Chang, Franklin; Baumann, Michael; Pappert, Sandra; Fitz, Hartmut – Cognitive Science, 2015
Lexicalized theories of syntax often assume that verb-structure regularities are mediated by lemmas, which abstract over variation in verb tense and aspect. German syntax seems to challenge this assumption, because verb position depends on tense and aspect. To examine how German speakers link these elements, a structural priming study was…

Comeaux, Ian; McDonald, Janet L. – Language Learning, 2018
Visual input enhancement (VIE) increases the salience of grammatical forms, potentially facilitating acquisition through attention mechanisms. Native English speakers were exposed to an artificial language containing four linguistic cues (verb agreement, case marking, animacy, word order), with morphological cues either unmarked, marked in the…

Hoover, Jill R. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to determine the effect of neighborhood density and syntactic class on word recognition in children with specific language impairment (SLI) and typical development (TD). Method: Fifteen children with SLI ("M" age = 6;5 [years;months]) and 15 with TD ("M" age = 6;4) completed a…

Yun, Hongoak; Choi, Soonja – Cognitive Science, 2018
This study has two goals. First, we present much-needed empirical linguistic data and systematic analyses on the spatial semantic systems in English and Korean, two languages that have been extensively compared to date in the debate on spatial language and spatial cognition. We conduct our linguistic investigation comprehensively, encompassing the…

White, Aaron S.; Hacquard, Valentine; Lidz, Jeffrey – Cognitive Science, 2018
Propositional attitude verbs, such as "think" and "want," have long held interest for both theoretical linguists and language acquisitionists because their syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic properties display complex interactions that have proven difficult to fully capture from either perspective. This paper explores the…

Saka, Ismail – International Journal of Modern Education Studies, 2020
This study investigated EFL learners' comprehension of scalar properties of three types of emotion verbs, namely, fear type, liking and disliking emotion verbs and compare their performance with instructors and native speakers of English. The participants were 38 nonnative pre-service teachers from ELT department at a state university in Turkey,…

Williams, Graham Trevor – Multilingua: Journal of Cross-Cultural and Interlanguage Communication, 2020
This paper investigates performative manifestations of sincerity across Anglo-Norman and Middle English. In particular, it locates adverbial sincerity markers used to qualify performative speech act verbs in late medieval letters (fourteenth and fifteenth centuries), at a point when Middle English was rapidly replacing Anglo-Norman as the…

Sánchez Calderón, Silvia; Fernández Fuertes, Raquel – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2020
This work investigates the acquisition of Spanish dative alternation (DA) in the production of English-Spanish bilingual and Spanish monolingual children. We explore whether "a/para"-datives and dative clitic doubled (DCLD) structures are syntactically derived from one another or, whether they are different structures. We also examine…

Berry, Jessica R.; Oetting, Janna B. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: We compared copula and auxiliary verb BE use by African American English-speaking children with and without a creole heritage, using Gullah/Geechee as the creole criterion, to determine if differences exist, the nature of the differences, and the impact of the differences on interpretations of ability. Method: Data came from 38 children,…

James, Peggy; Hudspeth, Christopher – New Directions for Teaching and Learning, 2017
We suggest four changes to the first-year experience (FYE): reconceptualize practices of engagement as verbs rather than nouns; remove the discrete borders between teacher and student; develop manifold opportunities within FYE; and create a learning place rather than a learning space.

Pietraszko, Joanna – ProQuest LLC, 2017
This thesis is a study of the syntax of multi-verb constructions, in which a single clause contains more than one verbal element. Multi-verb constructions are of special interest in light of the hypothesis that clausal structure is headed by a verb. Implemented in terms of extended projections, this hypothesis states that clausal functional…

Olszewski, Arnold; Hood, Rachel Lynell – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2023
Dialogic reading during shared book reading between adults and children is an effective way to promote vocabulary acquisition. However, there is limited research on what strategies parents are spontaneously using during book reading sessions, which are important to understand for optimizing parent training in dialogic reading. The current study…

Sögüt, Sibel; Keçik, Ilknur – Reading Matrix: An International Online Journal, 2023
This study investigates the use of high-frequency cognitive verbs - think and believe - in Turkish L2 learners' interlanguage, both in terms of their verb senses and complementation patterns. In line with this purpose, a Sentence Production Task consisting of context-independent items and a Sentence Completion Task consisting of context-dependent…

Judy, Tiffany; Puig-Mayenco, Eloi; Chaouch-Orozco, Adel; Martín-Villena, Fernando; Miller, David – Second Language Research, 2023
This study tests the Competing Systems Hypothesis (CSH) as applied to adult second language acquisition of aspect in Spanish. The CSH purports that differences among tutored and untutored learners result from competition between one system of underlying grammatical knowledge and another of learned metalinguistic knowledge in tutored learners…

Hennessy, Sara; Calcagni, Elisa; Leung, Alvin; Mercer, Neil – Language and Education, 2023
Dialogic approaches based on active student participation, open, respectful discussion, exploring and critiquing different perspectives are increasingly found to support student learning. However, the specific productive forms of teacher-student interaction have rarely been studied systematically. A recent large-scale project explored the…
