Morphological awareness and vocabulary acquisition: A longitudinal examination of their relationship in English-speaking children
Applied Psycholinguistics - Tập 36 Số 2 - Trang 299-321 - 2015
ABSTRACTAlthough a relationship between morphological awareness and vocabulary
has been widely observed, questions remain about the direction of that
relationship. This longitudinal study explores the temporal relationship between
morphological awareness and vocabulary among monolingual English-speaking
children. Participants were 100 children tested in Grades 2 and 3. We evaluated
morphological a...
The development of young Chinese children's morphological awareness: The role of semantic relatedness and morpheme type
Applied Psycholinguistics - Tập 34 Số 1 - Trang 45-67 - 2013
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 children in a beginning
kindergarten...
What's in a word? Morphological awareness and vocabulary knowledge in three languages
Applied Psycholinguistics - Tập 29 Số 3 - Trang 437-462 - 2008
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 prevalent were tested
on their abilities...
Morphological awareness in Chinese: Unique associations of homophone awareness and lexical compounding to word reading and vocabulary knowledge in Chinese children
Applied Psycholinguistics - Tập 34 Số 4 - Trang 755-775 - 2013
ABSTRACTAn in-depth exploration of the associations of two aspects of
morphological awareness in Chinese—homophone awareness and lexical compounding
awareness—to Chinese word reading and vocabulary knowledge was the primary focus
of the present study. Among 154 9-year-old Hong Kong Chinese children, both
lexical compounding and homophone awareness were significantly associated with
word reading (r...
Development of morphological awareness and vocabulary knowledge in Spanish-speaking language minority learners: A parallel process latent growth curve model
Applied Psycholinguistics - Tập 33 Số 1 - Trang 23-54 - 2012
ABSTRACTDespite acknowledgement of the limited English vocabularies demonstrated
by many language minority (LM) learners, few studies have identified skills that
relate to variation in vocabulary growth in this population. This study
investigated the concurrent development of morphological awareness (i.e.,
students’ understanding of complex words as combinations of meaningful smaller
units) and vo...
Implicit use of radicals in learning characters for nonnative learners of Chinese
Applied Psycholinguistics - Tập 37 Số 3 - Trang 507-527 - 2016
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 with novel pictures
over three le...
English as a foreign language spelling development: A longitudinal study
Applied Psycholinguistics - Tập 33 Số 2 - Trang 343-363 - 2012
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 and EFL spelling.
Results showed ...
A redefinition of the syndrome of Broca's aphasia: Implications for a neuropsychological model of language
Applied Psycholinguistics - Tập 1 Số 3 - Trang 225-278 - 1980
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 theoretically separable
psychological m...
Examination of phonological working memory in specifically language-impaired children
Applied Psycholinguistics - Tập 16 Số 4 - Trang 355-378 - 1995
AbstractThe present study examined the phonological memory capacity, rate of
articulation, phonological-encoding, and perceptual-processing abilities of 13
well-defined, specifically language-impaired (SLI) children and 13 younger,
language-matched normal (NL) children. The results of a nonsense word repetition
task showed that SLI children repeated significantly fewer multisyllabic
nonsense words...
Learning pitch patterns in lexical identification by native English-speaking adults
Applied Psycholinguistics - Tập 28 Số 4 - Trang 565-585 - 2007
The current study investigates the learning of nonnative suprasegmental patterns
for word identification. Native English-speaking adults learned to use
suprasegmentals (pitch patterns) to identify a vocabulary of six English
pseudosyllables superimposed with three pitch patterns (18 words). Successful
learning of the vocabulary necessarily entailed learning to use pitch patterns
in words. Two majo...
