![]() ![]() The name "Archy" is a play on the Center's acronym, R-CHI. It is also an allusion to Don Marquis' archy and mehitabel poetry. #WORDS WITH THE SUFFIX ARCHY SOFTWARE#Jef Raskin jokingly stated: " Yes, we named our software after a bug." (a cockroach), further playing with the meaning of bugs in software. ![]() #WORDS WITH THE SUFFIX ARCHY FULL#The mother hugged it with a wild embrace, which included Archy Stillman, the grateful tears running down her face, and in a choked and broken voice she poured out a golden stream of that wealth of worshiping endearments which has its home in full richness nowhere but in the Irish heart.ĭontchuknow, Archy could 've learnt something if he'd had the nous to stand by and take notice of how that man works the system.Īt last, one day when off the Western Isles, they were boarded by a frigate, and the officer who came in the boat asked Archy what he was, and he replied he was an apprentice. Overall, we show how corpus techniques are invaluable in not only locating absence but in identifying types of absence, in quantifying it and even in assisting the researcher to evaluate the relevance of absences.Well, Archy remained there for about six months, and found that a man-of-war was not so bad a place after all. We demonstrate too how certain concepts arising from corpus linguistics, in particular evaluative (semantic) prosody and lexical priming, are extremely relevant to research into absence. This is followed by an examination of how corpus linguistics has been able to address each of these kinds of absences and indeed, on occasion, is shown to be the only means by which certain absences could be examined. ![]() We begin by examining what absence might mean in a linguistic sense and distinguish among different varieties of absences, for instance, ‘known absence’ compared with ‘unknown absence’, absence from a sizeable corpus, from a limited set of texts or from a position in a single text, relative absence and absolute absence, and absence defined as ‘hidden from open view’, that is, hidden meaning. This paper addresses the charge sometimes made against corpus linguistics that, although CL may be suited to saying things about what is to be found in a dataset it cannot deal with absences, that is, items not to be found therein. Keywords: Irony Collocation Evaluation Corpus linguistics Corpus-assisted discourse studies As Louw (1993) points out, before the advent of language corpora, detecting sufficient instances of such use, which can be quite rare, was problematic, and this may explain why so little previous attention has been given to these phenomena. Corpus methodology is used to locate ironic uses of phrase templates for examination. However, it was also noted that by no means all reversal of normal collocational patterning is performed with an ironic intent, and so yet a further research question is how the circumstances when phrasal irony is at play might differ from those of simple counter-instances to the statistically normal collocational patterns of use. During the course of these investigations it was observed that, occasionally, the ironic use of a particular phrase or phrase template is found to be repeated frequently and productively and can therefore be said to have become a recognised usage in its own right. A second, very closely related question is how, why and where writers use it, and a third question is how it relates to other more familiar types of irony. The first research question is how phrasal irony is structured. This paper is an examination of the as yet little-studied phenomenon of phrasal irony, defined as the reversal of customary collocational patterns of use of certain lexical items. ![]()
