Considerations regarding the notion of ‘word class’ in modern English, with special reference to learners’ dictionaries
No full textThe intersection discussed in this paper is one of the various meeting points of English lexis and grammar, specifically, the notion of ‘word class’. Word class has long formed part of the description of English, and often involves assigning words to one or more of eight ‘parts of speech’. It has long been recognized, however, that such classification is a far from perfect descriptive tool (see, among others: Fries 1952 passim; Hornby et al 1963, p.vi; Quirk et al 1985, p.37; Crystal 1997, p.92); the following are some of the problem areas: (a) word class involves different aspects of the language (morphology, syntax, extra-syntactic phenomena, meaning and function); (b) a variable number of sub-divisions can be made within each class; (c) not all items fit neatly into categories; (d) terminology varies.
Corpus analysis has enabled lexico-grammatical description to become much more accurate and detailed than before, but this also means that when PoS labels are used to help describe the language to the average user or learner, many choices and compromises need to be made (see, with regard to dictionaries, Sinclair 1987). It is within this context that a comparative study was carried out, and will be reported on in this presentation, of five corpus-based dictionaries (References A to E). Aspects investigated were: (1) which word classes are systematically used by each dictionary, and using which terminology; (2) whether and how the classes are described to the dictionary user; (3) whether all words are assigned a word class, and the extent to which phrasal units are also given PoS labels; (4) specific analysis of 35-40 lexical items judged by the present author to present particular difficulties in relation to ‘word class’. Comparison of the dictionaries will include evaluative comments.
In addition, the same investigation was carried out on three editions of analogous pre-corpus dictionaries, published by OUP (1963, 1989) and Longman (1987), in order to see whether and to what extent description has changed over time.

'A nightmare of a trip', 'a gem of a hotel': The study of an evaluative and descriptive frame
No full textThis article describes a lexico-grammatical frame which may be exemplified by the phrase ‘a nightmare of a trip’. The internal semantics are a defining feature of the frame: the second noun is likened in some way to the first noun (the ‘trip’ was a ‘nightmare’). By examining many sets of concordance lines generated from the British National Corpus, a database was created containing about 380 examples of the frame. The article describes these phrases from a number of points of view: their internal lexico-semantic structure, male and female reference, communicative functions, and relation to text type

GartnerThis is a report intended for musicians and scholars who seek to enhance their understanding of any number of the following compositions: Prelúdio No. 1 Mi Menor (E Minor), op. 11 by Ney Rosauro, Prelúdio No. 2 la maior (A minor) by Ney Rosauro, Rotation IV by Eric Sammut, Water Falls for a Desert by Greg Coffey, Strands of Time by Brian Blume, Surface Tension by Dave Hollinden, bitsmoke by Casey Farina.
Each work has been analyzed examined in accordance with Jan LaRue’s Guidelines For Style Analysis. For some compositions including only relative-pitch instruments, analysis of harmony has been omitted. For all compositions, the author has added notable performance considerations, essential technical and interpretive considerations in accord with LaRue’s guidelines. Therefore, the approach taken in analytical categories of this document can be exhibited as Sound, Harmony, Melody, Rhythm, Growth, and Performance
