Towards modular compilers for effects (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Day, L., & Hutton, G. (2012). Towards modular compilers for effects.

Compilers are traditionally factorised into a number of separate phases, such as parsing, type checking, code generation, etc. However, there is another potential factorisation that has received comparatively little attention: the treatment of separa...

The processing of formulaic language (2012)
Journal Article
Conklin, K., & Schmitt, N. (2012). The processing of formulaic language. Annual Review of Applied Linguistics, 32, https://doi.org/10.1017/S0267190512000074

It is generally accepted that we store representations of individual words in our mental lexicon. There is growing agreement that the lexicon also contains formulaic language (How are you? kick the bucket). In fact, there are compelling reasons to th...
