  1. 1. How negation influences word order in languages : Automatic classification of word order preference in positive and negative transitive clauses

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik och filologi

    Author : Chen Lyu; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this work, we explore the possibility of using word alignment in parallel corpus to project language annotations such as Part-of-Speech tags and dependency relation from high-resource languages to low-resource languages. We use a parallel corpus of Bible translations, including 1,444 translations in 986 languages, and a well-developed parser is used to annotate source languages (English, French, German, and Czech).

  3. 2. Adjectives expressing sadness in Swedish and English : A contrastive lexical analysis

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik

    Author : Sandra Magni; [2023]
    Keywords : sadness; lexical typology; predicative; attributive; experiencer; stimulus; edsenhet; lexikal typologi; predikativ; attributiv; upplevare; stimulus;

    Abstract : This study examines how Swedish and English adjectives relating to the semantic domain of SADNESS are used and what some of their semantic and syntactic characteristics are. The primary objectives of this study are to determine whether the adjectives in question are used more often attributively or predicatively, whether they are used more frequently along with the semantic role of stimulus or experiencer and whether there are any syntactic, semantic or lexical disparities in how Swedish and English encode the domain of SADNESS.

  6. 5. "For the fifty-eleventh time" : Examining cross-linguistic properties of hyperbolic numerals and quasi-numeral expressions through parallel text extraction

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik

    Author : Amanda Kann; [2022]
    Keywords : hyperbole; hyperbolic quantification; numeral typology; parallel texts; quasi-numerals; hyperbol; hyperbolisk kvantifiering; kvasinumeriska uttryck; parallelltexter; räkneordstypologi;

    Abstract : In some languages, vague and exaggerated quantities can be represented using certain conventionalised numeral expressions with cross-linguistically varying values, such as Danish hundredesytten "117". Hyperbolic quantities can also be expressed using other quantifier expressions (such as English zillion) which, while they do not denote a specific numerical value, have both structural and functional similarities with exact numerals.
