Declerck, Mathieu; Koch, Iring; Philipp, Andrea M. – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2012
Stimuli used in cued language switching studies typically consist of digits or pictures. However, the comparability between both stimulus types remains unclear. In the present study, we directly compared digit and picture naming in a German-English language switching experiment. Because digits represent a semantic group and contain many cognates,…

Butler, Brian C. – ProQuest LLC, 2012
The three structural possibilities marking a noun with an English article are "a," "the," and "Ø" (the absence of an article). Although these structural possibilities are simple, they encode a multitude of semantic and pragmatic functions, and it is these complex form-function interactions that this study explores and…

Aldersson, Russell R.; McEntee-Atalianis, Lisa J. – Sign Language Studies, 2008
This article reports on a comparison of lexical items in the vocabulary of Icelandic and Danish sign languages prompted by anecdotal reports of similarity and historical records detailing close contact between the two communities. Drawing on previous studies, including Bickford (2005), McKee and Kennedy (1998, 2000a, 2000b) and Parkhurst and…

Haslam, C.; Wills, A. J.; Haslam, S. A.; Kay, J.; Baron, R.; McNab, F. – Brain and Language, 2007
Recent neuropsychological evidence, supporting a strong version of Whorfian principles of linguistic relativity, has reinvigorated debate about the role of language in colour categorisation. This paper questions the methodology used in this research and uses a novel approach to examine the unique contribution of language to categorisation…

Joelson, John M.; Herrmann, Douglas J. – American Journal of Psychology, 1978
Properties of categories were investigated by analyzing 22 measures of the 56 categories used in the 1969 Battig and Montague norms. A factor analysis of the data indicated that categories in semantic memory possess at least four factors (category familiarity, category size, category-label printed frequency, semantic complexity) that may affect…

Griggs, Richard A.; Warner, Susan A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 1982
A series of experiments investigating the processing of artificial set inclusion relations supports the view that many college students have the appropriate schema for processing inclusion relations, although it has not been elicited in previous artificial set-inclusion studies. (Author/PN)

Gunkle, George – Educational Theatre Journal, 1971
Two major observations made when surveying the measurement research in theater are that there has been insufficient methodological sophistication and that there has been insufficient conceptual clarity. Offers suggestions for the development of a working taxonomy of theatrical models. (RB)

Callanan, Maureen A. – Developmental Psychology, 1989
Two studies tested three- and five-year-old children's ability to use multiple-referent and inclusion strategies to interpret new words. In both studies, children interpreted labels for single objects at the basic level. The multiple-referent and inclusion strategies led children to interpret novel words at the superordinate level.

Bierschenk, Bernhard; Bierschenk, Inger – 1985
The empirical study of knowledge representation is the focus of this paper, which observes that language as the cognitive instrument in the communication of phenomena must be capable of expressing relations of the observer-observation kind. The paper points out that this implies a coopeartive process at work in the production of a text, of which…

Berlin, Brent – 1969
Criticism has been directed at a growing body of literature broadly referred to as ethnoscience, ethnosemantics, folk science, ethnographic semantics, and cognitive anthropology. Criticisms concern methodological and analytic aspects of ethnoscientific procedure, and the directions of ethnosemantic research from a theoretical point of view. The…
