on the comparison of keyword and semantic-context methods of learning new vocabulary meaning
the rationale behind the present study is that particular learning strategies produce more effective results when applied together. the present study tried to investigate the efficiency of the semantic-context strategy alone with a technique called, keyword method. to clarify the point, the current study seeked to find answer to the following question: are the keyword and semantic-context metho...
15 صفحه اولConservativity and Learnability of Determiners
5 A striking cross-linguistic generalisation about the semantics of determiners is 6 that they never express nonconservative relations. To account for this one might hy7 pothesise that the mechanisms underlying human language acquisition are unsuited 8 to nonconservative determiner meanings. We present experimental evidence that 9 fourand five-year-olds fail to learn a novel nonconservative det...
متن کاملUniversals on natural language determiners from a PAC-learnability perspective
A classical conjecture in generative linguistics is that universal restrictions on determiners in Natural Language (e.g. monotonicity, invariance, and conservativity) serve the purpose of simplifying the language acquisition task. This paper formalizes this conjecture within the PAC-learnability framework.
متن کاملon translation of phatic communion and socio-cultural relationships between the characters of the novels
