2 Studies that are on individual language description, contrastive analysis, cross-linguistic comparison or generalisation.
For example, it has been suggested [16] that the simple principle according to which categories are constructed as to maximize similarity within categories and to minimize it across categories could be responsible for cross-linguistic similarity, and a quantitative analysis based on this intuition has confirmed its validity [17].
To the best of our knowledge, their study is the only meta-analysis on cross-linguistic transfer.
In this study, we report what we think is the first large scale content-analysis of cross-linguistic text in the social sciences, by using various artificial intelligence techniques.
In this study, we report what we think is the first large scale content-analysis of cross-linguistic text in the social sciences, by deploying various artificial intelligence techniques including recent advances in machine translation [17], [18] and text analysis [19].
Findings of the comparative analysis reveal significant cross-linguistic differences for overall frequency of metadiscourse as well as for most (sub- categories.
Future studies should utilize designs that are more amenable to examining the causal relationship between L1 and L2 skill development.To conclude, this meta-analysis identified significant cross-linguistic transfer between Chinese and English in the area of phonological awareness, decoding, vocabulary and morphological awareness.
This meta-analysis presents research on cross-linguistic transfer between the two languages in four domains: phonological awareness, decoding skills, vocabulary, and morphological awareness.
Melby-Lervag and Lervag (2011) conducted a meta-analysis to examine the cross-linguistic transfer of reading related skills between both alphabetic and ideographic L1 s and English as L2.
This meta-analysis examined the extent of cross-linguistic transfer between Chinese as the first language (L1) and English as the second language (L2).
