A expressão da Libras se dá majoritariamente pelas mãos, mas também envolve expressões faciais e corporais e o uso do espaço de sinalização. As produções manuais podem ser, de maneira geral, de dois tipos: sinais lexicais e datilolologia. Esta última se refere à soletração manual de palavras do português escrito por meio de configurações de mão, CM, que representam as letras do alfabeto. O uso da datilologia e a consequente formação de sinais datilológicos resulta do contato com a língua portuguesa. O presente artigo discute a variação fonético-fonológica na letra manual ‘E’, observada durante a soletração manual e a produção de sinais datilológicos. Nessas produções, percebeu-se a ocorrência de alguns processos fonológicos como a assimilação. Resultados preliminares sugerem os dois possíveis alofones para a letra manual “E”, cuja realização é influenciada pelo segmento vizinho da letra manual. Proponho que os dois alofones da letra manual “E” já identificados sejam representados po...

The present paper demonstrates that Israeli Sign Language (ISL), like most languages of the world, can systematically distinguish between neutral and counterfactual conditionals. Although in the sign language literature only neutral conditionals have been described in detail (Liddell 1980, BakerShenk 1983, Reilly, McIntire and Bellugi 1990, Wilbur 1996), my study shows that Israeli Sign Language is capable of making a distinction between the two types of conditionals. This distinction is expressed by means of a device peculiar to sign language: neutral conditionals are systematically associated with raised brows, and counterfactuals with raised brows together with squinted eyes.
Facial expressions have been compared, in both function and patterning, to intonation in spoken languages (Sandler 1999a,b, Nespor and Sandler 1999). The results of this study provide strong support for this view. Independent facial components marking the two types of conditionals can re-occur in a wide and varied range of constructions in ISL, contributing distinct, albeit general, pragmatic meanings to the overall interpretations of the utterances. In this way as well, they behave very much like tones in intonational systems of spoken languages.

2025, Turystyka Kulturowa

Zgodnie z definicją turystyki autorstwa K. Przecławskiego, jest to "…całokształt zjawisk ruchliwości przestrzennej, związanych z dobrowolną, czasową, zmianą miejsca pobytu, rytmu i środowiska życia, oraz z wejściem w styczność osobistą ze środowiskiem odwiedzanym (przyrodniczym, kulturowym bądź społecznym)" [Przecławski 1973, s. 12; 1994, s. 9]. Przytoczona wyżej definicja została wybrana spośród licznych definicji turystyki nieprzypadkowo. Otóż są w niej zawarte przynajmniej dwie kwestie kluczowe dla dalszych wywodów zawartych w poniższym tekście. Po pierwsze, K. Przecławski uważa, że istotą turystyki jest "ruchliwość przestrzenna". Innym ważnym dla niego atrybutem turystyki jest zetknięcie się turystów z odwiedzanym przez nich środowiskiem "…(przyrodniczym, kulturowym bądź społecznym)". Takie pojmowanie turystyki prowadzi do konkluzji, że czymś oczywistym jest, że jest ona przedmiotem zainteresowań geografii. Przesądza o tym zarówno podniesiona przez K. Przecławskiego kwestia przemieszczeń przestrzennych, jak i użycie terminu "środowisko", gdyż oba te atrybuty mają zasadnicze znaczenia dla wyróżniania geografii wśród innych dyscyplin wiedzy. Ale nie tylko to sprawia, że zaproponowana przez K. Przecławskiego definicja turystyki została potraktowana jako szczególnie ważna z punktu widzenia celu przyświecającego autorom prezentowanego tekstu. W tym kontekście interesujące jest traktowanie przez K. Przecławskiego "środowiska" jako fenomenu obejmującego elementy przyrodnicze i/lub elementy kulturowe ("…bądź społeczne", jak pisze autor), co powoduje, iż pojęcie "środowisko" można zastąpić terminem "krajobraz". W pewnym stopniu pogląd ten nawiązuje do stanowiska reprezentującego geografię S. Leszczyckiego, zdaniem którego "Najczęściej pod słowem "krajobraz" rozumie się nie tylko zewnętrzne oblicze pewnej części Ziemia, które można opisać, sfotografować, a tym samym sklasyfikować, ale jednostkę przestrzenną, cząstkę powłoki ziemskiej" [Leszczycki 1958, s. 550].

