When the word was skipped or fixated only briefly (i.e., up to 100 ms) readers were more likely to report reading the parafoveal than the fixated word, suggesting that there are cases in which readers look directly at a word but their minds ignore it, leading to the illusion of reading something they did not fixate.}, language = {en} } @article{GerstenbergLindholm2019, author = {Gerstenberg, Annette and Lindholm, Camilla}, title = {Language and aging research}, series = {Linguistics vanguard}, volume = {5}, journal = {Linguistics vanguard}, number = {s2}, publisher = {De Gruyter}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {2199-174X}, doi = {10.1515/lingvan-2019-0025}, pages = {6}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Our introduction to the special collection gives an overview of the research projects which were originally presented at the third CLARe network conference.

Background: The role of spatial semantics in language understanding is assumed by modern cognition theories and confirmed in experimental studies. Hypotheses: Based on conceptual metaphor theory, a number of hypotheses are proposed in the present study: different semantic categories of nouns (e.g., tools vs. animals vs. emotions etc.) should significantly differ in their spatial semantics as well; different semantic categories of abstract nouns (e.g., mental states vs. emotions vs. physical sensations) should also differ in their spatial semantics, as the latter is included in their conceptual structure; mental states and phenomena (e.g., imagination, thought or memory) should have higher values (i.e., be located higher in the virtual subjective space) than any other abstract concepts; emotional concepts (e.g., love, disgust or happiness) should be located higher than physical sensations (e.g., pain or softness); positive emotions (like joy or euphoria) should be located higher than negative ones (like feeling of guilt or disappointment). Methods: Statistical methods (parametric and non-parametric ones) are used in order to test the hypotheses. As additional cross-testing methods corpora data and expert assessment are included. Results: The results of the study confirmed all the hypotheses. A number of additional regularities were revealed: in general, abstract concepts get higher values on a scale, i.e., are located higher in the virtual subjective space than concrete ones; tool concepts are related more to the lower space, unlike sound concepts that are related to higher space. No difference was found between action concepts (like attack or running) and physical sensations. Discussion: The results obtained can also be explained in terms of other theories within the embodied cognition framework, as it is discussed in the conclusion (words as social tools by A. Borghi and F. Binkofski; ideas by G. Vigliocco and neurosemantic approach by F. Pulvermuller). The need in an integrative model and larger studies with other semantic categories is underlined.}, language = {ru} } @article{Zimmermann2018, author = {Zimmermann, Malte}, title = {Wird Schon Stimmen!}, series = {Journal of semantics}, volume = {35}, journal = {Journal of semantics}, number = {4}, publisher = {Oxford Univ.

The alternatives are determined by focus in the case of aspectual schon (Krifka 2000), but are restricted to the polar alternatives p and ¬p in the case of modal schon. Semantically, modal schon introduces a presupposition to the effect that the circumstantial conversational background contains more factual evidence in favor of p than in favor of ¬p⁠, thereby making modal schon the not at-issue counterpart of the overt comparative form eher 'rather' (Herburger \& Rubinstein 2014).

We have examined this claim by comparing cross-modal root-priming effects elicited by Hebrew verbs of a productive, open-ended class (Piel) and verbs of a closed-class (Paal). Morphological priming effects were obtained for both verb types, but prime-target semantic relatedness interacted with class, and only modulated responses following Paal, but not Piel primes. We explain these results by postulating different types of morpho-lexical representation for the different classes: structured stems, in the case of Piel, and whole-stems (which lack internal morphological structure), in the case of Paal.

A more equal role of word order and prosody in the ambient language can stimulate more extensive use of prosody in the marked word order, whereas a more limited role of word order can restrict the use of prosody in the unmarked word order.}, language = {en} } @article{KrugStuebnerHoffmannetal.2019, author = {Krug, Ragna and St{\"u}bner, Hanna and Hoffmann, Sophie and Heide, Judith}, title = {Die Behandlung dysprosodischer Symptome bei Sprechapraxie}, series = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, journal = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, number = {11}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-448-7}, issn = {1866-9085}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-43780}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-437808}, pages = {135 -- 142}, year = {2019}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{BarqueroPipin2019, author = {Barquero Pip{\´i}n, Antonio Carlos}, title = {Lengua, cultura, interculturalidad}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-480-7}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-43902}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-439023}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {429}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Ohne Pragmatik w{\"a}re Kommunikation nicht m{\"o}glich, da wir sprachliche Aussagen nicht interpretieren k{\"o}nnten.

