Glossary of Linguistic Terms Glossary of Linguistic Terms accent Often used to refer to distinctive pronuncia­ tions which differ from that of Received Pronunciation It differs from dialect which includes syn­ tax and vocabulary as well acronym A word formed from the initial letters of the words which make up a name, e.g. NATO (from North Atlantic Treaty Organisation) active A clause in which the subject is the actor of the verb; in a passive clause the actor is not the grammatical subject; seep. 14 addressee The person being addressed or spoken to in any form of discourse adjective In traditional grammar a word which de­ scribes a noun, as happy in 'the happy man'; an adjective phrase is a group of one or more words fulfilling the function of an adjective; seep. 11 adverb In t:r:aditional grammar a word which de­ scribes a verb; in 'he ran slowly', slowly describes how he ran An adverb phrase is a group of one or more words fulfilling the function of an adverb; see p. 11 affix A morpheme which is attached to another word as an inflection or for derivation Affixes include prefixes at the beginning of a word and suffixes at the end of a word, e.g. un-god-ly with prefix un- and suffix -ly A derivational affix is used to form a new word, e.g. the suffix -less with hope gives the new word hopeless; an inflectional affix marks grammatical relations, in comes, the -s marks third person singular present indicative 159 160 Glossary alliteration The repetition of the same sound at the beginning of two or more words in close proximity, e.g. 'time and tide' alveolar In phonetics the sounds formed by the tongue closing the air passage at the alveolar ridge (immediately behind the front top teeth) Such sounds in English include ltl, ldl, and lnl analogy The tendency to make all examples of a particular feature follow a regular pattern; thus since most nouns in English form their plural by adding -s, the tendency is for nouns which do not form their plural in this way to change by analogy to this plural, e.g. formulas compared with older formulae article In traditional grammar the name given to a or an (indefinite article) and to the (definite article) assimilation The process whereby two adjacent sounds become more alike in pronunciation because one of them discards those sound elements which are different from the elements found in the other; see pp. 33-4 auxiliary A verb which is part of the verb phrase, but is not the head of the verb phrase except through elision; examples include do, can, may, must, shall; see p. 8 bilabial In phonetics the sounds, such as I pI and lb I, caused by closing both lips and then opening them quickly bilingual Proficiency in two languages, usually as a native speaker clause A clause normally consists of a subject and a verb, though it may have other elements as well Clauses can be linked together through co­ ordination, i.e. when they are of the same status, or subordination, i.e. when one is of higher rank than the other; see pp. 15-17 Glossary 161 code switching The change from one language or variety of language to another\within a conversation A speaker in Belgium might change from French to Flemish and back again depending on the subject matter and the other partici­ pants in the conversation collocation The habitual co-occurrence of two words command A type of sentence which is an order, e.g. 'Go away'; also known as an imperative Such sentences normally have no subject; seep. 19 complement An adjective, noun phrase or a clause acting as a noun phrase which is dependent on a stative verb In 'He is happy', the adjective happy is the complement complex sentence A sentence consisting of at least one subordi­ nate clause in addition to the main clause, i.e. the clause which can stand on its own; see p. 18 compound A word consisting of at least two free mor­ phemes, i.e. two elements which are them­ selves words as in freewheel, where free and wheel are both words compound sentence A sentence of at least two main clauses joined together through co-ordination, as 'He sat down and the seat collapsed'. see pp. 17-18 conjunction A conjunction can be either co-ordinate or subordinate A co-ordinate conjunction joins together elements of equal rank, as the two adjectives in 'a rare and auspicious event' are joined by and A subordinate conjunction usually joins a subordinate clause to a main clause, e.g. if, when, although; seep. 10 and pp. 17-19 connotation The associations attached to a word in addi­ tion to its dictionary definition; e.g. in addi­ tion to its colour meaning, white has the connotation of purity 162 Glossary co-ordination The joining together of two linguistic ele­ ments of equal weight; see conjunction correlative Two clauses linked together by two conjunc­ tions or adverbs which function as a pair to reinforce the logical relationship between them, as in 'Though she is beautiful, never­ theless she is not proud' creole A pidgin which has been adopted as the mother tongue of some people determiner A word that occurs before the head, or premonifiers if any, in a noun phrase, such as the or my; only one determiner can appear before a premodifier or head; see pp. 9-10 dialect A variety of language associated with a particular speech community, either geogra­ phically to give a regional dialect or socially to give a class dialect diphthong A vowel sound in which there is a change of quality during its articulation and is repre­ sented graphically by the first and last point of articulation to suggest that it contains two vowel sounds, e.g. I ai/. diglossia A situation in which two significantly differ­ ent states of a single language are both used by a speech community discourse The organisation of language beyond the sentence dynamic A verb which expresses an action rather than a state and can take forms in -ing as part of the progressive, e.g. come, is coming ellipsis The omission of some part of the sentence which can be understood from the context In the answer 'Yes, he is' to the question 'Is he coming?', the present participle is coming is reduced through ellipsis to is euphemism A term regarded as more acceptable socially which has replaced another term which has become tainted by the unfavourable associa­ tions of the concept it refers to Hence to spend a penny is a euphemism Glossary 163 exclamation A sentence which expresses surprise, amaze­ ment, etc. and is usually followed by an exclamation mark, as in 'What a wonderful day!' see p. 19 finite A term used to describe those parts of the verb which are marked for tense, person and number; see p. 13 fricative In phonetics a term used of consonants which are produced through constricting some part of the air passage, e.g. /f/ and /s/. grammaticalisation The process whereby what had been an optional feature in a language becomes a regular feature of its grammar In English questions it used to be possible to say either Came he? or Did he come? (i.e. with or without a part of the verb to do), but today the do form has been grammaticalised and questions now include the do auxiliary reg­ ularly head The obligatory element of a phrase on which all the other elements depend. In the noun phrase 'the happy man', man is the head and both the and happy are dependent on it homonym Two words which are identical in speech and writing infinitive Equivalent to the base form of a verb which is entered in dictionaries as the headword; it can also be used with to: (to) come; (to) enter inflection The marking of grammatical categories like case or tense through the use of an affix or some other linguistic mechanism interjection A word in traditional grammar which stands outside the normal grammar of a sentence, e.g. 'Damn! she's not coming', seep. 11 inversion Reversing the order of two elements, as for example the order of the subject and verb is reversed to form a question so that He did come becomes Did he come? language contact The situation in which two or more languages come into contact with one another on a regular basis and force their speakers to 164 Glossary adopt some strategy such as the development of a pidgin to enable communication to take place lexis The term used to describe the vocabulary of a language liquid In phonetics referring to lrl and Ill, but often taken to include I w I and I j I sounds as well modal A closed class of verbs which are part of the auxiliary verbs and express such features as obligation and necessity; they include can, may and shall and are used with a lexical verb; see p. 8 morpheme The smallest distinctive unit of meaning in grammar A free morpheme can stand by itself as a word, e.g. boy, but a bound morpheme must be attached to another morpheme, e.g. the -s in boys; see affix, and pp. 3-5 morphology The study of morphemes nasal In phonetics the term used of sounds which are produced by air coming both through the mouth and the nasal passage, e.g. lnl. non-finite Those parts of the verb which are not marked for tense, person or number such as the infinitive and participle A non-finite verb cannot act by itself as a predicator; see p.

