Kitao, S. Kathleen; Kitao, Kenji – Research-publishing.net, 2013
Data-driven learning (DDL) is an inductive approach to language learning in which students study examples of authentic language and use them to find patterns of language use. This inductive approach to learning has the advantages of being learner-centered, encouraging hypothesis testing and learner autonomy, and helping develop learning skills.…

Croce, Keri-Anne – Journal of Early Childhood Literacy, 2014
This two and a half year study examines how non-native English-speaking Burmese refugee students from first to third grades made meaning of scientific informational texts.

Enkvist, Nils Erik – 1982
Impromptu speech can be defined in different ways: in terms of situational context, linguistic characteristics, and real-time processing. These approaches are not contradictory. There are certain situations that call for rapid processing of spoken discourse, and the needs of that processing are reflected in the structure of the text. The degree of…

Dabbs, James M., Jr. – 1982
Fourier analysis, a common technique in engineering, breaks down a complex wave form into its simple sine wave components. Communication researchers have recently suggested that this technique may provide an index of the rhythm of conversation, since vocalizing and pausing produce a complex wave form pattern of alternation between two speakers. To…

Greenbaum, Sidney – 1976
The author of this paper argues that, in the study of current usage, we need to supplement data from corpus studies by using methods that elicit use, reports of use, and evaluations of use on items which interest them. Ten methods for experimental elicitation of such data are described, related to one another, and illustrated with examples of data…

Goldin-Meadow, Susan – 1977
Longitudinal observations of six congenitally deaf children (1-4 years old) with hearing parents were performed to determine the structure of semantic relation representation. Ss' semantic relation phrases were analyzed in terms of case relations. Cases were found to be distinguishable from each other in terms of production probability. Two…

Green, Georgia M. – 1995
A variety of techniques for collecting and analyzing information about the natural use of natural languages is surveyed, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the properties of a research task that make a given technique more or less suitable to it rather than comparing techniques globally and ranking them absolutely. An initial goal is to…

Eadie, William F. – 1985
Rhetorical force can be used to analyze interaction in organizational communication. In such an analysis, force is conceived of as being perceptual, arising out of interaction, aiding in understanding communication patterns, and increasing one's abilities both to anticipate actions and to plan or constrain one's actions. Rhetoric is a product of…

Mosenthal, Peter – 1977
The assumption that "ideal" text grammars are valid descriptions of the schemata used by children to organize their recall of text was challenged in a study involving 150 elementary school children. The children, all with above-average reading ability, were classified as having one of three types of schemata: theme-initial (identifying…

Planalp, Sally; And Others – Communication Monographs, 1987
Investigates (in two phases) how coherence is cued between turns in conversations. Indicates that (1) turns were consistently paired well beyond chance, suggesting that explicit cues to connections between turns in conversations do exist; and (2) only lexical devices were found significantly more often in coherent than incoherent pairs.

Lin, Grace Hui Chin; Su, Simon Chun Feng; Ho, Max Ming Hsuang – Online Submission, 2009
Pragmatics is included in one of four communicative competences (Canale, 1980). It is necessary and important to teach pragmatics at school in our globalized world in order to avoid as much as misunderstanding, which is likely to stem from cultural difference. As a result, greater importance should be attached to diverse customs and pragmatics.…

Mayala, Nsebeng-Kimanese – 1990
In research on second language instruction, the researcher's knowledge of the learner's background has not always been central in data collection. However, data collection is part of a research design that should include both a description of the sample population and the role of the learner in the decision to carry out a given study.…
