[Corpora-List] Semantic Prosody questions?

[John Colby]

Yes, referring back to Irena's original post I see that she used the
term "semantic prosody" while the work I mentioned is about the
relationship between "semantics" and "prosody", or perhaps how
"prosody" can acts as semantic operators.  However, I defer to the
authors that I mentioned for a precise definition of "semantics and
prosody".

Thank you for pointing out this distinction, as the two terms mean very
different things.
