Mobile Assisted Language Learning (or, simply, MALL) is gradually gaining ground in the field of education, as it supports (1) blended learning (Bueno y López, 2013; Rodríguez et al., 2012); (2) ubiquitous learning (Peng et al., 2009); and (3) a learning method that is usually also practical, interactive, adaptive, dynamic and deeply rooted in dail...

Even though we use standards pervasively and constantly in our lives, this is not so frequent a case in terminology, language and/or linguistics works. This might be due to the fact that the related standards have been created quite recently and, thus, they and the benefits that entail using them are not so well-known so far. Thus, the main goal of...

Developing language resources requires much time, funding and effort. This is why they need to be reused in new projects and developments, so that they may both serve a wider scientific community and sustain their cost. The main problems that prevent this from happening are that (1) language resources are rarely free and/or easy to locate; and (2)...

This paper presents the research carried out on the analysis of the adaptations that should be included in mobile devices so that they can be applied to ubiquitous language learning. These adaptations have been determined within the SO-CALL-ME project, following the ‘Design For All’ and ‘User-Centered Design’ principles. This work focuses on the us...

Although with the Semantic Web initiative much research on web pages semantic annotation has already done by AI researchers, linguistic text annotation, including the semantic one, was originally developed in Corpus Linguistics and its results have been somehow neglected by AI. ...

This paper presents the application of the format to various linguistic scenarios with the aim of making it the standard serialisation for the ISO 24615 (SynAF) standard. After outlining the main characteristics of both the SynAF meta-model and the format, as extended from the initial Tiger XML format (König & Lezius, 2000), we show through a range...

This paper presents the OntoLingAnnot annotation framework, already developed for the annotation of morphological, syntactic, semantic and discourse phenomena, and its extension to cover the annotation of pragmatic phenomena. This extension was considered the ideal test bed for the interoperability of the linguistic annotations performed by means o...

This paper introduces the ontology of linguistic relations (LRO) of the OntoLingAnnot framework. This ontology is, as far as we know, the first attempt to formalize in an ontology the main linguistic relations identified and/or standardized thus far. With the aim of linguistic annotation in mind, the development of this ontology took into account t...

Recently, computational linguists have shown great interest in discourse annotation in an attempt to capture the internal relations in texts. With this aim, we have formalized the linguistic knowledge associated to discourse into different linguistic ontologies. In this paper, we present the most prominent discourse-related terms and concepts inclu...
