Cross-linguistic evidence and the licensing of implicit arguments

This paper discusses the occurrence and the licensing of implicit object arguments, also referred to as null complements or understood arguments. The authors argue against purely functionalist accounts that rely exclusively on general pragmatic principles, suggesting that these are insufficient to explain the phenomenon. They propose a two-stage model consisting of a lexical-syntactic and an interpretational-pragmatic component, and emphasize the importance of cross-linguistic data in developing a satisfactory theory. The paper also reviews Fillmore's lexical-syntactic approach and his classification of indefinite and definite null complements, while applying these concepts to various examples.

Corpora and historical linguistics

It also addresses the role of electronic resources in facilitating the empirical study of language variation and change, offering insights into systematic analysis and the integration of language-theoretical considerations in modern linguistic research.

... It's Really Ultimately Very Cruel ...: Contrasting English Intensifier Collocations Across EFL Writing and Academic Spoken Discourse

This paper investigates and contrasts recurrent intensifier collocations across a corpus of EFL writing (The International Corpus of Learner English - ICLE) and The Michigan Corpus of Academic Spoken Discourse (MICASE). It seeks to show that such recurrent collocations are an important part of writers' and speakers' linguistic repertoire and that they may provide a window onto their lexicon. On general grounds, the results indicate that there is a great predominance of boosters over maximizers and that a limited number of maximizers and boosters are used in recurrent combinations.

Computer-Assisted Language Learning and the Revolution in Computational Linguistics

This article examines the historical relationship between Computational Linguistics (CL) and Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), arguing that for a long period they developed independently due to CL's preoccupation with Natural Language Understanding (NLU). The author explores how the 1990s crisis in NLU-oriented approaches led to a more problem-oriented paradigm, creating new opportunities for integration between the fields and demonstrating why recent revolutions in CL offer promising perspectives for the future of CALL.
