Why parallel prompts are required and what it is necessary to do to ensure that prompts are in fact parallel is not widely known. To date, evidence of equivalence has been documented for only a handful of picture instruments. The present study aims to demonstrate that two picture series, one describing hiking on a mountain, the other a picnic at a beach, designed to elicit narrative writing from children, are statistically parallel. To verify their being parallel, a random group design and a covariate were used. MANCOVA and confirmatory factor analysis confirmed that the two alternate picture forms were parallel in terms of means, variances, and factor structures with regard to multiple writing components. This study makes a unique contribution to picture-based assessment, first by publishing t...

The English writing abilities were measured 3 times in terms of grammar, content, coherence, spelling, and text length. A repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance demonstrated that the effect of time on the growth of writing skills was both large and significant: Grammar, coherence, and text length all showed substantial improvement in a linear progression; spelling and content developed in linear and quadratic trends. In addition, the improvement rate of grammar was similar to that of coherence, but text length showed a faster improvement. The vital common point was that students showed varying but remarkable improvements across all these components. This article makes idiosyncratic contributions to the understanding of young EFL writers and the longitudinal development of multiple writing components. This study may also serve as a reference for second-language educators as they notice (a) that these children achieved a high level of English writing skills although they did not live in an English-speaking society and (b) how they learned English in a curricular context where language acquisition principles were incorporated.

It also maintains that both the incompatibility of "amwu" ('any') plus "-to" and the concurrence of "amwu" plus "-na" with upward entailing property predicates are due to informativity and some other pragmatic felicity conditions. The quantificational forces of polarity items are then examined. Finally, since negative polarity items are accompanied by strong stress, arguably related to focus, it is possible to show how focus participates in the compositional derivations and contributes to the entire meaning of the sentence in which it occurs.
