Abdulatif Al-Basri, Majid – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2021
This paper has been written to fall within the orbit of the moraic framework of the syllable, particularly the syllable weight, of Basrah Arabic. Universal as its nature is, mora, when studied and then applied, has, metaphorically speaking, the power of casting its phonological 'spell' over the problems of the morphophonology of Basrah…

This study explored the use of Grammarly in the L2 writing context by comparing error frequency, error types…

Twenty children with dyslexia (DYS), 20 spelling-level-matched (SA) and 20 age-matched (CA) children spelled adjectives, nouns, and verbs in dictated word pairs and sentences. Children spelled nouns and verbs more accurately than adjectives and…

Miller, Julia – Journal of Learning Design, 2012
Many people imagine dictionaries to be bulky tomes that are hard to lift and are only useful for quick translations or to check the meaning or spelling of difficult words. This paper aims to dispel that myth and show how online versions of monolingual English learners' dictionaries (MELDs) can be used pedagogically to engage students in academic…

Mackie, Clare J.; Dockrell, Julie; Lindsay, Geoff – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2013
In this study, we performed a fine grained analysis of writing by children with a specific language impairment (SLI) and examined the contribution of oral language, phonological short-term memory (STM), nonverbal ability, and word reading to three writing constructs (productivity, complexity and accuracy). Forty-six children with SLI were compared…

Kemp, Nenagh; Nilsson, Jodi; Arciuli, Joanne – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2009
The spelling of many disyllabic English word endings holds cues to their grammatical category, beyond obvious inflectional endings such as "-ing" for verbs. For example, some letter sequences are clearly associated with nouns (e.g., "-oon") and others with verbs (e.g., "-erge"). This study extended recent research by Arciuli and Cupples (2006),…

Mitchell, Paul; Kemp, Nenagh; Bryant, Peter – Reading Research Quarterly, 2011
The purpose of this research was to examine whether adults rely on morphemic spelling rules or word-specific knowledge when spelling simple words. We examined adults' knowledge of two of the simplest and most reliable rules in English spelling concerning the morphological word ending -s. This spelling is required for regular plural nouns (e.g.,…
