Висвітлено методи й методики для розробки автоматичного алгоритму аналізу ієрархії типів інформації в дискурсі – даної й нової – з урахуванням декількох типів контекстів, а також аналізу речень з урахуванням альтернатив та істинності суджень. Доведено, що розмежування даної та нової інформації пов’язано з учасниками ситуації: адресантом та адресатом, а формування висловлень залежить від спільних знань учасників процесу комунікації та їхніх ставлень. Увагу приділено теорії репрезентації дискурсу, у якій представлені механізми, призначені для інтерпретації тексту та збереження його змісту. Розроблений інструмент пошуку інформації має містити окремий файл, у якому зберігаються записи про всіх індивідів, події тощо (дискурс-референтів), згаданих попередньо в тексті, а також запис того, що говорит...

Research paper thumbnail of The Landscape of Middle English Focusing on the Adverb Even

Litera: Journal of Language, Literature and Culture Studies / Litera: Dil, Edebiyat ve Kültür Araştırmaları Dergisi, 2022

Functioning as an adverb already in Old English (OE), Middle English (ME) provides evidence to gradual transformation of even into an additive marker according to the following pattern: OE degree/manner adverb→ME restrictive particularizer→ME restrictive exclusive→ME scalar additive. The latter meaning in Present-Day English can be singled out on the ground of such semantic criteria of the Focus phrase as [+likelihood], [+additivity], [+scalar], [+givenness] and [+surprise]. The three types of focusing even registered in Middle English texts are analyzed in terms of information novelty and various Foci types marked by the adverb, as well as, syntactic arrangement of sentence constituents. Corpus studies revealed that depending on the sense, even pertains to a specific Focus type and may cause word order to change. Specifically, when the adverb is used in its Present-Day English meaning, it highlights predominantly mirative Focus, and the analysis of word order patterns indicates the fronting of X-element in the clause, which may be put down to the fact that this scalar additive stresses surprising or unusual context for the reader. Therefore, inverted arrangement of elements may be used for stylistic purposes. Keywords: Focusing adverbs, scalar additive, information structure, Focus, Topic, word-order

Research paper thumbnail of Corpus based studies of Middle English adverb largely: syntax and information-structure

XLinguae, Vol. 14 (2), pp. 60-75. http://www.xlinguae.eu/files/XLinguae2 _2021_5.pdf , 2021

The article considers syntactic changes in English from the language with V2 tendencies to the one with verb-medial order. Such changes make sentence information structure disrupted and new elements arise in the language as 'therapy'. The assumption made in this paper is as follows: the word largely emerging in English in ca. 1200, starts functioning as a focusing adverb in 1400 as a result of the shift in the main word order patterns. Moreover, investigating late Middle English syntactic structure and taking into account different types of foci based on information structure tagging throughout the Corpus, the study found that positional variations of adverb largely are used as a mechanism of marking a peculiar type of focus and are governed by its position in relation to the word it modifies.

The research takes into account the peculiar features of the XV-XVI-century English word-order and the NPs structure that have been more rigidly defined in terms of syntax compared to the previous centuries. The patterns under analysis fall into such types: [only [NOUN]], [only [PREP] [NOUN]], [[NOUN] only]. The tokens retrieved from the Corpus are tagged following the theory of Discourse Representation Structure. Thus, two major layers have been distinguished, viz. discourse given-new information, as well as, Focus and Topic of the sentence. The investigation found that positional variations of adverb only are used as a mechanism of marking a peculiar type of Focus (informational, identificational, emphatic, contrastive, exhaustive and verum) and are governed by the position of adverb with regard to the word it modifies.

Automated data retrieval and analysis provides new insights into the adverb transformation from the contextual perspective, as well as, shows its grammaticalization cline based on various chronological timeframes. The analysis proves that the polysemous meaning of the form correlates with syntactic changes relevant for every time frame and is determined by information-structural considerations. To check the initial hypothesis the study required annotation of giveness-neweness tagging in the text segments retrieved from the corpora. To ensure the automated and semi-automated procedures, the methodology relies on Discourse Representation Theory proving corpus tagging algorithms taking into account discourse, encyclopedic, situational and scenario contexts. Labeling the relevant constituents for their information status presupposes employing "coreference resolution" enabled through "Cesax" coreference editor. The further manual study of focusing just centers on its position in the XP along with word-order patterns registered. To observe regularities in word order fluctuations in the models a special attention is given to different Focus types marked by the adverb in XPs, viz. informational, identificational, contrastive, emphatic, etc.

Corpus and semantic analysis of the XII-XVII c. written records have been the basis for singling out even as a focusing adverb outlining its distinctive features as an additive. The author proposes a new methodology to annotate information structure of the sentences with the adverb retrieved from the corpora taking into account the word-order change over the span of the 1150s-1690s of the English language development and introduces its corpus annotation. There has also been tested the elaborated scheme of tagging given / new information in multi-layer corpora based on Discourse Representation Theory (1st layer) as well as sentence Topic / Focus (2nd layer).

All these types have relevance for the current study given that they may serve as one of the sources of grammaticalization for focusing adverbs in further periods of the English language development.

Головна мета курсу – сформувати у студентіввищих навчальних закладів ґрунтовні знання з германістики як важливоїскладової історичної лінгвістики.У посібнику розглянуті ключові поняття порівняльно-історичногометоду – потужного інструменту вивчення процесу еволюції мов та їхспорідненості. Студенти отримають відомості про побут та культурудавніх германців, їх писемність, релігію і міфологію. Висвітлені основніпринципи фонетичної та граматичної будови германських мов таособливості їх розвитку в різні історичні періоди. Вивчення лексичногоскладу германських мов супроводжується значною кількістю прикладів,зокрема семантичні процеси в англійській лексиці досліджуються на тлі розвитку номінативних одиниць на позначення інструментальності (зброя,знаряддя виробництва, медичні інструменти, засоби пересування тощо) вписемних пам’ятках VII–XVII ст.Матеріал посібника поділено на теоретичний і практичний блоки.Кожен з дев’яти теоретичних розділів містить тематику рефератів і списокосновної та додаткової літератури. Практичну частину посібникаскладають плани семи семінарських занять, тестові або практичні завданнядо кожної з тем семінарів. Посібник містить короткий готсько-українськийсловник, який студенти можуть використовувати для виконанняпрактичних завдань.
