Pragmatic Awareness of the Request Speech Act in English as an Additional Language: Monolinguals or Bilinguals?
This study attempted to investigate the effect of bilingualism on pragmaticawareness and development among Iranian Turkish/Persian EFL learners. Data werecollected through a personal profile questionnaire with questions about theparticipants’ language background and a WDCT with 10 situations to determine theextent to which the bilinguals demonstrated their pragmatic awareness of requests.They w...
متن کاملInfluence of ethacrynic acid on the anticonvulsant activity of conventional antiepileptic drugs in the mouse maximal electroshock seizure model.
The aim of this study was to determine whether ethacrynic acid (EA), a loop diuretic with anticonvulsant activity, would affect the protective action of the conventional antiepileptics (AEDs) carbamazepine (CBZ), phenytoin (PHT), valproate (VPA) and phenobarbital (PB) in the mouse maximal electroshock seizure (MES) model. The effects of acute and chronic treatment with EA on these AEDs were exa...
متن کاملAntiepileptic effect of nefiracetam on kainic acid-induced limbic seizure in rats.
Nefiracetam is being studied as a novel cognition-enhancing agent; however, it has been suggested from studying its chemical structure that it has a potential anticonvulsive effect. We examined the antiepileptic effect of nefiracetam on kainic acid (KA)-induced seizures. KA was infused into the left basolateral amygdaloid nucleus and focal limbic seizures were induced in 43 male Wistar rats. Du...
متن کاملIndapamide enhances the protective action of carbamazepine, phenobarbital, and valproate against maximal electroshock-induced seizures in mice.
PURPOSE To determine the influence of indapamide on the protective action of numerous conventional and second-generation antiepileptic drugs (carbamazepine, lamotrigine, oxcarbazepine, phenobarbital, topiramate and valproate) in the mouse maximal electroshock seizure model. MATERIAL AND METHODS Electroconvulsions were evoked in Albino Swiss mice by a current (sine-wave, 0.2 s stimulus duratio...
متن کاملNeurobiology of Disease The Anticonvulsant Response to Valproate in Kindled Rats Is Correlated with Its Effect on Neuronal Firing in the Substantia Nigra Pars Reticulata: A New Mechanism of Pharmacoresistance
Resistance to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) is a major problem in epilepsy treatment. However, mechanisms of resistance are only incompletely understood. We have recently shown that repeated administration of the AED phenytoin allows selecting resistant and responsive rats from the amygdala kindling model of epilepsy, providing a tool to study mechanisms of AED resistance. We now tested whether in...
