This volume will be of particular interest to readers interested in expanding the applications of corpus linguistics techniques through new tools and approaches. The text includes selected papers from the Fifth North American Symposium, hosted by the Linguistics Department at Montclair State University in Montclair New Jersey in May 2004. The symposium papers represented several areas of corpus studies including language development, syntactic analysis, pragmatics and discourse, language change, register variation, corpus creation and annotation, and practical applications of corpus work, primarily in language teaching, but also in medical training and machine translation. A common thread through most of the papers was the use of corpora to study domains longer than the word. Not surprisingly, fully half of the papers deal with the computational tools and linguistic strategies needed to search for and analyze these longer spans of language while most of the remaining papers examine particular syntactic and rhetorical properties of one or more corpora.

Page 182 - Es war einmal ein kleines Mädchen, dem war Vater und Mutter gestorben, und es war so arm, daß es kein Kämmerchen mehr hatte, darin zu wohnen, und kein Bettchen mehr, darin zu schlafen, und endlich gar nichts mehr als die Kleider auf dem Leib und ein Stückchen Brot in der Hand, das ihm ein mitleidiges Herz geschenkt hatte. Es war aber gut und fromm. Und weil es so von aller Welt verlassen war, ging es im Vertrauen auf den lieben Gott hinaus ins Feld. Da begegnete ihm ein armer Mann, der sprach:...
Page 24 - ... two varieties of a language exist side by side throughout the community, with each having a definite role to play.
Page 267 - ... indignation, but you are too hasty. I do not offer to buy your treasure for money. You love her ; it will naturally cause you pain to part with her, and I prescribe thirty shillings, not as a cure, but as a temporary solace. If thirty shillings is not enough, why, I don't mind making it two pounds.
Page 267 - Meg, my weel lo'ed Meg, my wee wifie that is to be, tell me what's wrang wi' 'ee? MAGGIE: Oh, mither, it's him; the noble gentleman I plighted my troth to three weary months agone! The gallant Englishman who gave Angus twa golden pound to give me up!
Page 264 - I were to tell you half of the particulars of my — unfortunate history. (Crying a little.) Of course, in these matters (turning to Sir Richard, and taking him in) we must all make great allowances for men (Sir Richard acquiesces), especially for sailors. How do you account for it, Jim (suddenly brightening into great joviality and pride), that the best Englishmen have always been such devils amongst the women? Always! I wouldn't give a damn for a soldier or sailor that wasn't, eh?

Page 267 - ee, except love, an' o' that my hairt is full indeed! But it's a' for the best; ye'll be happier wi' him - and twa pound is twa pound. Meg, mak' him a gude wife, be true to him, and love him as ye loved me. Oh, Meg, my poor bruised hairt is well nigh like to break!
