Intra-language differences of motion event encoding – a case of advent paths in Mandarin Chinese
Despite considerable research on motion event encoding, studies from the perspective of intra-language differences are still few in number. To examine whether motion event encoding is influenced by event types (translational vs. fictive events), this study investigates lexicalization patterns and associated linguistic features of Mandarin advent path (one type of fictive motion) expressions and compares them with existing findings on translationa…
A study of visual path expressions in Mandarin Chinese from the perspective of motion event typology
A corpus-based analysis of research article macrostructure patterns
This study investigates how the macrostructure patterns (MSPs) of research articles (RAs) are distributed across different disciplines. The investigation is based on the Elsevier OA CC-BY corpus consisting of 76,835 RAs from 26 disciplines coming from Health Sciences (HS), Social Sciences and Humanities (SH), Life Sciences (LS), and Physical Sciences and Engineering (PE). In this study, we identify 72 salient patterns and show that a higher ratio…
Representational gestures correlated with meaning-associated aspects of L2 speech performance
Gesture and speech are closely associated channels involved in conveying meaning. Previous studies have reported the relationship between gesture use and speech performance for highly proficient speakers. This study extends the investigation of this relationship by correlating the representational gesture rate and complexity, accuracy, and fluency measures for L2 speech produced by lower-intermediate-level EFL learners with Chinese as their L1. T…
Individual differences and usage-based grammar
Since usage-based theories such as cognitive grammar assume an intimate relationship between mental representations of grammar and the processing of instances of language (usage events), corpora have an important role in the development of grammatical analyses. One consequence of relying on corpus data is that individual differences in usage tend to be obscured. To overcome this problem and investigate individual differences in spoken usage, we e…
Corpus linguistics and theoretical linguistics
This paper examines the relationship between corpus linguistics and theoretical linguistics from a variety of standpoints. We consider the nature of the fit between particular theoretical approaches and the three areas in which corpus linguistics has made a significant contribution to our understanding of language: the provision of frequency information, the highlighting of the importance of collocations, and the description of variation and text…
MonoConc 1.5 and ParaConc
The review describes the design and features associated with two Windows text analysis programs: a concordancer MonoConc and a parallel concordance program ParaConc. The general operation and potential uses of the two programs are briefly explored
Corpora for Theory and Practice
In this paper intuition-based studies of reflexive forms such as myself are contrasted with a corpus-based investigation of actual usage of reflexives. The examination of reflexives in English in several corpora reveals a variety of patterns, which are analysed within a schema-based approach to grammar (Barlow and Kemmer 1994). This approach follows the cognitive/functional tradition of grammatical analysis in viewing all grammatical units as com…
