BACKGROUND phonological therapy in children with phonological disorders. AIM to verify changes in the phonological system of children with phonological disorders, based on the comparison of number of acquired phonemes, number of sounds in the phonetic inventory and altered distinctive features, before and after therapy, and to verify differences between therapy models: Modified Cycles, Maxima...

The grammatical constraints on anaphoric binding, known as binding principles, are observed to form a classical square of oppositions. These constraints are then analysed as the effect of phase quantifiers over reference markers in grammatical obliqueness hierarchies, and the resulting phase quantifiers are shown to be organised in a square of logical duality. The impact of this result on the d...

It is the main motivation of our present study to identify some further criterion for the oppositions of topic, contrastive topic and, as the case may be, of focus in the prosodic characteristics of utterances. For this purpose, we have examined three sets of naturally occurring speech and analyzed them in order to find whether the character of intonation contours distinguishes between the thre...