  • Normative Labels in Two Lexicographic Traditions
    http://lexikos.journals.ac.za; https://doi.org/10.5788/30-1-1604 Normative Labels in Two Lexicographic Traditions: A Slovene–English Case Study Marjeta Vrbinc, Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia ([email protected]) Danko Šipka, School for International Letters and Cultures, Arizona State University, Tempe Campus, USA ([email protected]) and Alenka Vrbinc, School of Economics and Business, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia ([email protected]) Abstract: This article presents and discusses the findings of a study conducted with the users of Slovene and American monolingual dictionaries. The aim was to investigate how native speakers of Slovene and American English interpret select normative labels in monolingual dictionaries. The data were obtained by questionnaires developed to elicit monolingual dictionary users' attitudes toward normative labels and the effects the labels have on dictionary users. The results show that a higher level of prescriptivism in the Slovene linguistic culture is reflected in the Slovene respon- dents' perception of the labels (for example, a stronger effect of the normative labels, a higher approval for the claim about usefulness of the labels, a considerably lower general level of accep- tance for the standard language) when compared with the American respondents' perception, since the American linguistic culture tends to be more descriptive. However, users often seek answers to their linguistic questions in dictionaries, which means that they expect at least a certain degree of normativity. Therefore, a balance between descriptive and prescriptive approaches should be found, since both of them affect the users.

  • A Minimalist Study of Complex Verb Formation: Cross-Linguistic Paerns and Variation
    A Minimalist Study of Complex Verb Formation: Cross-linguistic Paerns and Variation Chenchen Julio Song, [email protected] PhD First Year Report, June 2016 Abstract is report investigates the cross-linguistic paerns and structural variation in com- plex verbs within a Minimalist and Distributed Morphology framework. Based on data from English, German, Hungarian, Chinese, and Japanese, three general mechanisms are proposed for complex verb formation, including Akt-licensing, “two-peaked” adjunction, and trans-workspace recategorization. e interaction of these mechanisms yields three levels of complex verb formation, i.e. Root level, verbalizer level, and beyond verbalizer level. In particular, the verbalizer (together with its Akt extension) is identified as the boundary between the word-internal and word-external domains of complex verbs. With these techniques, a unified analysis for the cohesion level, separability, component cate- gory, and semantic nature of complex verbs is tentatively presented. 1 Introduction1 Complex verbs may be complex in form or meaning (or both). For example, break (an Accom- plishment verb) is simple in form but complex in meaning (with two subevents), understand (a Stative verb) is complex in form but simple in meaning, and get up is complex in both form and meaning. is report is primarily based on formal complexity2 but tries to fit meaning into the picture as well. Complex verbs are cross-linguistically common. e above-mentioned understand and get up represent just two types: prefixed verb and phrasal verb. ere are still other types of complex verb, such as compound verb (e.g. stir-fry). ese are just descriptive terms, which I use for expository convenience.

