Direct linkGor, Kira; Cook, Svetlana V. – Second Language Research, 2020
A phonological priming experiment reports inhibition for Russian prime-target pairs with onset overlap in native speakers. When preceded by the phonological prime /[image omitted]/, the target /kabak/ ("[image omitted]" -- "[image omitted]," "mare" -- PUB) takes longer to respond than the same target preceded by a…

Ashkenazi, Orit; Gillis, Steven; Ravid, Dorit – Journal of Child Language, 2020
This study examined early Hebrew verb acquisition, highlighting CDS-CS relations across inflectional and derivational verb learning. It was carried out on a corpus of longitudinal dense dyadic interactions of two Hebrew-speaking toddlers aged 1;8-2;2 and their parents. Findings revealed correlated patterns within and between CDS and CS corpora in…

Open-ended comprehension questions are a common type of assessment used to evaluate how well students understand one of multiple documents. Our aim is to use natural language processing (NLP) to infer the level and type of inferencing within readers' answers to comprehension questions using linguistic and semantic features within their responses.…

David Allen – Vocabulary Learning and Instruction, 2020
Japanese loanwords are mainly derived from English. These loanwords provide a considerable first-language (L1) resource that may assist in second-language (L2) vocabulary learning and instruction. However, given the huge number of loanwords, it is often difficult to determine whether an English word has a loanword equivalent and whether the…

Oktavianti, Ikmi Nur – Indonesian Journal of English Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics, 2019
Modals are linguistic units that seem to be ubiquitous in nearly all genres and text categories. However, there are some tendencies in which some modals are more likely to occur in a particular text category than the others. It is said that modals are less frequent in academic texts compared to fiction and news. This paper then aims at describing…

Yoo, Hak Soo; Kulkova, Raisa Alexandrovna; Lee, Andrea Rakushin – Journal of Pan-Pacific Association of Applied Linguistics, 2019
This corpus-based contrastive analysis examines the Russian classifying nouns, "tip" (type) and "vid" (kind) as well as the Korean classifying noun "yu-hyeong" and "jong-nyu." In the Russian language, the use of the words "tip" and "vid" depends on characteristics and the general contents…

Differences in Sentence Complexity in the Text of Children's Picture Books and Child-Directed Speech
Montag, Jessica L. – First Language, 2019
Reading picture books to pre-literate children is associated with improved language outcomes, but the causal pathways of this relationship are not well understood. The present analyses focus on several syntactic differences between the text of children's picture books and typical child-directed speech, with the aim of understanding ways in which…

Jeaco, Stephen – International Journal of Computer-Assisted Language Learning and Teaching, 2019
One of the greatest impacts of corpus linguistics on language teaching has been in the recognition of the importance of collocation. A very influential guide for language teachers with regard to teaching collocation has been the Lexical Approach. Activities pointing students to rich collocational information in monolingual dictionaries, in texts…

McQuillan, Jeff – Reading Matrix: An International Online Journal, 2019
Some researchers have argued that low-achieving students may never acquire sufficient levels of academic vocabulary to be successful in school without some form of explicit vocabulary instruction (e.g. Snow, Lawrence, & White, 2009). In this paper, I summarize the available data on the efficiency, in words learned per minute of instruction, of…

Chen, Guanliang; Ferreira, Rafael; Lang, David; Gasevic, Dragan – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
For the development of successful human-agent dialogue-based tutoring systems, it is essential to understand what makes a human-human tutorial dialogue successful. While there has been much research on dialogue-based intelligent tutoring systems, there have been comparatively fewer studies on analyzing large-scale datasets of human-human online…

This article offers a longitudinal computational-rhetorical analysis of biomedical writing on opioids. Using a corpus of 1,467 articles and essays published in the "New England Journal of Medicine" and the "Journal of the American Medical Association" between 1959 and May 2019, this study evaluates diachronic shifts in (a) the…

Nelson, Timothy S.; Albakry, Mohammed – Journal of College Reading and Learning, 2021
The availability of corpora has greatly strengthened the possibilities of identifying high-frequency lexical items in a more systematic and objective manner than has typically been used for vocabulary instruction. This article adopts a corpus-based approach to accommodate the vocabulary instructional needs of students enrolled in university…

Davis, E. Emory; Landau, Barbara – Language Learning and Development, 2021
Perception verbs and mental verbs have significant overlap in their syntax and semantics; both reference mental representations when taking embedded clauses, as in "I see that Maria was here" and "I think that Maria was here." Some have suggested that perception is more accessible for young children than mental states, raising…

Astronomy is considered by many to be a gateway science owing to its ability to inspire curiosity in everyone irrespective of age, culture, or general inclination towards science. Currently, where there is a global push to get more students engaged in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, astronomy provides an invaluable conduit to…

Chan, Hang – Pedagogies: An International Journal, 2021
The current study considers the notion that English textbooks produced for different markets are likely to manifest different pedagogical emphases. The study begins the research context by contemplating possible similarities and differences between English textbooks produced in two neighbouring markets, Hong Kong (HK) and the People's Republic of…