Franz Dotter was a world recognized linguist and sign language scholar. His tragic passing in 2018 deprived the field of sign linguistics from a pioneering voice. In this paper we ask several questions concerning sign language and Dotter's approach to sign linguistics and reflect on Franz Dotter's contributions to the field of sign linguistics. Dotter turned his expertise and analytic skill to questioning the common approach to sign languages which assumed that theories developed to account for spoken language could be simply applied to sign languages. Instead, Dotter insisted on studying sign languages on their own terms. Dotter also was a thoughtful critic of the claim that most characteristic elements of sign languages are fusions of linguistic and non-linguistic elements -a claim which he incorporated into the title of a paper and then resoundingly rejected. As we show, Dotter was an early proponent of cognitive linguistic approaches to sign language analysis. He also was a critical thinker who examined and encouraged others to study the importance of non-manual elements in sign language texts. Always an advocate for sign languages and deaf people, Dotter was active in fighting for Deaf Rights. Finally, we introduce some of the research we have conducted, influenced either directly or indirectly by our interactions with Franz Dotter.

Ancient Maya texts are informationally dominated by hieroglyphic inscriptions and visually dominated by figural art with distinctly formed hands. The hands suggest iconographically embedded hand signs, which would constitute a unique modality of semantic expression and a discourse complement to hieroglyphic writing. However, the hands have eluded decipherment. Here I take a novel approach. I use relevant phonological parameters (handshape, orientation, position) as features for defining a hand form as a graphic symbol. I also exploit inferences of scribal design and composition to constrain possible hand-sign values. Notably, I examine the hand-sign and hieroglyphic inscriptions of Altar Q, an 8th-century sculptural text that is ideal for its relative abundance of graphic hand signs, sizable hieroglyphic inscription, and wealth of contextualizing information. The resulting evidence (including isomorphisms between hand signs and hieroglyphs, intratextual references for hand-sign values, and direct links between hand-sign and hieroglyphic information) converges on a single solution: Each of Altar Q's hand signs is an esoterically formed numeral for one of four Long Count dates. I thus demonstrate and mathematically verify eleven unique numerical hand signs. Although partial, this initial decipherment of Ancient Maya graphic hand signs provides a strong base for future efforts.

Como toda língua, a Libras, língua brasileira de sinais, está sujeita a diversas formas de variação: diatópica, diacrônica, diafásica, diastrática e diaétnica. Entretanto, observamos uma outra forma relacionada ao contato de duas línguas, no caso a Libras e o Português: a variação diaglóssica (Monteagudo, 2011). Neste artigo, partindo da história da emergência da Libras desde a fundação do Instituto Nacional de Educação de Surdos (INES), analisamos o seu contato com o Português e como essa relação entre línguas produziu variedades diaglóssicas, com maiores ou menores influências de cada uma dessas línguas. Considerando o conceito de continuum linguístico e analisando diversos trabalhos relacionados ao contato entre essas duas línguas, levantamos e elencamos algumas características dos dois extremos de um continuum diaglóssico, um com maior influência do Português e menor da Libras e outro maior influência da Libras e menor do Português. Foi observado, então, que nesse primeiro extremo do continuum estaria uma variedade próxima ao Português Sinalizado com mais empréstimos da língua portuguesa, maior uso de datilologia e de mouthing, além da linearidade, o que resultaria em uma menor utilização de sinais incorporados. Já na outra extremidade, a com variedades mais próximas da Libras, entre elas a Libras emancipada, haveria maior uso da simultaneidade e da espacialidade, além de mais expressões faciais e corporais, classificadores e soletração rítmica. Buscamos com este trabalho, reforçar a existência de muitas variedades da Libras e mostrar que essas variedades diaglóssicas são resultados da diversidade própria da(s) comunidade(s) Surda(s). A heterogeneidade é uma característica intrínseca às línguas, e a Libras não é exceção. É fundamental combater o preconceito linguístico e a discriminação contra essas variedades, reconhecendo a riqueza e a diversidade da Libras. Afinal, todas essas variedades apresentam gramáticas complexas e completas e fazem parte da expressão da(s) cultura(s) e da(s) identidade(s) Surda(s) no Brasil.

