“…In a complementarity, systemic functional linguistics (SFL) is a theory and model of language as a social semiotic system. SFL as theory allows us to account for how language enables us to communicate with each other and with our surrounding in the manner that we do [36]. In that sense, language is its own meta-language, because the language system can be used to study language typology, as well as subjects of other disciplines i.e.…”

This study applies systemic functional linguistics (SFL) as complementary framework of analysis of technology acceptance models (TAMs). The purpose is to bridge research methodology language in international business (IB) studies and engineering management science. Currently TAMs and its consolidated version, the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) provides for a typology of one user in one context scenario. The need for the UTAUT model to account for multiple users in multiple work contexts in a single framework of analysis was foregrounded in the study of the workflow processes of a remote services business model of a European founded multinational business enterprise (MBE) with regards to its (i) intra-firm improvements in managing remote services cases, and its (ii) extra-firm selling of life cycle management remote services contracts. The Enterprise has global operations in over 100 countries, of which this study focused on its European operations of improving the quality of remote services for the marine industry. Through an application of SFL unto UTAUT, this study illustrates how multiple users in multiple contexts can be analysed simultaneously, and whose behaviours can be accounted for in a single framework of analysis. The combined SFL UTAUT model addresses the initial statisticity of the UTAUT model, whilst at the same time, expands upon current theoretical perspectives of technology use and acceptance that can be applied in practice.

“…In Butler (2012) it is suggested that a combination of ideas from different approaches could be much more powerful than any of the models he thoroughly compares taken by itself. Saeed (2016: 354) claims that the two main trends in theoretical linguistics include the formal Chomskyan group of theories and a cluster of functional theories where cognitivism can be more naturally integrated.…”

The codification of ontological and contextual information for precomputational treatment in grammars and ontologies

One problem at the linguistic preprocessing stage has to do with the concepts included in existing linguistic models. Part of the problem of codifying ontological and contextual information focuses on the lack of differentiation between communication and cognition that some linguistic models present. Besides, there are some described linguistic concepts that are lightly marked and which lack enough empirical textual, lexical or grammatical evidence that support them. Because a unified linguist model able to account for ontological and contextual information is not yet available, a simpler mechanism capturing linguistic, ontological and contextual information can be simpler at a preprocessing stage. Instead of using whole linguistic models, it is explained here how an algorithm describing the components that make up linguistic codification can be used to facilitate precomputational codification. This algorithm is based on the structural similarity of the grammar of a language, the ontology supporting it and the proper descriptive algorithm. Finally, the use of this algorithm illustrates how to extract this information from a corpus.

“…The approach to this question taken by Butler (2012) is grounded in ontology in the sense of a hierarchically structured classification of concepts as well as a Conceptual Representation Language (COREL), both strongly influenced by FunGramKB work in computational linguistics (Periñán-Pascual and Mairal Usón 2010). FunGramKB is, as Butler stresses (2012: 625-626), a rich resource, for example including information on typical collocations and containing information that can be mapped onto Representational Level analyses.…”

“…Little attention has been paid so far to the place of the lexicon in Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG, Hengeveld and Mackenzie 2008), notable exceptions being García Velasco (2007Velasco ( , 2009, Honselaar and Keizer (2009), and Butler (2012). The current special issue changes this situation, bringing together a series of contributions that all in different ways explore the question how lexical information can be represented in FDG.…”

The complex [Cu(en) 2 (H 2 O)](sy) 2 (en)(H 2 O) 2 has been synthesized and characterized by its electronic and vibrational spectra. The molecular structure of the complex has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with unit-cell parameters a = 10.7236 (5), b = 20.4660(10), c = 14.4523(11)Å and Z = 4. In the cation, the Cu(II) ion has a distorted square pyramidal coordination with two bidendate (en) ligands forming the basal plane and a H 2 O molecule in the apical position. The complex cations and syringate anions constitute chains along the b axis in -A-B-A-fashion. The members of the chains are linked by through N-H···O hydrogen bonds. The (en) molecules are responsible for connecting adjacent layers.
