SFL-oriented, the UAM Corpus Tool allows the creation of system networks, called schemes in this tool, by means of a user-friendly application, where the user adds subsystems to the general network and features to each system. Figure 7.1 shows a screenshot from the application in use, and Figure 7.2 shows the final product -the system network for ematic Field. e created annotation scheme is therefore the resource feeding the text-segment annotation template. ...

In fact, what the testing revealed was that the scheme in Figure 7.2 was only suitable for the annotation of whole thematic fi elds, where the annotator specifi es the existence or otherwise of an Outer ematic Field, a PH, etc., as shown in Figure 7.3, where the whole ematic Field 'Moreover, Sudanese security forces' has been annotated. e scheme is not suitable, however, for the annotation of the specifi c components of the ematic Field (i.e. ...

With annotation based on the scheme in Figure 7.2, if one chooses, for instance, 'textual-theme: linker' , the tool will then off er choices for 'interpersonal-theme' , for 'prehead' and, fi nally, for 'thematic-head' . is is shown in Figure 7.4, where the textual eme 'Moreover' has already been annotated as such (see the annotation in the 'assigned' box, on the left), and the annotator is still faced with further choices to make, this time for Interpersonal eme (see the labels in the 'interpersonal eme' box). Step 3 e scheme shown in Figure 7.2 is therefore valid for the correct description of the systems of English Theme for representational purposes, as well as for the annotation of the whole ematic Field, with specifi cation of its complexity but without the possibility to segment and tag its internal components. ...

At any stage in the annotation process, statistics concerning the annotated texts can be obtained (see the 'Statistics' tag in Figure 7.7). is will help us to validate -and, if necessary, adjust -the results obtained in the manual annotation phase given that automatic data mining is a more reliable way of tackling statistical tasks than manual scrutiny, which tends to be not only laborious but also error-prone. 7 ...

The discourse on the restructuring of Nigeria is a burning issue in the Nigerian body polity. Its advocates see it as crucial because they believe it can bring about equity and inclusiveness in a society as diverse as Nigeria. The media, on their part, serve as the melting point by availing people the opportunity to express their divergent views on...

This volume assesses the state of the art of parallel corpus research as a whole, reporting on advances in both recent developments of parallel corpora – with some particular references to comparable corpora as well– and in ways of exploiting them for a variety of purposes. The first part of the book is devoted to new roles that parallel corpora can and should assume in translation studies and in contrastive linguistics, to the usefulness and usability of parallel corpora, and to advances in parallel corpus alignment, annotation and retrieval. There follows an up-to-date presentation of a number of parallel corpus projects currently being carried out in Europe, some of them multimodal, with certain chapters illustrating case studies developed on the basis of the corpora at hand. In most of these chapters, attention is paid to specific technical issues of corpus building. The third part of the book reflects on specific applications and on the creation of bilingual resources from parallel corpora. This volume will be welcomed by scholars, postgraduate and PhD students in the fields of contrastive linguistics, translation studies, lexicography, language teaching and learning, machine translation, and natural language processing.
