Tantucci, Vittorio; Wang, Aiqing – Applied Linguistics, 2022
In Dialogic syntax (cf. Du Bois 2014; Tantucci et al. 2018), naturalistic interaction is inherently grounded in resonance, viz. the catalytic activation of affinities across turns (Du Bois and Giora 2014). Resonance occurs dynamically when interlocutors creatively coconstruct utterances that are formally and phonetically similar to the utterance…

Liu, Hsiu Tan – Deafness & Education International, 2022
This study explores relationships between Taiwanese Sign Language (TSL) and Chinese reading comprehension with 65 deaf adults/youth (study 1: ages 14--50 years) and 27 deaf children (study 2: ages 6--13 years). Significant relationships were found between scores on two tests measuring TSL tasks. In study #1, the TSL tasks (measured by Taiwan Sign…

Girolamo, Teresa; Rice, Mabel L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Little is known about the specific nature of language abilities of autistic adolescents and young adults with language impairment (LI), limiting our knowledge of developmental trajectories and ability to develop efficacious speech/language supports. An important first step is establishing proof of concept of identification of LI in this…

Anna Giambattista Incognito – ProQuest LLC, 2022
This study examines associations between writing instruction with a focus on explicit sentence syntax and reading comprehension in a sample of students receiving special education services. While the outcome data does not show direct causation between student enrollment in a treatment writing course using Systemic Functional Linguistics and…

Ponari, Marta; Norbury, Courtenay Frazier; Vigliocco, Gabriella – Developmental Science, 2018
There is considerable lack of evidence concerning the linguistic and cognitive skills underpinning abstract vocabulary acquisition. The present study considers the role of emotional valence in providing an embodied learning experience in which to anchor abstract meanings. First, analyses of adult ratings of age-of-acquisition, concreteness and…

Kamide, Yuki; Kukona, Anuenue – Cognitive Science, 2018
We investigated the influence of globally ungrammatical local syntactic constraints on sentence comprehension, as well as the corresponding activation of global and local representations. In Experiment 1, participants viewed visual scenes with objects like a carousel and motorbike while hearing sentences with noun phrase (NP) or verb phrase (VP)…

Alzaid, Muhammad Swaileh A. – Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 2018
We identify and propose an analysis in LFG of Gapping construction in Taif "Hijazi" Arabic (TA). Gapping occurs in a coordination structure where the initial conjunct is syntactically complete and the non-initial conjunct is incomplete. To my knowledge, there is no previous description or analysis of gapping in TA. There have been two…

Maffongelli, Laura; Antognini, Katharina; Daum, Moritz M. – Developmental Science, 2018
Throughout life, actions and language are inherent to social interactions. A long-standing research question in cognitive neuroscience concerns the interrelation between verbal and non-verbal forms of social interactions, that is, language and action. Perceiving "how" actions are performed and "why" they are performed in a…

Altenberg, Evelyn P.; Roberts, Jenny A.; Scarborough, Hollis S. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2018
Purpose: The Index of Productive Syntax (IPSyn; Scarborough, 1990) is widely used to measure syntax production in young children. The goal of this article is to promote greater clarity and consistency in machine and hand scoring by presenting a revised version of the IPSyn (IPSyn-R) and comparing it with the original IPSyn (IPSyn-O). Method:…

Schaeffer, Jeannette; Durrleman, Stephanie; Eigsti, Inge-Marie – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2021
This Special Issue on linguistic and cognitive development in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) arose from the 42nd Boston University Conference on Language Development (BUCLD) (2017), when Jeannette Schaeffer, Stephanie Durrleman, and Inge-Marie Eigsti organized a symposium on this topic. It shows that the study of language development…

Age of Sign Language Acquisition Has Lifelong Effect on Syntactic Preferences in Sign Language Users
Krebs, Julia; Roehm, Dietmar; Wilbur, Ronnie B.; Malaia, Evie A. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2021
Acquisition of natural language has been shown to fundamentally impact both one's ability to use the first language and the ability to learn subsequent languages later in life. Sign languages offer a unique perspective on this issue because Deaf signers receive access to signed input at varying ages. The majority acquires sign language in (early)…

Dadgar, Hooshang; Bakhtiyari, Jalal; Khatoonabadi, Ahmad Reza – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
This study investigated the communication skills of children with autism spectrum disorders (H. M. Geurts & M. Embrechts), Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (Hilde M Geurts & Mariëtte Embrechts), and learning disability (H. M. Geurts & M. Embrechts) using the Children Communication Checklist to identify any commonalities in…

Bar-On, Amalia; Oron, Tal; Peleg, Orna – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
Effects of semantic versus syntactic constraints on resolution of Hebrew heterophonic-homographic words were examined at three reading skill levels. Fourth-and sixth-grade students and a group of adults read aloud sentences containing two types of heterophonic-homographs: noun-noun (e.g., BYCH [Hebrew characters] is read as beitsa 'egg' and bitsa…