Miejsce cmentarzy w turystyce kulturowej-wokół problemu badawczego 1. Streszczenie. Cmentarze i groby od wieków stanowiły cel podróży. Były to jednak różne cele. W ostatnich latach coraz częściej o cmentarzach wspomina się w kontekście turystyki kulturowej. Stanowią one cel podróży o charakterze poznawczym (krajoznawczym), religijnym (pielgrzymkowym), etnicznym (sentymentalnym), a nawet rekreacyjnym. Artykuł jest próbą zwrócenia uwagi Czytelnika na problematykę badań nad miejscem cmentarzy w turystyce kulturowej i ich znaczenia w przestrzeni turystycznej. 1. Wstęp. Aktywność turystyczna człowieka jest procesem wpływającym na przemiany zachodzące w przestrzeni geograficznej, w wyniku którego kształtuje się przestrzeń turystyczna. Przestrzeń turystyczną można zaliczyć do przestrzeni realnej, która może być "ujmowana przedmiotowo (np. zbiór rzeczy, zdarzeń, cech, relacji) lub podmiotowo, np. jako zbiór rzeczy odnoszony do działającego i poznającego podmiotu" (Lisowski 2003). Dualny charakter przestrzeni realnej pozwala ujmować relacje między przedmiotami i podmiotami z różnych punktów widzenia. Uwzględnienie człowieka, jako podmiotu działającego w rzeczywistym świecie fizycznym i w określonych realiach przestrzenno-czasowych, łączy się z analizą przestrzeni subiektywnej, opisywanej przez pryzmat wewnętrznych doświadczeń, zaspokojenia określonych potrzeb i subiektywnych wyobrażeń obiektywnej przestrzeni. "Proces percepcji przestrzeni (otoczenia podmiotu) obejmuje identyfikację (rozpoznanie, klasyfikację) obiektów, ich strukturyzację (określenie wzajemnych relacji), wartościowanie (postrzeganie wartości użytkowych) i odczuwanie, czyli percepcję przypisywanych znaczeń" (Lisowski 2003). W nawiązaniu do koncepcji przestrzeni realnej w ujęciu heterotelicznym, przedmiotem prowadzonych przez autora badań jest cmentarz, będący częścią przestrzeni kulturowej. Podmiotem badań jest eksplorujący lub penetrujący przestrzeń cmentarza turysta. Autor skłania się ku definicji cmentarza wg Kolbuszewskiego (1996), który określa go jako "instytucjonalnie ukształtowany wycinek przestrzeni o programowo założonym grzebalnym przeznaczeniu, zorganizowanym wedle pewnych dyrektyw-reguł kulturowych, związanych tak ze zrytualizowaniem form grzebania zmarłych, jak z istnieniem pewnej tradycji sposobu utrwalania pamięci o nich". Przestrzeń o "grzebalnym przeznaczeniu", zwaną dalej przestrzenią sepulkralną, autor dzieli na otwartą (cmentarze na wolnym powietrzu) i zamkniętą (krypty, katakumby, kaplice grobowe). Zachodzące w przestrzeni sepulkralnej zjawiska turystyczne wynikają z zainteresowania turysty tą przestrzenią i związane są z zaspokajaniem jego określonych potrzeb. Problem badawczy polega na zidentyfikowaniu i opisaniu procesu poszerzania przestrzeni turystycznej o nowe przestrzenie, uważane pierwotnie za nieturystyczne. Taką przestrzenią jest m.in. przestrzeń sepulkralna. Jednocześnie należy pamiętać, że przestrzeń sepulkralna sama w sobie może stanowić przestrzeń turystyczną lub stanowić jej część. Przestrzeń sepulkralna otwarta, po spełnieniu określonych warunków może pełnić również funkcje rekreacyjne.

Wczoraj, dziś i jutro krajoznawstwa Wprowadzenie Coraz szybciej zmieniający się świat, postępujące procesy integracji i globalizacji, przenikanie się kultur, błyskawiczna dyfuzja innowacji, rozwój turystyki masowej i tzw. przemysłu czasu wolnego-to tylko niektóre z wielu zjawisk skłaniających do zadumy nad miejscem krajoznawstwa we współczesnym społeczeństwie. Okazja do refleksji jest przy tym niezwykła-110. rocznica powstania Polskiego Towarzystwa Krajoznawczego.