We created a tool based on the state-of-the-art transformer architecture implemented in Marian NMT framework that can identify and mark the location of zero copulas, i.e. the position where an overt copula would appear in the non-default cases. Our primary aim was to support quantitative corpus-based linguistic research by creating a tool that can be used to compile a corpus of significant size containing examples of nominal predicates including the location of the zero copulas. We created the training corpus for our system transforming sentences containing overt copulas into ones containing zero copula labels. However, we first needed to disambiguate occurrences of the massively ambiguous verb van ‘exist/be/have’. We performed this using a rule-base classifier relying on English translations in the English-Hungarian parallel subcorpus of the OpenSubtitles corpus.

  • Bilingualized Dictionaries with Special Reference to the Chinese EFL Context Yuzhen Chen, Department of Foreign Languages, Putian University, Fujian, P.R.C
    Bilingualized Dictionaries with Special Reference to the Chinese EFL Context Yuzhen Chen, Department of Foreign Languages, Putian University, Fujian, P.R.C. ([email protected]) Abstract: As a type of dictionary with huge popularity among EFL learners in China, the bilin- gualized dictionary (BLD) deserves more academic and pedagogical attention than it receives nowadays. This article gives an overview of the BLD within the framework of dictionary research, including dictionary history, dictionary typology, dictionary criticism and dictionary use. It first traces, with a special reference to the Chinese EFL context, the origin and historical development of this type of dictionary, and then proposes several approaches to its classification. The strengths and weaknesses of the BLD are evaluated and its role in language pedagogy discussed, followed by an extensive review of the empirical studies of BLD use. Finally, further areas of BLD research are also suggested. It is hoped that such an overview would kindle more research interest in BLDs which is relevant to language pedagogy, dictionary use instruction and lexicographic practices.

  • Preposition Stranding Vs. Pied-Piping—The Role of Cognitive Complexity in Grammatical Variation
    languages Article Preposition Stranding vs. Pied-Piping—The Role of Cognitive Complexity in Grammatical Variation Christine Günther Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Universität Siegen, 57076 Siegen, Germany; [email protected] Abstract: Grammatical variation has often been said to be determined by cognitive complexity. Whenever they have the choice between two variants, speakers will use that form that is associated with less processing effort on the hearer’s side. The majority of studies putting forth this or similar analyses of grammatical variation are based on corpus data. Analyzing preposition stranding vs. pied-piping in English, this paper sets out to put the processing-based hypotheses to the test. It focuses on discontinuous prepositional phrases as opposed to their continuous counterparts in an online and an offline experiment. While pied-piping, the variant with a continuous PP, facilitates reading at the wh-element in restrictive relative clauses, a stranded preposition facilitates reading at the right boundary of the relative clause. Stranding is the preferred option in the same contexts. The heterogenous results underline the need for research on grammatical variation from various perspectives.

  • Interrogating Possessive Have: a Case Study Argumentum 9 (2013), 99-107 Debreceni Egyetemi Kiadó
    99 József Andor: Interrogating possessive have: a case study Argumentum 9 (2013), 99-107 Debreceni Egyetemi Kiadó József Andor Interrogating possessive have: a case study Abstract Major, standard grammars of English give an account and interpret interrogatively used possessive have as a unique specialty of genres and text types of British English. Reviewing descriptions offered by some of these grammars and presenting empirically based evidence on acceptability of usage and function, the present paper offers results revealing the occurrence of inverted possessive have in other regional varieties, specifically in American English. It is suggested that have, retaining its possessive lexical meaning behaves as a semi-auxiliary in such constructions. Keywords: possessive, inversion, do-support, corpus-based, semi-auxiliary, notionally and morpho-syntactically based categorization 1 Introduction What made me start researching the functional-semantic and pragmatic-contextual force of interrogative sentences with the possessive lexical status of have was finding the example Have you a pen? on page 88 of the recently published Oxford Modern English Grammar authored by Bas Aarts (2011). The sentence was given under section 4.1.1.6. titled “Subjects invert positions with verbs in interrogative main clauses”, which section, due to its scope, did not address discussing syntactic variation concerning possessive usage of have, contrasting syntactic as well as cognitive-semantic and pragmatic, usage based issues of formally pure cases of inversion with the co-occurrence of have and do-support (also called do-periphrasis) or the have got construction. This came to me as a surprise, as types of have-based possession could have been discussed in a dictionary based on one of the most valuable corpora of British English, the British component of the International Corpus of English (ICE-GB).
