Katherine Trice; Dionysia Saratsli; Anna Papafragou; Zhenghan Qi – Developmental Science, 2025
Children can acquire novel word meanings by using pragmatic cues. However, previous literature has frequently focused on in-the-moment word-to-meaning mappings, not delayed retention of novel vocabulary. Here, we examine how children use pragmatics as they learn and retain novel words. Thirty-three younger children (mean age: 5.0, range: 4.0-6.0,…

Chris J. Cookson – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2025
This paper details the methodology originally used for a cross-sector literature review of formative evaluation in Germany. The study involved an online keyword search using academic databases and Google Search to uncover documents containing and meaningfully discussing formative evaluation as well as alternative forms of this term in German that…

Niamh Devane; Sofia Mazzoleni; Nicholas Behn; Jane Marshall; Stephanie Wilson; Katerina Hilari – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2025
Background and Aims: The reliability and validity of an intervention can be improved by checking treatment fidelity (TF). TF methods identify core components of an intervention, check their presence (or absence) and identify threats to fidelity. The Virtual Elaborated Semantic Feature Analysis (VESFA) intervention comprised individual sessions of…

Yinuo Zhu; Mengmeng Cai; Pei Wang; Xin Chang – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
This study, employing unmasked priming lexical decision tasks, examines the possible effects of the phonogram properties on the representation of Chinese phonograms and their radicals. In Experiment 1, the representation of radicals (semantic radical and phonetic radical) and their host phonograms is compared under various phonograms types.…

Felipe Cárdenas-Támara; Johanna Choconta Bejarano – Critical Education, 2025
This study aimed to understand, from a critical point of view, the condition of semantic, discursive, and rhetorical displacement that operates in the Colombian educational system, where the category of education has been displaced by the concept of competence. The following question guides the investigation: What are the deep meanings, from…

Robert A. Peterson – Journal of Marketing Education, 2025
"What 'is' marketing?" Perusal of the marketing literature reveals that "marketing" has been defined and characterized in multiple, often inconsistent but typically ambiguous, ways that have evolved over time. The present essay argues that characterizing marketing as a transdisciplinary body of knowledge formally captures its…

Dustin S. Stoltz; Marshall A. Taylor; Jennifer S. K. Dudley – Sociological Methods & Research, 2025
Distances derived from word embeddings can measure a range of gradational relations--similarity, hierarchy, entailment, and stereotype--and can be used at the document- and author-level in ways that overcome some of the limitations of weighted dictionary methods. We provide a comprehensive introduction to using word embeddings for relation…

Juliana Ronderos; Anny Castilla-Earls; Arturo E. Hernandez; Lisa Fitton – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: This study investigated the dimensionality of language in bilingual children using measures of semantics and morphosyntax in English and Spanish. Method: Participants included 112 Spanish-English bilingual children ages 4-8 years from a wide range of language abilities and dominance profiles. Using measures of semantics and morphosyntax…

Tanja C. Roembke; Bob McMurray – Cognitive Science, 2025
Computational and animal models suggest that the unlearning or pruning of incorrect meanings matters for word learning. However, it is currently unclear how such pruning occurs during word learning and to what extent it depends on supervised and unsupervised learning. In two experiments (N[subscript 1] = 40; N[subscript 2] = 42), adult…

Axel Langner; Lea Sophie Hain; Nicole Graulich – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
Often, eye-tracking researchers define areas of interest (AOIs) to analyze eye-tracking data. Although AOIs can be defined with systematic methods, researchers in organic chemistry education eye-tracking research often define them manually, as the semantic composition of the stimulus must be considered. Still, defining appropriate AOIs during data…

Mary Alt; Heidi M. Mettler; Elissa S. Schiff; Nora Evans-Reitz; Rebecca Burton; Sarah R. Cretcher; Allison Staib – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if the Vocabulary Acquisition and Usage for Late Talkers (VAULT) intervention could be efficaciously applied to a new treatment target: words a child neither understood nor said. We also assessed whether the type of context variability used to encourage semantic learning (i.e., action or object)…

K. K. Sarekenova; G. S. Rainbekova; G. Sagidolda; G. Abdimaulen; L. Beisenbayeva; G. Bekenova – Eurasian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2025
Antonymy is a kind of lexical opposition formed by a relational pair of words that refer to a relationship from the opposite point of view. This study attempts to explore the problems of antonymy with respect to theoretical and practical lexicography. The data was collected from dictionaries, published works of scientists and lexicographers. The…

Helen Bromhead; Cliff Goddard – Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, 2025
This paper explores ways in which applied semantics (coming out of Natural Semantic Metalanguage approach) can inform effective communicative strategies for action on climate change. After framing discussion, it presents three case studies, which are intentionally disparate in nature: contrastive semantics of the expressions 'climate crisis',…

Ran Li; ShiMin Chen; Swathi Kiran – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Following the Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System (RTSS) framework, the current study investigated the active ingredients in the modified semantic feature analysis (mSFA) targeting either noun or verb retrieval in Mandarin-English bilingual adults with aphasia (BWA). Method: Twelve Mandarin-English BWA completed mSFA treatment…

Xiaona Xia; Wanxue Qi – Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2025
One challenging issue in improving the teaching and learning methods in MOOCs is to construct potential knowledge graphs from massive learning resources. Therefore, this study proposes knowledge graphs driving online learning behaviour prediction and multi-learning task recommendation in MOOCs. Based on the knowledge graphs supported by…
