Standard Modern Greek and Greek-Cypriot dialect in kindergarten classroom interaction: Teachers' and learners' language attitudes and language use
This study investigates language use and language attitudes in state kindergarten education in Cyprus. Kindergarten education is the primary setting where Greek-Cypriots learn to employ the standard variety on a systematic basis. Consequently, the context of kindergarten education is a principal setting for examining language attitudes and language variation. Specifically, this study examines whether teachers' ambiguities regarding language use e…
A further note on simulating word association behaviour in a second language
This article explores some critical methodological and theoretical issues that emerge from recent research into word association behaviour in second language (L2) learners. The studies that we discuss here all use computer simulations as a tool to investigate L2 lexical networks, and to compare these networks with those of first language (L1) speakers. This article broaches some previously unacknowledged complexities in this kind of research, and…
Untangling word webs: Graph theory and the notion of density in second language word association networks
This article examines the implications of the metaphor of the ‘vocabulary network’. It takes a formal approach to the exploration of this metaphor by applying the principles of Graph Theory to word association data in order to compare the relative densities of first language (L1) and second language (L2) lexical networks. Earlier graph theoretical research into L2 word associations is reviewed and methodological flaws in this work discussed. It d…
Langue non‐sexiste et politique éditoriale
This article investigates the extent to which the concept of non‐sexist language has been accepted and put into practice by the press in France. The chief readers of Le Monde and Libération were interviewed to determine their level of sensitivity to non‐sexist language. The editorial teams of both newspapers have recognised the need to address this controversial issue and are including guidelines on the use of feminised professional terms in thei…
