson for her great proof reading skills and Dr. Paul Farrelly for his time in checking the revised parts of my thesis.

  • 3 Corpus Tools for Lexicographers
    Comp. by: pg0994 Stage : Proof ChapterID: 0001546186 Date:14/5/12 Time:16:20:14 Filepath:d:/womat-filecopy/0001546186.3D31 OUP UNCORRECTED PROOF – FIRST PROOF, 14/5/2012, SPi 3 Corpus tools for lexicographers ADAM KILGARRIFF AND IZTOK KOSEM 3.1 Introduction To analyse corpus data, lexicographers need software that allows them to search, manipulate and save data, a ‘corpus tool’. A good corpus tool is the key to a comprehensive lexicographic analysis—a corpus without a good tool to access it is of little use. Both corpus compilation and corpus tools have been swept along by general technological advances over the last three decades. Compiling and storing corpora has become far faster and easier, so corpora tend to be much larger than previous ones. Most of the first COBUILD dictionary was produced from a corpus of eight million words. Several of the leading English dictionaries of the 1990s were produced using the British National Corpus (BNC), of 100 million words. Current lexico- graphic projects we are involved in use corpora of around a billion words—though this is still less than one hundredth of one percent of the English language text available on the Web (see Rundell, this volume). The amount of data to analyse has thus increased significantly, and corpus tools have had to be improved to assist lexicographers in adapting to this change. Corpus tools have become faster, more multifunctional, and customizable. In the COBUILD project, getting concordance output took a long time and then the concordances were printed on paper and handed out to lexicographers (Clear 1987).

  • ENGLISH CONTEMPORARY CORPORA Parpieva Shahnoza Muratovna, Uzbekistan State World Languages University, Second Year Master’S Student
    Proceedings of International Congress on Multidisciplinary Studies Hosted from Samsun, Turkey https://conferencepublication.com December 24th, 2020 ENGLISH CONTEMPORARY CORPORA Parpieva Shahnoza Muratovna, Uzbekistan state world languages university, second year master’s student A linguistic corpus is a collection of texts created in accordance with certain principles (machine- readable, unified, structured, marked up, philologically competent) and provided with a specialized search engine. The linguistic corpus can include both written texts (newspaper, magazine articles and literary works) and spoken transcripts of radio and television programs. Depending on the purpose of its creation, the corpus may include texts of one or more authors of different literary genres, written in a certain historical period. The entire array of texts in the corpus is systematized. The corpus records the order of each word in the sentence in relation to other words and also takes into account the frequency of its use in this corpus. The largest number of corpora is based on the English language, which can be explained by its prevalence, as well as the high level of development of corpus linguistics in the United States and in Great Britain. Among the first national corpora was the British National Corpus (BNC), which is considered as a reference today, since most modern linguistic corpora were created on its model. This corpus was developed at the Oxford University with the participation of the Lancaster University, the British Library, the Oxford University Press, Longman and W. & R. Chambers from 1991 to 1994. The volume of the corpus is more than 100 million words, 90 percent of which correspond to written texts, 10 percent – to spoken ones [1].

  • The Design and the Construction of the Traditional Arabic Lexicons Corpus (The TAL-Corpus)
    Modern Applied Science; Vol. 13, No. 2; 2019 ISSN 1913-1844 E-ISSN 1913-1852 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education The Design and the Construction of the Traditional Arabic Lexicons Corpus (The TAL-Corpus) Majdi Sawalha1 1 Department of Computer Information Systems, King Abdullah II School for Information Technology, The University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan. E-mail: [email protected] Correspondence: Majdi Sawalha, Department of Computer Information Systems, King Abdullah II School for Information Technology, The University of Jordan, Amman, 11942, Jordan. E-mail: [email protected] Received: Oct. 20, 2018 Accepted: Nov. 28, 2018 Online Published: January 9, 2019 doi:10.5539/mas.v13n2p95 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/mas.v13n2p95 Abstract Arabic lexicography is a well-established and deep-rooted art of Arabic literature. Computational lexicography, invests computational and storage powers of modern computers, to accelerate long-term efforts in lexicographic projects. A collection of 23 machine-readable dictionaries, which are freely available on the web, were used to build the Corpus of Traditional Arabic lexicons (the TAL-Corpus). The purpose for constructing the TAL-Corpus is to collect and organize well-established and long traditions of traditional Arabic lexicons which can also be used to create new corpus-based Arabic dictionaries. The compilation of the TAL-Corpus followed standard design and development criteria that informed major decisions for corpus creation. The corpus building process involved extracting information from disparate formats and merging traditional Arabic lexicons. As a result, the TAL-Corpus contains more than 14 million words and over 2 million word types (different words).

    Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands First compiled by Nancy Sack and Gwen Sinclair Updated by Nancy Sack Current to January 2020 Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands Background An inquiry from a librarian in Micronesia about how to identify subject headings for the Pacific islands highlighted the need for a list of authorized Library of Congress subject headings that are uniquely relevant to the Pacific islands or that are important to the social, economic, or cultural life of the islands. We reasoned that compiling all of the existing subject headings would reveal the extent to which additional subjects may need to be established or updated and we wish to encourage librarians in the Pacific area to contribute new and changed subject headings through the Hawai‘i/Pacific subject headings funnel, coordinated at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.. We captured headings developed for the Pacific, including those for ethnic groups, World War II battles, languages, literatures, place names, traditional religions, etc. Headings for subjects important to the politics, economy, social life, and culture of the Pacific region, such as agricultural products and cultural sites, were also included. Scope Topics related to Australia, New Zealand, and Hawai‘i would predominate in our compilation had they been included. Accordingly, we focused on the Pacific islands in Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia (excluding Hawai‘i and New Zealand). Island groups in other parts of the Pacific were also excluded. References to broader or related terms having no connection with the Pacific were not included. Overview This compilation is modeled on similar publications such as Music Subject Headings: Compiled from Library of Congress Subject Headings and Library of Congress Subject Headings in Jewish Studies.
