Natural Language Processing for Corpus Linguistics
Author: Jonathan Dunn
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1009083740
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
Corpus analysis can be expanded and scaled up by incorporating computational methods from natural language processing. This Element shows how text classification and text similarity models can extend our ability to undertake corpus linguistics across very large corpora. These computational methods are becoming increasingly important as corpora grow too large for more traditional types of linguistic analysis. We draw on five case studies to show how and why to use computational methods, ranging from usage-based grammar to authorship analysis to using social media for corpus-based sociolinguistics. Each section is accompanied by an interactive code notebook that shows how to implement the analysis in Python. A stand-alone Python package is also available to help readers use these methods with their own data. Because large-scale analysis introduces new ethical problems, this Element pairs each new methodology with a discussion of potential ethical implications.

Computational approaches to semantic change
Author: Nina Tahmasebi
Publisher: Language Science Press
ISBN: 3961103127
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
Semantic change — how the meanings of words change over time — has preoccupied scholars since well before modern linguistics emerged in the late 19th and early 20th century, ushering in a new methodological turn in the study of language change. Compared to changes in sound and grammar, semantic change is the least understood. Ever since, the study of semantic change has progressed steadily, accumulating a vast store of knowledge for over a century, encompassing many languages and language families. Historical linguists also early on realized the potential of computers as research tools, with papers at the very first international conferences in computational linguistics in the 1960s. Such computational studies still tended to be small-scale, method-oriented, and qualitative. However, recent years have witnessed a sea-change in this regard. Big-data empirical quantitative investigations are now coming to the forefront, enabled by enormous advances in storage capability and processing power. Diachronic corpora have grown beyond imagination, defying exploration by traditional manual qualitative methods, and language technology has become increasingly data-driven and semantics-oriented. These developments present a golden opportunity for the empirical study of semantic change over both long and short time spans. A major challenge presently is to integrate the hard-earned knowledge and expertise of traditional historical linguistics with cutting-edge methodology explored primarily in computational linguistics. The idea for the present volume came out of a concrete response to this challenge. The 1st International Workshop on Computational Approaches to Historical Language Change (LChange'19), at ACL 2019, brought together scholars from both fields. This volume offers a survey of this exciting new direction in the study of semantic change, a discussion of the many remaining challenges that we face in pursuing it, and considerably updated and extended versions of a selection of the contributions to the LChange'19 workshop, addressing both more theoretical problems — e.g., discovery of "laws of semantic change" — and practical applications, such as information retrieval in longitudinal text archives.

The MIT Encyclopedia of the Cognitive Sciences (MITECS)
Author: Robert A. Wilson
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 9780262731447
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 1106
Book Description
Since the 1970s the cognitive sciences have offered multidisciplinary ways of understanding the mind and cognition. The MIT Encyclopedia of the Cognitive Sciences (MITECS) is a landmark, comprehensive reference work that represents the methodological and theoretical diversity of this changing field. At the core of the encyclopedia are 471 concise entries, from Acquisition and Adaptationism to Wundt and X-bar Theory. Each article, written by a leading researcher in the field, provides an accessible introduction to an important concept in the cognitive sciences, as well as references or further readings. Six extended essays, which collectively serve as a roadmap to the articles, provide overviews of each of six major areas of cognitive science: Philosophy; Psychology; Neurosciences; Computational Intelligence; Linguistics and Language; and Culture, Cognition, and Evolution. For both students and researchers, MITECS will be an indispensable guide to the current state of the cognitive sciences.

Natural Language and Speech
Author: Ewan Klein
Publisher:
ISBN: 9783642771903
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
This volume presents the proceedings of the Symposium on Natural Language and Speech held during the ESPRIT conference of November 1991. The symposiumwas organized by the newly launched Network of Excellence on Language and Speech which brings together the foremost European experts and institutions in the two domains. The proceedings contain ten invited papers from leading experts in language and speech research, together with a set of position papers from a panel session on 'Spoken language systems: technological goals and integration issues'. The papers cover a wide spectrum of research topics, ranging from logical aspects of discourse structure to problems of prosody and automatic speech understanding. A recurrent theme is the development of an integrated cognitively motivated theory of the process by which spoken language is understood. This volume is the second of the ESPRIT Basic Research Series. The ESPRIT Basic Research efforts aim at forging stronglinks between academic and industrial teams carrying out research, often interdisciplinary, at the forefront of information technology. The quality of content of this series and its broad distribution should have a majorimpact in making these advances accessible to both academic and industrial researchers.

The Swedish FrameNet++
Author: Dana Dannélls
Publisher: Natural Language Processing
ISBN: 9789027209900
Category : Computational linguistics
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
Large computational lexicons are central NLP resources. Swedish FrameNet++ aims to be a versatile full-scale lexical resource for NLP containing many kinds of linguistic information. Although focused on Swedish, this ongoing effort, which includes building a new Swedish framenet and recycling existing lexicons, has offered valuable insights into general aspects of lexical-resource building for NLP, which are discussed in this book: computational and linguistic problems of lexical semantics and lexical typology, the nature of lexical items (words and multiword expressions), achieving interoperability among heterogeneous lexical content, NLP methods for extending and interlinking existing lexicons, and deploying the new resource in practical NLP applications. This book is targeted at everyone with an interest in lexicography, computational lexicography, lexical typology, lexical semantics, linguistics, computational linguistics and related fields. We believe it should be of particular interest to those who are or have been involved in language resource creation, development and evaluation.
