Syntactic complexity has long been taken as a significant factor in determining writing quality by EFL learners. And researchers recent years have made lot of efforts to devise and verify wide range factors or indicators for the purpose measuring syntactic predicting quality. The present study discussed bases itself on self-built learner corpus with data collected over three years, aim applicab...

This paper is the second in a series of two papers presenting recent developments concerning the interaction between aspectual classes of predicates and the semantics of aspectual for-phrases. Aspectual for-phrases must modify predicates which are homogeneous meaning that the predicate spreads appropriately to subintervals. For eventive predicates the relevant notion of homogeneity should be a ...

: This study aims to explore the relationship between syntactic and lexical complexity and also the relationship between different aspects of lexical complexity. To this end, speech monologs of 35 Iranian high-intermediate learners of English on three different tasks (i.e. argumentation, description, and narration) were analyzed for correlations between one measure of sy...
