In short, converts examine how history, culture, and language are utilized to make sense of their new religious identity and to legitimize their religious choices. History is then examined, one that is rooted in pre-colonized Spain, and not in colonizing Spain; culture is transformed by adopting new practices and omitting others; and language is strategized to redefine the new religious identity , which is carried out through loanwords, code-switching, transferences and other linguistic strategies.\u0000 In short, this book represents the first transatlantic study of conversions to Islam among Spaniards and US latinos through the study of history, culture and language. \u0000","PeriodicalId":227612,"journal":{"name":"IVITRA Research in Linguistics and Literature","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121420710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Teresa Cabré’s articles on terminology published after 1999 in journals of diverse nature and scope, many of which are difficult to access; articles in languages other than English are here provided in English translation. As a whole, these articles aim to represent the author’s groundbreaking work on terminology, both from a theoretical as from a methodological and applied point of view. Part I includes texts on three fundamental aspects of terminology as a field of knowledge: Firstly, general articles on the rethinking of proposals made by other authors and on the bases for the formulation of the Communicative Theory of Terminology (CTT). Secondly, articles that deal with the rethinking of the framework of this subject, with emphasis on specialised languages and communication. And thirdly, on the object of study: the terminological unit. Part II includes articles on methodology, international standards, and teaching terminology, and texts that deal with the intersection of terminology with other fields: Documentation, Translation, Neology, and Language Policy.","PeriodicalId":227612,"journal":{"name":"IVITRA Research in Linguistics and Literature","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132456639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Entitled MERGE (Multi-word Expressions from the Recursive Grouping of Elements), it iteratively combines adjacent bigrams into progressively longer sequences based on lexical association strengths. We then provide empirical evidence for this approach via two case studies. First, we compare the performance of MERGE to that of another algorithm by examining the outputs of the approaches compared with manually annotated formulaic sequences from the spoken component of the British National Corpus. Second, we employ two child language corpora to examine whether MERGE can predict the formulas that the children learn based on caregiver input. Ultimately, we show that MERGE indeed performs well, offering a powerful approach for the extraction of formulas.","PeriodicalId":227612,"journal":{"name":"IVITRA Research in Linguistics and Literature","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126455149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the research community has focused on developing and evaluating original algorithms for the automatic discovery of phraseological units, little has been done to transform these sophisticated methods into usable software. In this chapter, we present a brief survey of the main approaches to computational phraseology available. Furthermore, we provide worked out examples of how to apply these methods using the mwetoolkit, a free software for the discovery and identification of multiword expressions. The usefulness of the automatically extracted units depends on various factors such as language, corpus size, target units, and available taggers and parsers. Nonetheless, the mwetoolkit allows fine-grained tuning so that this variability is taken into account, adapting the tool to the specificities of each lexicographic environmen","PeriodicalId":227612,"journal":{"name":"IVITRA Research in Linguistics and Literature","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125290884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
