Sentence Processing Among Native vs. Nonnative Speakers: Implications for Critical Period Hypothesis
The present study intended to investigate the processing behavior of 2 groups of L2 learners of English (high and mid in proficiency) and a group of English native speakers on English active and passive reduced relative clauses. Three sets of tasks, an offline task, and 2 online tasks were conducted. Results revealed that the high-proficiency group’s performance was the same as that of the nati...
متن کاملA Study of Pitch Patterns of Sentence Utterances by Japanese Speakers of English in Comparison with Native Speakers of English
This paper describes statistical analyses for identifying certain inherent ambiguities on pitch patterns of sentence utterances in English spoken by Japanese (Japanese English, henceforth). Statistical significance of pitch pattern differences between Japanese English and native English speakers is evaluated depending on the word position in a sentence and the word class, such as content word a...
متن کاملStructural Priming as Structure-Mapping: Children Use Analogies From Previous Utterances to Guide Sentence Production
What mechanisms underlie children's language production? Structural priming--the repetition of sentence structure across utterances--is an important measure of the developing production system. We propose its mechanism in children is the same as may underlie analogical reasoning: structure-mapping. Under this view, structural priming is the result of making an analogy between utterances, such t...
متن کاملA Two-step Approach to Sentence Compression of Spoken Utterances
This paper presents a two-step approach to compress spontaneous spoken utterances. In the first step, we use a sequence labeling method to determine if a word in the utterance can be removed, and generate n-best compressed sentences. In the second step, we use a discriminative training approach to capture sentence level global information from the candidates and rerank them. For evaluation, we ...
متن کاملNasalance in utterances of hearing-impaired speakers.
Instrumental comparisons of sound from the nose and mouth expressed in percent nasalance, articulation errors, and speech rate are used in this study to contrast utterances of 50 speakers with severe hearing impairment and 64 with normal hearing. Results of the study revealed that 54% of the hearing-impaired subjects had nasalance ratio scores greater than two standard deviations above the mean...
