the effect of task complexity on lexical complexity and grammatical accuracy of efl learners’ argumentative writing

بر اساس فرضیه شناخت رابینسون (2001 و 2003 و 2005) و مدل ظرفیت توجه محدود اسکهان (1998)، این تحقیق تاثیر پیچیدگی تکلیف را بر پیچیدگی واژگان و صحت گرامری نوشتار مباحثه ای 60 نفر از دانشجویان زبان انگلیسی بررسی کرد. میزان پیچیدگی تکلیف از طریق فاکتورهای پراکندگی-منابع تعیین شد. همه ی شرکت کنندگان به صورت نیمه تصادفی به یکی از سه گروه: (1) گروه موضوع، (2) گروه موضوع + اندیشه و (3) گروه موضوع + اندی...

A Typology of Lexical Analogy in WordNet

Analogy and metaphor are extremely knowledge-hungry processes, so one should question whether lightweight lexical ontologies like WordNet are sufficiently rich to support them. In this paper we argue that resources like WordNet are suited to the processing of certain kinds of lexical analogies and metaphors, for which we propose a spatially-motivated typology and a corresponding computational m...

ADJECTIVES DESCRIBING SURFACE TEXTURE: TOWARDS LEXICAL TYPOLOGY Category: oral Theme session: Lexical typology of qualitative concepts

This paper deals with adjectives describing surface texture (‘slippery’, ‘smooth’, ‘level’, ‘rough’, etc.). The language sample comprises Russian, English, Chinese, Spanish, Korean, and a set of the Uralic languages (Finnish, Estonian, Erzya, Mari, Komi, Udmurt, Hungarian, Khanty, Nenets, Selqup). Their indepth study was aimed at exploring the dependence between the genetic proximity of languag...

Prosodic typology has generally concentrated on those aspects of prosodic representation which are assumed to be represented in the lexicon. It is argued here that non-lexical representation at various levels, underlying phonological, surface phonological and phonetic, can also constitute a basis for prosodic typology. An example is given of a low-level comparison of English and French pitch pa...
