Neuroscience, Linguistics and Psycholinguistics Advances Applied to Early Literacy Teaching

Applied Linguistics and English Language Teaching

The aim of the present investigation is to examine applied linguistics and english language teaching. Many resent researches concerned with applied linguistics have led to a phenomenon to resolve language problems in general and in particular english language. In general, language phenomenon is complex. Finegan and Besiner defined language as a finite system of elements and principles that make...

The Psycholinguistics of Basic Literacy

We review major issues in research on reading, including theories of word reading, cross-writing system comparisons, comprehension, reading difficulties, learning how to read, and cognitive neuroscience studies of reading. Each of these topics has psycholinguistic components that reflect the language foundations of reading. These foundations lie in two facts: (1) a writing system connects to a ...

Relating structure and time in linguistics and psycholinguistics

The field of psycholinguistics advertises its mentalistic commitments in its name. The field of linguistics does not. Psycholinguistic research frequently involves ingenious experimental designs, fancy lab equipment such as eye-trackers or electroencephalograms (EEGs), large groups of experimental subjects, and detailed statistical analyses. Linguistic research typically requires no specialized...

The Convergence of Lexicalist Perspectives in Psycholinguistics and Computational Linguistics

Early Language Learning and Literacy: Neuroscience Implications for Education.

The last decade has produced an explosion in neuroscience research examining young children's early processing of language that has implications for education. Noninvasive, safe functional brain measurements have now been proven feasible for use with children starting at birth. In the arena of language, the neural signatures of learning can be documented at a remarkably early point in developme...
