“…The term 'caress' was first discussed in Goded Rambaud and Jimenez Briones (2002). Later on, this term, as in Robert Parker (2007) The Wine Advocate, was extracted as follows: The verb 'caress' had been previously explored by Goded Rambaud and Jiménez (2002: 323) to identify how the then called lexical templates could integrate Mairal's Functional Lexematic Model (2002: 39) and Van Valin's Role and Reference Grammar.…”

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.

This book and its companion volume present a detailed guide to three major structural-functional theories: Functional Grammar, Role and Reference Grammar and Systemic Functional Grammar. This first volume provides the necessary background through a discussion of the characteristics of functional theories, followed by a brief analysis of six approaches to language in the light of this discussion. These chapters lead to a characterization of a smaller set of ‘structural-functional grammars’, among which FG, RRG and SFG are central. An overview of each of these theories in relation to the simplex clause is then presented, followed by a more critical comparison. The remainder of the book deals with the structure and meaning of phrasal units, the representation of situations, and the treatment of tense, aspect, modality and polarity, across the three theories. A major feature of the book is the use of examples from corpora of English and other languages, which serve not only to exemplify theoretical and descriptive claims, but also at times to challenge them.
