paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines218 - : The aim of this article is to explore the metadiscoursive and cognitive-semantic dimension of modality modifers introduced by ‘como’ in a corpus of twenty research articles from several disciplines. The analysis is based on the following assumptions: 1 ) the modality modifer expresses a type of perspective of conceptualization from which the propositional content is construed; 2) within the framework of each perspective, the modality modifer has several metadiscoursive functions; and 3) in the “environment” of the modifer or sentential nucleus several communicative acts take place. The results of the analysis reveal the presence of three classes of perspectives of conceptualization: visual, communicative and cognitive, which are distinguished by the semantic content of the modifer and, particularly, by the semantic value of the verbs used. In the framework of each one of these perspectives several metadicoursive functions were identifed. These can be classifed into two main categories:

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines380 - : connotations they have, and therefore the assumptions which they embody” (Stubbs, 1996 citado por Baker, 2006: 96 ). Después de una primera codificación, que arrojó un alto índice de variaciones, se realizó un segundo análisis cruzado del que resultaron ocho grupos semánticos:

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines400 - : All in all, Castel’s (2012) network approach constitutes an important contribution to the functional-cognitive treatment of meaning-form mappings, in general, and the Spanish clitic and verb-ending systems, in particular. However, this innovative approach presents at least four descriptive assumptions which can be improved in the quest for cognitive plausibility, namely: (i ) unidirectionality, (ii) node uniformity, (iii) syntactic slot-filling, and (iv) representational redundancy. These limitations may be overcome by adopting a conspicuous connectionist model. This paper builds upon Castel’s approach to provide a more explicit characterization of the functional- cognitive structure underlying both systems, from the perspective of Relational Network Theory (RNT) (Lamb, 1966, 1999; García & Gil, 2011a).

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines400 - : The previous diagram shows the connections between some linguistic subsystems (e.g., Phonological Production, Phonological Recognition, Lexis), other cognitive subsystems (e.g., Auditory Perception and several visual systems), and even the sensory organs functioning as interfaces with the extra-mental world (e.g., ears and eyes). While an extended discussion of Figure 3 is beyond the scope of this paper, it is relevant to highlight two of its assumptions: (i ) the semantic system (Object Categories, Abstract Categories) is bidirectionally connected to the lexical and grammatical components, and (ii) the lexical system (Lexis) is bidirectionally connected to the components of the grammatical system.

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines400 - : “Indeed, it is probably time for linguists to reconsider our traditional assumptions about what makes a model ‘elegant’ […] [I]t may be that we should not condemn as ‘inelegant’ or ‘uneconomical’ rules that the conscious human mind finds somewhat difficult to implement, but which can be performed by a computer in a moment –and also, some might wish to add, whose analogues in human brain can similarly be performed in a trice and, moreover, without requiring conscious attention” (Fawcett, 2003: 13 ).

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines453 - : It is not difficult to see why this construction can easily perform such a meaning override. If we think of the contexts in which “do I look like” could be reasonably used, the following two elements immediately arise: i) the speaker realizes that the hearer has made an erroneous assumption about his physical appearance and/or attitude (as revealed by bodily posture, facial expression, etc.); ii) because of (i), the speaker realizes that the hearer is not acting in the way the speaker would feel comfortable with. Within this context, the speaker decides on using a communicative strategy that can repair the problems in the hearer’s assumptions and associated behavior: iii ) the speaker calls the hearer’s attention to the true nature of the former’s physical appearance and/or attitude (as revealed by bodily posture, facial expression, etc.); iv) in doing (iii) the speaker expects the hearer to change the latter’s erroneous assumption in (i) and his associated behavior in (ii). There are

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines453 - : This section concentrates on offers in English. Such an illocutionary category (i.e. ‘offering’)is based on the social convention whereby we are expected to act in ways that are beneficial to other people. This social convention underlies what ^[108]Leech (1983) called the cost-benefit pragmatic scale within his theory of politeness: polite acts are those in which we maximize benefit and minimize cost to others. But the social convention is more complex. An accurate (and technical) formulation is provided in ^[109]Ruiz de Mendoza and Baicchi (2007) under the label of Cost-Benefit Cognitive Model. Here, for the sake of simplicity, we sketch out, in a non-technical way, some of its central assumptions:(i ) if we identify a state of affairs that is not beneficial to other people, we should alter it in such a way that it becomes beneficial to them; (ii) if we are aware of a state of affairs that could be of benefit to others, we should do our best to bring it about, but (iii) if we suspect that

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines602 - : To compare these two distributions we treated them as independent, as the students were completely different, and planned to carry out an independent t-test to compare the two means. The assumptions needed for calculating a t-test are that: the dependent variable (the percentage grades with equal intervals between each grade point ) should be measured in interval-level measurements, the data should be independent, normally distributed and groups should have equal variances. If this latter assumption is not met, it would be necessary to use either the Welch procedure or robust methods and should the distribution not be normal then robust procedures with means trimming or bootstrapping would need to be employed.
