objectives: one of the factors predicting language impairments is an early limited lexicon in children. an early limited lexicon can also lead to limited performances in other language areas. this study was aimed to examine receptive and expressive vocabulary in 8-16 month-old children with cleft lip and palate as a predictor of development in other language areas. materials: the macarthur-bate...

Many textbooks include semantically related words and sometimes teachers add synonyms, antonyms, etc. to the words in order to present new vocabulary items without questioning the possible effects. This study sought to investigate the effect of teaching vocabulary through synonym, semantically unrelated, and hyponym sets based on Higa’s (1963) proposed continuum. A total of 120 Iranian intermed...

Literature is replete with the studies focusing on the role of vocabulary knowledge in second language receptive skills. However, the relationship between the aspects of vocabulary knowledge and productive skills in general, and the speaking performance in particular has remained scanty in the related literature. This paper examined the relationship between knowledge of L2 vocabulary size at di...

SUMMARY If we enlarge the vocabulary size of the word recognl~lOn system to about several hundreds, we are afraid that the recognition time becomes not only very long by increasing an amount of processing but also the correct rate of recognition decreases. To cope with these weak points, we adopted the method which reduced candidate words in the vocabulary by means of pre-matching using both lo...

At Tran Quoc Toan High School, when students learn English, they usually faced with many difficulties not only in specific language skills but also in vocabulary memorizing. Because of their learning habits and learning strategies, they failed to memorize words for a long time and to recall words when necessary. Based on literature review, it is found that semantic mapping has had good effects ...

The necessity of using a fixed-size word vocabulary in order to control the model complexity in state-of-the-art neural machine translation (NMT) systems is an important bottleneck on performance, especially for morphologically rich languages. Conventional methods that aim to overcome this problem by using sub-word or character-level representations solely rely on statistics and disregard the l...

CONTEMPORARY ISSUES IN COMMUNICATION SCIENCE AND DISORDERS • Volume 28 • 20–29 • Spring 2001 © NSSLHA 1092-5171/01/2801-0020 ABSTRACT: Spoken word recognition was investigated in a group of children aged 3:0 to 7:11 (years:months) to assess the relationship between five measures of language development and spoken word recognition accuracy. Two spoken word recognition tasks, gated words and nois...

Children with pre- or perinatal brain injury (PL) exhibit marked plasticity for language learning. Previous work has focused mostly on the emergence of earlier-developing skills, such as vocabulary and syntax. Here we ask whether this plasticity for earlier-developing aspects of language extends to more complex, later-developing language functions by examining the narrative production of childr...

This research paper explores the impact of four language skills integration on learning vocabulary using quasi non-random pre and posttests experiment. Vocabulary development is considered to be crucial for improving proficiency in any target language. The significance conspicuous all skills: reading, writing, listening speaking. examines these if integrated developing vocabulary. participants ...
