The study aimed to investigate the development of learners’ interlanguage. It also tried track sources errors that they committed. To discover these errors, researchers adopted a mixed methods approach. findings revealed participants involved actively in learning target language and their endeavors manifested all types which may indicate some are systematic universal. were classified according ...

To test conflicting hypotheses regarding amnesic H.M.'s language abilities, this study examined H.M.'s sentence production on the Language Competence Test (Wiig & Secord, 1988). The task for H.M. and 8 education-, age-, and IQ-matched controls was to describe pictures using a single grammatical sentence containing prespecified target words. The results indicated selective deficits in H.M.'s pic...

In foreign grammar teaching not only necessary but also main way to achieve goal This article mainly studies virtual reality technology college English immersive context method based on artificial intelligence machine learning. The purpose improve stu...

Mental representations have continuous as well as discrete, combinatorial properties. For example, while predominantly discrete, phonological representations also vary continuously; this is reflected by gradient effects in instrumental studies of speech production. Can an integrated theoretical framework address both aspects of structure? The framework we introduce here, Gradient Symbol Process...

The existence of variability, i.e., when multiple surface forms correspond to a single underlying representation, is a significant problem for many formal theories of phonology, which are often treated as strictly deterministic. Many theorists simply regard the different surface forms as free variants and use optional rules to formalize the variation (see Chomsky & Halle 1968). Others argue tha...

Experiments were carried out to determine if variations in adult native speaker performance arise from variations in working memory capacity (Just & Carpenter, 1992) or variations in procedural grammatical competence (Ericsson & Kintsch, 1995). Three groups of 18-year-old native speakers of English were tested on comprehension and recall of English Complex NP constructions. Two groups were ‘low...