Spróbujmy jednak wymienić najważniejsze pytania, podkreślając przy tym główne dylematy, przed którymi stoi polskie krajoznawstwo w drugiej dekadzie XXI w. Za takie należy uznać m.in.: 1. Co w XXI w. oznacza pojęcie "krajoznawstwo"? Czy nadal można mówić o jego trzech warstwach znaczeniowych: funkcjonalnej, instytucjonalnej i kulturowo-społecznej? Czy w realiach globalnej gospodarki rynkowej i dążenia do komercjalizacji niemal wszystkiego ma rację bytu tego typu ruch społeczny? Czy w dobie indywidualizacji zachowań, niechęci do zrzeszania się, liberalizacji zasad i szerokiego poparcia dla wszelkich deregulacji jest jeszcze miejsce (zapotrzebowanie) na grupowe formy aktywności turystyczno-krajoznawczej? A może krajoznawstwo po prostu zmierza w stronę nieinstytucjonalnych form? 2. Jaką rolę powinno odgrywać krajoznawstwo w "erze Facebooka"-świecie globalnych mediów i nowoczesnych technologii?

El presente trabajo pretende senalar la existencia de locuciones que han heredado el vinculo lexico de las colocaciones, dar a conocer las caracteristicas formales y semanticas de estas ultimas y profundizar en el proceso semantico de metaforizacion que las convierte en locuciones. Este estudio resulta interesante de cara a la didactica del lexico de una lengua dos, en nuestro caso de la lengua espanola, dado que permite a los aprendices de E/LE, ademas de establecer una frontera fija entre distintos tipos de unidades fraseologicas que pueden en ocasiones funcionar como locuciones y colocaciones a la vez, aprender a reconocer las combinaciones frecuentes de palabras de una lengua y a reflexionar sobre su idiosincrasia a traves del contraste con su propia lengua.

El presente artículo es un modesto intento de ofrecer algunos ejemplos que demuestran la validez y la vigencia de la Teoría Cognitiva de la Metáfora y la Metonimia (TCMM) por medio de ejemplos extraídos del lenguaje técnico usado por los profesionales del sector turístico. Tal y como otros investigadores han señalado, la investigación en Lingüística Cognitiva y, especialmente, sobre la metáfora y la metonimia puede ser aplicada a varias disciplinas (ver Cameron y Low 1999). Nos referiremos aquí a los trabajos de algunos especialistas (Barcelona, 1997,2000 a, 2000 b, 2000 c; Kovecses y Radden, 1998 y Turner y Fauconnier, 2000) quienes han abierto nuevas líneas de investigación en la TCMM. La teoría resultante de tal investigación es extremadamente útil para la enseñanza del Inglés con Fines Específicos, particularmente en lo que se refiere a la semántica de cualquier campo. Como en cualquier otro tipo de jerga, el Inglés del Turismo es bastante difícil debido a la variedad y a la can...

Onomastics, a field within the humanities, focuses on the study of
proper names. It is closely intertwined with various broader disciplines,
including linguistics, ethnography, philology, history, philosophy,
and others. Names are “special words used to identify a person,
an animal, a place, or a thing, each carrying significance. In many
instances, this significance may be obscured within the name’s history,
while in others, it remains apparent” (Redmonds 2007, IX). One
subfield of onomastics is toponomy, which is the study of place names
in language. Place names, or toponyms, serve as geographical markers
in all languages. They are also artifacts of cultures and languages
intimately tied to the human conceptualization of spaces.

Este estudo traz um recorte de pesquisa de mestrado que investigou estratégias de cálculo mental utilizadas por alunos do 6º ano do ensino fundamental ao resolver cálculos de adição e subtração. A pesquisa foi de natureza qualitativa do tipo estudo de caso. O trabalho de campo foi realizado em uma turma de 6º ano de uma escola da rede de ensino estadual do Espírito Santo. Trabalhamos com os alunos uma atividade diagnóstica composta por quatro sequências de cálculos mentais divididas em: adição e subtração com parcela e resultado menor ou igual a 5, adição e subtração com parcelas e resultado menor ou igual a 10, adição e subtração com parcelas e resultado menor ou igual a 20 e adição e subtração com parcelas e resultado menor ou igual a 100. Neste texto as estratégias de cálculo mental de dois estudantes são apresentadas e analisadas assim como a influência dos afetos em seus desempenhos. Constatamos que a ansiedade e a tensão diante de atividades não rotineiras de cálculo mental influenciaram na escolha das estratégias utilizadas pelos estudantes. Portanto, existe a necessidade de ensinar diretamente estratégias de cálculo mental a fim de familiarizar os estudantes com esse tipo de atividade.

