Code-switching in Bilingual Children

Code-switching in Bilingual Children by Katja F. Cantone
English | PDF (True) | 2007 | 288 Pages | ISBN : 1402057830 | 3.1 MB

This study investigates the issue of code-switching in young bilingual children, in particular, intra-sentential switches, that is, mixing within an utterance. The data come from five bilingual Italian/German ch- dren (age 1;8 to 5 years), who grew up in Hamburg, Germany. The term bilingual is used in order to describe a person who has been exposed to both languages from birth on (Meisel 1989:20). Hence, this work is placed within the research field of Bilingual First Language Acquisition. The present book discusses three main issues. The first assumption concerns language mixing in young bilingual children. Differently from former studies on mixing in children, I claim that bilingual children’s mixed utterances should be analyzed in the same way as adult mixing. I further argue that child grammar is organized in the same way as adult grammar.

Parsing the Turing Test: Philosophical and Methodological Issues in the Quest for the Thinking Computer

Parsing the Turing Test: Philosophical and Methodological Issues in the Quest for the Thinking Computer by Robert Epstein, Gary Roberts, Grace Beber
English | PDF | 2009 | 519 Pages | ISBN : 1402067089 | 9.4 MB

Parsing the Turing Test is a landmark exploration of both the philosophical and methodological issues surrounding the search for true artificial intelligence. Will computers and robots ever think and communicate the way humans do? When a computer crosses the threshold into self-consciousness, will it immediately jump into the Internet and create a World Mind? Will intelligent computers someday recognize the rather doubtful intelligence of human beings? Distinguished psychologists, computer scientists, philosophers, and programmers from around the world debate these weighty issues – and, in effect, the future of the human race – in this important volume.

Specificational and Presentational There-Clefts: Redefining the Field of Clefts

Specificational and Presentational There-Clefts: Redefining the Field of Clefts

Specificational and Presentational There-Clefts: Redefining the Field of Clefts by Kristin Davidse , Ngum Meyuhnsi Njende , Gerard O'Grady
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 192 Pages | ISBN : 303132269X | 5.7 MB

This book proposes a radically new account of clefts in English. Since the 1960s, functional as well as formal linguists have generally restricted clefts to constructions with an identifying matrix (it-clefts) and have claimed that they only code information structure. Clefts are assumed to unpack a simple proposition into a focus – presupposition structure. In this book, the authors reject these theoretical-descriptive assumptions, arguing instead that clefts form a field comprising it-clefts, there-clefts and ‘have’-clefts.

The Effects of Bilingualism on Non-Linguistic Cognition: A Historic Perspective

The Effects of Bilingualism on Non-Linguistic Cognition: A Historic Perspective by Jennifer Mattschey
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 136 Pages | ISBN : 3031346807 | 2.9 MB

This book examines a century of research on the relationship between bilingualism and intelligence and relates it to more recent research on bilingualism and executive functioning. In doing so, it highlights how bilingualism research has been understood and used by wider society and its impact on current debates in cognitive science as well as language policy and education.

Aspectual Inquiries by Paula Kempchinsky, Roumyana Slabakova
English | PDF | 2005 | 456 Pages | ISBN : 1402030320 | 34.4 MB

The study of the linguistic reflexes of aspect has been an active field of research in various sub-disciplines of linguistics, such as syntax, semantics (including discourse theory) and acquisition studies. However, communication and dissemination of results across these various subfields has often been indirect. The different angles brought together give us a comprehensive picture of the representation of aspect in the mind/brain of the speaker.

English as a Lingua Franca in Migrants' Trauma Narratives by Maria Grazia Guido
English | PDF | 2018 | 233 Pages | ISBN : 1137582995 | 1.7 MB

This book examines how trauma is experienced and narrated differently across languages and cultures, drawing on rich ethnographic case studies and a novel cognitive-linguistic approach to analyse the variations of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) used in the narratives of West-African migrants and refugees in the course of intercultural encounters with Italian experts in from domain-specific fields of discourse (including legal, medical, religious and cultural professionals). It examines the ways in which such experts interpret the migrants’ trauma narratives by applying discourse conventions from within their communities of practice, as well as their own native linguacultural norms.

Complex Syntax in the Language of Persons with Down Syndrome

Complex Syntax in the Language of Persons with Down Syndrome by Helen Goodluck
English | EPUB | 2022 | 124 Pages | ISBN : 3030964396 | 2.9 MB

This book examines the language abilities of persons with Down Syndrome who are able to read. The text defends the ‘delayed but not deviant view’ of linguistic abilities by examining a range of syntactic phenomena that develop at different points for typically developing children, and for which a similar overall pattern is found for persons with Down Syndrome. The volume also defends the ‘delayed but not deviant view’ against challenges arising from studies of the comprehension of definite pronouns. The study fits within a picture of linguistic abilities that is modular: skills with language do not emerge from other cognitive functions. It is an important source of information for readers in the departments of linguistics, speech and language therapy, and cognitive science.
