Fixed Expressions and Idioms in English A study of several thousand fixed expressions and how they are being used in current English.

Certain papers emphasize pragmatics - in particular, an assessment of corpora annotated for discourse analysis; others detail different aspects of the automatic analysis of text, and describe semantic analysis of large text corpora composed of news/business text.

(Language and Computers 33) As its title suggests, this is a collection of papers from the 20th International Conference on English Language Research on Computerized Corpora, hosted by the University of Freiburg (Germany) in 1999. In presenting selected papers from this conference, the book builds on previous successful works in the computer-aided description of English; it also represents a serious attempt at methodological reflection in this linguistic field of study which is clearly here to stay. By Christian Mair, Marianne Hundt - (Rodopi Bv Editions)   Order Now > Book       Corpus Processing for Lexical Acquisition This excellent work describes corpus processing techniques that can be used to extract the additional lexical information required to compensate for the gaps left by conventional machine-readable dictionaries attempting to read natural language processing tasks. It combines a balanced blend of the theoretical and practical, and provides a detailed look at lexical acquisition techniques and practices. Topics include 'Coping with unknown lexicalizations', 'Task-driven lexical induction', 'Categorization of lexical units', 'Lexical semantics from corpus analysis', and 'Measuring lexical acquisition'. The problems discussed reflect a range of topics which include: 'Recognition of open compounds', 'Incremental acquisition of meanings from sentence usages', 'Recognition of new senses of existing words', 'Sense disambiguation', 'Recognition of specific classes of works', and 'Recognition and annotation of patterns of word use'.
