  • Demographic Effects on Longitudinal Semantic Processing, Working Memory, and Cognitive Speed

    Open AccessJet M J Vonk, Eve Higby et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2020References: 2

    Separate domains show varying effects of age and education at baseline, language versus cognitive domains show dissimilar patterns of age-related change over time, and education does not moderate the rate of decline in these domains. These findings broaden our understanding of age effects on cognitive and language abilities by placing observed age differences in context

  • Effects of Hypertension and Diabetes on Sentence Comprehension in Aging

    Dalia Cahana-Amitay, Martin L Albert et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2012References: 3

    The presence of hypertension and diabetes adversely affected sentence comprehension, but the relative contribution of each was different. These findings support the researchers' earlier speculations on the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the effects of hypertension and diabetes on language and cognition in aging. Uncontrolled disease status demonstrated more complicated age-related effects on sentence processing, highlighting the clinical i…

  • Verbal structure and content in written discourse

    Hrafnhildur Ragnarsdóttir, Melina Aparici et al.ARTICLEWritten Language & Literacy2002

    This paper forms a bridge between the article on noun phrase patterning by Ravid et al. 2002 and that on passive voice constructions by Jisa et al. 2002. The study reports on a cross-linguistic, developmental study of verbal structures and verb types used in two genres of written discourse: personal narratives and expository texts. The study is aimed at (a) establishing the profile of linguistic features that characterize and differentiate these …

  • Clause packaging in writing and speech

    Ludo Verhoeven, Melina Aparici et al.ARTICLEWritten Language & Literacy2002

    This article analyses clause packaging in the written narrative and expository texts in Dutch, English, French, Hebrew, and Spanish by grade-school children and adults. A “clause package” is defined as a text unit consisting of clauses linked by syntactic, thematic, and discursive criteria. Our study attempts to arrive at an understanding of cross-linguistic universals in the distribution of clause-package types as a function of Genre and Modalit…

  • Segmentation marking in text production

    Open AccessIrit Katzenberger, Dalia Cahana-AmitayARTICLELinguistics2002Cited by: 4References: 12

    This study considers marking of text segmentation in written and spoken monologic texts in the narrative and expository genres from a developmental perspective. Our sample consists of 320 texts produced by schoolchildren aged 9-10, 12-13, and 16-17, and adult university graduates. Our aim was to identify structural positions in a text (e.g. text opening), in order to ascertain their discourse functions in that context (e.g. introduction) and to e…
