On the mental representations of L2 English /z/ among L1 Chinese speakers
The study investigates how L1 Taiwan Mandarin speakers perceive the L2 English voiced /z/, whose counterpart is not directly available in Taiwan Mandarin. A transcription task was conducted to allow participants to freely choose Taiwan Mandarin segments they perceive as suitable substitutes for English /z/. Using a substitution pattern analysis, the study aims to understand the challenges faced by these speakers in acquiring English /z/. Three th…
Kaçak electricity
What are the political and economic relationships between public utilities, companies, states and people that contemporary societies inherited from the age of imperialism, when new energy infrastructures and technologies started spreading across the world? Through a historical-anthropological exploration of kaçak (informal/illicit/smuggled) electricity use and exchange during the late Ottoman Empire, this article analyzes how the relationships be…
Validation of a multiple-choice implicature test
In the past decades, implicature has been recognized as an indispensable topic in L2 pragmatics research. While various instruments have been used to test implicature knowledge, scant research has verified their construct validity of implicature items by examining test takers’ cognitive processes while responding to them. In response to this research gap, Roever, Carsten. 2005. Testing ESL pragmatics: Development and validation of a web-based ass…
Processing conjunctive entailment of disjunction
In a sentence where the disjunction huo ‘or’ appears under the negation mei ‘no’ (e.g.: Ta mei chi qingjiao huo qiezi . ‘He did not eat green peppers or eggplants.’), the sentence is globally ambiguous between the conjunctive interpretation and the disjunctive interpretation. The primary goal of this study is to investigate if there is a default meaning for simple negative statements containing huo ‘or’. Data collected from the self-paced region-…
On the Relationship between Intrinsic Saliency and Implicit Learning of Apologetic Strategies
The current study explored the relationship between the intrinsic saliency of apologetic strategies and the effects of implicit learning. Seventeen Taiwanese English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners with intermediate proficiency participated in the experiment with a pretest on apology in the first week, a noticing session in the second week and a posttest in the third week. The results from the noticing session indicated that providing reason…
Awareness of Linguistic Ambiguity and Translator Training
As a first step toward understanding the relationship between conscious awareness of linguistic knowledge and translation performance, this study investigated whether enhancement of trainee translators’ awareness of linguistic ambiguity helped them increase their awareness of ambiguity in translation and whether the effects were correlated with the participants’ language proficiency. Forty-six first-year undergraduate students from a translation …
A First Step toward the Clinical Application of Landmark-Based Acoustic Analysis in Child Mandarin
As an initial step for the clinical application of landmark-based acoustic analysis in child Mandarin, the study quantified the developmental trajectories of consonants produced by four-to-seven-year-old children who acquired Taiwanese Mandarin as their first language. The results from a total of 80 children (20 in each age group, with gender balanced) indicated that younger age groups produced more + b landmark features than seven-year-olds did,…
Testing the applicability of third tone sandhi at the intonation boundary
The purpose of this study is to test the applicability of Tone Three Sandhi (T3S) when the critical syllable is a monosyllabic topic preceding a topic boundary. A recitation task from 37 native speakers of Taiwan Mandarin was employed. The results from human judgements indicated that the participants predominantly produced the critical syllables with Tone 3 (T3). Additionally, the fundamental frequency of the critical syllables demonstrated a fal…
