Holmes, V. M.; O'Regan, J. K. – Language and Cognitive Processes, 1992
The recognition of multimorphemic French words was investigated using a procedure that allowed the position of first fixation of the eye to be manipulated and gaze durations to be recorded. (37 references) (Author/LB)

Stone, C. Addison; Connell, Phil J. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1993
Two alternative instruction conditions (modeling and imitation) were used to teach a novel morpheme, embodied in a visual symbol system, to 21 children (ages 5-6) with specific language impairment (SLI) and 2 peer groups. Results indicated that imitation practice afforded assistance to children with SLI and their age-matched peers in morpheme…

Shady, Michele; Gerken, Louann – Journal of Child Language, 1999
Investigated whether children age 2; age 0-2; and 2 years used grammatical and caregiver cues in sentence comprehension and how different types of cues interacted. Children listened to sentences and identified pictures. Results indicated that children used caregiver cues (e.g., short length and position of key words) in sentence comprehension.…

McNamara, Mary; Carter, Allyson; McIntosh, Bonnie; Gerken, LouAnn – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1998
Two experiments examined the sensitivity of children (ages 3 to 5) with specific language impairment (SLI) and normally developing children to grammatical morphemes, such as articles and auxiliary verbs. Findings indicated that the children with SLI were sensitive to grammatical morphemes, and that comprehension failure may reflect short-term…

Zobl, Helmut; Liceras, Juana – Language Learning, 1994
This review article analyzes the results of several representative English morpheme-order studies conducted in the 1970s in light of current functional-category theory. Comparative analysis found significant discoveries related to category-specific development of functional projections in first language acquisition and cross-categorical…

Dethorne, Laura S.; Johnson, Bonnie W.; Loeb, Jane W. – Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics, 2005
Despite the common use of mean length of utterance (MLU) as a diagnostic measure, what it actually reflects in terms of linguistic knowledge is relatively unclear. This study explored the extent to which variance in MLU could be accounted for by a measure of expressive vocabulary and a measure of morphosyntax in a group of 44 typically-developing…

Cheung, Him; Hsuan-Chih, Chen; Creed, Nikki; Ng, Lisa; Ping Wang, Sui; Mo, Lei – Child Development, 2004
Complex complements are clausal objects containing tensed verbs (e.g., that she cried) or infinitives (e.g., to cry), following main verbs of communication or mental activities (e.g., say, want). This research examined whether English- and Cantonese-speaking 4-year-olds' complement understanding uniquely predicts their representation of other…

Verhoeven, Ludo; Schreuder, Robert; Baayen, Harald – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2003
Two experiments were carried out to explore the units of analysis used by children to read Dutch bisyllabic pseudowords. Although Dutch orthography is highly regular, several deviations from a one-to-one correspondence occur. In polysyllabic words, the grapheme e may represent three different vowels: /e/, /e/, or [/schwa/]. In Experiment 1, Grade…

Carlisle, Joanne F.; Stone, C. Addison – Reading Research Quarterly, 2005
Two studies were designed to investigate the role of morphemic structure on students' word reading. The first study asked whether familiar morphemes in words facilitate word reading for elementary students. Results showed that lower and upper elementary students read words with two morphemes (derived words with a base word and one suffix, such as…

Solomon, Eric S.; Pearlmutter, Neal J. – Cognitive Psychology, 2004
Five experiments, using a subject-verb agreement error elicitation procedure, investigated syntactic planning processes in production. The experiments examined the influence of semantic integration--the degree to which phrases are tightly linked at the conceptual level--and contrasted two accounts of planning: serial stack-based systems and…

Krott, Andrea; Libben, Gary; Jarema, Gonia; Dressler, Wolfgang; Schreuder, Robert; Baayen, Harald – Language and Speech, 2004
This study addresses the possibility that interfixes in multiconstituent nominal compounds in German and Dutch are functional as markers of immediate constituent structure. We report a lexical statistical survey of interfixation in the lexicons of German and Dutch which shows that all interfixes of German and one interfix of Dutch are…

Arnett, Carlee; Martin, Susannah – Unterrichtspraxis/Teaching German, 2004
Auxiliary selection in L1 German is sensitive to the degree of transitivity of a clause. This study focuses on the most basic parameter of transitivity, number of participants, and shows that as students become more proficient in German, they are more accurate in auxiliary selection. First year students do not reflect in their writing that they…

Loewen, Shawn; Erlam, Rosemary – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2006
Zo eplicates in a synchronous learning environment a study that looked at the effectiveness of providing two types of corrective feedback to students in the classroom. Elementary learners of L2 English (N = 31) completed two communicative tasks, during which time they received either recasts (implicit feedback) or metalinguistic information…

Caruana, Sandro – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2006
Malta has experienced various linguistic influences over the course of time. Maltese and English are presently the official languages of the island. Nevertheless, Italian was never completely erased from the Maltese linguistic scene and over the past years its popularity has increased considerably because of the influence of Italian television…

Corbeil, Giselle – CALICO Journal, 2007
This paper examines the difference in learning outcomes between two groups of students, one of which used the "French Tutor," a multimedia package, and the other a textbook to learn the formation and use of two French past tense verbs: the perfect and the imperfect. Unlike the textbook, the "French Tutor" included visual…
