In this paper I consider three technical arguments in logic which have been held by various authors at diverse times to have consequences for the philosophy of mathematics. The first is Frege’s permutation argument, which Davidson (1979) has used to show that proper names have a determinate reference only in a relative sense. The second is the Löwenheim-Skolem theorem, which (like its close rel...

The path from sound to sense crosses several disciplinary boundaries. Unfortunately, compelling early demonstrations of categorical perception helped to create a historical wedge between speech and word recognition. This talk highlights some advantages of the reintegration of these fields. First, task-dependencies found in studies of speech perception suggest lexical processes as a more appropr...

There has been extensive discussion on the need to use corrective feedback in writing within foreign language learning. Essentially, is one of important tools improving students’ skills learning a language. This study aims find out preference and justification written (WCF) through Google Docs among instructors students higher institute. The effects direct indirect with metalinguistic comments ...

Background. Writing is a complex skill, even more so, if the student does not handle generic structure of institutionalized practices imposed on Higher Education.
 Purpose. The purpose this study to determine effectiveness direct and metalinguistic focused written corrective feedback (WCF) information structuring connectors.
 Methods. This quantitative compares WCF in 39 subjects who ...

This study uses linguistic output to identify cognitive processes of language learning, i.e. the internalization of specific language components and metalinguistic or metacognitive learning mechanisms. Given that these processes are present in discourse production, they indicate a significant role of speech production in foreign language learning. Furthermore, they serve as predictors of learni...

The sway of the pendulum in language pedagogy towards conscious learning processes marks the paramount role of metalinguistic awareness. The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to compare the impact of teacher-oriented vs. learner-generated metalinguistic awareness activities on Iranian TEFL students’ writing accuracy. Sixty participants in three intact classes were randomly assigned a...

This study compared sentence acceptability judgments from young and healthy older adults and older adults with dementia due to probable Alzheimer's disease. Two types of sentences were contrasted: one type involved contrasts among verb alternations in which semantic distinctions between verbs regulate the acceptability of phrase structure variations; the second type involved contrasts among dir...
