We propose an account for the acquisition of grammatical relations using the concepts of connectionist learning and a construction-based theory of grammar. The proposal is based on the observation that early production of childhood speech is formulaic and the assumption that the purpose of language is communication. If one assumes that children’s comprehension of multiword speech is not globall...

With the renewed interest in the field of second language learning for the knowledge of collocating words, research findings in favour of holistic processing of formulaic language could support the idea that these language units facilitate efficient language processing. This study investigated the difference between processing of a first language (L1) and a second language (L2) of congruent col...

Formulaic language, characterized by phraseological patterns such as lexical bundles, has been observed to significantly influence the discourse of speakers and writers. These tend differ across genres disciplines. However, examination formulaic language in evaluative genres, particularly different disciplines, relatively limited. This study aims explore use review feedback on manuscripts submi...

the pragmalinguistic and sociopragmatic aspects of language use vary across different situations, languages, and cultures. the separation of these two facets of language use can help to map out the socio-cultural norms and conventions as well as the linguistic forms and strategies that underlie the pragmatic performance of different language speakers in a variety of target language use situatio...

How did language evolve? A popular approach points to the similarities between the ontogeny and phylogeny of language. Young children's language and nonhuman primates' signing both appear formulaic with limited syntactic combinations, thereby suggesting a degree of continuity in their cognitive abilities. To evaluate the validity of this approach, as well as to develop a quantitative benchmark ...

Abstract This paper presents IdiomsTube ( https://www.idiomstube.com ), the first-ever computer-assisted language learning tool for facilitating of English idiomatic expressions from YouTube videos. The web-based is designed to automatically (1) assess speech rate and lexical difficulty level any learner-chosen English-captioned video; (2) generate a range vocabulary-building revision tasks (e....

The role of subcortical structures in language function is complex and dependent on language task, with studies increasingly showing subcortical involvement for the production of formulaic language, including recited speech. Individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD), with (n = 6) and without (n = 7) surgical treatment, deep brain stimulation (DBS), were compared to healthy adults (n = 14) to de...
