A topological perspective including the systems of voice and process type allowed the identification of a wide range of lexical options that can highlight or occlude the violence and the participant roles of victims and perpetrators.
All essays were analyzed for complexity, grammatical accuracy, fluency, lexical choice, lexical accuracy and propositional content.
Fodor and Lepore (1992) argued that this left semantics with two options: lexical meanings were either atomic (i.e., they could not be specified by descriptions involving other meanings) or they were holistic, i.e., only the set of all true sentences of the language could count as fixing them.
Options for lexical relations and appraisal are described in Martin and Rose [2007], Martin and White [2005].
For this, we tested whether verbs that can select CP complements, namely, whose lexical entry includes a CP option, are more complex than verbs that do not select CP complements, even when both verb types appeared in sentences without embedding.
But with certain notions, a lexical borrowing is the more likely option.
Corpus linguistics has limitations, in that automated analysis of these big data sets restricts linguists to the study of lexical co-patterning, though with the option to explore, via manual analysis, some colligational patterns.
In §3, we discuss controlled forms of structural reasoning, anchored in lexical type assignment, as an alternative to the problematic all-or-nothing options.
For Cooper this co-option is symbolised perfectly in a lexical shift that stands in for the difficult relationship between race and power that has played out in America over the centuries.
We then convert lexicalized trees into dependencies between lexical heads.
