This approach, that is fuzzy set theory, gives each suffix a degree of membership from [0,1] to different productivity categories. To estimate morphological productivity of Persian suffixes, first Baayen’s proposed measures, i.e. realized productivity, expanding productivity and potential productivity were applied to Bijankhan corpus. Correspondingly, 2.6 million words in the corpus were investigated and analysed using MATLAB and Microsoft Excel software. In the next step, the results of the three productivity measures were illustrated on separate fuzzy diagrams. The findings showed that the three measures employed could give a broader view of different aspects of derivational suffix productivity in Persian. Using fuzzy set theory makes it possible for a given suffix to belong simultaneously to different categories with different degrees of membership. According to the statistics of this research, suffixes – i and – e in Persian had the highest degrees of membership among the most productive suffixes up to now. Likewise, they continue to contribute the most to the growth rate of the contemporary Persian lexicon.","PeriodicalId":45514,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quantitative Linguistics","volume":"29 1","pages":"387 - 411"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09296174.2021.1887575","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41351501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To that end, we developed a statistical workflow to illustrate the method and analyse large-scale Silesian questionnaire data. In our quantitative-linguistic study we demonstrate how heatmaps can uncover information about complex patterns of regional variation, thereby highlighting the added value of the method relative to standard statistical procedures. Specifically, we show (i) how differences in language use between two regions can be determined by deploying the heatmap method but not with traditional significance/hypothesis testing statistical procedures or summary statistics, (ii) and how differences in cohesion and tightness in clusters can be examined via heatmaps but not using cluster analysis. We conclude that heatmaps are a valuable tool for assessing why and how certain word-items group together because of the regional distribution of their usage. A major advantage of the heatmap method is that it can handle two dimensions with hundreds of instantiations and illustrate their interrelations, which would pose problems for traditional statistical techniques. Heatmaps provide a novel and accessible way of exploring large-scale sociolinguistic data in their entirety and of generating further hypotheses.","PeriodicalId":45514,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quantitative Linguistics","volume":"29 1","pages":"425 - 449"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09296174.2021.1898089","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43007009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They tell their experiences by answering a set of questions. Their responses are evaluated comprehensively with the expectation that various attributes of the participants are reflected by their everyday speaking language. We also investigate their language characteristics in terms of their vocabulary richness and word usage. The results show that the age and gender of the participants can be inferred to some extent from their speech, as is the case for written text. However, the difference is not significant in the language use of younger and older respondents in terms of vocabulary richness and archaic word usage. With additional data obtained for some participants, it is shown that text can be accurately identified as being either spoken or written; however, the spoken text of a person can only be differentiated from their written text with the accuracy level of a random guess.","PeriodicalId":45514,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quantitative Linguistics","volume":"29 1","pages":"283 - 313"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09296174.2021.1873574","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42600496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In its simplest form, sentiment analysis deals with the polarity of a given text, i.e., whether the opinion expressed in it is positive or negative. Sentiment analysis, or opinion mining applications on websites and the social media range from product reviews and brand reception to political issues and the stock market. The vast majority of the research in sentiment analysis has mostly dealt with English data, where there’s an abundance of readily available and annotated for sentiment corpora. With a few notable exceptions, the research in other minor languages such as Greek is lacking. This paper deals with sentiment analysis of electronic product reviews written in Greek. To this end, a small dataset of 480 positive and negative reviews is compiled and used, taken from the popular Greek e-commerce website, www.skroutz.gr. Different computational models for training and testing the dataset are evaluated, ranging from simple Naive Bayes with n-gram features to state-of-the-art BERT. The results look very promising for such a small corpus.","PeriodicalId":45514,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quantitative Linguistics","volume":"29 1","pages":"374 - 386"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09296174.2021.1885872","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43507187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
