Sublanguage Characteristics of Clinical Documents

Sungrim Moon, Huan He, Hongfang Liu · 2022 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM) · 2022

Understanding the common or different characteristics of sublanguages in clinical documents through corpus analysis is essential for downstream applications of clinical natural language processing (NLP). Here, we conducted a sublanguage analysis of a corpus consisting of 500,000 clinical documents concerning clinical sections. We analyzed sublanguage characteristics per practice setting or document type for the top ten most frequent clinical sections. The named entity (NE) for the problem, test, and treatment concepts was extracted using fine-tuned bio-clinical Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT). Fast-clustering using sentence-BERT was applied, and clustering results, a case study of terms containing “pain,” were visualized using SandDance. Our results confirmed that document types with a narrow scope (i.e., limited evaluation) presented high term frequencies in diverse disjoint clusters than document types with a broad scope (i.e., Discharge Summary). Family Medicine and Primary Care practice settings presented similar cluster distributions (i.e., the frequent use of similar co-occurring words with “pain”), implying the similar sublanguage. In contrast, Emergency Medicine showed a distinct sublanguage with high term frequencies in disjoint clusters than other practices. Those findings suggest that analyzing term distribution with respect to different combinations of the section, practicing setting, and document type provide important information when developing or implementing NLP systems.

“TERM” NOTION IN PROFESSIONAL SUBLANGUAGE

Irina Yur'evna Malkova · Philology Theory & Practice · 2019

The article examines the notion “term” as an object of linguistic description for a professional sublanguage. Actually, there is no unified interpretation of term-formation process, the notion “term” is defined ambiguously and approaches to its study differ. This makes the problem relevant when studying the terminology of a certain branch of science. The author describes the current state of the problem putting an emphasis on such issues as linguistic nature of this phenomenon, tendencies in term-formation process and criteria for interpreting the term as a notion in the terminological system of a certain research area.

Semantic shifts of sublanguage units

Оlga Nikolenkо, Yulia Drozdova, Larisa Lepihova · E3S Web of Conferences · 2020

The article considers slang as an ideological sign and a sublanguage unit capable of expanding its meaning due to semantic refraction, and also proposes a structural and semantic description of slangisms and proves the idea that they, as a means of metaphorizing a language, endow the utterance with additional meaningful veils, not only affecting its information filling and imagery, but also reflecting the author's individuality, contribute to its emotional and expressive enrichment while maintaining the basic conceptual center, albeit semantically blurred. Observation shows: the more perceptible the semantic bi-planarity of the sublanguage, the more informative the syntaxeme that includes it, respectively, during the functioning of slangism, expressive informativeness is embodied in semantic and emotional increments that affect both the rational-logical and expressive-figurative content of the context. However, regardless of the contextual conditions, the preponderance in the meaning of the described units is always on the side of the expressive-emotional components, accompanied by linguistic veils, focused on pragmatic impact, since it contains an internal suggestive force directed at the communicant. Speech influence in the indicated constructions is performed through the formation and transmission of the author's "I", which makes it possible for the "creator of the text" to reveal the nuances of the meanings of dependent elements and, through a variant change in their positions, expand the boundaries of the subtext. This makes the sublanguage a convenient verbal form of ideology expression, representing the worldview of a person, regulating his upbringing, forming habits, orienting social behavior and reflecting the volume of cultural memory.

TERMINOLOGY SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT IN MARITIME SUBLANGUAGE

Тetiana Korolova, Olha Aleksandrova, Svetlana Yukhimets et al. · Naukovy Visnyk of South Ukrainian National Pedagogical University named after K D Ushynsky Linguistic Sciences · 2023

The article examines the principles of maritime terms terminology formation, and provides their translation into Ukrainian. Under the conditions of the English-Ukrainian and Ukrainian-English dictionaries absence in the field of the maritime industry, the problem of scientific and technical literature translation, being a tool of intercultural communication, acquires special attention. Maritime terms correspond to the well-known classification of scientific and technical terms, among which general scientific, general technical and highly specialized terms are distinguished. The results of the experiment demonstrate that the term system (TC) of various marine-related industries belongs to the group of macro term systems; among them we can single out the following ones: singlecomponent terms, divided into simple or root terms, affixer ones and complex; multi-component terms with the number of components from 2 to 5 units; abbreviations of initial letters, syllables, acronyms, double abbreviations (that combine initial letters and abbreviations of the morphological and syntactic level). The considered means of forming terminological units help to understand the ways of their generation or transformation in maritime discourse and the principles of their combination. Translators and specialists in the field of marine topicality try to preserve the meaning of a foreign term in the translation language as accurately as possible. Some differences that appear in translation of English terms are presented by three main varieties: differences in the morphological and syntactic structure, differences in lexical structure, differences in lexical and grammatical structure of the terms.

A requirements sublanguage for automated analysis

Walling R. Cyre · International Journal of Intelligent Systems · 1995

The development of a restricted natural language for expressing requirements is described. the purpose of the language is to support readable specifications, which can be analyzed for errors and automatically interpreted. the specific language designed here is for specification of digital systems. Semantics are represented in a type of semantic network constructed of concepts and relations. the semantic basis, consisting of concept and relation types together with semantic patterns, is developed from an examination of several formal specification and design notations, together with a selection of natural language statements from product descriptions. the syntax of the language is developed from a syntactic analysis of natural language statements, and the productions of the grammar are selected to maximize coverage of syntactic structures used in the selection. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Text classification in fragmented sublanguage domains

R.P. Frail, Roy S. Freedman · 2002

The unique problems involved in developing text classification systems for texts that have low conceptual predictability are addressed. The authors present a shell called the FLUE (fragmented language understanding environment), which is capable of generating applications in fragmented sublanguage domains. The FLUE combines an expressive concept representation with a robust parsing technique called piecewise parsing. A common source of classification failure is unrecognized lexemes. The representation of concepts leverages differences in word class restrictions in order to learn unknown lexemes. The parser's parallel search for concepts also gives it a large measure of immunity to the conceptual unpredictabilities of fragmented texts. Yet, the technique can be scaled to accommodate more grammatical texts, something not usually possible for other systems. Although the authors demonstrate the technique on English language texts, it is applicable to texts in other languages.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

Sublanguage grammers in science information processing

Naomi Sager · Journal of the American Society for Information Science · 1975

Abstract This paper presents the results of an investigation into information structures in natural language science texts. A novel hypothesis was tested; namely, that the literature of a science subfield has characteristic restrictions on lanugage usage which can be used to develop information formats for text sentences in the subfield. The formats provide a standard representation of the specific types of information found in sentences of subfield articles, though a priori semantic categories are not used. The method of sublanguage grammars for obtaining information formats is described. Illustrations are drawn from a sublanguage grammar written for a subfield of pharmacology. Parts of the procedure are computerized or are being implemented.

Adapting a general parser to a sublanguage

Sophie Aubin, Adeline Nazarenko, Claire Nédellec · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2006

In this paper, we propose a method to adapt a general parser (Link Parser) to sublanguages, focusing on the parsing of texts in biology. Our main proposal is the use of terminology (identication and analysis of terms) in order to reduce the complexity of the text to be parsed. Several other strategies are explored and finally combined among which text normalization, lexicon and morpho-guessing module extensions and grammar rules adaptation. We compare the parsing results before and after these adaptations.
