Dissertation Title: Los sintagmas nominales extensos especializados en inglés y en español: descripción y clasificación en un corpus de genoma
In this doctoral thesis, long specialized noun phrases of more than three tokens are described and classified in English and Spanish specialized genome corpora in expert-to-expert communication.
In short, the phenomena analyzed in this thesis can be basically summarized as: a) the study of the complex premodification of noun phrases in English; b) the study of the postmodification in Spanish; c) the analysis of the correlation between the semantic structures and lexical categories; d) the semantic trends of noun phrases in regard to classes and patterns; e) the behavior of long noun phrases in specialized dictionaries and reference corpora; f) and finally, the translation trends of this kind of noun phrases in a parallel corpus.
The behavior and the regularities found in this study would allow professionals of the English and Spanish languages to have a tool to suitably solve noun phrases with long premodification.
