{"title":"Detecting innovations in a parsed corpus of learner English","authors":"G. Schneider, Gaëtanelle Gilquin","doi":"10.1075/IJLCR.2.2.03SCH","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1075/IJLCR.2.2.03SCH","url":null,"abstract":"The concept of linguistic innovation in English has so far mainly been limited to the description of native and indigenized varieties (ESL). In foreign varieties of English (EFL), on the other hand, non-standard forms are typically considered as errors. Such a treatment, however, (i) fails to acknowledge those cases when foreign learners intend to be creative, as underlined by Rimmer (2008), and (ii) misses commonalities between ESL and EFL. Recent corpus-based studies have provided preliminary evidence that some non-standard forms are shared by indigenized and foreign varieties of English. Nesselhauf (2009) has brought to light similarities in the way of new prepositional verbs like comprise of or emphasise on, while Gilquin (2011) has drawn parallels between phrasal verbs in ESL and EFL (see also Gotz & Schilk 2011, Davydova 2012, Laporte 2012 and Deshors 2014, among others). Such commonalities challenge the idea of a clear dichotomy between innovations and errors, and encourage us to look for more similarities between ESL and EFL. We present a data-driven method to detect potential innovations in EFL on a large scale, test it on verb-preposition structures, and describe similarities and differences between ESL and EFL. Relying on the whole of the International Corpus of Learner English (ICLE), which has been parsed with the probabilistic dependency parser Pro3Gres (Schneider 2008), we have automatically extracted potential innovations, defined here as patterns of overuse in ICLE compared to a reference corpus, for which we use the British National Corpus (BNC). We measure overuse by means of various collocation measures such as O/E or T-score (e.g. Evert 2009). Our approach is related to Schneider & Zipp (2013), which allows us to conduct a detailed comparison with novel combinations of verbs and prepositions found in Schneider & Zipp (2013) for ESL, based on the International Corpus of English (ICE). We find both striking similarities (e.g. discuss about) and dissimilarities (e.g. accuse for, only distinctive for EFL). The quantitative study is followed by a qualitative step, in which we aim to explain origins of non-native-like combinations in EFL (e.g. viewed upon as, probably built by analogy with looked upon as) and try to find criteria to determine what could be identified as actual innovations. We discuss total frequency, recurrence limited to learners from the same L1, which could point to L1 transfer innovations, and recurrence across different L1s, which could point to psycholinguistically based innovations that are the result of, e.g., processing load or semantic explicitness.","PeriodicalId":440472,"journal":{"name":"Rethinking Linguistic Creativity in Non-native Englishes","volume":"163 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126063532","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}

Both varieties show a similar contact ecology (Chinese), but differ in their socio-institutional status in the Dynamic Model (Schneider 2003, 2007). By analyzing innovative verb-to-noun conversion in these two varieties, and comparing them to British English, this study shows that despite the obvious similarities in substratum, the usage frequency of conversion in both varieties differs considerably. These findings, similar to — most recently — Deshors (2014) and Gilquin (2015), call into question the established notion of ESL in general and the status of SgE and HKE as ESL varieties in particular. In order to accurately reflect contemporary language use, it is reasonable to conceptualize the notion of ESL as a continuum and to situate HKE and SgE at opposite ends.","PeriodicalId":440472,"journal":{"name":"Rethinking Linguistic Creativity in Non-native Englishes","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128890103","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}

A comparative corpus-study of lexical innovations in derivational morphology brings to light two general types of innovations: 1) interlingual, L1-based innovations, resulting from cross-linguistic influence, and 2) intralingual, L2-based innovations, resulting from various other processes. While the first type is virtually absent in ESL varieties, it is in the second type where similar types of innovations in EFL and ESL varieties can be observed. The paper argues that these innovations can be explained in terms of several underlying cognitive processes that serve to create and maximise morphological transparency and increase explicitness of form-meaning relations.","PeriodicalId":440472,"journal":{"name":"Rethinking Linguistic Creativity in Non-native Englishes","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128932177","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}

The comparison shows that such innovations do not differ from errors in a learner variety on a formal linguistic level and that they arguably result from the same processes as are present in foreign language acquisition, such as transfer or simplification. The paper therefore argues that innovations can only be identified reliably in retrospect, once they are more widely accepted in the speech community. It also points to the social factors that are crucial in shaping the use and probable fates of former innovations in Jersey English and suggests a typology of innovations according to their developments.","PeriodicalId":440472,"journal":{"name":"Rethinking Linguistic Creativity in Non-native Englishes","volume":"4 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116554343","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}
