UNLABELLED This study examined the disfluent speech of 32 normally fluent monolingual, Spanish-speaking children from Puerto Rico. The total frequencies and types of speech disfluencies were examined in 15 children (8 girls and 7 boys) aged 3;5-4;0 years (M=3.76) and 17 children (8 girls and 9 boys) aged 5;0-5;5 years (M=5.18). When examining the total frequencies of speech disfluencies, result...

We define in this paper a certain notion of completeness for a wide class of commutative (pre)ordered monoids (from now on P.O.M.’s). This class seems to be the natural context for studying structures like measurable function spaces, equidecomposability types of spaces, partially ordered abelian groups and cardinal algebras. Then, we can prove that roughly speaking, spaces of measures with valu...

In this paper, the notion of generalized regular fuzzy irresolute, generalized regular fuzzy irresolute open  and generalized regular fuzzy irresolute closed maps in fuzzy  topological spaces are introduced and studied. Moreover, some separation axioms and $r$-GRF-separated sets are established. Also, the relations between generalized regular fuzzy continuous maps and generalized regular fuzzy ...

As a mixed-method study, this study investigated EFL test-takers’ perceptions of paired speaking tests and the role of interlocutor variables (i.e., peer interlocutor’s acquaintanceship, gender, and proficiency level) in pairing in a Cambridge English Language Assessment Open Center. The participants (N = 148), having experienced sitting either live paired speaking tests of Cambridge E...

Current approaches to radical democratic citizenship seek open up new spaces for political action and politicise ordinariness. However, a question remains as the extent which current include one of most overlooked groups: very young children. This article focuses on early childhood (0 8 years old), where rights are often violated activism is not always recognised, particularly in everyday publi...
