Jones, Todd C.; Atchley, Paul – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
Six experiments investigated conjunction memory errors (e.g., falsely remembering blackbird after studying parent words blackmail and jailbird) in a continuous recognition procedure with a parent-conjunction lag manipulation. In 4 experiments (1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B) "recollect" judgments, which indexed recall of parent words, showed that participants…

Demuth, Katherine; Culbertson, Jennifer; Alter, Jennifer – Language and Speech, 2006
Many languages exhibit constraints on prosodic words, where lexical items must be composed of at least two moras of structure, or a binary foot. Demuth and Fee (1995) proposed that children demonstrate early sensitivity to word-minimality effects, exhibiting a period of vowel lengthening or vowel epenthesis if coda consonants cannot be produced.…

Hadley, Pamela A.; Holt, Janet K. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2006
The purpose of this study was to explore individual differences in children's tense onset growth trajectories and to determine whether any within- or between-child predictors could account for these differences. Twenty-two children with expressive vocabulary abilities in the low-average to below-average range participated. Sixteen children were at…

Goad, Heather; White, Lydia – Second Language Research, 2006
In this article, we argue against the Representational Deficit Hypothesis, according to which second language (L2) speakers can never acquire functional categories or features that are absent in the first language (L1), suggesting that fossilization is inevitable. Instead, we support the Prosodic Transfer Hypothesis, which argues that the ultimate…

Charles, Maggie – English for Specific Purposes, 2006
This study investigates the phraseological patterning that occurs in reporting clauses used to make references to others' research. It examines finite reporting clauses with "that"-clause complement and draws upon two corpora of theses written by native speakers in contrasting disciplines: approximately 190,000 words in politics/international…

Legendre, Geraldine – Cognitive Science, 2006
This article reports on a series of 5 analyses of spontaneous production of verbal inflection (tense and person-number agreement) by 2-year-olds acquiring French as a native language. A formal analysis of the qualitative and quantitative results is developed using the unique resources of Optimality Theory (OT; Prince & Smolensky, 2004). It is…

Hustad, Katherine C. – American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 2006
Purpose: This study addressed the effects of 3 different paradigms for scoring orthographic transcriptions of dysarthric speech on intelligibility scores. The study also examined whether there were differences in transcription accuracy among words from different linguistic classes. Method: Speech samples were collected from 12 speakers with…

Wright, Pamela S. – 1995
This paper examines several previously-unexplained aspects of verbal morphology and syntax in Madija, an Arauan languages spoken in Peru and Brazil. These include the distribution of an auxiliary verb that occurs with some predicates but not with others and the factors that determine the choice among three different affixes marking third person…

Folarin, Antonia Y. – 1988
The advantages of analyzing the Yoruba prefix "oni-" as two morphemes, "o-" and "ni-" are discussed, and it is shown why it is better to analyze it as an inseparable, single morpheme rather than two separate morphemes. "Oni-" is the only class-maintaining prefix in Yoruba, and is the only prefix attached to a noun to form another noun. Evidence is…

Barkai, Malachi – Lingua, 1975
A fundamental concept of generative phonology stating that related morphemes have unique phonological representations is criticized. It is argued that more morphologization of phonological rules is needed to explain morphophonemic changes. (Available from North-Holland Publishing Co., P. O. Box 211, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.)

Sommerstein, Alan H. – Journal of Linguistics, 1975
This paper discusses the problem of drawing a boundary between morpholexical and morphophonemic phenomena within a generative model of phonology. Criteria for classifying alternations are set down and rules are examined in light of these criteria. (CHK)

Jarvella, Robert J.; Snodgrass, Joan Gay – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1974
Two experiments are reported in which subjects judged whether pairs of words viewed simultaneously contained the same stem morpheme. Reaction times for making these judgments are discussed. (Author/RM)

Cameron, Carrie – 1989
This study examines the use in Japanese of verb forms containing -(r)are in syntactical expressions. The meaning and function of the adversative passive and its behavior vis-a-vis the non-adversative or plain passive is discussed, and the related non-derived constructions and their relationships to the adversative passive are analyzed. Finally the…

Zagona, Karen – 1986
An analysis of the structure and interpretation of Spanish adverbs ending in "-mente" focuses on the grammatical status of the constituent elements of those words. It begins by looking at the grammatical properties of "-mente" adverbs (MAs), the word-level properties of MA constituents, and the compound types and their…
