Abstract:
The linguistic relativity hypothesis (LRH), otherwise known as the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis (SWH), has been passionately debated over the last 60 years. It has undergone a renewed upsurge in scientific, anthropological and social interest. Several attempts have been made to prove or disprove the moderate version of the theory without producing conclusive results. This study analyses the history of the LRH and attempts to clarify its uses and limitations pertaining to ESL discourse in Swedish upper-secondary schools. Pedagogical implications of the study indicate that, if the LRH is correct, there could be a colossal, logistical impact on the national testing of semantic information in English studies which would have to be addressed in order to effectively and fairly assess every student based on their individual, cognitive skills and culturally influenced knowledge of language.

Abstract:
English and Ndonga-speaking Namibian children completed three tasks designed to investigate colour term usage. English children used separate terms for the focal examples of the eleven universal colour categories BLACK, WHITE, RED, GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE, BROWN, PINK, PURPLE, ORANGE and GREY (Berlin and Kay 1969). In contrast, Namibian children used separate terms for just the first six categories, in some cases these terms were extended to examples of the remaining categories but children often responded that they did not know the names of pink and purple colours. Experiments varying in the degree to which naming strategies might be useful, were conducted to test the linguistic relativity hypothesis, that differences in naming are paralleled by differences in performance on cognitive tasks. Four- to seven-year-old children participated in colour-based recognition memory, grouping, odd-one-out and visual search tasks. There was an overall similarity in children's performance, with both groups' responses relating to the perceptual similarity between stimuli. However, significant differences were found in the types of memory confusions made, the stimuli which children grouped together and odd- one-out choices, in each case differences were consistent with the linguistic differences between the groups. The most perceptual of the tasks, visual search, also revealed a significant difference in children's response times when identifying targets in an array of distractors. The results support the linguistic relativity hypothesis and are consistent with both of the accounts of linguistic effects suggested by Davies and Corbett (1997). Children may use explicit naming strategies or effects may be due to the perceptual warping of colour space. The lack of clear age effects and the results of the visual search task support the latter interpretation but further research needs to be conducted to establish whether young children actively use naming strategies during these tasks.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to provide a global overview on the studies that have been carried out on the relationship between language, culture and thought. Specifically, the first part will focus on the belief at the core of this subject, Linguistic Relativity, while the second part will analyse the field of second language acquisition, which appears to often intertwine with the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. After a short introduction, a brief overview of previous research is provided. In particular, the claims of Aristotle, von Humboldt and Boas are illustrated more in detail. Then, the focus is shifted towards the figures and claims of Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf. The hypothesis of Linguistic Relativity is further explained, pointing to the two principles which stem from it (the weak and the strong version, i.e., linguistic determinism). The belief that each language deeply affects its speaker’s cognition (resulting in differences in patterns of thought and cognitive structures) is consequently illustrated. A review of some of the objections that have been moved against this hypothesis follow. After that, a general overview on subsequent studies is provided, drawing the attention towards some of the main domains around which research has revolved: colour perception and grammatical gender and number. Lastly, the field of second language acquisition is outlined. The main focus concerns the implications of Linguistic Relativity for this field and a summary of the research that has been carried out on this topic, again offering a deeper insight on some of the most well-researched areas: colour terms and perception, grammatical gender and number and the interpretation of motion events.

Full text
Abstract:

This work concerns the linguistic relativity hypothesis, also known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which, in its most general form claims that ‘lan-guage’ influences ‘thought’. Past studies into linguistic relativity have treated various aspects of both thought and language, but a growing body of literature has recently emerged, in this thesis referred to as neo-Whorfian, that empirically investigates thought and language from a cross-linguistic perspective and claims that the grammar or lexicon of a particular language influences the speakers’ non-linguistic thought.

The present thesis examines the assumptions about language that underlie this claim and criticizes the neo-Whorfian arguments from the point of view that they are based on misleading notions of language. The critique focuses on the operationalization of thought, language, and culture as separate vari-ables in the neo-Whorfian empirical investigations. The neo-Whorfian stud-ies explore language primarily as ‘particular languages’ and investigate its role as a variable standing in a causal relation to the ‘thought’ variable. Tho-ught is separately examined in non-linguistic tests and found to ‘correlate’ with language.

As a contrast to the neo-Whorfian view of language, a few examples of other approaches to language, referred to in the thesis as sociocultural appro-aches, are reviewed. This perspective on language places emphasis on prac-tice and communication rather than on particular languages, which are vie-wed as secondary representations. It is argued that from a sociocultural per-spective, language as an integrated practice cannot be separated from tho-ught and culture. The empirical findings in the neo-Whorfian studies need not be rejected, but they should be interpreted differently. The findings of linguistic and cognitive diversity reflect different communicational practices in which language cannot be separated from non-language.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter reviews the evolution of the linguistic relativity hypothesis and how it was dismissed. The opponents of linguistic relativity misinterpreted the hypothesis itself and research results. With new interpretations and more scientific research findings, the hypothesis has gained rekindled interest in recent years. Empirical evidence for linguistic relativity is reviewed from the perspectives of first language influences on cognition, including color, motion, number, time, objects, and nonlinguistic representations, and from the prism of cross-linguistic influences. The chapter drives the discussion from linguistic relativity to the introduction to script relativity. The chapter ends with the claim that, among other factors that can explain cross-linguistic and cross-scriptal influences, script relativity has the greatest competitive plausibility to explain the consequences of reading.

