Wilbur, Ronnie – Volta Review, 1982
Sixty-four hearing Ss (grades three, four, and seven) and 94 deaf Ss (grades one, three, five, and seven) were tested to determine whether deaf children extract morpheme structure constraints from their exposure to written English. The results showed first-, third-, and fifth-grade students at a disadvantage next to their hearing counterparts.…

Hanson, Vicki L.; Feldman, Laurie B. – Sign Language Studies, 1991
Observation of deaf persons' responses to a sign decision task, where they made decisions about the number of hands required to form a particular sign in American Sign Language (ASL), supported an earlier study showing that deaf signers organized their ASL lexicons according to the morphological relationships expressed in ASL. (18 references)…

Lee, Joon Ho; Cho, Hyun Yang; Park, Hyouk Ro – Information Processing & Management, 1999
Discusses indexing methods in Korean text retrieval and proposes a new indexing method based on n-grams which can handle compound nouns effectively without dictionaries and complex linguistic knowledge. Experimental results show that n-gram-based indexing is considerably faster than morpheme-based indexing, and also provides better retrieval…

Curtiss, S.; Schaeffer, J. – Brain and Language, 2005
This study reports on functional morpheme (I, D, and C) production in the spontaneous speech of five pairs of children who have undergone hemispherectomy, matching each pair for etiology and age at symptom onset, surgery, and testing. Our results show that following left hemispherectomy (LH), children evidence a greater error rate in the use of…

Santamaria, Carlos; Espino, Orlando; Byrne, Ruth M. J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2005
The authors examined in 3 experiments the comprehension of counterfactuals, such as "If it had rained, the plants would have bloomed," and semifactuals, such as "Even if it had rained, the plants would have bloomed," compared with indicative conditionals, "If it rained, the plants bloomed." The first experiment showed that people read the negative…

Rastle, Kathleen; Tyler, Lorraine K.; Marslen-Wilson, William – Brain and Language, 2006
Morphological errors in reading aloud (e.g., "sexist" [right arrow] "sexy") are a central feature of the symptom-complex known as deep dyslexia, and have historically been viewed as evidence that representations at some level of the reading system are morphologically structured. However, it has been proposed (Funnell, 1987) that morphological…

Nunes, Terezinha; Bryant, P.; Bindman, Miriam – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2006
Because the spelling of many words in the English language (and in many other languages as well) depends on their morphemic structure, children have to have some knowledge about morphemes in order to learn to read and write. This raises the possibility that children gain much of their explicit knowledge about morphemes as a direct result of…

Ray, Shefali – English Teaching Forum, 2007
This lesson uses a text about the houseboats of Kashmir to give students practice with descriptions, compound words, and participles. The lesson plan could be adapted to tourist destinations familiar to the students. Students are asked to write a description of their homes and create a tourism brochure for their own cities or towns.

Hsu, Jeng-yih – Online Submission, 2007
Public speaking can be very threatening to any native speakers of English, not to mention non-native EFL learners. Impromptu speech, perhaps the most challenging form of public speaking, is however being promoted in every city of the EFL countries. The case in Taiwan is no exceptional. Every year, dozens of impromptu speech contexts are held…

Green, Lisa; Roeper, Thomas – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2007
This article considers the comprehension of tense-aspect markers remote past BIN and habitual be by 3- to 5-year-old developing African American English (AAE)-speaking children and their Southwest Louisiana Vernacular English (SwLVE)-speaking peers. Overall both groups of children associated BIN with the distant past; however, the AAE-speaking…

Collins, Laura – ELT Journal, 2007
In making decisions regarding the focus for grammar teaching, ESL instructors may take into consideration errors that appear to result from the influence of their students' first language(s) (L1). There is also evidence from language acquisition research suggesting that for some grammatical features, learners of different L1 backgrounds may face…

Smith, Daniel J. – Bilingual Review, 2007
The fastest growing Hispanic population centers in the United States are currently in the Southeast. In one Georgia community, immigrant children from Mexico, Central America, and South America use Spanish and English together in sentences. This paper compares the bilingual structures of sentences that show codeswitching between Spanish and…

Jia, Gisela; Fuse, Akiko – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2007
Purpose: This 5-year longitudinal study investigated the acquisition of 6 English grammatical morphemes (i.e., regular and irregular past tense, 3rd person singular, progressive aspect-"ing", copula BE, and auxiliary DO) by 10 native Mandarin-speaking children and adolescents in the United States (arrived in the United States between 5…

Chevalier, Jacques A. – 1971
Viewing the number system as a complex of interrelated words, three studies are described: (1) a study of the difficulty of simple addition and subtraction in different decimal positions; (2) a study of variations in the number of digits in the addend or minuend; (3) a study of the effect of irregular morphemes occurring in some number words.…
