Tracing the Development of Periphrastic Causatives of EFL Learners From Different L1 Backgrounds
Expressing causation through complex grammatical constructions is a significant challenge for EFL learners, as these constructions often involve nuanced semantic and pragmatic considerations beyond simple grammatical rules. Periphrastic causatives represent a syntactic and semantic category that enables learners to articulate causal relationships concisely. Previous research has documented EFL learners’ underuse, overuse, and misuse of periphrast…
The role of vocabulary and grammar in the listening text comprehension of school-age Cantonese-speaking children with developmental language disorder
Variation in phonological bias
Infant learning of words in a typologically distant nonnative language
Infants attune to their native language during the first two years of life, as attested by decreases in the processing of nonnative phonological sounds and reductions in the range of possible sounds accepted as labels for native words. The present study shows that French-learning infants aged 1;8 can learn new words in an unfamiliar language, Cantonese, after just 6 repetitions of each word. This shows that word learning in a nonnative language r…
The use of headed and headless DE-marked referential expressions in Chinese mother-child conversation
The Effects of Early English Learning on Auditory Perception of English Minimal Pairs by Taiwan University Students
Memory capacity in school-age Mandarinspeaking children with specific language impairment
Ten school-age Mandarin-speaking children with specific language impairment (SLI) were tested with three memory tasks: (1) a position probe task, (2) a missing object task and (3) a word span task. Two control groups, one age-matched and one language-matched, were also tested. In the three tasks, children with SLI performed significantly poorer than the age-matched controls only in the object position probe task, a test on spatial memory. When co…
Enhancing older adults' reading comprehension
Syntactic measures, as well as measures of sentence content, were used with hierarchical multiple regression techniques to investigate older adults’ reading comprehension. Older adults’ reading difficulty, as measured by a test of comprehension and words‐per‐minute reading rates, appears to be due to the use of propositionally dense sentences and complex syntactic structures. This analysis provides clear guidelines for the preparation of prose ma…
