Indexed in LATINDEX and Periodica / Indexada en LATINDEX y Periodica Printing: 500 / Tiraje: 500 Printed in Mexico / Impreso en México Preface Computational linguistics is an interdisciplinary research area that combines the ideas and methods of linguistics, computer science, and artificial intelligence and has two- fold goal: on the one hand, to study human language by means of modern computa- tional methods, and on the other hand, to develop computer programs capable of hu- man-like activities related to understanding or producing texts or speech in human language, such as English or Chinese. The most important technical applications of computational linguistics include in- formation retrieval and information organization, machine translation, and natural language interfaces, among others. However, as in any science, the activities of the researchers are mostly concentrated on its internal art and craft, that is, on the solution of the problems arising in analysis or synthesis of natural language text or speech, such as syntactic and semantic analysis, disambiguation, or compilation of dictionar- ies and grammars necessary for such analysis. This volume presents 25 original research papers written by 64 authors represent- ing 23 different countries: Algeria, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Islamic Republic of Iran, Italy, Jordan, Lithua- nia, Macao, Mexico, Portugal, Russian Federation, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, and United States. The volume is structured in 8 thematic areas of both theory and applications of computational linguistics: – Computational lexicography and lexical resources – Morphology and syntax – Semantics – Anaphora and co-reference – Text classification – Text summarization – Speech generation – Applications The papers included in this volume were selected on the base of rigorous interna- tional reviewing process out of 65 submissions considered for evaluation; thus the acceptance rate of this volume was 38%. I would like to cordially thank all people involved in the preparation of this volume. In the first place I want to thank the authors of the published paper for their excellent research work that gives sense to the work of all other people involved, as well as the authors of rejected papers for their interest and effort. I also thank the members of the Editorial Board of the volume and additional reviewers for their hard work on review- ing and selecting the papers. I thank Sulema Torres, Ignacio Garcia Araoz, Oralia del Carmen Pérez Orozco, and Raquel López Alamilla for their valuable collaboration in preparation of this volume.

  • 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).

This year, the CICLing conference is dedicated to the memory of Adam Kilgarriff who died last year. Adam leaves behind a tremendous scientific legacy and those working in computational linguistics, other fields of linguistics and lexicography are indebted to him. This paper is a summary review of some of Adam’s main scientific contributions. It is not and cannot be exhaustive. It is writ- ten by only a small selection of his large network of collaborators. Nevertheless we hope this will provide a useful summary for readers wanting to know more about the origins of work, events and software that are so widely relied upon by scientists today, and undoubtedly will continue to be so in the foreseeable future. 1 Introduction Last year was marred by the loss of Adam Kilgarriff who during the last 27 years contributed greatly to the field of computational linguistics1, as well as to other fields of linguistics and to lexicography.

  • Finding Definitions in Large Corpora with Sketch Engine
    Finding Definitions in Large Corpora with Sketch Engine Vojtechˇ Kova´rˇ1;2, Monika Mociarikovˇ a´1, Pavel Rychly´1;2 1NLP Centre, Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic 2Lexical Computing CZ, Brno, Czech Republic xkovar3@fi.muni.cz, [email protected], pary@fi.muni.cz Abstract The paper describes automatic definition finding implemented within the leading corpus query and management tool, Sketch Engine. The implementation exploits complex pattern-matching queries in the corpus query language (CQL) and the indexing mechanism of word sketches for finding and storing definition candidates throughout the corpus. The approach is evaluated for Czech and English corpora, showing that the results are usable in practice: precision of the tool ranges between 30 and 75 percent (depending on the major corpus text types) and we were able to extract nearly 2 million definition candidates from an English corpus with 1.4 billion words. The feature is embedded into the interface as a concordance filter, so that users can search for definitions of any query to the corpus, including very specific multi-word queries. The results also indicate that ordinary texts (unlike explanatory texts) contain rather low number of definitions, which is perhaps the most important problem with automatic definition finding in general. Keywords: Sketch Engine, definition, definitions, CQL, corpora 1. Introduction 2.

    SKETCH ENGINE: A TOOLBOX FOR LINGUISTIC DISCOVERY1 THOMAS, James: DISCOVERING ENGLISH WITH SKETCH ENGINE: A CORPUS- BASED APPROACH TO LANGUAGE EXPLORATION. 2nd ed. Brno: Versatile, 2016. 228 p. ISBN: 9788026083603 THOMAS, James: DISCOVERING ENGLISH WITH SKETCH ENGINE: WORKBOOK AND GLOSSARY. Brno: Versatile, 2016. 140 p. ISBN: 9788026095798 A new paradigm in linguistics, new language analysis tools along with easy access to a substantial amount of electronic texts have made researchers, lexicographers, terminologists, translators and language instructors increasingly interested in corpora. This has led to a higher demand for practical corpus knowledge and skills: which query tools and corpora are available, what they can do and how to use them. However, learning to use query tools requires a greater awareness of the linguistic theory within the neo-Firthian paradigm, which focuses on the interconnection of lexis and grammar. Operational knowledge is inseparable from the theoretical implications that guide research questions and help in the interpretation of corpus data. Indeed, using a corpus tool means understanding and accepting a certain amount of linguistic assumptions incorporated into it by the designers (Anthony, 2013). In language teaching, the gap between scientific advances and the methodologies in use tends to be wide. There is a clear lack of instructional materials and theory-backed know-how in the field. In this context, the new comprehensive textbook onSketch Engine (SkE) by James Thomas is especially timely. This book constitutes a practical hands-on introduction to corpus linguistics built around SkE and focused on English language teaching (ELT) and learning. SkE is a set of software tools for corpus analysis developed by Lexical Computing Ltd.