Abstract:
Abstract Using the universal grammar of reading and the system accommodation hypothesis (Perfetti, 2003) as theoretical frameworks, this chapter reviews a wide range of linguistic evidence that supports script relativity. Universality and specificity found according to script features are discussed with respect to the operating principle (alphabet vs. logography), psycholinguistic gran size (phoneme vs. syllable), graph configuration (linearity vs. block), symbolic representation (arbitrariness vs. iconic quality), graph complexity (traditional characters vs. simplified characters), and multi-script representation (phonogram Kana vs. Ideogram Kanji). Linguistic skills associated with reading in terms of orthography, phonology, morphology as well as cross-linguistic and cross-scriptal transfer are reviewed. Next, based on the reviewed literature, each criterion for causality from script to cognition through reading as a multifaceted cognitive activity is checked. Although the existing literature did not aim to directly test script relativity, research findings collectively suggest script effects on readers’ thought and cognition.

Abstract:
Naive neural dialogue generation models tend to produce repetitive and dull utterances. The promising adversarial models train the generator against a well-designed discriminator to push it to improve towards the expected direction. However, assessing dialogues requires consideration of many aspects of linguistics, which are difficult to be fully covered by a single discriminator. To address it, we reframe the dialogue generation task as a multi-objective optimization problem and propose a novel adversarial dialogue generation framework with multiple discriminators that excel in different objectives for multiple linguistic aspects, called AMPGAN, whose feasibility is proved by theoretical derivations. Moreover, we design an adaptively adjusted sampling distribution to balance the discriminators and promote the overall improvement of the generator by continuing to focus on these objectives that the generator is not performing well relatively. Experimental results on two real-world datasets show a significant improvement over the baselines.

Dysphemisms are a multidimensional phenomenon consisting of vulgar or socially unaccepted words. The paper aims to analyse ethnic slurs from the perspective of political correctness, a relatively recent phenomenon that requires the use of a certain type of vocabulary according to various linguistic taboos. The corpus consists of a series of ethnonyms investigated in communicative contexts taken from the written press. The theoretical support of the research is based on socio-, pragma- and psycholinguistics.

Full text
Abstract:
Subject-object asymmetry in wh-subextraction is relevant in many languages, but the degree of subject opacity is not crosslinguistically uniform and can differ within one language. In (Polinsky et al. 2013) two factors are found statistically significant in Russian dependent clauses: the type of verbal structure (unaccusative / unergative / transitive verb) and the position of a subject relatively to a verb (preverbal / postverbal). In this paper we investigate whether the effect of these variables is preserved in Russian monopredicative independent clauses. Using experimental data, we show that different types of subjects do differ in their island properties, however, contra (Polinsky et al. 2013), in the preverbal position they are significantly more transparent to subextraction.

Abstract:
L2 motivation has been proved by a plethora of studies to positively affect various domains of L2 learning, among which L2 vocabulary learning is relatively underexplored in the literature. This study, therefore, explores the characteristics of L2 vocabulary learning motivation by Chinese EFL learners and investigates how motivation relates to self-regulated learning strategies. The study employs a mixedmethod approach with 47 Chinese EFL learners. Two instruments, the motivation questionnaire and the learning strategies questionnaire were employed, and ten participants were interviewed with regard to self-regulated vocabulary learning. The results reveal the instrumentality (i.e. promotion and prevention) of Chinese EFL learners in vocabulary learning, which is related to their learning strategies and selfregulation.

Abstract:
Writing is a relatively recent cultural invention, and reading is a skill that requires years of instruction, dedication, and practice. My talk will consider how the nature of a writing system influences reading acquisition and skilled reading. I consider the nature of statistical regularities that characterize English orthography and show across several experiments that knowledge encoded in the skilled reading system mirrors these regularities. This analysis reveals that weaknesses in the relationship between spelling and sound give rise to powerful regularities between spelling and meaning that are critical for text comprehension. I conclude by thinking about how written language differs from spoken language and argue that these differences may be at the heart of human capacity for rapid, skilled reading.

Abstract:
The paper offers the results of experimental research into semantics of Russian adverbs nemnogo, neskolko, slegka, otchasti and English adverbs somewhat, a little, slightly, partly. Despite their rich syntactic potential and functional polyvalence, Russian adverbs are still relatively under-researched.The author relies on a complex research procedure based on hypothesisdeduction method (with semantic experiment as its integral part), corpus-based experiment and the analysis of search engine results. The preliminary stage of the research into the meaning of the adverbs consists in gathering information on their distribution, valence characteristics and all possible contexts. The author has studied about 2 500 examples and contexts. The results of this preliminary analysis enable to frame a hypothesis on the meaning of the linguistic units in question. Then the author proceeds to the experimental verification of the proposed hypotheses supported by Russian corpus-based experiment and the analysis of Google search results. The research findings result in stricter semantic descriptions of the adverbs in question.
