The first objective of this book is to make thereader aware of the uses of copy processing. Letters, reports, brochures, bulletins, business cards, and announcements are only a few of the information sources upon which businesses rely. All of these sources are prepared through copy processing. In-plant reproduction is becoming more and more common in medium and large companies. Small to medium companies often go to outside services for the majority of their copy processing needs. In either situation, those involved in producing the information must have knowledge of how to get it reproduced and distributed...
Based on a transcultural understanding of politeness and translation, this book proposes a transdisciplinary methodology for detecting patterns of perceiving and realizing politeness by users of English with different lingua-cultural biographies. It contains aspects of automated data processing and is designed for long-term research.
This book discusses developments in the study of implicatures and presuppositions, drawing on recent linguistic and psycholinguistic literature. It provides original discussions of specific formal aspects of the theoretical reconstruction of these phenomena. The authors offer innovative experimental analyses in which crucial processing questions are addressed, and new experimental methodologies are introduced.
This book presents a unique opportunity for constructing a consistent image of collaborative manual annotation for Natural Language Processing (NLP). NLP has witnessed two major evolutions in the past 25 years: firstly, the extraordinary success of machine learning, which is now, for better or for worse, overwhelmingly dominant in the field, and secondly, the multiplication of evaluation campaigns or shared tasks. Both involve manually annotated corpora, for the training and evaluation of the systems.
The study of linguistics has been forever changed by the advent of the computer. Not only does the machine permit the processing of enormous quantities of text thereby securing a better empirical foundation for conclusions-but also, since it is a modelling device, the machine allows the implementation of theories of grammar and other kinds of language processing.
