Implicit use of radicals in learning characters for nonnative learners of ChineseApplied Psycholinguistics - Tập 37 Số 3 - Trang 507-527 - 2016
Jie Zhang, Hong Li, Qiong Dong, Jie Xu, ELIZABETH SHOLAR
ABSTRACTThis study investigated whether beginning nonnative learners of Chinese can use phonological and semantic information of radicals to learn the sounds and meanings of new Chinese characters. Thirty-four seventh- and eighth-grade American adolescents, who received intensive Chinese instruction for one semester, were taught 16 compound pseudocharacters paired ...... hiện toàn bộ
English as a foreign language spelling development: A longitudinal studyApplied Psycholinguistics - Tập 33 Số 2 - Trang 343-363 - 2012
Janina Kahn‐Horwitz, Richard L. Sparks, Zahava Goldstein
ABSTRACTEnglish as a foreign language (EFL) spelling was examined longitudinally three times (4th, 9th, 12th grades) during 9 years of EFL study among Hebrew first language (L1) students. The study examined the impact of L1 literacy variables including phonemic awareness, word attack, and spelling on EFL spelling and the relationship between EFL literacy variables ...... hiện toàn bộ
Grammatical errors in specific language impairment: Competence or performance limitations?Applied Psycholinguistics - Tập 15 Số 4 - Trang 507-550 - 1994
Dorothy Bishop
ABSTRACTSpeech samples from twelve 8- to 12-year-old children with specific language impairment (SLI) were analyzed. The feature deficit hypothesis maintains that SLI children may produce morphological markers (e.g., plural -s) correctly, but they do not appreciate their role in marking grammatical features. Rather, they treat them as meaningless phonological varia...... hiện toàn bộ
Contingencies governing the production of fricatives, affricates, and liquids in babblingApplied Psycholinguistics - Tập 21 Số 3 - Trang 341-363 - 2000
Christina Gildersleeve-Neumann, Barbara L. Davis, Peter F. MacNeilage
Studies of early-developing consonants (stops, nasals, and glides) in babbling have shown
that most of the variance in consonants and their associated vowels, both within and between
syllables, is due to a “frame” produced by mandibular oscillation, with very little
active contribution from intrasyllabic or intersyllabic tongue movements. In a study of four
babbling infants, the prediction...... hiện toàn bộ
The development of young Chinese children's morphological awareness: The role of semantic relatedness and morpheme typeApplied Psycholinguistics - Tập 34 Số 1 - Trang 45-67 - 2013
Meiling Hao, Xi Chen, Vedran Dronjic, Hua Shu, Richard C. Anderson
ABSTRACTThe research reported in this paper investigated the effects of semantic relatedness of words (closely related vs. distantly related) and morpheme type (free morpheme vs. bound morpheme) on young Chinese children's homophone awareness, an aspect of morphological awareness, in two experiments. The first experiment was a cross-sectional study including 39 chi...... hiện toàn bộ
What's in a word? Morphological awareness and vocabulary knowledge in three languagesApplied Psycholinguistics - Tập 29 Số 3 - Trang 437-462 - 2008
Catherine McBride‐Chang, Twila Tardif, Jeung‐Ryeul Cho, Hua Shu, Paul Fletcher, Stephanie F. Stokes, Amy Wong, K. K. Leung
ABSTRACTUnderstanding how words are created is potentially a key component to being able to learn and understand new vocabulary words. However, research on morphological awareness is relatively rare. In this study, over 660 preschool-aged children from three language groups (Cantonese, Mandarin, and Korean speakers) in which compounding morphology is highly prevale...... hiện toàn bộ
A redefinition of the syndrome of Broca's aphasia: Implications for a neuropsychological model of languageApplied Psycholinguistics - Tập 1 Số 3 - Trang 225-278 - 1980
Rita Sloan Berndt, Alfonso Caramazza
ABSTRACTA neuropsychological theory is offered to account for the syndrome of Broca's aphasia. A critical review of the literature, with emphasis on recent research, provides the basis for a redefinition of the syndrome that considerably broadens its classical description. The argument is advanced that the focus of neuropsychological explanation should be on theore...... hiện toàn bộ
