Yang, Yu'an; Goodhue, Daniel; Hacquard, Valentine; Lidz, Jeffrey – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2022
"Wh"-phrases in Mandarin have an interrogative (like English "what") and an indefinite (like English "a/some") interpretation. Previous comprehension studies find that children can access both interpretations around 4.5 years old; studies with younger children focus on production and find that children between 2 and…

Palayon, Raymund T.; Todd, Richard Watson; Vungthong, Sompatu – rEFLections, 2022
The language of religious leaders expressed in their sermons characterizes the social characteristics of their groups. Over the past decades, most studies into cults specifically destructive cults and mainstream religion have mainly focused on their social-psychological characteristics with limited applicability to other religious groups. In this…

Perfetti, Charles; Helder, Anne – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
The study of word-to-text integration (WTI) provides a window on incremental processes that link the meaning of a word to the preceding text. We review a research program using event-related potential indicators of WTI at sentence beginnings, thus localizing sources of integration to prior text meaning independently of the current sentence. The…

Stalpaert, Jara; Cocquyt, Elissa-Marie; Miatton, Marijke; Sieben, Anne; Van Langenhove, Tim; van Mierlo, Pieter; De Letter, Miet – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: The semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is typically associated with a loss of semantic knowledge. Research on the semantic processing in the other clinical variants of PPA is, however, rather sparse and limited to off-line behavioural studies. Aims: This study aimed to investigate verbal semantic processing in…

Haebig, Eileen; Jiménez, Eva; Cox, Christopher R.; Hills, Thomas T. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Children with autism spectrum disorder often have significant language delays. But do they learn language differently than neurotypical toddlers? We compared the lexical skills of 64 preverbal and minimally verbal children with autism spectrum disorder to 461 vocabulary-size-matched typically developing toddlers. We also examined social features…

Charest, Monique; Baird, Tieghan – Journal of Child Language, 2021
Naming semantically related images results in progressively slower responses as more images are named. There is considerable documentation in adults of this phenomenon, known as cumulative semantic interference. Few studies have focused on this phenomenon in children. The present research investigated cumulative semantic interference effects in…

Wu, Chao-Jung; Liu, Chia-Yu; Yang, Chung-Hsuan; Wu, Chen-Ying – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
The study aims to explore the effect of illustrations on young readers' comprehension of science passages, including how they decode specific symbols such as arrows when viewing illustrations. We investigated reading behaviours and interpretation of arrow symbols of 64 sixth-graders in three illustrated science passages using an eye tracker and by…

Rafiek, Muhammad – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2021
This research is aimed at explaining the equation of the Malay vocabulary in the animated film of Upin and Ipin with Banjarese vocabulary in South Kalimantan. In this research, the researcher used a qualitative method with comparative linguistic research design or equation characteristic method of linguistic features. In collecting the data, the…

Lei, Jiedi; Jones, Lauren; Brosnan, Mark – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Prior research has identified the divergence across different stakeholder groups in the semantic choice of language when describing autism, as members of the autism and autistic community preferred to use "identity-first" language (autistic person), whereas professionals were more likely to use "person-first" language (person…

Dede, Yüksel; Akçakin, Veysel; Kaya, Gürcan – ECNU Review of Education, 2021
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the mathematical values, mathematics educational values, and educational values involved in mathematical modeling tasks based on different mathematical modeling perspectives. Design/Approach/Methods: In this context, the present study is a qualitative research based on document analysis. The data…

Clifton, Charles, Jr.; Frazier, Lyn; Kaup, Barbara – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2021
We propose that negative clauses are generally interpreted as if the affirmative portion of the clause is under discussion, a likely topic. This predicts a preference for affirmative (topical) antecedents over negative antecedents of a following missing verb phrase (VP). Three experiments tested the predictions of this hypothesis in sentences…

Mitchell, Thomas D.; Pessoa, Silvia; Gómez-Laich, María Pía; Maune, Michael – TESOL Quarterly: A Journal for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages and of Standard English as a Second Dialect, 2021
This study reports on student writing outcomes from a two-year interdisciplinary collaboration between applied linguists (the authors) and an organizational behavior (OB) professor. We used an ethnographic language-focused approach to make explicit the linguistic features of the case analysis genre at an American university in the Middle East. We…

Truong, Khoa Dang; Do, Nhan Thanh – English Australia Journal, 2021
In most academic writing programs worldwide, instruction aims to develop students' awareness of essay types, written language use, and test-taking strategies. However, teachers' instructional practice is often dictated by their knowledge base, perception, and the intuitions they have about language use (Borg, 2006). Such intuitions are not always…

Tatsumi, Tomoko; Chang, Franklin; Pine, Julian M. – First Language, 2021
The acquisition of verb morphology is often studied using categorical criteria for determining the productivity of a morpheme. Applying this approach to Japanese, an agglutinative language, this study finds no consistent order for morpheme acquisition and that productivity could be explained by sampling effects. To examine morpheme acquisition…

Howitt, Katherine; Dey, Soumik; Sakas, William Gregory – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2021
In this article, we propose a reconceptualization of the principles and parameters (P&P) framework. We argue that in lieu of discrete parameter values, a parameter value exists on a gradient plane that encodes a learner's confidence that a particular parametric structure licenses the utterances in the learner's linguistic input. Crucially,…
