Abstract In the Jê languages standard negators tend to take a post-verbal position. This paper asks why this should be case and therefore discusses earlier accounts relating either negative verbs or privative postpositions. We argue that these do not have exclude each other. particular, we propose an existential negator can reanalyzed as one. also if origin of is verb with meaning ‘finish’, may...

Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded during a picture naming task of simple and complex words in children with typical speech and with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). Results reveal reduced amplitude prior to speaking complex (multisyllabic) words relative to simple (monosyllabic) words for the CAS group over the right hemisphere during a time window thought to reflect phonological ...

The present research examined whether a communicator's verbal, implicit message regarding a target is used as a cue for inferring that communicator's social identity. Previous research has found linguistic intergroup bias (LIB) in individuals' speech: They use abstract language to describe in-group targets' desirable behaviors and concrete language to describe their undesirable behaviors (favor...

In 1957, Skinner, in his "Verbal Behavior", proposed an explanation on how a language is learned. In 1959, Chomsky strongly argued the non-learnability of language, establishing in the field of developmental psycholinguistics the substitution of the term "learning" for that of "acquisition". Currently, the constructivist models describe language acquisition as a process of ontogenetic, gradual,...

The that-trace effect is the fact that many languages (like English) ban extraction of embedded-clause subjects but not objects over an overt complementizer like that, while other Spanish) allow such extractions. and its cross-linguistic variation have been subject intense research remain largely a mystery, with no clear consensus on their underpinnings. We contribute novel evidence to these de...

Embedded validity measures can screen for possible noncredible performance, but there is a paucity of literature with youth who have neurological disorders. The purpose of this study is to examine the California Verbal Learning Test, Children's Version (CVLT-C) recognition discriminability (RD) score as an embedded validity marker in a sample of youth with neurological diagnoses. Youth between ...
