Imagine if lexicographers were to create online resources that give, in addition to definitions, many living examples of word use, drawn not just from literature and newspapers but from real-time sources of language like Web sites, blogs and social networks.
Research indicates that approximately 50% of foreign language learners experience some form of anxiety in the learning process, and that learning and teaching styles in particular are possible sources of language anxiety (LA).
There are thus 2 potential sources of language conflict: a stimulus-based conflict, and a response-based conflict in the decision system that guides selection for action.
Setting aside the influence of language contact, one of the primary sources of language-internal variation is hypothesized to have originated from listeners failing to compensate for context-induced variation in speech properly [7], [9], [10].
The staff are a rich source of language skills: 90 staff speak 26 languages between them, of whom 69% say they are fluent or native speakerswhile 56 staff have used a language other than English to help provide services in the last 12 months.
Wright has found a way to wed fragments of an iconic America to a luminously strange idiom, eerie as a tin whistle, which she uses to evoke the haunted quality of our carnal existence — the paradox that the body is the source of language, and yet language outlasts our bodies.
U 2. Genotypes: theoretical generalizations, principles in a theory of language behaviour, that hold for all languages … the fundamental laws governing the production of semantic regularities, the production of grammatical regularities, the source of language change (emphasis in original).
U 1. Phenotypes: empirical generalizations that hold for all languages.. U 2. Genotypes: theoretical generalizations, principles in a theory of language behaviour, that hold for all languages … the fundamental laws governing the production of semantic regularities, the production of grammatical regularities, the source of language change (emphasis in original).
One important source of language change is contact and resulting diffusion of linguistic traits between languages.
first calculated subtitle frequencies, we did not expect them to do particularly well, because criticisms can be raised against films as a representative source of language (they often depict American situations, are biased towards certain topics such as police investigations, do not include everything that is said, the language is not completely spontaneous, etc).
A possible second source of language conflict arises at the level of the decision system where a response is selected based on the activated representations in the word identification system.
