This study examines use of mobile 4 Pics 1 Word application (app) to support English learning. seeks investigate students’ perceptions app vocabulary class, specifically terms its benefits. Using a qualitative case design, 40 EFL students attending junior high school Medan...

The class of nitely locally threshold testable !-languages is proved to be decidable relatively to the class of all regular !-languages. We apply this to the monadic second order theory of innnite word structures with successor function: it is decidable whether for a given monadic second-order formula there exists a rst-order formula with the same set of innnite word models.

Differences in the oscillatory EEG dynamics of reading open class (OC) and closed class (CC) words have previously been found (Bastiaansen et al., 2005) and are thought to reflect differences in lexical-semantic content between these word classes. In particular, the theta-band (4-7 Hz) seems to play a prominent role in lexical-semantic retrieval. We tested whether this theta effect is robust in...

Word frequency and lexical class distinction between function and content words have been shown to significantly influence word production. In this paper, we use real-time magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the effect of word frequency and lexical class on articulatory characteristics (the articulator speed) as well as acoustic characteristics (F0 and short-term energy) in word productio...

In this article an alternative way of accounting for the distribution of Word length as measured in terms of number of syllables per Word in texts of certain natural languages will be explored. A Standard synergetic account of word length distribution has been developed and investigated in depth by Altmann, Köhler, Wimmer and others (cf. Wimmer et al., 1994). In this approach, certain mathemati...

Previous research on open- and closed-class words has revealed the existence of several differences in the processing of these types of vocabulary. In this paper the processing of open- and closed-class words was compared by means of an early electrical brain response, recognition potential (RP), which indexes semantic processing and originates from basal extrastriate areas. The effects of word...

objectives: stuttering is one of the most prevalent speech and language disorders. symptomology of stuttering has been surveyed from different aspects such as biological, developmental, environmental, emotional, learning and linguistic. previous researches in english-speaking people have suggested that some linguistic features such as word meanings may play a role in the frequency of speech non...

Kambaata, a Cushitic language of Ethiopia, has productive, word-class changing approximation derivation. The process marked by the suffix -lab takes adjectival, nominal and verbal roots as inputs generates approximatives that belong to adjective word class, whose members are characterised their agreement behaviour in NP. meaning Kambaata is dependent on class its input. Deadjectival express vag...