Drawing on Mental Spaces Theory and Conceptual Blending Theory in Cognitive Linguistics, we examine the interaction between speech and co-speech gestures in The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Statistical analysis shows that viewpoint shift in the self-built multimodal corpus, generally following the pattern: Base Space->News Narrative Space(->Base space)->Source Viewpoint Space(+)(->Base space), is significantly related to the use of verbal markers and gestural types. Moreover, multimodal viewpoint shift in political talk shows can achieve such rhetorical functions as enhancing ironic effects, solidifying and highlighting opposing positions, and simplifying political issues. Since verbal markers and gestures can mobilize the audience's embodied experience by primarily activating mental images and motor programs, we claim that mental simulation and perspective taking play a pivotal role in the cognitive processing of multimodal viewpoint shifts by promoting viewpoint alignment between the audience and the host.

The content of this article is a survey of the distribution and functions of the so-called enunciative particles in the Gascon dialect of Occitan. This is a well known topic in romance linguistics and particularly in Occitan studies, but our aim here is to treat the subject from a new perspective, widening the frame in order to include more complex contexts (as for example the different values of the particle se as an introducer of direct and indirect interrogatives), and taking evidentiality as a frame to consider the enunciative que and others like plan, be and ja. Eventually, we ask about the nature of que as it has followed a process of grammaticalization in some varieties of Gascon which apparently has lead it to lose its function as evidentiality marker and to display a purely declarative value; seemingly that function has been taken on by facultative particles as for example be and ja, for which a liaison between their role as modality markers and their adverbial origin is st...

En Uruguay, las leyes y decretos que tratan sobre los sordos o sobre la lengua de señas uruguaya se mueven entre dos grandes perspectivas: por un lado, el reconocimiento de los sordos como hablantes de lengua de señas; por otro, la inclusión de los sordos como un grupo más dentro de lo que usualmente se considera discapacidad. Debido a las particularidades de
la comunidad sorda, ambas posturas parecen excluirse mutuamente, ya que la protección de sus derechos como discapacitados lleva a instrumentar políticas que acaban lesionando su acceso a la cultura sorda y a la lengua de señas. Esto podría llevar a que las nuevas generaciones no se integren a la comunidad, comprometiendo su existencia a largo plazo.

Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar estratégias para o ensino de conteúdos de Matemática (porcentagem e resolução de problemas aritméticos) para alunos surdos do Ensino Fundamental, com a utilização de materiais pedagógicos autênticos, a partir de uma perspectiva bilíngue de ensino-aprendizagem - Libras e Língua Portuguesa escrita (Brasil, 2002; 2005). Wallon (1879-1995) e Vygotsky (1896-1934) foram abordados, pois destacam a importância do lúdico, das brincadeiras e do cumprimento de regras para o desenvolvimento da linguagem e da cognição, assim como para o amadurecimento psicológico, motor, sensorial e afetivo do aprendiz. A pesquisa baseou-se no Decreto 5.626/2005 sobre ensino ministrado de forma dialógica, funcional e instrumental e nos estudos de Morais e Cruz (2016, 2019) que se dedicam à produção de materiais didáticos para aprendizes surdos, a partir de recursos visuais e da Libras como língua de instrução e L1 desses aprendizes.

Neste artigo, buscamos apresentar ao leitor o resultado de uma revisão bibliográfica sistematizada realizada a partir de artigos científicos nacionais e internacionais publicados no período de 1930 a 2019 sobre problemas matemáticos no campo multiplicativo no escopo do ensino e aprendizagem de surdos. A escolha por um período de 90 anos tem por objetivo averiguar a evolução dessa temática no meio acadêmico brasileiro e internacional ao longo do tempo. Nosso principal intuito foi o de buscar identificar que enfoques têm sido mais frequentes nesses artigos e observar se eles têm ou não se mantido constantes. Como critério de seleção dos periódicos, foram utilizadas buscas com palavras-chave específicas que façam uma combinação entre surdez e problemas do campo multiplicativo em plataformas online de pesquisas acadêmicas. Como resultado, obtivemos 12 artigos, dos quais emergiram três categorias: identificação de dificuldades dos alunos surdos em aritmética, análise do modo como os alunos surdos operacionalizam a multiplicação e práticas docentes em sala de aula no ensino de aritmética para alunos surdos.

