The final (test) sentence of each story differed in whether it continued the grammatical subject (and first-mentioned character) established in prior sentences or shifted to a new one, and whether it had a pronoun or a lexical noun phrase subject.
The analysis is largely based on the methodology proposed by Biber (2006, 2009), Goźdź-Roszkowski (2011) and Roemer (2009), which enables one to explore the lexico- phraseological profile of two text types and the functions of keywords, lexical bundles and phrase frames found therein, thus providing new data for a description of English used for pharmaceutical purposes.
We propose methods for automatically assessing production of lexical stress, focus, phrasing, pragmatic style, and vocal affect.
Lexical variants of phrases were partially taken into account by using regular expressions.
Results of the cluster analysis shown in Fig. 2 suggest that length is more strongly related to summed word frequency, a lexical variable based on phrase constituents, than to phrase-level semantic variables such as meaningfulness.
