Coexpression and synexpression patterns across languages: comparative concepts and possible explanations [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2023 Meanings and linguistic shapes (or forms) do not always map onto each other in a unique way, and linguists have used all kinds of different terms for such situations: Ambiguity, polysemy, syncretism, lexicalization, semantic maps; portmanteau, cumulative

On the Locus of L2 Lexical Fuzziness: Insights From L1 Spoken Word Recognition and Novel Word Learning [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 The examination of how words are learned can offer valuable insights into the nature of lexical representations. For example, a common assessment of novel word learning is based on its ability to interfere with other words; given that words are known to ...

Ordinal analysis of lexical patterns
Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2023 Words are fundamental linguistic units that connect thoughts and things through meaning. However, words do not appear independently in a text sequence. The existence of syntactic rules induces correlations among neighboring words. Using an ordinal pattern approach, we present an analysis of lexical statistical connections for 11 major languages.

Path Under Construction: Challenges Beyond S-Framed Motion Event Construal in L2 German
Frontiers in Communication, 2022 The encoding of motion events is known to be challenging for second language (L2) users, particularly if the lexicalization patterns of their first language (L1) diverge from those of the L2. This paper analyzes oral and written motion event descriptions

Lexical patterns or dependency patterns [PDF]
Proceedings of the Thirteenth Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning - CoNLL '09, 2009 We compare two different types of extraction patterns for automatically deriving semantic information from text: lexical patterns, built from words and word class information, and dependency patterns with syntactic information obtained from a full parser.

Motion in Tswana and its characteristic lexicalization
Studies in African Linguistics, 1985 Characteristic patterns for the lexicalization of motion in Tswana, a Southeastern Bantu language, are explored. Examination of constraints governing classes of verb roots referring to motion events reveals two of the typological patterns put forward by ...

Talmy’s Dichotomous Typology and Japanese Lexicalization Patterns of Motion Events
Studies in Applied Linguistics & TESOL, 2011 Talmy‘s (1985) crosslinguistic typology of lexicalization patterns of motion events have been extensively used in second language acquisition (SLA) research as a means to examine how second language (L2) learners map form, meaning, and function.
