Vogelzang, Margreet; Thiel, Christiane M.; Rosemann, Stephanie; Rieger, Jochem W.; Ruigendijk, Esther – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Adults with mild-to-moderate age-related hearing loss typically exhibit issues with speech understanding, but their processing of syntactically complex sentences is not well understood. We test the hypothesis that listeners with hearing loss' difficulties with comprehension and processing of syntactically complex sentences are due to the…

Foppolo, Francesca; Mazzaggio, Greta; Panzeri, Francesca; Surian, Luca – Journal of Child Language, 2021
Several studies investigated preschoolers' ability to compute scalar and ad-hoc implicatures, but only one compared children's performance with both kinds of implicature with the same task, a picture selection task. In Experiment 1 (N = 58, age: 4;2-6;0), we first show that the truth value judgment task, traditionally employed to investigate…

Burka, Nataliia – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2021
The paper presents the results of a complex study of ?onsonantal phonemes' syntagmatics, registered at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the word throughout the historical development of the English language. The analysis of frequencies of consonantal clusters' actualization allowed the author to characterize the regularities of their…

Ringstad, Tina; Kush, Dave – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2021
This article investigates how children acquire word order generalizations from ambiguous and infrequent input. We focus on verb placement in Norwegian relative and complement clauses. In two elicitation experiments we explore where children (age 3-7) place verbs in three embedded clauses types: one requiring a purely syntactic generalization and…

Wakabayashi, Shigenori – Second Language Research, 2021
This article proposes a novel account for the overuse of free morphemes and underuse of bound morphemes in English as a second language (L2) based on the framework of Distributed Morphology. It will be argued that an Economy Principle 'Do everything in Narrow Syntax (DENS)' operates in the L2 learner's computational system. Consequently,…

Vermeij, Bernadette A. M.; Wiefferink, Carin H.; Scholte, Ron H. J.; Knoors, Harry – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: There is empirical evidence that a developmental language disorder (DLD) in early childhood leads to behaviour problems. However, it is still not clear how changes in language proficiency in these children influence the presence of behaviour problems. Aims: The aim of this study is to examine if changes in language proficiency are…

Gao, Jianwu; Ma, Shuang – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2021
This study explored the interaction between learning conditions, linguistic complexity, and first language (L1) syntactic transfer in semiartificial grammar learning by conceptually replicating and extending Tagarelli et al. (2016). We changed the L1 background, elicited production data during debriefing, and added a binary mixed-effects logistic…

Truckenmiller, Adrea; Shen, Mei; Sweet, Lake E. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
The current study explores the contributions of written vocabulary and syntax to informational writing quality in Grades 5 through 8. Various aspects of language skills (receptive to written, oral register to academic register) have differing relationships with narrative and informational writing achievement across development. In this study, we…

Chou, Te-Lien; Tang, Kai-Yu; Tsai, Chin-Chung – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Programming learning has become an essential literacy for computer science (CS) and non-CS students in the digital age. Researchers have addressed that students' conceptions of learning influence their approaches to learning, and thus impact their learning outcomes. Therefore, we aimed to uncover students' conceptions of programming learning…

Foltz, Anouschka; Knopf, Karolin; Jonas, Kristina; Jaecks, Petra; Stenneken, Prisca – First Language, 2021
This study investigated whether we can find reliable comprehension-to-production syntactic priming effects in children aged 2;0 to 2;11 and how phonological working memory and sentence production skills relate to the syntactic priming process. A finding of reliable syntactic priming effects would provide strong evidence that children's syntactic…

Sukenik, Nufar; Morin, Eléonore; Friedmann, Naama; Prevost, Philippe; Tuller, Laurice – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2021
Background and aims: Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have been found to exhibit difficulties in "wh"-question production. It is unclear whether these difficulties are pragmatic or syntactic in nature. The current study used a question elicitation task to assess the production of subject and object "wh"-questions…

Goodwin, Amanda P.; Petscher, Yaacov; Reynolds, Dan – Grantee Submission, 2021
Purpose: This study explores the roles of morphological skills (Morphological Awareness, Morphological-Syntactic-Knowledge, Morphological-Semantic-Knowledge, and Morphological-Orthographic/Phonological-Knowledge), vocabulary (knowledge of definitions, relationships between words, and polysemous meanings), and syntax in contributing to adolescent…

Xiaxia Cao; Yao Zhao; Xiang Li – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Various studies have been conducted on applying intelligent recognition technology, especially speech recognition technology to improve English learning ability, mostly listening and speaking. However, few studies have touched on how image-to-text recognition technology can be used for writing. The present research was conducted to fill this gap…