2024, Tesis doctoral

Las lenguas de señas -los sistemas gestuales usados por las comunidades sordas han sido estudiadas por lo menos desde los siglos XVIII y XIX, junto con otros sistemas gestuales, como los usados por los nativos norteamericanos o los habitantes del sur de Italia. A fines del siglo XIX, sin embargo, estos estudios se volvieron menos frecuentes, cuando las ciencias del lenguaje pusieron el foco en las lenguas orales, y especialmente a comienzos del siglo XX, cuando la lingüística saussureana descartó estos sistemas considerados pantomímicos o naturales por no cumplir el principio de arbitrariedad. Cuando resurge el interés por las lenguas de señas, a mediados del siglo XX, se hace desde una perspectiva diferente a la que caracterizaba los estudios gestuales de los siglos anteriores, poniendo el centro en su consideración como lenguas, esencialmente diferentes de los gestos usados por otras comunidades oyentes. El estudio de las lenguas de señas como lenguas y no como gestos, supuso aplicar a ellas las mismas herramientas de análisis que se habían desarrollado para la descripción de las lenguas orales, especialmente las provenientes de las corrientes formales, como el estructuralismo y el generativismo, y rechazar la existencia de estructuras o elementos que no se ajustaran a esos modelos. A fines del siglo XX y comienzos del siglo XXI, comienza a hacerse evidente que algunos problemas de los encontrados por la lingüística de las lenguas de señas son difíciles de resolver en base a estas herramientas, lo que lleva al surgimiento de varias propuestas alternativas, que comparten la idea de tomar distancia de la lingüística formal y de buscar herramientas propias que se ajusten a las necesidades de la disciplina. Al mismo tiempo, los estudios gestuales se revitalizan con la publicación de varios trabajos que revindican el aporte que los gestos hacen a la comunicación humana y los ponen al mismo nivel que las lenguas orales. En este trabajo se propone un análisis de la lengua de señas uruguaya como sistema de gestos, que a veces son arbitrarios, pero no siempre, y que forman estructuras que a veces son arbitrarias, pero no siempre. Un sistema de esta naturaleza requiere de un enfoque diferente del que ha predominado tradicionalmente en la lingüística de lenguas de señas. El enfoque que se propone adoptar aquí es la semiótica peirceana.

This study investigates whether there is a consistent category of auxiliaries for Tense, Aspect and Modality (TAM) marking or Agreement in Greek Sign Language (GSL). The study deals only with unbound grammatical markers, although, where necessary, bound TAM morphemes are also briefly discussed. These are described and compared with their possible counterparts in other signed and spoken languages, and their characteristics are examined from a cross-linguistic perspective. From the perspective of sign language linguistics, a study of free-signed elements provides additional insight into the linear (i.e. sequential) grammatical properties of GSL. While simultaneous morphological constructions (of a polysynthetic and non-concatenative nature) have been the focus of extensive research, some linear linguistic features of signed languages might need further exploration. Findings from the study indicate that GSL has signs that attach to the verb, similar to auxiliaries in spoken Greek or English. Characteristics of auxiliaries such as systematic use, use across all groups of verbs, and load of semantic content, as they are illustrated in classic studies on cross-linguistic tendencies (Greenberg 1968; Steele 1978), provide the framework needed to identify potential members of a category of auxiliaries in GSL. Research on a wide sample of languages tests the initial claim of a closed category AUX and shows that there is a broader, openended category of functional TAM and Agreement markers, some members of which are finally 'drawn' into a closed class of AUX, often just to move further into grammaticising into free or bound markers (see e.g. the semantic approaches of Bybee (1985); Bybee, Perkins & Pagliuca (1994); Dahl (1984); Heine (1993), among others). Taking these studies as a starting point, I discuss items in GSL that are at different stages in this continuum of grammaticisation, by examining the degree of desemanticisation, decategorisation, phonological reduction, and possible metaphorical shifts. Following an introduction, in the second chapter of the dissertation, I review

This study is designed to analyze the impact of socioeconomic condition, variant teaching methods, learners' attitude, and environment of school in the overall learning of English as a second language in different school types. In countries where English is a second language, the access to English in school has been limited to the upper strata of society while lower strata can only bear the fee of government schools which obstruct the acquisition of second language. Bilingualism is highly associated with the ability to use two language and this research is conducted to investigate the basic differences between teaching strategies, school environment and learners' attitude towards English as second language in different school types. All these factors are considered to address the contrasting ideologies of private schools and government schools which foster or restrict the process of bilingualism. Methodology: This study was designed quantitatively to gather data from 36 participants (12 from each school type i.e., government school, private school and semi government school). Questionnaire contained three sections and were distributed to participants between 20-30 years of age. Two particular teaching methods i.e. Grammar translation method and Communicative language teaching approaches are focused to investigate the impediment in advancement of bilingualism. Findings: Socioeconomic condition of family affects the choice of school where people with strong financial background prefer to admit their children in highly famous English language school. Bilingualism is prioritized in private school where appropriate environment is provided to the learners while other school types do not implement effective strategies which can help students in learning highly prestigious language. Conclusion: English grammar translation method and communicative learning teaching approaches are used differently in public and private schools which formulate different communicative competency of students. Recommendations: Future studies can be conducted to scrutinize the role of other teaching methods such as direct method, audio-lingual method, total physical response, and structural approach in different types of classrooms to assess the learning of English as second language.

