"abstract": "This study examines how different dimensions of corpus frequency data may affect the outcome of statistical modeling of lexical items. Our analysis mainly focuses on a recently constructed elderly speaker corpus that is used to reveal patterns of aging people's language use. A conversational corpus contributed by speakers in their 20s serves as complementary material. The target words examined are temporal expressions, which might reveal how the speech produced by the elderly is organized. We conduct divisive hierarchical clustering analyses based on two different dimensions of corporal data, namely raw frequency distribution and collocation-based vectors. When different dimensions of data were used as the input, results showed that the target terms were clustered in different ways. Analyses based on frequency distributions and collocational patterns are distinct from each other. Specifically, statistically-based collocational analysis generally produces more distinct clustering results that differentiate temporal terms more delicately than do the ones based on raw frequency.",

The second analysis was achieved through the dependency patterns of sentential particles (i.e. lah, hoNh, ah, oh, le, haNh, hioh, mah, as described by Li, 1999) , taking the temporal terms as input. There are two reasons for the inclusion of particle collocation. First, with regard to methodology, running more than one collocational test allows one to see whether collocational analyses with different approaches generate similar results.

"text": "There is a potential problem in using raw frequencies in studying collocates. Collocates with high frequencies might simply be high frequency words, rather than being \"exclusively close\" to the terms of interest. Thus, we bring forth collexeme analysis (Gries, Hampe, & Sch\u00f6nefeld, 2005; Gries, 2007) , a statistical method developed for finding \"true collocates,\" that is, collocates with strong collocational strength (coll.strength hereafter). The coll.strength of each word type and particle was calculated and used as input for clustering analysis. The output is shown in Figure 4 . To sum up, \u73fe\u5728 (now) and \u4ee5\u524d (before) seem to intertwine, concerning their occurrences in different subsets of the corpus. This may suggest that, when elderly speakers talk about the past, the present follows as a contrast in time regarding the same subject matter, and vice versa. Only the by-text analysis shows a difference between the terms for the present and those for the past, suggesting that there are some conversations featuring more present than the past, and vice versa. Collocational strength analysis is another approach revealing a difference between \u73fe\u5728 (now) and \u4ee5\u524d (before), showing that, although the two terms usually are used closely, they still attract different words with different strengths. It should be noted that association patterns with particles do not distinguish between the present and the past. A possible explanation for this is that such a difference in pragmatic and discourse meaning is too fine-grained to be shown with information based on quantitative data. In other words, it shows that a quantitative method with corpus data has its limitation, especially when the annotation only functions at the basic POS level. Such findings of the temporal terms may in turn suggest that modeling lexical items is not a simple matter of looking for any types of analyzable data input. In addition to surface frequencies, taking collocational patterns into account, especially those based on statistical analyses, seems to be a requirement to capture the nuances among lexical items.",

"text": "We performed similar analyses for the selected portion of the NTU conversational corpus, with a few modifications. First, the analysis based on the frequencies of temporal expressions in corpus subsets was only conducted with subset sizes of 10, 50, and 200 words, since the individual texts (conversations) in the NTU corpus are mostly not as long as those in our elderly speakers' corpus. For certain conversations, a 500-word window can cover almost all of the words in the text, making the analysis too similar to the by-text analysis we conducted. Second, the analyses of temporal expressions' raw collocation and collocational strength with particles were not conducted for the NTU corpus because the manual annotation on collocation between particles and temporal terms has not yet been completed. Figure 5 shows the results of clustering analysis based on raw frequencies of the temporal expressions in the NTU conversational corpus. Temporal scope seems to be the factor determining the clustering patterns. Expressions that have a less definite time frame, such as \u5f8c\uf92d (later) and \u4ee5\u524d (before), are grouped together, whereas expressions denoting a specific temporal scope, such as \u4eca\u5929 (today) and \u6628\u5929 (yesterday), are grouped under the same node. Figure 6 shows clustering results based on the target expressions' frequencies in the subsets of the data. The results are not clear-cut, lacking a consistent pattern across the outputs from different inputs. One of the more consistent patterns may be that \u73fe\u5728 (now) and \u5f8c\uf92d (later) are clustered together in two of the graphs above and are rather closely clustered in one of the two.

