The systematic study of EAP teachers’ pedagogic content knowledge and their actual teaching practices in class is a fresh avenue in applied linguistics, especially in contexts like Iran, where, EAP courses are taught by two groups of teachers with different specializations; i.e., language teachers and content teachers. This study explored the similarities and differences between language teache...

Using cross country data, we explore the role of linguistic structures for financial development countries. Specially, investigate if future time reference (FTR), requirement an obligatory tense marking in languages, matters or not. Our results show that countries speaking weak FTR language a not needing dedicated have enhanced relative to strong language. Discounting less having connection bet...

Content and Language Integrated Learning signifies studying a core subject (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering so on) while simultaneously language. It means integrating the two, with each serving purpose of other. (CLIL) is increasingly being used worldwide as it centers not only on content but language both at same time. There no without there This quantitative study discusses use C...

Although the core element in CLIL and immersion programmes is integration of content language, it challenging to achieve a balance between two meet dual-objective CLIL. Research on beliefs teachers have about way they understand role language their classes crucial that balance. In Basque Autonomous Community (BAC), multilingual region Spain, schools are implementing order improve students’ Engl...

In all languages, sentences convey information that allows people to locate situations in time. Languages vary: some have tense and tense-like forms, others do not. I will suggest general pragmatic principles to account for how temporal location works in language. The principles have different realizations according to the forms that are syntactically obligatory in a given language. I will begi...

Networks of evolutionary processors (NEPs) are distributed word rewriting systems typically viewed as language generators. Each node contains a set of words, a set of operations (typically insertion, deletion or rewriting of one symbol with another one), an input filter and an output filter. The purpose of this paper is to overview existing models of NEPs, their variants and developments. In pa...

All natural languages allow reference to places, expression of spatial relations and localization of objects and events. The specific devices which they have developed to that purpose vary considerably. This may also be true for the underlying concept of space (Malotki, 1979), but there are some general features, as well. Two of them are particularly relevant to the question of how human experi...
