Sentence examples for a unitary language from inspiring English sources

It is assumed that the subfamilies, and from them the individual languages of the Indo-European family, are ultimately derived from a unitary language spoken somewhere in eastern Europe or western Asia (its exact location is still under debate), perhaps 5,000 years ago.

On the other hand, if sentence repetition is best considered as simply another measure of a broad language ability construct rather than a distinct ability, it should load strongly on a unitary language factor.

We argue that our findings provide support for the view that sentence repetition is best seen as a reflection of an underlying unitary language construct rather than being conceptualized as a separate construct.

We argue that sentence repetition is best seen as a measure of an underlying unitary language construct.

Thus, the aims of the current study were to assess the extent to which sentence repetition is a longitudinal predictor of variations in other language abilities, and whether it is best conceptualized as a separate ability or simply one measure of a unitary underlying language construct (defined by vocabulary knowledge, grammatical skills and sentence repetition).

This unitary language has itself been referred to as "Indo-European," "Proto-Indo-European," the "common parent language," or the "original language" (Ursprache) of the family.

Hence we have support for the factorial invariance of this unitary language factor across time.

In this model, it is notable that sentence imitation (i.e. sentence repetition) loaded strongly on the unitary language factor (factor loading of 0.79, which explained 62% of the variance in sentence imitation ability).

However, the assumption of a unitary encoding order across languages seems difficult, if not impossible, to reconcile with contradictory findings that suggest different encoding orders, based on the nogo/color condition (e.g. proposition after mood) and on the nogo/position condition (e.g. proposition before mood).

Also of interest is whether language ability is comprised of a unitary construct or composed of multiple components.
