The proposal scheme called Hakka pinyin input method is based on Android (IMF) Input Method Framework. Users can input Hakka texts in any APP of mobile cell. When user inputs a Hakka character or Hakka vocabulary phonetic abbreviation, the input method will refer to the input of user and search for a single character phonetic transcription font stored in the SQLite database. The data will send ...

Children often hear many new words in one conversation, and yet word learning research overwhelmingly focuses on how children learn retrieve the meanings of single words. The current experiment...

A number of studies have used functional neuroimaging to examine the neural mechanisms of sentence comprehension; however, few fMRI studies have examined activation patterns associated with sentence comprehension after accounting for activation attributable to single-word-level tasks important for sentence comprehension. To investigate the patterns of activation associated with sentence compreh...

Recent research has shown that reading disabled children find it unusually difficult to detect flickering or moving visual stimuli, consistent with impaired processing in the magnocellular visual stream. Yet, it remains controversial to suggest that reduced visual sensitivity of this kind might affect children's reading. Here we suggest that when children read, impaired magnocellular function m...

This study investigated the vulnerability of lexical processing in individuals with aphasia. Though classical teaching of aphasia syndromes holds that people with Broca's aphasia have intact comprehension at the single-word level, the nature and extent of this purported sparing were explored under suboptimal processing conditions. A combination of acoustic distortions (low-pass filtering and ti...

Ten fluent speakers and nine developmental stutterers read isolated nouns aloud in a delayed reading paradigm. Cortical activation sequences were mapped with a whole-head magnetoencephalography system. The stutterers were mostly fluent in this task. Although the overt performance was essentially identical in the two groups, the cortical activation patterns showed clear differences, both in the ...

Many disabled persons in the world are unable to communicate verbally with those around them. This may be because they have motor-control di culties and so cannot operate the muscles which actually produce the speech. Conversely, it may be a neurophysiological problem, either congenital or as a result of trauma, resulting in an inability of the brain to create the speech in the rst place. Eithe...

Some previous studies point to the extension of Chargaff’s second rule (the phenomenon of symmetry) to words of large length. However, in random sequences generated by an independent symbol model where the probability of occurrence of complementary nucleotides is the same, we expect that the phenomenon of symmetry holds for all word lengths. In this work, we measure the symmetry above tha...

Toddlers 15 and 18 months of age were exposed to audiovisual recordings of two novel words paired with novel toys. The words were presented in familiar sentence frames or in isolation. Linguistic context had a greater effect on younger than on older infants. Specifically, 15-month-old boys exhibited successful learning only in the context of single words, and 15-month-old girls did so only for ...
