Wang, Yan; Bai, Yongquan – System: An International Journal of Educational Technology and Applied Linguistics, 2007
English titles of medical research articles (RAs) are of great importance, the quality of which can, to a certain degree, affect impact factors of the articles, because many readers will make a decision as to whether to read on after reading titles. However, the special genre has not been extensively studied to date. This paper is designed to…

Leubecker-Warren, Amye; Bohannon, John Neil, III – Child Development, 1984
A total of 16 mothers and 16 fathers were recorded in dyadic sessions with their children (eight five year olds, eight two year olds; half boys, half girls) and with an adult. Noise-free questions and declaratives were analyzed for pitch and frequency range. Results suggest that both fundamental frequency and range are significantly influenced by…

Rodda, M.; Beattie, R. G.; Seabrook, J.; Gough, K. – CAEDHH Journal/La Revue ACESM, 1997
This study compared pragmatic language behaviors of three hard of hearing, four deaf, and five hearing adolescents. The average percentage of parameters rated appropriate were: 100% for hearing; 87% for the hard of hearing; and 93% for the deaf. Subjects' language was also compared to typical adolescents' pragmatic characteristics and coping…

Wilkinson, Krista M. – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1999
This study compared the relative use by four male and four female youth with mental retardation of linguistic (grammatical) devices identified as characteristic of typical female speech (qualifying markers, question styles, and politeness terms). Females produced significantly more qualifying markers than did males, although neither question style…

Stanback, Margaret L. – Annals of Dyslexia, 1992
This analysis of 17,602 frequently used words found that 616 orthographic rimes occurred in rime families as building blocks of almost all the 43,041 word syllables. Of these, 436 were both regular and consistent in pronunciation, and only 86 had less than a 90 percent level of consistency. Results suggest the usefulness of rime units for teaching…

Snow, David P.; Kiernan, Barbara J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1999
This study, with 30 preschool children with specific language impairment (SLI) and 30 controls, found a dissociation between limited learning of training targets (words, affixed forms) and limited bound-morpheme generalization (BMG) performance. Results suggest limited BMG reflects problems not with storage or access of facts but with the…

Taylor, Marjorie; Gelman, Susan A. – Child Development, 1988
Two strategies that children use to figure out new word meanings--attention to linguistic form class and the assumption of lexical contrast--were examined. It was found that very young children use both form class and lexical contrast to interpret new words. (PCB)

Sudhalter, Vicki; And Others – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1990
The study compared the deviant, repetitive language of 33 males (9 with Down syndrome, 12 with fragile X syndrome, and 12 with autism). Results indicated that males with fragile X syndrome manifest deviant, repetitive language that is distinct from males with either Down syndrome or autism. (DB)

Measures fathers' and mothers' linguistic involvement in the development of communication between young siblings--infants and toddlers. In a laboratory setting, 39 families, each with a mother, a father and two children, were videotaped in semistructured activities. Results suggest that fathers very actively direct sibling interactions, especially…

Gillund, Gary; Perlmutter, Marion – 1984
Although research in episodic recall memory, comparing younger and older adults, favors the younger adults, findings in semantic memory research are less consistent. To examine age differences in semantic and episodic memory recall, 72 young adults (mean age, 20.8) and 72 older adults (mean age 71) completed three memory tests under varied…

Wetherby, Amy M.; And Others – Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, 1989
The study identified communicative patterns of preschool children (N=11) with handicaps (Down's Syndrome, specific language impairments, and autism). Down's Syndrome children were like normal children of the same language stage on all parameters whereas autistic children scored outside the normal range on all but one parameter. (Author/DB)

Uphoff, Jane W.; and Others – 1983
Although role or perspective taking has been considered important for the development of mature social thought and behavior, and training for perspective taking has been used to remediate deficient behavior, few studies with either normal or disturbed populations have examined naturally occurring behaviors expected to correlate with…
