Book Synopsis Noun Combination in Interlanguage by : Christiane Bongartz
Download or read book Noun Combination in Interlanguage written by Christiane Bongartz and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-04-20 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph examines the effects of first language typology on the interlanguage of learners of English as a second language. Adapting William Rutherford's (1983) view of interlanguage as the typological intersection between the first language and the second language, the study demonstrates how first language effects subtly shape learner choices even at near native proficiency. Grounded in the tradition of transfer research and in the research program in generative grammar, the evidence presented shows the distribution of noun+noun compounds such as the love song and phrasal noun combinations such as the song about love in interlanguage data. These two patterns, it is argued, are systematically related by determiner properties and the process of noun incorporation. Obtained from a multi-task cross-sectional experiment, the data illustrates that learners with Czech as their first language use phrasal constructs (the song about love) significantly more often in production than learners with Mandarin Chinese as their first language, whose preferred choice are noun+noun compounds (the love song). The differences between the learner groups reflect the use of overt case marking in the first language Czech and the absence of overt case marking in the first language Mandarin Chinese.

Book Synopsis Linking up contrastive and learner corpus research by :
Download or read book Linking up contrastive and learner corpus research written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers brought together in this volume explore, through corpus data, the link between contrastive and interlanguage analysis. Learner corpora are approached from a contrastive perspective, by comparing them with native corpora or corpus data produced by learners from other mother tongue backgrounds, or by combining them with contrastive data from multilingual (translation or comparable) corpora. The integration of these two frameworks, contrastive and learner corpus research, makes it possible to highlight crucial aspects of learner production, such as features of non-nativeness (errors, over- and underuse, unidiomatic expressions), including universal features of interlanguage, or more general issues like the question of transfer. The ten papers of this volume cover topics ranging from methodology to syntax (e.g. adverb placement, postverbal subjects), through lexis (collocations) and discourse (e.g. information packaging, thematic choice). The languages examined include English, Chinese, Dutch, French and Spanish. The book will be of interest to a wide array of readers, especially researchers in second language acquisition and contrastive linguistics, but also professionals working in foreign language teaching, such as language teachers, materials writers and language testers.
Book Synopsis Collocations in a Learner Corpus by : Nadja Nesselhauf
Download or read book Collocations in a Learner Corpus written by Nadja Nesselhauf and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collocations are both pervasive in language and difficult for language learners, even at an advanced level. In this book, these difficulties are for the first time comprehensively investigated. On the basis of a learner corpus, idiosyncratic collocation use by learners is uncovered, the building material of learner collocations examined, and the factors that contribute to the difficulty of certain groups of collocations identified. An extensive discussion of the implications of the results for the foreign language classroom is also presented, and the contentious issue of the relation of corpus linguistic research and language teaching is thus extended to learner corpus analysis.
Book Synopsis The Determinant Phrase in the Spanish Interlanguage of Native Speakers of Swahili by : Maria Landa Buil
Download or read book The Determinant Phrase in the Spanish Interlanguage of Native Speakers of Swahili written by Maria Landa Buil and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-02 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes a significant contribution to the Second Language Acquisition research field as it is the only study that exists on the acquisition of the Spanish Determiner Phrase (DP) by speakers of a Bantu language. The corpus was compiled using data from 14 interviews carried out over a 25-month period. The subjects of the study were four Swahili speakers learning Spanish as a third language (English is their L2) at the State University of Zanzibar, Tanzania. The data collected longitudinally was used to characterize the DP of the Swahili-Spanish IL and observe Bantu transfer. This study also represents an important contribution to the discussion on Creole formation since it provides valuable information on the role played by adult speakers in the formation of Creole languages. In this book, the features of the DP in the IL are compared with those of the DP found in three Spanish-lexifier Creoles: Palenquero, Chabacano and Papiamento. Although similar work has been done comparing the interlanguage of learners of English and French with Creoles that have these languages as lexifiers, no comparative studies of this type have been conducted for Spanish. Moreover, in the case of Palenquero, this study also represents the first of its kind to examine languages in which the substrate and the L1 involved belong to the same family of Bantu languages.
Book Synopsis Corpus Linguistics and English Across ‘The Three Circles’ by : Rita Calabrese
Download or read book Corpus Linguistics and English Across ‘The Three Circles’ written by Rita Calabrese and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-13 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a survey of issues and studies on ‘applied’ corpus linguistics across two crucial decades, 2000-2020, which have marked enormous advancements in the field of corpora studies. At present, corpus linguistics and its applications form a well-established field of research which deserves special attention by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students and practitioners actively engaged in the study of the English language across the ‘three circles’. The original core of this volume drew on EFL data, and later progressed to include specific topics concerning English as a Second Language (ESL), as well as a first/native language. Such analyses are reported in the second part of the volume as individual replicable case studies investigating data from Italian learners of English at various academic levels, from Indian speakers of English as a second language, and from native speakers of English in Canada.

