“…e following statistics are commonly used in English text bases: the number of tokens, number of the types, type/ token ratio, word length, average word length, and so on [22]. In this paper, WordSmith 5.0 was used to obtain statistics on the common parameters of the self-built TCM English corpus and then rank the verb morphology of the corpus in descending order of frequency [23].…”

The aim of this paper is to explore the characteristics of the use of verbal collocations in English, to compare the use of verbal collocations in the English translation and the original English text, and then to compare and analyse the characteristics of the choice of verbal collocations in the English text. In this paper, we take bilateral marked causative complex sentences as the object of study and use deep learning methods to automatically explore the implied features of complex sentences while incorporating the significant knowledge of relational words in linguistic research. The experimental results achieved an F1 value of 92.13%, which is better than that of the existing comparison models, demonstrating the effectiveness of the method.

This chapter is concerned with verb collocations in the specialized language of science. I pay attention to their semanticity, since my main objective is to discover the topics evoked in terms of their integrating elements. The methodology applied is as follows: first, I compile a specialized corpus of research articles; second, I automatically extract a list of collocation candidates, which is manually revised; third, the selected collocations are semantically classified. As this work is motivated by a previous study on noun collocations, I perform a comparative analysis. The findings are that noun and verb collocations share similar semantic frames, although the method employed in each study yields different, but complementary, results.

This paper investigates the collocations produced by a set of fictive motion verbs found in a specialized corpus representing the language of adventure tourism. Since our ultimate aim is to contribute to the characterization of this specialized language, we defined two specific objectives: (1) to analyze the motion verbs and their meanings extracted from the Advencor corpus, and (2) to identify the collocates of these verbs as well as the semantic roles they express. After the application of our methodology, eight motion verbs produced 35 collocations satisfying all the established criteria. The results focus on different aspects: (1) the verbs convey distinct meanings, such as motion on a vertical axis or direction towards a destination; (2) the most recurrent combination is noun + verb, where the former describes the inanimate entity that seems to perform motion; (3) collocation production and collocation strength are not correlated; and (4) the collocates accompanying the verbs under analysis shed light on the argument structure of these verbs, for they represent one of the participants. In conclusion, this work provides relevant information about the phraseology of fictive motion verbs in the language of adventure tourism and proves the specialization of this domain.
