Un caso de variación pragmático-discursiva: que inicial en tres variedades dialectales del español University of Antwerp KU Leuven
This paper presents a corpus-based interactional analysis of non-embedded indicative que-clauses (IQCs) in three regional varieties of Spanish (Madrid, Spain; Santiago de Chile, Chile; and Buenos Aires, Argentina), using data from the corpus COLA (Corpus Oral del Lenguaje Adolescente). On the one hand, we show that IQCs exhibit regional variation regarding the discourse contexts in which they appear: not all contexts are equally available for ...
News topic classification as a first step towards diverse news recommendation Ghent University
When developing an algorithm that uses news diversity as a key driver for personalized news recommendation it is crucial to focus on means to cluster news articles in a fine-grained manner, ideally by leveraging the content of the text. In this paper we investigate semantic classification of news articles in an unfiltered news stream. We first present an analysis of the EventDNA corpus: a collection of Dutch-language news articles annotated with ...

This volume brings together a collection of articles on the form and function of insubordination in a range of languages – providing an up-to-date overview of current research on the topic.

This article deals with English tag questions demanding knowledge or action. Conversationally, these are rather recognizable functions in that they project specific expected responses and involve linguistically construed interactional roles. We focus on these tag questions to compare two analytical models developed within Systemic-Functional linguistics: the speech function model (Halliday & Matthiessen 2004) and the exchange structure ...
