The role of morphological awareness in reading achievement among young Chinese-speaking English language learners: a longitudinal study
The present study examined the development of morphological awareness and its contribution to vocabulary and reading comprehension among young Chinese-speaking English language learners (ELLs). We focused on two aspects of morphological awareness: derivational awareness and compound awareness. Participants included 46 kindergarteners (younger cohort) and 34 first graders (older cohort) of Chine...
متن کاملCompounds, learning mechanisms, and the continuity hypothesis in language acquisition
Nobody denies that the input plays an important role in language acquisition, but the issue as to whether the input is sufficient to drive language learning is still a matter of debate. In this paper we examine children’s acquisition of synthetic compounds in English and Dutch. Despite having necessarily different input, Dutchand English-speaking children produce the same set of non-adult forms...
متن کاملProcessing of zero-derived words in English: An fMRI investigation
Derivational morphological processes allow us to create new words (e.g. punish (V) to noun (N) punishment) from base forms. The number of steps from the basic units to derived words often varies (e.g., nationality<national<nation: two-steps) and there is evidence that complex derivations cause more brain activity than simple ones (Meinzer, Lahiri, Flaisch, Hannemann, & Eulitz, 2009). However, a...

متن کاملA Derivational Account for Sorani Kurdish Passives
In this paper we propose a new analysis for Sorani Kurdish passive formation. We argue that passivisation in Sorani Kurdish actually is a derivational process and propose four arguments supporting this claim. Within lexicalist approaches to morphosyntax, the question whether to treat passivisation as an inflectional or a derivational process has often been raised. The traditional treatment of p...
