The purpose of the present study is to analyse abstracts related to Applied Linguistics, and more precisely the discourse functions of grammatical subjects and verbs. The corpus consisted of 50 PhD thesis abstracts written on the subject of Applied Linguistics. All of the abstracts were written from 2010 to 2014. The theses from which the abstracts were extracted are available in the ProQuest d...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between students‘ explicit knowledge in grammar and their translation ability. The importance of grammatical knowledge and its effectiveness in translation quality motivated the researcher to run this study and consider grammatical knowledge in Per- sian as the source language of Iranian students. It is clear that grammar is an area ...

In this note, it is proved that the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a balanced (q, {3, 4}, λ)-DF over GF (q) are q ≥ 4 and q ≡ 1 (mod 18 gcd(18,λ) ).

We wish to obtain information about BP̃LF ; in fact we can study BGF (which is purely homotopy theoretic) and the fibre GF /P̃LF of χ. In Chapter III we construct a map θ : GF /P̃LF−−→(G/PL) , where G/PL is the space studied in Sullivan’s thesis under the name F/PL, and (G/PL) is the space of all unbased maps from F to G/PL. Theorems 5,6 show that, under suitable conditions, θ is almost a homotopy...

Let R be a right GF -closed ring with finite left and right Gorenstein global dimension. We prove that if I is an ideal of R such that R/I is a semi-simple ring, then the Gorenstein flat dimension of R/I as a right R-module and the Gorenstein injective dimension of R/I as a left R-module are identical. In particular, we show that for a simple module S over a commutative Gorenstein ring R, the G...

BACKGROUND Specific language impairment (SLI) is a disorder in which language acquisition is impaired in an otherwise normally developing child. SLI affects around 7% of children. The existence of a purely grammatical form of SLI has become extremely controversial because it points to the existence and innateness of a putative grammatical subsystem in the brain. Some researchers dispute the exi...

Our model of sentence comprehension includes at least grammatical processes important for structure-building, and executive resources such as working memory that support these grammatical processes. We hypothesized that a core network of brain regions supports grammatical processes, and that additional brain regions are activated depending on the working memory demands associated with processin...

I provide an overview of current theories of scalar implicature: the pragmatic (or Gricean), the lexical and the grammatical theory. The empirical focus are global and local, but also intermediate implicatures. I argue that the grammatical theory is conceptually less well motivated than even a combination of the pragmatic and the lexical theory, and that the grammatical theory therefore require...

Grammatical words represent the part of grammar that can be most directly contrasted with the lexicon. Aphasiological studies, linguistic theories and psycholinguistic studies suggest that their processing is operated at different stages in speech production. Models of sentence production propose that at the formulation stage, lexical words are processed at the functional level while grammatica...

abstractthis study focused mainly on the shifts of the grammatical cohesion in texts translated from english into persian. it aimed to identify the grammatical cohesive devices (gcds) in st and tt separately, based on halliday and hassn's model (1976), determine the number of occurrences of gcds in two texts and finally, illustrate types of shifts of grammatical cohesion and strategies used in ...
