Collocation is known as one of the most problematic areas in learning a second language and it seems that if one has tendency to improve his or her communication ability in another language, the elaboration of collocation using competence is among the most important issues. This study investigated the role of implicit input enhancement in teaching grammatical collocations for Iranian EFL learne...

The success of long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks in language processing is typically attributed to their ability to capture long-distance statistical regularities. Linguistic regularities are often sensitive to syntactic structure; can such dependencies be captured by LSTMs, which do not have explicit structural representations? We begin addressing this question using number agreeme...

Grammatical competence is the knowledge of and ability to use a language's grammatical resources. Understanding communicating meaning across generations, as well being able recognize properly constructed sentences that adhere these rules (Kusumawardani & Mardiyani, 2018). On other hand, students who have high self-esteem are more likely achieve their goals cope better with life's challenges...

Pine & Lieven (1993) suggest that a lexically-based positional analysis can account for the structure of a considerable proportion of children's early multiword corpora. The present study tests this claim on a second, larger sample of eleven children aged between 1;0 and 3;0 from a different social background, and extends the analysis to later in development. Results indicate that the positiona...

Digitization causes fundamental shifts in economy and society. These changes will go in line with significant changes of corporate core competencies as well as the skills and capabilities of employees. Due to the increasing pace of technological development in production and service processes as well as the ongoing trend to automation classic educational approaches will no longer suffice to ens...

This study investigates the linguistic competence of modern language models. Artificial neural networks demonstrate high quality in many natural processing tasks. However, their implicit grammar knowledge remains unstudied. The ability to judge a sentence as grammatical or ungrammatical is regarded key property human’s competence. We suppose that models’ also occurs grammaticality sentence. In ...

This study examined abstract syntactic categorization in infants, using the case of grammatical gender. Ninety-six French-learning 14-, 17-, 20-, and 30-month-olds completed the study. In a preferential looking procedure infants were tested on their generalized knowledge of grammatical gender involving pseudonouns and gender-marking determiners. The pseudonouns were controlled to contain no pho...

The first three waves of research on resilience in development, largely behavioral in focus, contributed a compelling set of concepts and methods, a surprisingly consistent body of findings, provocative issues and controversies, and clues to promising areas for the next wave of resilience research linking biology and neuroscience to behavioral adaptation in development. Behavioral investigators...
