Chang, Xin; Wang, Pei – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2016
To investigate the influence of L2 proficiency and syntactic similarity on English passive sentence processing, the present ERP study asked 40 late Chinese-English bilinguals (27 females and 13 males, mean age = 23.88) with high or intermediate L2 proficiency to read the sentences carefully and to indicate for each sentence whether or not it was…

Lee, Eunpyo; Kim, Eun-Kyung – Journal of Pan-Pacific Association of Applied Linguistics, 2013
This study examines 29 journal abstracts that were completed reviews for publication in the year 2012. It was done to investigate the number (percentage) of abstracts that involved with errors, the most erroneous part of the abstract, and the types and frequency of errors. Also the purpose expanded to compare the results with those of the previous…

Malaia, Evguenia; Wilbur, Ronnie B.; Weber-Fox, Christine – Brain and Language, 2009
Verbs contain multifaceted information about both the semantics of an action, and potential argument structures. Linguistic theory classifies verbs according to whether the denoted action has an inherent (telic) end-point ("fall," "awaken"), or whether it is considered homogenous, or atelic ("read," "worship"). The aim of our study was to examine…

Barcelona Sanchez, Antonio – 1990
An investigation of two sentence types in English and Spanish contrasts the syntactic features of each and examines the implications for second language instruction. Existential-presentative (ex-pr) and non-existential-presentative (pr) sentences are seen as an important tool for communication because they introduce an element that is…

McCretton, Elena; Rider, Nigel – IRAL, 1993
In a study of error hierarchy, 10 native-speaker teachers of English and 10 non-native-speaker teachers evaluated 25 sentences containing 7 types of errors. It was concluded that error hierarchies are not inherent and "universal" but reflect the evaluators' own educational training. (Contains seven references.) (Author/LB)

Lampach, Stanley – 1965
This contrastive grammar based on modern linguistic theory considers noun and verb phrases as the primary morphological and syntactical structure of language. A section on the noun phrase examines: (1) types of noun phrase constructions; (2) gender and number; (3) elements, expansion, and substitutes of the noun phrase. The material on the verb…

Hough, George A., III – 1971
An attempt to shed some light on one type of linguistic structure, that structure which is sometimes called a structure of modification, is presented. The study is based on a fairly limited, but statistically ample corpus of 1,200 sentences taken from four metropolitan daily newspapers for the two years 1894 and 1964. From various sources a…

Allan, K. – Journal of Linguistics, 1987
Hierarchies have been identified as determinants of constituent order. The set of such hierarchies is reviewed and ranked as determinants of NP sequencing in English. The effect of a hierarchy in other languages is compared to and contrasted with what is found in English. (Author/LMO)

Andersson, Erik; Ostman, Jan-Ola – 1978
The encoding of Swedish syntactic information in a study of linguistic data processing is described in detail. The choice of syntactic variables and classification criteria, illustrated with examples, is also discussed. In addition, uses of the coding for contrasting languages, as in this study's comparison of Swedish, Finnish, and English word…
