From Linguistic Forms to Linguistic Contexts KU Leuven
The morphological problem whether Arabic is root-based or word-based is an old new debate.

Negotiating linguistic standardization in Flemish TV fiction around 1980 : laying the grounds for a new linguistic normality Universiteit Gent
Word prediction in computational historical linguistics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In this paper, we investigate how the prediction paradigm from machine learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP) can be put to use in computational historical linguistics. We propose word prediction as an intermediate task, where the forms of unseen words in some target language are predicted from the forms of the corresponding words in a source language. Word prediction allows us to develop algorithms for phylogenetic tree reconstruction, ...
Linguistics terminology and neologisms in Swahili : rules vs. practice Universiteit Gent
In this paper we discuss the use of Swahili terminology in the field of linguistics. In particular, we are interested in finding out whether the rules laid out by scholars in the scientific literature for the creation of terminological neologisms in Swahili correspond with actual practice. In order to do this, three steps are taken. In Step 1 we undertake the semi-automatic extraction of linguistics terminology, by comparing occurrence ...

Settings and interpretation : ‘Umfelder’ and ‘Verstehen’ : text linguistics from a Coserian perspective Universiteit Gent

Coseriu’s framework differentiates between ‘situation’, ‘region’, various ‘contexts’ and ‘universe of discourse’. In order to determine the role of each setting in the interpretation of a specific text, the paper provides a detailed ...
