The Banach-Mazur distance between l2 ® l2 and l2 ® l2 is shown to be of the order Vmin(«,m) . Our proof yields that the distance between the trace classes c¡¡ and c¡¡ is of the same order as d(l£, l£). In this note we determine the distances between some tensor products of Euclidean spaces l2, k = 1, 2 ... . Let E, F be finite dimensional Banach spaces over the real field. The Banach-Mazur dist...

Recent reports suggest that nuclear domain(s) 10 (ND10) is the site of papillomavirus morphogenesis. The viral genome replicates in or close to ND10. In addition, the minor capsid protein, L2, accumulates in these subnuclear structures and recruits the major capsid protein, L1. We have now used cell lines deficient for promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein, the main structural component of ND10,...

In the scientific literature, symbols L1 (Language 1) and L2 2) are used to indicate sequence of languages. most countries, is understood as a first language, it usually coincides with mother tongue. The other languages learned later. This can be seen in children multilingual parents. Teaching second foreign language covers everything student hears sees new language. includes variety discourse ...

Abstract Increased attention has been directed toward utilizing visual modes because linguistic cannot accurately depict L2 learners’ metaphorical conceptions of their language-acquisition experiences. The goal this study was to investigate the mental images that Saudi EFL students may have in mind while learning a foreign language. To end, both verbal and nonverbal were investigated. An experi...

Assimilatory phonetic drift in L1 has been shown to occur in early second language learners when separate L2 categories have not been established. The direction and likelihood of drift is affected by degree of L1:L2 difference [2], and the need to maintain L1 distinctions [10]. We assessed the impact of explicit L2 phonetic training on L1:L2 interaction when novel L2 sounds could lead to a more...

Title of dissertation: AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION OF SEMANTIC REPRESENTATION DURING SECOND LANGUAGE PROCESSING Written by: Sun Young Ahn, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Directed by: Professor Nan Jiang Department of Second Language Acquisition The present study is motivated by two questions. First, can late learners of a second language (L2), who begin learning after puberty and are unbalanced bilinguals...

Following an extensive overview of the subject, this study explores the relationships between secondlanguage (L2) explicit/implicit knowledge sources, embedded in the declarative/procedural memory systems, and L2 working memory (WM) capacity. It further examines the relationships between L2 reading comprehension and L2 WM capacity as well as those between L2 reading comprehension and L2 explici...

This paper discusses some of the general issues that involve the relationship between memory and L2 comprehension by focusing on the roles of auditory short-term memory (STM) in L2 listening processes. Specific research questions to be addressed here are: 1) What processes are involved in L2 listening comprehension?, 2) What roles does memory play in L1 and L2 listening comprehension processes?...