Corpus-based contrastive linguistics has rarely been thoroughly explored with regards to cognitive awareness of the English as a Foreign Language (EFL), Arabic first language (L1) speaking learners. The current study, based on an intervention, quasi-experimental quantitative research design, aims at presenting a pedagogical implementation of learners' awareness driven instructions on contrastive linguistics between English and Arabic languages interchangeably. A purposefully selected sample of 69 beginner level (A1 CEFR) Saudi EFL learners were placed into an experimental group (n = 35) and a control group (n = 34). Learners in the experimental group were exposed to four grammatical contrastive linguistics criteria (between English and Arabic) over a 14-weeks semester duration, and the control group underwent a normal taught course with no intervention over the same teaching duration. Both groups were assessed via purposefully designed, 20-items grammar test before and after the 14-weeks duration. The gathered data was analysed with one sample and independent samples t-tests. The analysis revealed the outperformance of the experimental group compared to the control group in all four grammatical contrastive linguistics criteria. The study concludes with pedagogical implications on the principle of utilising contrastive linguistics as a pedagogical tool in an EFL context.

Social sciences researchers emphasize that new technologies can overcome the limitations of small and homogenous samples. In research on early language development, which often uses parental reports, taking the testing online might be particularly compelling. Due to logistical limitations, previous studies on bilingual children have explored the language development trajectories in general (e.g., by including few and largely set apart timepoints), or focused on small, homogeneous samples. The present study protocol presents a new, on-going study which uses new technologies to collect longitudinal data continuously from parents of multilingual, bilingual, and monolingual children. Our primary aim is to establish the developmental trajectories in Polish-British English and Polish-Norwegian bilingual children and Polish monolingual children aged 0–3 years with the use of mobile and web-based applications. These tools allow parents to report their children’s language development as it p...

While the arbitrariness of the sign has occupied a central space in linguistic theory for a century, counter-evidence to this basic tenet has been mounting. Recent findings from cross-linguistic studies on spoken languages have suggested that, contrary to purely arbitrary distributions of phonological content, languages often exhibit systematic and regular phonological and sub-phonological patterns of form-meaning mappings. To date, studies of distributional tendencies of this kind have not been conducted for signed languages. In an investigation of phoneme distribution in American Sign Language (ASL) and Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras), tokens of the claw-5 handshape were extracted and analyzed for whether the handshape contributed to the overall meaning of the sign. The data suggests that distribution of the claw-5 handshape is not randomly distributed across the lexicon, but clusters around six formmeaning patterns: convex-concave, Unitary-elements, non-compact matter, hand-as-hand, touch, and interlocking. Interestingly, feature-level motivations were uncovered as the source of the mappings These findings are considered within a new cognitive framework to better understand how and why sub-morphemic units develop and maintain motivated form-meaning mappings. The model proposed here, Embodied Cognitive Phonology, builds on cognitive and usage-based approaches but incorporates theories of embodiment to address the source of the claw-5 mappings. Embodied Cognitive Phonology provides a unifying framework for understanding the perceived differences in phonological patterning and organization across the modalities. Both language-internal and languageexternal sources of motivation contribute to the emergence of form-meaning mappings. Arbitrariness is argued to be but one possible outcome from the process of emergence and schematization of phonological content, and exists alongside motivation as a legitimate state of linguistic units of all sizes of complexity. Importantly, because language is dynamic, these states are not fixed, but are in continuous flux, as language users reinvent and reinterpret form and meaning over time.