The expressions \u73fe\u5728 (now) and \u4eca \u5929 (today), both denoting the present within a smaller scope, are clustered together.

This indicates that different types of temporal expressions collocate with other words in the corpus in different manners. Yet, when the input data are collocational strength patterns, which should reveal these expressions' true collocates, the results of the clustering change. \u73fe\u5728 (now) and \u4eca\u5929 (today), two expressions about the present, stand out in two distinct clusters, while \u5f8c\uf92d (later) also stands out to a certain extent.

The \"clustering\" package for R offers a function \"cutree\" for a simple quantification of different clustering, where each \"tree\" is quantified in terms of which cluster an item is clustered to. We collect the data for all of the trees shown above and execute clustering as meta-analysis. The outcome for the elderly speaker corpus is shown in Figure 8 , and the one for the NTU conversational corpus is shown in Figure 9 . An interesting pattern shows up in Figure 8 . There are two major clusters. The left one is based on frequency patterns of temporal terms, and the right one basically contains analyses of how these terms collocate or associate with other words or particles. Despite the curious occurrence of the \"by-500-words\" analysis in the right major cluster, the result of this meta-analysis seems to be able to characterize the major differences in terms of data input. More specifically, in the left major cluster, the \"by-text\" analysis is the first one singled out. This conforms to our impression that temporal terms are clustered differently, with \u73fe\u5728 (now) and \u6700\u8fd1 (recently) placed relatively far away from other past-related expressions.

The only similar pattern is that the by-text analysis still stands out as a particular kind of clustering. Other clustering analyses are lumped together with no clearly emerging pattern. There are several possible reasons for such a result. First, one may argue that the relationship between clustering methods and their results does not hold a consistent pattern. On the other hand, it could mean that there are some differences in the use of the temporal items between these two corpora, hence, between speakers different in age. At this stage, the two corpora are not equal in size, so any claims about how elderly speakers' linguistic patterns actually differ from those of younger speakers' would appear to be unsound. To sum up, the evaluation method we propose here is a technique that can possibly reveal differences among methods of modeling or even differences between various corpora, as shown in our preliminary research results. For further development, similar investigations on better-controlled and comparable corpora must be conducted.",

"text": "Statistical modeling based on different types of data input displays different patterns, with modeling derived from frequencies and collocational patterns forming two major clusters (as revealed in the meta-analysis, which visualizes the difference between models based on quantitative data). In the \"frequency\" cluster, analysis based on distributional patterns is differentiated from the ones based on arbitrarily divided subsets. In the \"collocation\" cluster, statistically-oriented (i.e. collocational strength) analyses are distinguished from those based on surface collocational frequencies. For our present study, these findings are not overwhelmingly surprising because it is not hard to imagine the impact of the difference in texts and subsets on research, as well as the impact of surface frequencies and statistically-calculated relational patterns. Yet, when it comes to evaluating more types of modeling methods or inputs, meta-analysis of this kind provides a valuable means of choosing adequate methods. For instance, when researchers try to model different aspects of the lexical structure, the hierarchical modeling proposed here may help avoiding utilizing methods that are in fact very similar.",

The difference between these terms is disclosed only in models based on by-text frequency and statistical collocational analysis. The former shows that different speakers or conversation events may have their own preferred usage of temporal expressions. The latter indicates that these terms are still different in terms of their collocations, yet the difference can only be revealed through statistical tests on \"true collocates\" proposed by Gries (2007) . These findings can be seen as a pilot result of the linguistic patterns of aging people and young people in comparison.",

The inclusion of the analysis on a younger speaker corpus helps us become more cautious with the claims we can make about our statistical approaches. Yet, to further explore the issue and confirm the validity of potential general linguistic patterns discovered in the current research, we must carefully conduct qualitative analyses of each temporal expression and interpret the results with the evidence from the quantitative methods we adopted previously. For example, the expansion of the size of the elderly speaker corpus does may alter the outcome of our statistical modeling.",

In the future, it might be advisable to collect speech materials from a small number of younger speakers by asking them to narrate personal experiences and stories just like what we asked the elderly speakers to do. By doing so, we can directly compare this small corpus contributed by younger speakers with our elderly corpus, to see whether we can prompt even similar high-frequency temporal expressions for comparing two corpora of two generations of speakers.",
