Sonbul, Suhad; El-Dakhs, Dina Abdel Salam; Al-Otaibi, Hind – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2022
Experimental research on the interface between second language vocabulary knowledge, including collocations, and translation competence is scarce. The present study investigates the role played by three determinants of collocation knowledge (knowledge level -- recall versus recognition, congruency, and constituent word types) in the accuracy of…

Albaqami, Rashidah – Arab World English Journal, 2022
This study examines the effect of enhanced input of lexical chunks on the performance of Arabic-speaking English learners' writings. Lexical chunks, containing their forms, meanings, and functions, stored and recovered as a single component in brains, may alleviate language processing problems and increase language proficiency. The research…

Girgin, Ufuk; Dinçer, Zeynep Ölçü – Journal on English Language Teaching, 2022
One of the inspirational forms of integrating technology into Second Language (L2) teaching is using 'corpora'. In this study, corpora were used to develop printed instructional materials to teach grammatical cohesive devices that are not sufficiently represented in L2 English course books. Specifically, the aim was to understand whether the…

Kim, Min-Kyung; Lee, Seung-Ah – English Teaching, 2022
This study addresses the lack of comprehension data in second language acquisition research by focusing on English existential "there"-constructions (ETCs) with a locative extension (e.g., "there is an X on the Y"). The post-copular noun X used in the present study consisted of two types: actual and nonsense. Participants…

Al-Jarf, Reima – Online Submission, 2022
This study aims to: (i) describe the different meanings and contexts in which Arabic "dar" and "bayt" and English "house" and "home" expressions are used; (ii) compare "dar," "bayt," "house" and "home" expressions and give examples of expressions that are identical in…

Fokin, Serhii – Advanced Education, 2019
The value of a dictionary is traditionally considered to be proportional to its physical volume, measured in the number of entries. However, the amount of useful data varies depending on existing hypertextual links across a dictionary. Therefore, its utility might also be calculated as proportional to the number of useful links among its…

Yemelyanova, Olena – Advanced Education, 2019
The article deals with the analysis of the addressee's factor foregrounding in the limerick discourse. The study demonstrates that the limerick discourse is characterised by an addresser-writer's and an addressee-reader/listener's reciprocality via idiosyncratic protagonists portrayed by an addresser-writer. A limerick presents a laconic…

Lolja, Saimir A. – Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 2019
In the beginning, humans had a tongue ("gjuhën," "Shqip"). Then, they could or couldn't let go of the tongue ("len…gjuhën," Shqip). Albanian natural tongue (Shqip) implies the use of the tongue in the mouth for articulating ("shqiptoj," Shqip) words. The eternity of Shqip (Speech) is in its words that are…

Rastelli, Stefano – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2019
The Discontinuity Model (DM) described in this article proposes that adults can learn part of L2 morphosyntax twice, in two different ways. The same item can be learned as the product of generation by a rule or as a modification of a template already stored in memory. These learning modalities, which are often seen as opposed in language theory,…

Spit, Sybren; Rispens, Judith – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2019
Gifted children are described as very talented children who achieve more than their age mates in one or more domains (Steiner and Carr in Educ Psychol Rev 15(3):215-246, 2003). These children potentially share a cognitive advantage enabling them to excel in language, but also in other domains. In the present study we explored whether gifted…

Zaabalawi, Rafe S. – Reading Matrix: An International Online Journal, 2019
Collocations are words that often arbitrarily cluster in a particular language context (e.g., make progress). Native Arabic learners of English often find difficulty using English collocations in their English discourse. This is probably because such expressions, though occurring in Arabic, are not as frequently used as they are in English.…

Toomer, Mark; Elgort, Irina – Language Learning, 2019
Sonbul and Schmitt (2013) showed that exposure to second language (L2) collocations in reading texts can produce gains in explicit knowledge, but they found no evidence of gains in implicit knowledge. This study is a conceptual replication and extension of Sonbul and Schmitt's research. Sixty-two advanced English as a second language (ESL)…

Huang, Yu-Tien; Shih, Shu-Min; Tseng, Sheng Shiang – Educational Media and Technology Yearbook, 2019
The effects of social annotation on critical literacy remain controversial, and little research has explained why some students can benefit from social annotation in critical literacy, and some cannot. This chapter investigates the effects of social annotation on critical literacy and the interactive patterns of social annotations. The…

Yamada, Toshiyuki; Arai, Manabu; Hirose, Yuki – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2017
The current study tackles a long standing question of whether comprehenders perform structural revision when it is not forced by grammar or not. Using an eye-tracking reading paradigm, we addressed this issue by making use of global structural ambiguity in Japanese. Our results show that comprehenders initially associate a relative clause with the…
