Abstract:

Cognitive poetics has largely drawn so far on psychological models, and only recently have researchers turned their attention to cognitive linguistics. Considering the insights drawn from systemic-functional models over the past few decades and the revolutionary analyses that cognitive linguistics has brought to the fore, several of the difficulties that arise in the stylistic application of Hallidayan, cognitive linguistic and narratological frameworks seem to be resolvable from the perspective of Langacker's Cognitive Grammar (Langacker 1993a, 1993b, 1999a, 1999b, 2001, 2007, 2008, 2009; see

Abstract:

Previous analyses have made insightful progress on how Lushootseed functions primarily based upon elicitation work and morphosyntactic observations. Much of this work is based upon a structural linguistic analysis. For years, this form of analysis has been the primary way Lushootseed has been presented and these insights have been helpful in understanding how Lushootseed functions. Indeed, much of what has been said about Lushootseed on this level is the basis for my analysis in this dissertation. However, there are elements of Lushootseed that do not fit well within this more tradition

Ce mémoire de thèse traite de la modélisation du discours dans le cadre grammatical des Grammaires Catégorielles Abstraites (Abstract Categorial Grammars, ACGs). Les ACGs offrent un cadre unifié pour la modélisation de la syntaxe et de la sémantique. Nous nous intéressons en particulier aux formalismes discursifs qui utilisent une approche grammaticale pour rendre compte des régularités des structures discursives. Nous proposons en particulier un encodage à l'aide des ACGs de deux formalismes discursifs : G-TAG et D-STAG. Ces encodages permettent d'éclairer le problème des connecteurs discursi

Abstract:

Like spoken and written language, the environmental structure of the City provides a communicative map or paradigm that may act as intrinsic devices to elaborate and organize shared communication and the communal experience. The complex systems of the City are filled with challenge, with complexities, its magnitude often masking its purpose as a built environment. However, like the complex systems of language, the City offers structures for interpreting, interacting and manipulating our experience. This essay explores over fifty years of theoretical framework that has sought to articulate the

Abstract:

The present dissertation proposes integrating Discourse Representation Theory (DRT), information structure (IS) and Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) into a single framework. It achieves this by making two new contributions to computational treatment of information structure. First, it presents an uncomplicated approach to incorporating information structure in DRT. Second, it shows how the new DRT representation can be integrated into a unification-based grammar framework in a straightforward manner. We foresee the main application of the new formalism to be in spoken language systems: the

Drawing on a corpus of naturally-occurring spoken and written data, we present a multi-layered explanation of how it-clefts, wh-clefts, and reverse wh-clefts are different from non-clefts, and from one another. After a review of previous research on clefts in discourse, we explore the aspects of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics relevant to the structure and function of all three types of cleft. The discussion falls into three main parts: An analysis of the three cleft types, within the framewor

Abstract:

This study investigates the role of discourse reflexivity in the linear structure of both grammar and discourse by proposing an integrated model combining an adaptation of Sinclair and Mauranen’s (2006) model of Linear Unit Grammar with two of Sinclair’s models for the analysis of discourse (Sinclair 1992, 1993/2004e). It is a model which can be applied both to spoken and written as well as to monologic, dialogic and polylogic discourse. In order to demonstrate the model and how it can be employed in the investigation of the role of discourse reflexivity in the linear structure of discourse, a

Among other deficits, researchers have found that people with Alzheimer's often use indexical expressions without clear referents and convey less information that is relevant to the task they have been asked to perform than healthy subjects.
