collocational

There are many ways in which language can be analysed to produce collocational information.

Collocational information is obtained by taking a corpus and finding how often pairs of words are found together.

The acquisition of collocational information is still somewhat problematic.

Evidently, collocational information can significantly improve the recognition process.

Collocational restriction is a linguistic term used in morphology.

These are collocational ties which in many cases defy literal interpretation, and have to be understood metaphorically.

(other forms include collocational information, encyclopaedic knowledge, semantic networks).

Having said this, a collocation word can have several collocational relationships with the target word throughout the corpus.

These approaches are related to word clustering methods, where co-occurrences between words can be obtained on the basis of grammatical or collocational relations.

It was appreciated at an early stage that the efficacy of collocational information could vary greatly according to the domain from which it was taken.

Collocational information also enable non-native language users to make clearer distinctions between words and expressions commonly regarded as synonyms.

This information can then be used by the semantic analyser to discriminate between alternative sequences of candidate words, by comparing their collocational information.

In the pilot study, the collocational dictionary was very small, and therefore covered the just correct words (being from the same domain) and a few alternative candidates.

Conversely, it may transpire that apparently similar domains make radically different use of those constituent words and hence demonstrate extremely different collocational patterns.

These collocates are formatted to show frequency (as size) as well as collocational strength (as brightness).

According to the criteria given in Yarowsky (1993), seed words that appear in the most reliable collocational relationships with the target word will be selected.

The manner in which semantic information is applied in the current system is to utilise dictionary definitions and collocational information from corpora (Rose, 1990).

Just like collocational and grammatical patterning and a host of other linguistic phenomena, these features of text organization are language- and culture-specific.

Knowledge of collocations is vital for the competent use of a language: a grammatically correct sentence will stand out as awkward if collocational preferences are violated.

His algorithm was applied to the New York Times News Wire Service and produced various lists of collocational expressions from length two to six.

Those presuppositions of a selector, which, if not satisfied by the selectee, give rise to inappropriateness, will be termed the collocational restrictions of the selector.

Lexical Functions play an important part in the lexicon, which of necessity must include information about the collocational and derivational properties of LUs.

Advanced Search results can also be viewed as a KWIC concordance, which can be reordered to highlight collocational patterns.

(It is unlikely that the window size will be changed in the foreseeable future since it currently represents the distance at which collocational information is optimised [Lancashire, 1987]).

Collocational frequencies of words (i.e. word pairings frequencies) provide non-native language users with information about accurate grammar structures which can be used when writing in the target language.
