Abstract:
This dissertation seeks to deepen understanding towards language change by answering three questions: What is the unit of change? What is the manner of change? What are the factors of change? Three cases of linguistic innovation in the Chinese language are examined. Adopting a usage-based approach, I analyze the language data of these three linguistic innovations, and the results provide unanimous answers to the three questions. First, the basic unit of language change is a construction, and it can be of any length, such as phrasal, clausal or discourse-length. Second, these cases of linguisti

Abstract:
The suggestion that bilinguals show enhanced cognitive control compared to monolinguals in certain aspects of executive function has received much contention. While this has been explained as a result of the extensive training in bilinguals having to manage the conflict that arises from their concurrently active langauges, others have argued that the superiority in executive control is attenuated when background variables such as immigration status, education and general cognitive ability is taken into account. This thesis was motivated by the general question: How is executive control influen

Abstract:
Effective communication in a foreign language depends on more than knowing the rules of its lexicon, grammar, and phonology. It involves the processing of cultural as well as linguistic knowledge. Any form of communication (and language is one form of communication) has its own strategies. The strategies of language communication vary systematically across languages and cultures. The differences in the general ethos of one community as compared to another lead to differences in the strategies of communication, as certain aspects of the communicative properties of languages might be culture- an

Abstract:
Nonword repetition is a widely used measure of phonological working memory (PWM) especially in research into vocabulary development. However, evidence exists to suggest that measures of PWM are also influenced by long-term memory (LTM) (e.g. Watkins, 1977) and echoic memory (Frankish, 1996). Others have also suggested a role for linguistic skills in nonword repetition tests (Snowling, Chiat & Hulme, 1991; Frankish, 1996). The aim of this research is to examine the memory and linguistic factors related to nonword repetition test performance in 4, 5 and 6 year old children as this is an age wher

Abstract:
The mapping of acoustic speech signals onto linguistic representations is highly complex, and a number of competing models of both system architecture and auditory processing mechanisms have been proposed. Detailed investigation of processing in both normal and aphasic listeners provides insights into the nature of the underlying processing mechanisms, and can be used to test the empirical validity of theoretical models. Three related experiments were designed to explore aspects of the complex interrelations between phonetic, lexical and semantic levels of representation in the auditory speech

Abstract:
From the late 1950s to about 1970, philosophers of education began to adopt a mode of philosophizing characterized as "the linguistic turn," after a similar change in general philosophy. This involved a move away from the older "isms" approach rooted in metaphysics towards linguistic and conceptual analysis. The linguistic turn has been attributed to intellectual history--the influence of ideas on a field. The central argument of this study, however, is that during the 1950s, factors external to academia, but acting upon it, interacted with concerns by educational philosophers themselves to cr

Trilingualism is a relatively new research field, which has often been studied within the framework established for bilingualism.

However, the precise nature of this process is still unclear.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the factors influencing the adaptation of foreign words to English, beyond traditional phonological parameters such as sonority distance. The data examined were produced in an on-line adaptation task to study purely linguistic rather than orthographic or historical influences. The adapted words contain only lesser-studied phonotactic problems rather than segmental ill-formedness. The choice of Russian as a donor and English as a borrowing language allow the study of adaptations in a setting which allows a further strategy of alteration of ill-formed consonant clusters

Abstract:
L’accent en français est un phénomène largement étudié, mais qui ne cesse de donner lieu à des hypothèses multiples, et dont la présence en français contemporain est même mise en question par de nombreux chercheurs. Ainsi subsiste-t-il dans ce domaine un important champ de travail scientifique, permettant d’élaborer et d’appliquer de nouvelles méthodes pour l'examen des données relevant de cette problématique avec l'objectif d’en tirer des conclusions novatrices. L'objectif est donc ici d'abord de bien délimiter le champ de travail, mais aussi en même temps d'étudier ce phénomène en corrélatio

Abstract:
Dual number marked on personal pronouns and verbal agreement suffixes disappeared in the majority of Slavic languages except for three - Slovenian, Upper Sorbian, and Lower Sorbian. Previous studies do not provide a principled account why (i) the monomorphemic dual was reanalyzed as bimorphemic in Slovenian, Upper, and Lower Sorbian, and why (ii) it was replaced by the plural in the majority of Slavic languages including Russian and Kashubian. In this dissertation, I investigate diachronic changes in the morphosyntactic category of the Slavic dual which occurred in the 11th-15th centuries. In

Abstract:
This thesis sets out to identify and examine two research questions: (a) is it desirable and (b) is it practicable to have an English language syllabus based on the language and communication needs o~ engineering students? These questions are examined in relation to students' negative attitudes to language and the decline in motivation. The methods used to gather data are through the questionnaire, interviews and observation. Thus, Chapter 1 gives the background history o~ the University o~ Malawi and its role in national development. It discusses the role and status o~ English in Malawi and t

Abstract:
This study used a questionnaire given to four classes of beginning Spanish to examine students’ motivations and attitudes towards learning a foreign language. Results show that although students do not regularly encounter individuals who do not speak English and therefore have little opportunity to practice language outside the classroom, their attitudes are overwhelmingly positive towards foreign language and culture. Most participants strongly agree that bilingualism is important and report they would want to be fluent in at least two languages.

Abstract:
Esta obra investiga el lenguaje soez. Para empezar, se establece lo que compone el lenguaje soez. Luego, se presenta una breve historia del uso del lenguaje soez a lo largo de la civilizacion y como varia dependiendo de la cultura. Tambien, se discute como el lenguaje soez es percibido por las personas en general, y como afecta nuestras decisiones linguisticas y fomenta regulaciones gubernamentales. Esta obra no solo examina el papel del lenguaje soez en la sociedad, como usamos "obscenidades" en circunstancias diferentes, sino tambien como estas obscenidades funcionan dentro del lenguaje mism
