Of course, it can be something else as well: a user idiosyncrasy, or a special style such as "computer talk" that some people use while speaking to a computer, or speaking to a nonnative, to a child, or to an elderly person who is hard of hearing.
Here, we use an experimental approach to address the following questions: 1) Does the presence of a nonnative competitor at a high value food source alter the foraging behavior of native species?
In my relationship with English, in this relationship with the intrinsic distance between a nonnative speaker and an adopted language that makes people look askance, I feel invisible but not estranged.
A little exposure to a nonnative language allows infants to retain their verbal flexibility longer, so a team led by infant researchers Olivier Pascalis of the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom and Charles Nelson at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis wondered if the same applied to face recognition.
HILO, HAWAII--An nonnative insect released in Colorado in 1992 to control the weed Canada thistle has started munching on native thistles instead, researchers reported here 31 July at the Society of Conservation Biology meeting.
Second, if a tonal language is acquired as a nonnative language do the same regional brain differences emerge?
We used the "empty neuron system" developed by Dobritsa et al. (2003) to determine the response from a single Or gene expressed in a nonnative neuron.
This means that a worker who is disqualified for being a nonnative speaker can potentially retake the exam and change his or her answers to avoid disqualification.
The link between face and language processing is also illustrated by research in which infants watched and listened to a female speaking their native language or a nonnative language.
That difference, he adds, might not be clear to a freshly arrived Japanese postdoc who's asked to sign a complex agreement that "is probably baffling to a nonnative speaker of English".
When you're a teacher, of course, or when you're coaching a nonnative speaker who has asked for help.
