In this article it is argued that this is due to the inherently functional approach to compiler construction. An alternative approach to compiler construction is proposed, based on object-oriented principles, which solves (or at least lessens) the problems of compiler construction. Th...

The term lexical approach was introduced in 1993 by Michael Lewis, who observed that "language consists of grammaticalized lexis, not lexicalised grammar" (The Lexical Approach, 1993).

this article studies the generative grammar approach and some other theories driven from it to lexicon and lexical entries. generative grammar is known as a syntax-based theory, so some aspects of language which have been studied in this theory may have been ignored in other theories. this article shows that more attention has been given to lexicon and lexical entries since 50s. we may claim th...

The study aimed to shed light on the use of gesture in resolving lexical ambiguity employed by TEFL students. To this end, 60 intermediate Iranian learners, studying at Kish Way Language School in Iran were recruited. The participants were randomly put into two experimental groups and one control group. Both of the experimental groups received the same teaching approach, i.e. teaching homonyms ...

the present research investigated the effect of self-regulatory approach (with two components of self-checking and self-efficacy) on pre-intermediate iranian learners' lexical segmentation in listening comprehension via authentic listening comprehension texts. to achieve this purpose, the investigators administered an oxford placement test (2007) to ninety-eight students of two girls’ priv...
