“…has been answered by a majority of participants (N = 1779; n USA = 1039, n GER = 740). These definitions were not only used for corpus analysis (Altmeyer & Klein, 2016;Altmeyer, Klein, Keller, Silver, Hood, & Streib, 2015) but also were evaluated using content-analytic coding and factor analyses, in order to identify semantic dimensions of spirituality (Eisenmann et al, 2016).…”

“…In recent years using questionnaires as a method of data collection has considerably increased (1,4,12,13,14). The development of new technological facilities and up-to-date equipment in the Oil and Gas sphere makes it more important that future specialists should be aware of specialized terminology used in this field.…”

Questionnaires are the most commonly used instruments in collecting data. This method is also accessible for doing research investigations. Questionnaires can also be a key factor in searching for a reliable source to build a corpus for specific purposes. Thus, specialists’ aid is a prerequisite in searching for scientific articles, specialized books and web pages in the corpus compilation process. In order to realize this, required questions need to be prepared. In this procedure, studying practitioners’ needs was the pivotal factor in conducting a survey using questionnaire. Taking their prevalence into account, it can be supposed that questionnaires are easy to create, design and use. However, it should be mentioned that in order to obtain expected results, the formation and sketching questionnaires requires time and careful consideration. This article presents the process of designing questionnaires based on certain criteria, the analysis of each developed question, and the active words that are used in the Oil and Gas industry taken from the practitioners have been input into the sketchengine.eu tool, useful webpages have been found. In this way, the size of the corpus has been enlarged. A developed online questionnaire has been surveyed among 331 practitioners, collected data has been analyzed, and further recommendations have been suggested.

“…Irrational vocabulary was an object of lexicographic studies, aiming to characterise the semantics of verbs of irrational understanding (Iomdin, 1999); of cross-linguistic studies that intended to establish the metaphoric models of verbs of intellectual activity in closely and distantly related languages (Basyrov, 2013); of cross-cultural studies that explored the subjective understandings of some cultural concepts (Altmeyer, Klein, 2016). The subjects of the analyses were the semantic and syntactic properties of the irrational verbs' participants and their semantic roles (Experiencer, Content and Source); types of metaphors representing the concept of "understanding" (metaphors of movement, attainment of the truth, light, eyesight and blow); vocabulary expressing irrationality with reference to the concepts of "spirituality" and "religion".…”

Modelling Semantic Derivation: Semantic Shift Strategies of Irrational Vocabulary in English

The paper focuses on the semantic derivation models of irrational vocabularya semantic class of words that denote the situation of experience that is not based on logical reasoning or clear thinking. The study shows the characteristics of the development of an irrational vocabulary semantic paradigm and reveals semantic derivation models of irrational verbs and adjectives in the English language. It is posited that semantic derivation strategies are realised simultaneously with the changes of the situation and actants profiles. The change of a situation profile suggests the shift in the experiencer's vantage point, i.e. gnoseological (either perceptual or evaluative) position from which a situation is considered. The change of an actant profile provides for the shifts at the level of participants and their characteristics. The changes are thought to determine the types (models) of semantic shift strategies that underlie the development of the irrational words' semantic paradigms. The analysis of the semantic shift strategies of irrational verbs and adjectives in English shows that the concept of irrationality may extend to the boundaries of the internal (occurring within the hierarchy of the person's inner systems) and external (occurring within the hierarchy of the person's values) conceptual domains. The study concludes that irrational verbs and adjectives in English may apply to the following semantic shift strategies: role (reduced to the changes of the participant's type or structure), pragmatic (reduced to the changes of the participant's communicative rank), deictic (reduced to the changes of the participant's positional characteristics) and taxonomic (reduced to the changes of the participant's categorical class).
