In this association, language proficiency may not be acting as a proxy for acculturation but simply relating to the ability to communicate (Gee, Walsemann, and Takeuchi 2010).
While it is beyond the scope of this paper to discuss the benefits and challenges of applying systemic functional theory to sign languages, it is nonetheless necessary to identify and elaborate upon the notion of 'context,' and the associations between language use and communicative environments.
Logicians developed a system of notation, free from the associations of language, that comes close to being a kind of mathematics.
Our participants experience automatic, life-long and consistent crossmodal associations between language sequences (e.g., letters, numbers and days) and complex personifications (e.g., A is a businessman; 7 a good-natured woman).
Phenotypic associations between language ability and autistic traits were modest and negative.
We found significant associations between language restriction, author contact for missing data, and the overall AMSTAR score, a surrogate for credibility and rigor of SRs.
Significant cross-sectional associations between language ability and attention problems were found at 18 (r =.16) and 36 months (r =.24), as well as stability of these two variables over time (language:.64, attention:.57).57
Of course, the associations in language can be cross-modal, as in the link between spoken words and their referents, but there are also cells in the monkey brain that can code for cross-modal associations [ 37].
In order to add to the knowledge base in this field of research, we investigated the associations between language barriers, the costs of health care, and access to health care for a group of asylum seekers.
As variation in ethnic identities, cultural practices, oral histories and languages of the peoples of the Cross River are so well described with many tongues believed to have separated hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of years ago this region provides an excellent opportunity to examine possible associations of language and uniparental genetic differentiation on a fine scale.
Previous studies exploring the role of shared genes in contributing to both RD and SLI indicate KIAA0319 as a possible common risk factor supported by associations with language-related measures in samples selected for language impairment (51,52).
