COME and GO + ADJ

I know I've seen some corpus-based analyses of COME and GO + ADJECTIVE, e.g.:

GO: crazy, wrong, bankrupt, postal ( = "negative")
e.g. http://corpus.byu.edu/coca/?c=coca&q=8078028

COME: clean, true, alive, clear ( = "positive")
e.g. http://corpus.byu.edu/coca/?c=coca&q=8078026

 Biber et al (1999:444-45) discusses it a bit, but I know that I've seen longer treatments of the topic, from a
semantic prosody / corpus-based perspective. But in searching LLBA and Google for these today, I can't
seem to find any of these articles again. Any pointers for this?

Thanks in advance,

Mark Davies

NooJ 2011 - 2nd Call for Papers

 

Second Call for Papers

 

NooJ 2011 Conference

Dubrovnik, Croatia

June 13-15, 2011

 

http://lt.ffzg.hr/nooj2011

 

***********************************************

Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Zagreb (FFZG), Croatian Language Technologies Society (HDJT) the Laboratoire de Sémio-Linguistique et Didactique (LASELDI) of the University Franche-Comté and the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme et de l'Environnement Ledoux organize the 2011 NooJ Conference in Dubrovnik, Croatia from 13-15 June, 2011.

 

NooJ is both a corpus processing tool and a linguistic development environment: it allows linguists to formalize several levels of linguistic phenomena: orthography and spelling; lexicons of simple words; multiword units and frozen expressions; inflectional, derivational and productive morphology; local, structural syntax and transformational syntax. For each of these levels NooJ provides linguists with one or more formal tools specifically designed to facilitate the description of each phenomenon, as well as parsing tools designed to be as computationally efficient as possible. This approach distinguishes NooJ from most computational linguistic tools, which provide a single formalism that could describe every linguistic phenomena. As a corpus processing tool, NooJ allows users to apply sophisticated linguistic queries to large corpora in order to build indices and concordances, annotate texts automatically, perform statistical analyses, etc.

 

NooJ is freely available and linguistic modules can already be freely downloaded for Acadian, Arabic, Armenian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, French, English, German, Hebrew, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish. A dozen other modules are under construction.

 

******************************

The conference intends to:

******************************

*              give NooJ users and researchers in Linguistics and in Computational Linguistics the opportunity to meet and share their experience as developers, researchers and teachers;

*              present to NooJ users the latest linguistic resources and NLP applications developed for/with NooJ, its latest functionalities, as well as its future developments;

*              offer researchers and graduate students two tutorials (one basic and one advanced) to help them parse corpora and build NLP applications using NooJ.

*              provide the occasion to present and discover the recent developments of NooJ itself (v3.0).

 

*******************

Topics of interest:

*******************

*              Semantic analysis

*              Syntactic analysis

*              Lexical analysis

*              Linguistic resources

*              Dictionaries

 

***************

Submission:

***************

We invite the submission of abstracts in English until 17 January 2011. The abstracts should contain the title, name, institution and email of the author(s). Abstracts should not exceed one page (between 400 and 600 words) and should be sent to nooj2011 <at> ffzg.hr . All proposals will be reviewed by the scientific committee and authors will be given notice of acceptance of their papers no later than 15 March 2011.

Recherche de ressources

Bonjour,

Dans le cadre de ma thèse, j'ai besoin de données sur lesquelles travailler et plus exactement dans l'ordre de préférence:
 
 * Une ontologie (ou une taxonomie) et un corpus annoté sémantiquement au regard de cette ontologie
 * Une ontologie (ou une taxonomie) et un corpus du même domaine ou le corpus à partir duquel l'ontologie a été construite
 * Une ontologie d'un domaine qui ne nécessite pas une grande expertise

Etant consciente de la rareté de ces ressources, n'importe quelle alternative me serait d'une grande aide.

Merci d'avance
Cordialement,

Stop-list in Wodrsmith Tools Concord

Could anyone help me with a problem I have encountered with Wordsmith Tools. I am working with  a large corpus of more than 7 million words and I want to focus on  a large set of technical, sub-technical and content words without too much noise from function words. I made a stop-list of such words as instructed in the extensive help file where it mentions that Key word, Concord and Wordlist  tools can  use a stop list. I loaded this .stp file and each time I tested a small part of my corpus using the
as   a search word I  got a full concordance of the in that small section.  My stoplist  hadn't worked.
Have I misunderstood the use of stoplist in Concord?   Is there something wrong with my stoplist file or my use of the Concord settings?
Thank you for any help you might give
All the best for 2011

Re: Stop-list in Wodrsmith Tools Concord

Dear John,

As far as I know, the stoplist works with lists rather than with concordances. So use any noun as search word
and check the Collocates for the inclusion of function words in order to see whether your stoplist works.

Normally, you should not need a stoplist for concordances (i.e. you wouldn't not look for "the" if you know
that the programme will exclude examples with "the"). In case you use wildcards (e.g. words starting with
"the*"), you would need to use the "Advanced" and "exclude if context contains", listing all the words to
exclude (e.g. the/they/them/these/then/there...) with a horizon of L0/R0. I do not think that it is
possible to use lists in this function, as normally the relevant sets should be limited.

I hope I have not completely misunderstood your question.

All the best

Georg

Re: Stop-list in Wodrsmith Tools Concord

I think Georg is right, but just wanted to add that you do need to be 
careful to check you're setting the stop-list for the right tool 
(Concord, KeyWords or WordList) in the main controller program.

Cheers -- Mike

Early this year we will be releasing the CRAFT corpus, consisting of
about 600,000 words annotated with respect to eight ontologies.  The
documents are in the domain of mouse genomics, and the ontologies are
all biomedical.

Best wishes,
