If words have their typical phraseologies, such that words are not selected in isolation but in variable phrases, then it is unsatisfactory to propose that each lexical item is the end-point of an individual bundle of systemic choices.
Hunston and Francis (2000 28) argue against this view: If words have their typical phraseologies, such that words are not selected in isolation but in variable phrases, then it is unsatisfactory to propose that each lexical item is the end-point of an individual bundle of systemic choices.
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.
The questions about sickness absence (the dependent variables) were phrased as follows: "Have you had any sickness absence in the past 12 months?" (yes/no).
On "Do Something," one of several prewar standards front-loaded in the set, Ms. McGarry explored a variable approach to phrasing over a smooth but lively background provided by the Hammond B-3 organist Gary Versace, the bassist Matt Penman and the drummer Clarence Penn.
Dupont's lark song includes a variable number of discrete phrases or song types that are shared by neighbouring males during spring disputes (song spectrograms can be found in Laiolo & Tella [11]).
We examined variation in phrase and song variables relative to individuals and regions.
To do this, we defined the onset of each condition separately as the offset of the ambiguous phrase and then included an extra variable of no interest with onset at the start of the sentence and duration up to the end of the ambiguous phrase, combining all sentence types.
Here's how it works: Lawyers can drag an already customized world document into Lawyaw's platform and it will automatically use natural language processing to first figure out what sections need to be replaced, then actually fill in those sections with the correct personalized phrases and variables.
This suggests that letter length bears a relationship to meaningfulness that is different from that of variables such as whole-phrase frequency or distance in semantic space that are more straightforwardly related to semantics.