Book Synopsis Word-formation and Creolisation by : Maria Braun
Download or read book Word-formation and Creolisation written by Maria Braun and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2009 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores a relatively little investigated area of creole languages, word-formation. It provides the most comprehensive account so far of the word-formation patterns of an English-based creole language, Sranan, as found in its earliest sources, and compares them with the patterns attested in the input languages. One of the few studies of creole morphology based on historical data, the book discusses the theoretical problems arising with the historical analysis of creole word-formation and provides an analysis along the lines of Booij's (2005, 2007) Construction Morphology in which the assumed boundaries between affixation, compounding and syntactic constructions play a very minor role. It shows that Early Sranan word-formation is characterised by the absence of superstrate derivational affixes, the use of free morphemes as derivational markers and of compounding as the major word-formation strategy. The emergence of Early Sranan word-formation involved multiple sources (the input languages, universals, language-internal development) and different mechanisms (reanalysis of free morphemes as derivational markers, adaptation of superstrate complex words, transfer from the substrates and the creation of innovations). The findings render untenable theoretical accounts of creole genesis based on one explanatory factor, such as superstrate or substrate influence.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Compounding by : Rochelle Lieber
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Compounding written by Rochelle Lieber and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-07-07 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive review of theoretical work on the linguistics and psycholinguistics of compound words and combines it with a series of surveys of compounding in a variety of languages from a wide range of language families. Compounding is an effective way to create and express new meanings. Compound words are segmentable into their constituents so that new items can often be understood on first presentation. However, as keystone, keynote, and keyboard, and breadboard, sandwich-board, and mortarboard show, the relation between components is often far from straightforward. The question then arises, as to how far compound sequences are analysed at each encounter and how far they are stored in the brain as single lexical items? The nature and processing of compounds thus offer an unusually direct route to how language operates in the mind, as well as providing the means of investigating important aspects of morphology, and lexical semantics, and insights to child language acquisition and the organization of the mental lexicon. This book is the first to report on the state of the art on these and other central topics, including the classification and typology of compounds, and cross-linguistic research on the subject in different frameworks and from synchronic and diachronic perspectives.

Book Synopsis Language Processing and Second Language Development by : Manfred Pienemann
Download or read book Language Processing and Second Language Development written by Manfred Pienemann and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1998-07-15 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book marks a new development in the field of second language acquisition research. It explores the way in which language processing mechanisms shape the course of language development. Language Processing and Second Language Development thus adds one major psychological component to the search for a theory of second language acquisition. The core of the book is Pienemann’s Processability Theory which spells out which second language forms are processable at which developmental stage. The theory is based on recent research into language processing and is formalised within Lexical-Functional Grammar. The predictions of the theory are applied to the second language development of English, German, Japanese and Swedish. The theory is also tested in on-line experiments. In addition, Processability Theory has major implications for interlanguage variation (including task variation) and age-related differences in language acquisition. All of these issues are explored from a processing perspective with theoretical and empirical rigor.
