Abstract:

Our current knowledge about the relationship between linguistic skills and psychological disorders is somewhat diffuse. One reason is because it is difficult to investigate this relationship without including conditions that clearly influence the results in one way or another (e.g. culture, environment, socioeconomic class etc). This study aims to investigate the relationship in an attempt to highlight a potential link. By using the lens of several fields altogether; cognitive science, linguistics, neuroscience, neurocognition, this study shed light on the relationship and encourage further st

Much prior research has shown that if students have a poor command of the language in which they are taught and assessed, they experience a complex and deep learning disadvantage (Barton & Neville-Barton, 2003).

The purpose of this thesis is to explore the use of conceptual metaphors in political speeches by Donald Trump and Nigel Farage. Conceptual metaphor theory is applied as the framework for the study. Metaphorical linguistic expressions are identified with help of the method Metaphor Identification Procedure (MIP). The conceptual metaphors giving rise to the metaphorical linguistic expressions are identified and categorized into different domains in the study. The analysis demonstrates that the use of metaphors is ubiquitous. The metaphors related to the salient domains of politics, nation, immi

Therefore, the overarching aim of this research is to make a significant contribution to knowledge about the linguistic and cognitive abilities of bilingual children with MLD.

Abstract:

As the number of coronavirus cases increased globally, governments started to introduce restrictive measures which many individuals had never experienced before. Heads of state started to use expressions referring to ‘war’, encouraging citizens to help the ‘fight’ against the ‘invisible enemy’. In the cognitive linguist approach, metaphors are believed to involve the ‘thinking’ as well as the ‘talking’ (or writing) of one thing in terms of another. That is, similarities (or correspondences) are perceived between two different ‘domains’ such as ‘covid-19’ and ‘war’. Therefore, ‘fighting the dis

The relationships between languages coming into contact for geo-political reasons or as a result of migratory movements give rise to multilingualism which is a precious phenomenon that must be supported.

The most adopted programs are the Foreign-Language teaching and the Immersion programs. The formers concern the integration of a language different from th

Abstract:

<p> Whether neural substrates underlying conflict resolution, or the ability to choose an appropriate response from number of alternate options, are shared across disparate domains is currently unclear. This thesis sought to extend previous studies examining this question by asking whether conflict adaptation occurs between Stroop (a non-syntactic task well-studied in the conflict resolution literature) and two different language tasks. Evidence for bidirectional behavioral interaction between processing of sentences with syntax-semantic conflict and Stroop was found in Experiment 1; however,

These findings are consistent with the literature. However, when reaction times (RTs) and error-types are considered, a different picture of the trajectory of acquisition emerges. The children's RTs did not pattern like adults until 10 to 14 years of age. They also avoided reversal-errors as consistently as adults only at 10 to 14 years of age. With regard to non-a

Abstract:

This study proposes a cognitive network model of the Japanese locative postpositions ni and de (both are translated in English 'in'/'on'/'at') by examining a spoken and written corpus. Specifically, this study examines the implications of Langacker's (1987, 1988, 1999, 2000) dynamic usage-based model by investigating natural discourse data. Within the framework of Cognitive Grammar, it is argued that ni in the spatial domain has two basic usages: (1) stative location and (2) allative (Kabata 2000). The allative ni is a more case marker-like postposition, while de is the prototypical postpositi

The primary intent of this thesis is to explore new avenues in semantic theory and how they might affect understanding of a selection of Biblical Hebrew vocabulary, namely that of cooking. As such, the method used here is equally important as the results discovered. The underlying theory for this method finds it source in Cognitive Grammar and its use of profile-base-domain relations. These relations are illustrative of how the human mind perceives word meanings. Every aspect of meaning is to be understood against the backdrop of a greater context.

But the bilingual advantage is not consistently found in every experiment and may reflect specific attributes of the bilinguals tested.

The bilingual advantage may arise from managing interference from one language in order to

Abstract:

Several theorists (amongst whom Halliday & Matthiessen, 2004:175) have stated that the verb (or the verbal group) is the core element in clauses and is largely responsible for the grammatical structure of language. In spite of this pivotal role that verbs fulfil in clauses, lexical specificity is rarely investigated in this class. Instead researchers prefer to investigate lexical specificity in the noun class. It is against this background that the main purpose of this study is to investigate specificity in the lexical verbs of first language (L1) English users and Black South African English

According the linguistic relativity hypothesis, the language one speaks affects how one thinks. Because languages differ in how they categorize color, linguistic relativity has often been tested by conducting experiments on color perception and memory.

Because Russian-speakers are more likely to describe blue/grey eyes as grey, whereas English speakers are more likely to describe them as blue, English and Russian participants were asked to match the overall color of blue eyes to a color
