Matthews, Danielle E.; Theakston, Anna L. – Cognitive Science, 2006
How do English-speaking children inflect nouns for plurality and verbs for the past tense? We assess theoretical answers to this question by considering errors of omission, which occur when children produce a stem in place of its inflected counterpart (e.g., saying "dress" to refer to 5 dresses). A total of 307 children (aged 3;11-9;9)…

Koo, John H. – Russian Language Journal, 1980
Alaska, with its history of Russian colonization, has a large stock of Russian loanwords. The majority of the loanwords discussed are for cultural and concrete items and are substances, emerging as noun words, to which paragogic endings are agglutinated. (NCR)

McGregor, Karla K.; Leonard, Laurence B. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1994
Children with specific language impairment (SLI) and their normally developing (ND) peers imitated proper nouns, the pronouns "he" and "you," and the article "the" in subject phrases. Both groups showed significantly more omissions of the function words than the proper nouns. A phonological explanation of subject article and pronoun omission is…

Poser, William J. – Language, 1990
Proposals for foot structure in Japanese have been limited to versification and to mechanisms for assigning tone that bear little resemblance to stress feet. It is argued that a bimoraic foot whose properties are similar to those of stress feet in other languages plays a significant role in Japanese morphophonology. (35 references) (JL)

Jarvis, Lorna Hernandez; Merriman, William E.; Barnett, Michelle; Hanba, Jessica; Van Haitsma, Kylee S. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2004
Children tend to choose an entity they cannot already label, rather than one they can, as the likely referent of a novel noun. The effect of input that contradicts this strategy on the interpretation of other novel nouns was investigated. In pre- and posttests, 4-year-olds were asked to judge whether novel nouns referred to "name-similar" familiar…

Schiller, Niels O.; Fikkert, Paula; Levelt, Clara C. – Brain and Language, 2004
This study investigates whether or not the representation of lexical stress information can be primed during speech production. In four experiments, we attempted to prime the stress position of bisyllabic target nouns (picture names) having initial and final stress with auditory prime words having either the same or different stress as the target…

Bordag, Denisa; Opitz, Andreas; Pechmann, Thomas – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
In 2 picture-naming and 2 grammaticality judgment experiments, the authors explored how the phonological form of a word, especially its termination, affects gender processing by monolinguals and unbalanced bilinguals speaking German. The results of the 2 experiments with native German speakers yielded no significant differences: The reaction times…

Tuggy, David – International Journal of English Studies, 2003
Spanish and English have exocentric verb+object = subject/instrument compounds, such as "abrelatas" (opens-cans) "can-opener" and "scarecrow." They share a general constructional pattern, consist of "clumps" or subfamilies of forms, and have a negative or jocular tendency. They differ in their individual…

Andre, Edgar – Revue de Phonetique Appliquee, 1977
A study of tonic placement in various types of English noun phrases used as elements of clause structure. The notion of nominal compound is broadened; reflection of grammatical relationships by stress and tendencies concerning tonic placement in noun phrases as these are related to the Headword are noted.

Bobrow, Samuel – J Verb Learning Verb Behav, 1970
