Reilly, Jamie; Kean, Jacob – Cognitive Science, 2007
Words associated with perceptually salient, highly imageable concepts are learned earlier in life, more accurately recalled, and more rapidly named than abstract words (R. W. Brown, 1976; Walker & Hulme, 1999). Theories accounting for this concreteness effect have focused exclusively on semantic properties of word referents. A novel possibility is…

Parisse, Christophe; Maillart, Christelle – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2007
Maillart and Parisse found out that French children with specific language impairment (SLI) presented strong difficulties in phonology when compared with normally-developing children matched by MLU (NLD). Some of the youngest children from this study were followed to provide developmental information about their language deficit. Children were…

Merriman, William E.; Marazita, John M. – Developmental Psychology, 1995
Three experiments examined disambiguation effect, the attachment of novel nouns to unfamiliar objects, and the effect of preexposure to similar sounding words in 2-year olds. Preexposure was found to alter subjects' disambiguation of novel nouns, attesting to the importance of phonological working memory in toddlers' decisions about the likely…

Seva, Nada; Kempe, Vera; Brooks, Patricia J.; Mironova, Natalija; Pershukova, Angelina; Fedorova, Olga – Journal of Child Language, 2007
Our previous research showed that Russian children commit fewer gender-agreement errors with diminutive nouns than with their simplex counterparts. Experiment 1 replicates this finding with Russian children (N=24, mean 3;7, range 2;10-4;6). Gender agreement was recorded from adjective usage as children described animal pictures given just their…

Miller, Paul – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2006
The aim of this study was to determine whether Hebrew readers reference phonological information for the silent processing of unpointed Hebrew nouns. A research paradigm in which participants were required to perform consecutive same/different judgments regarding the identicalness of members of stimulus pairs was used for answering this question.…

Miyakoshi, Tomoko – ProQuest LLC, 2009
Although it is widely acknowledged that collocations play an important part in second language learning, especially at intermediate-advanced levels, learners' difficulties with collocations have not been investigated in much detail so far. The present study examines ESL learners' use of verb-noun collocations, such as "take notes," "place an…

Sasisekaran, Jayanthi; De Nil, Luc F. – Journal of Fluency Disorders, 2006
The present study investigated phonological encoding skills in persons who stutter (PWS). Participants were 10 PWS (M=31.8 years, S.D.=5.9) matched for age, gender, and handedness with 12 persons who do not stutter (PNS) (M=24.3 years, S.D.=4.3). The groups were compared in a phoneme monitoring task performed during silent picture naming. The…

Bodomo, Adams; Marfo, Charles – 2002
Up to two-thirds of African languages have a system of noun classification of some sort. This paper proposes an alternative approach to the noun class system of the Dagaare and Akan languages based more on an interaction between morphology and phonology than on semantics. Dagaare and Akan are two West African languages that exhibit mainly suffixal…

Keuleers, Emmanuel; Sandra, Dominiek; Daelemans, Walter; Gillis, Steven; Durieux, Gert; Martens, Evelyn – Cognitive Psychology, 2007
We develop the view that inflection is driven partly by non-phonological analogy and that non-phonological information is of particular importance to the inflection of non-canonical roots, which in the view of [Marcus, G. F., Brinkmann, U., Clahsen, H., Wiese, R., & Pinker, S. (1995). "German inflection: the exception that proves the rule."…

Stokoe, William C. – Sign Language Studies, 2001
Proposes the term semantic phonology, which invites one to look at a sign--a word of a primary sign language--as a marriage of a noun and a verb. In semantic terminology, the sign is an agent-verb construction. (Author/VWL)

BIDWELL, CHARLES E. – 1966
THE FIRST PART OF THIS TWO-PART ANALYSIS DESCRIBES MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SERBOCROATIAN NOUNS ONLY. THERE IS A SHORT DISCUSSION OF THE SOURCES AND DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED IN ESTABLISHING WHAT IS THE STANDARD SPEECH FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANALYSIS. NOUNS ARE DIVIDED INTO THREE DECLENSIONAL CLASSES, ACCORDING TO ENDING OF THE GENITIVE…

Szagun, Gisela; Stumper, Barbara; Sondag, Nina; Franik, Melanie – Journal of Child Language, 2007
The acquisition of noun gender on articles was studied in a sample of 21 young German-speaking children. Longitudinal spontaneous speech data were used. Data analysis is based on 22 two-hourly speech samples per child from 6 children between 1 ; 4 and 3 ; 8 and on 5 two-hourly speech samples per child from 15 children between 1 ; 4 and 2 ; 10. The…

Ashby, William J. – Studia Linguistica, 1975
The "rhythmic group" in French (noun group or verb group) is described with examples. The aim is to find some relation between the morphophonological phenomena such as "liaison" occurring within such rhythmic groups and the syntactic structure of French. Available from Liber Laeromedel, Box 1205, S-22105 Lund, Sweden. (TL)

Camarata, Stephen M.; Schwartz, Richard G. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1985
Action word and object word productions of 12 language-normal and language-impaired young children were examined. Results revealed that percentage of consonants produced correctly within the spontaneous speech of both groups was higher for object words. The production advantage for object words was maintained even when certain input factors were…
