Barner, David; Chow, Katherine; Yang, Shu-Ju – Cognitive Psychology, 2009
We explored children's early interpretation of numerals and linguistic number marking, in order to test the hypothesis (e.g., Carey (2004). Bootstrapping and the origin of concepts. "Daedalus", 59-68) that children's initial distinction between "one" and other numerals (i.e., "two," "three," etc.) is bootstrapped from a prior distinction between…

Ionin, Tania; Zubizarreta, Maria Luisa; Philippov, Vadim – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2009
This paper examines article use in the L2-English of adult and child speakers of Russian, an article-less language. In earlier work on articles in adult L2-English, Ionin, Ko and Wexler (2004) proposed that speakers of article-less L1s fluctuate between dividing English articles on the basis of definiteness vs. specificity, as a result of direct…

Sarnecka, Barbara W.; Kamenskaya, Valentina G.; Yamana, Yuko; Ogura, Tamiko; Yudovina, Yulia B. – Cognitive Psychology, 2007
This study examined whether singular/plural marking in a language helps children learn the meanings of the words "one," "two," and "three." First, CHILDES data in English, Russian (which marks singular/plural), and Japanese (which does not) were compared for frequency, variability, and contexts of number-word use.…

Wobst, Susan – Russian Language Journal, 1981
Uses six examples to substantiate the hypothesis that masculine root words in reference to males in Russian cover a broader semantic space than do feminine root words in reference to females. Women share in the same wide space only when implicitly included in a masculine root. (Author/BK)

Birkenmaier, Willy – International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching, 1977
Two consecutive sentences in Russian with the same verbal predicate often show an aspectual shift. The thematic role of the verb is underlined by lexical items that signal the communicative structure of the sentence. Interdependence between theme-rheme articulation is more important than the relationship between aspect and modality. (Text is in…

Slabakova, Roumyana – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2005
Two major mechanisms of encoding telicity across languages are either marking the object as exhaustively countable or measurable, or utilizing a specific prefix on the verbal form. English predominantly uses the first mechanism, while Russian mostly utilizes the second. The learning task of an English speaker acquiring Russian, then, is two-fold:…

Marian, Viorica; Kaushanskaya, Margarita – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2007
Cross-linguistic borrowing (overt use of words from the other language) and transfer (use of semantic or syntactic structures from the other language without active switching to that language) were examined during language production in Russian-English bilinguals. Grammatical category (noun/verb) and level of concreteness were found to influence…
