The disadvantage in producing the past tense of regular relative to irregular verbs shown by some patients with non-fluent aphasia has been alternatively attributed (a) to the failure of a specific rule-based morphological mechanism, or (b) to a more generalised phonological impairment that penalises regular verbs more than irregular owing to the on-average greater phonological complexity of re...

Agrammatic aphasic individuals exhibit marked production deficits for tense morphology. This paper presents three experiments examining whether a group of English-speaking agrammatic individuals (n=10) exhibit parallel deficits in their comprehension of tense. Results from two comprehension experiments (on-line grammaticality judgment studies) suggest that these individuals are impaired for ten...

English as a foreign language that is widely used in the world provides challenge to every learner. Grammar rules are one of challenges faced by learners, especially Subject-verb Agreement rules. This article aims analyze types common errors made students and determine with highest percentage found. With qualitative quantitative descriptive design, this study chose Education Study Program, FKIP...

1. Introduction This paper investigates the nature of the syntax-semantics interface through a study of the temporal interpretation of the Korean-ko construction. In Korean, matrix clauses must be tensed whereas the non-final conjunct of the-ko construction can be untensed. For example, (1) must be realized either with present (PRES) or past (PAST) tense morpheme whereas the past tense on the v...

Eye-tracking findings suggest people prefer to ground their spoken language comprehension by focusing on recently seen events more than anticipating future events: When the verb in NP1-VERB-ADV-NP2 sentences was referentially ambiguous between a recently depicted and an equally plausible future clipart action, listeners fixated the target of the recent action more often at the verb than the obj...

PURPOSE Hungarian is a null-subject language with both agglutinating and fusional elements in its verb inflection system, and agreement between the verb and object as well as between the verb and subject. These characteristics make this language a good test case for alternative accounts of the grammatical deficits of children with language impairment (LI). METHOD Twenty-five children with LI ...

Verb inflection errors, often seen in agrammatic aphasic speech, have been attributed to either impaired encoding of diacritical features that specify tense and aspect, or to impaired affixation during phonological encoding. In this study we examined the effect of semantic markedness, word form frequency and affix frequency, as well as accuracy and error patterns, in an attempt to evaluate whet...

This paper presents the analysis process of verb temporality using Reichenbach’s tense system, a language-independent system which describes tense as relations among linguistic and extralinguistic temporal entities. Several difficulties arise from the deep analysis required for classification into Reichenbach’s categories. They regard establishing the logical sequence of clauses in the skeletal...

Langendoen (1977) advanced an argument against English being a context-free language involving cross-serial subject-verb agreement in respectively constructions such as (1). (1) The man and the women dances and sing, respectively. As noted by Pullum and Gazdar (1982), however, and acknowledged subsequently by Langendoen (personal communication), such examples are unacceptable, and the argument ...
