Usler, Evan R.; Walsh, Bridget – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: Early childhood stuttering is associated with atypical speech motor development. Compared with children who do not stutter (CWNS), the speech motor systems of school-age children who stutter (CWS) may also be particularly susceptible to breakdown under increased processing demands. The effects of increased syntactic complexity and…

Lestari, Nurdiyah; Yusuf, St. Muthmainnah; Basri, K. Ivo; Suciati, S.; Masykuri, Mohammad – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2020
Learning resources and learning models are the two main components that determine learning success. Of the many learning models, Problem-based Learning (PBL) is one of the most recommended in biology learning. The purpose of this content analysis was to identify the emergence of PBL syntax in junior high school biology textbooks. The population in…

Sanchez-Ferreres, Josep; Delicado, Luis; Andaloussi, Amine Abbab; Burattin, Andrea; Calderon-Ruiz, Guillermo; Weber, Barbara; Carmona, Josep; Padro, Lluis – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2020
The creation of a process model is primarily a formalization task that faces the challenge of constructing a syntactically correct entity, which accurately reflects the semantics of reality, and is understandable to the model reader. This article proposes a framework called "Model Judge," focused toward the two main actors in the process…

Kessler, Matt; Polio, Charlene; Xu, Cuiqin; Hao, Xuefei – Foreign Language Annals, 2020
Numerous studies have investigated the effects of prewriting tasks on writing quality and language (e.g., individual vs. collaborative planning, text-chat vs. face-to-face [FTF] discussion, etc.). Recent meta-analyses have found a small advantage for text chat on writing, but no studies involved logographic languages, for which character learning…

Shetreet, Einat; Novogrodsky, Rama – Language Learning and Development, 2020
Universal quantifiers, which refer to groups of individuals or events, can express a subtle distinction between collective (unified or simultaneous) and distributive (individuated and separate) events. Indeed, English uses different quantifiers for this distinction ("all" and "each", respectively). Hebrew, however, has a single…

Demir, Cüneyt – African Educational Research Journal, 2020
Ambiguities are naturally found in languages and largely categorized into lexical and syntactical ambiguities. They are responsible for ambiguous expressions and may cause confusion in readers; therefore, accurate evaluation of them is critical for clear writing which is one of the prominent prerequisites for academic writing. The literature shows…

Shariq, Mohammad – TESOL International Journal, 2020
The current study establishes the reliability of the Holy Qur'an as one of the earliest treatise on language acquisition by humans. This is not to say that it is a scientific treatise: Rather what we know as modern 'knowledge' finds mention in a book much older. This applies to many aspects of human life, whether they spring from scientific…

Levinson, Sarah; Eisenhower, Abbey; Bush, Hillary Hurst; Carter, Alice S.; Blacher, Jan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
The language and social skill deficits associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) warrant further study. Existing research has focused on the contributions of pragmatic language to social skills, with little attention to other aspects of language. We examined the associations across three language domains (semantics, syntax, and pragmatics)…

David Roberts; Ginger Boyd; Johannes Merz; Valentin Vydrin – Language Documentation & Conservation, 2020
Whether tone should be represented in writing, and if so how much, is one of the most formidable challenges facing those developing orthographies for tone languages. Various researchers have attempted to quantify the level of written ambiguity in a language if tone is not marked, but these contributions are not easily comparable because they use…

Ghia, Elisa – Multilingua: Journal of Cross-Cultural and Interlanguage Communication, 2019
In original and dubbed film dialogue, direct questions are a means to depict interpersonal relationships on screen.

Purpose: Child language acquisition is marked by an optional infinitive period (ages 2-4 years) during which children use nonfinite (infinitival) verb forms and finite verb forms interchangeably in grammatical contexts that require finite forms. In English, children's errors include omissions of past tense /--ed/ and 3rd-person singular /--s/.…