To my advisor, Sherman Wilcox, thank you for throwing me into the deep end of the Cognitive Grammar pool. It was surely through this baptism by fire that I came to understand and appreciate the utility of cognitive approaches to language. Thank you for loudly disagreeing with me about Langackarian diagrams, in coffee shops, and obliging me to hold my own in theoretical debates. I am a better scholar for it. Phyllis Wilcox, it was your course on metaphor and metonymy in signed languages that started me thinking about the issues that later became my dissertation. Your insight into the interaction of form and meaning in signed languages inspired me to develop a model of phonology which captures the complexity of these relationships in ASL, and by extension showed me the untapped richness of spoken language phonology as well. You and Sherman have been my Albuquerque parents, thank you for welcoming me into your lives with open arms. To Jill Morford, thank you for showing me the 'ins and outs' of being an academic. Your professional, and personal guidance have helped me to strike a balance which I think many in our profession sorely lack. You lead by example, and are a role model for me in so many ways. Thank you for being the ultimate advocate. To Joan Bybee, our conversations about the intersections of signed and spoken language analysis have been instrumental in shaping the way in which I think about phonology/morphology. During my graduate career, "the blue book" was a bible, in that no matter the question that arose, that book would always point me in the right direction. Thank you for holding me to high standards and challenging me to explain myself in a clear and concise manner. To Teenie Matlock, getting to know has been one of the highlights of writing my dissertation. I was so pleased to find out that in addition to your inspiring research on cognitive semantics, you are also such a wonderful person. To my colleagues, Benjamin Anible, Ryan Lepic, and Logan Sutton, thank you for listening, arguing, and diagramming "all the things" with me. I can't imagine how intellectually stunted my graduate career would have been without your challenges and support. Keiko Beers, Susan Brumbaugh, Shelece Easterday, Brittany Fallon, and Laura Hirrel, thank you for being the fierce feminists that you are. Thank you for lifting me up. You will probably never know what your friendships have meant to me. To my parents, Maureen and Lance, without whom I would not be the woman I am today, thank you for encouraging me to splash in puddles and make 'stews' out of leaves, berries and twigs from the backyard. You fostered a curious mind and a love of learning that will no doubt lead me on countless more adventures. To my siblings, Corbin, Molly, Megan, and Morgan, I am cosmically lucky to have you in my life. It amazes me every day how different we all are, and yet how each one of you contribute something amazing to the world in your own way. From the frozen tundra to the semi-arid desert, you have supported me every step of the way. Thank you for believing in me. To the unnamed entities who have impacted my life in various ways over the years, the road has been long and winding, thank you for helping me find my way. For your continued guidance, love, and patience I am eternally grateful. v

Purpose-Using a newly compiled corpus module consisting of utterances from Asian learners during L2 English interviews, this study examined how Asian EFL learners' L1s (Chinese, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese and Thai), their L2 proficiency levels (A2, B1 low, B1 upper and B2þ) and speech task types (picture descriptions, roleplays and QA-based conversations) affected four aspects of vocabulary usage (number of tokens, standardized type/token ratio, mean word length and mean sentence length). Design/methodology/approach-Four aspects concern speech fluency, lexical richness, lexical complexity and structural complexity, respectively. Findings-Subsequent corpus-based quantitative data analyses revealed that (1) learner/native speaker differences existed during the conversation and roleplay tasks in terms of the number of tokens, type/token ratio and sentence length; (2) an L1 group effect existed in all three task types in terms of the number of tokens and sentence length; (3) an L2 proficiency effect existed in all three task types in terms of the number of tokens, type-token ratio and sentence length; and (4) the usage of high-frequency vocabulary was influenced more strongly by the task type and it was classified into four types: Type A vocabulary for grammar control, Type B vocabulary for speech maintenance, Type C vocabulary for negotiation and persuasion and Type D vocabulary for novice learners. Originality/value-These findings provide clues for better understanding L2 English vocabulary usage among Asian learners during speech.

The paper reveals and describes the causes of communicative failures from a perspective of the intersubjective approach to communication incorporating basic assumptions of psycholinguistics. It introduces a unit of communication analysis called an intersubjective act. It is defined as an inter-action, where verbal/non-verbal communicative actions of addressers are viewed as perceptual stimuli that, coming into the focus of addressees’ attention, trigger parallel conscious/non-conscious inference processes involving cognition, volition, and affect to issue a command of a communicative and/or (immediate or postponed) social action. Inferential analysis applied in the research provides tools for the recreation of communicants’ inferential processes and allows consideration of perceptual, cognitive, affective, and volitional aspects of interaction. Inferential analysis handles American cinema discourse represented by the genre of a situation comedy that models live communication, supply...