Akan has two types of wh-question structures (wh-in-situ and wh-ex-situ questions), which allows an investigation of children's acquisition of these two question structures and their preferences for one or the other. Our results show that adults prefer to use wh-ex-situ questions over wh-in-situ questions. The results from the children show that both age groups have the two question structures in their linguistic repertoire. However, they differ in their preferences in usage in the elicited production task: while the 5-year-olds preferred the wh-in-situ structure over the wh-ex-situ structure, the 4-year-olds showed a selective preference for the wh-in-situ structure in who-questions. These findings suggest a developmental change in wh-question preferences in Akan-learning children between 4 and 5 years of age with a so far unobserved u-shaped developmental pattern. In the elicited imitation task, all groups showed a strong tendency to maintain the structure of in-situ and ex-situ questions in repeating grammatical questions. When repairing ungrammatical ex-situ questions, structural changes to grammatical in-situ questions were hardly observed but the insertion of missing morphemes while keeping the ex-situ structure.

A read-aloud is a whole-group instructional activity which involves a teacher read-ing aloud a book to a cohort of students as they listen (Tainio \& Slotte, 2017). Using ethnomethodological conversation analysis (EMCA) and drawing on the concepts of alignment and affi liation (Steensig, 2012; Stivers, 2008; Stivers et al., 2011), we investigate how embodied practices such as gaze, facial expressions, body positioning and gestures in addition to verbal practices are used by the teacher separately and together to respond to learner turns in ways that keep the learners aff ectively engaged and, at the same time, ensure the orderly progression of the lesson. Our analysis shows that teacher cooperative management of learners' turns involves: (1) orient-ing to them as affi liative tokens in order to neutralize their disaligning force while still treating learners as cooperative participants in the activity; and (2) managing turns not only according to their sequential positions and the actions they project but, just as importantly, to the larger instructional proj-ect being accomplished.

F{\"u}r die prosodische Dom{\"a}ne der phonologischen Phrase und der Intonationsphrase gilt als belegt, dass sie h{\"a}upts{\"a}chlich durch phonetische Parameter der pr{\"a}finalen Dehnung (Lehiste, 1973; Klatt, 1976; Price et al., 1991; Turk \& White, 1999), der Pausendauer (Fant \& Kruckenberg, 1996) und der Ver{\"a}nderung der Grundfrequenz (Pierrehumbert, 1980) ausgedr{\"u}ckt werden, wobei die phonetischen grenzmarkierenden Eigenschaften eher quantitativer als qualitativer Natur sind. Ebenfalls ist bekannt, dass auf der anderen Seite H{\"o}rer diese phonetischen Eigenschaften der Sprecher nutzen, um die prosodische Struktur einer {\"A}ußerung zu ermitteln (Snedeker \& Trueswell, 2003; Kraljic \& Brennan, 2005). Perzeptuelle Evidenz aus dem Englischen und Niederl{\"a}ndischen deuten allerdings darauf hin, dass sich Sprachen hinsichtlich der entscheidenden Korrelate, die f{\"u}r die Perzeption der Dom{\"a}nen konsultiert werden, unterscheiden (Aasland \& Baum, 2003; Sanderman \& Collier, 1997; Scott, 1982; Streeter, 1978). Die grenzmarkierenden phonetischen Korrelate der Dom{\"a}nen werden in der Perzeption unterschiedlich stark gewichtet, was sich im Konzept eines sprachspezifischen prosodischen cue weightings ausdr{\"u}ckt. F{\"u}r das Deutsche ist allerdings nicht hinreichend bekannt, welche dieser drei phonetischen Parameter die wichtigste Rolle f{\"u}r die Perzeption der phonologischen Phrasengrenze und der Intonationsphrasengrenze spielt. Ziel der Dissertation war es, diejenigen phonetischen Merkmale zu identifizieren, die f{\"u}r die Perzeption der phonologischen Phrasengrenze und der Intonationsphrasengrenze entscheidend sind und sich somit f{\"u}r die Bildung der jeweiligen prosodischen Phrasengrenze als notwendig herausstellen. Die Identifikation und Gewichtung eines phonetischen Merkmals erfolgte in der vorliegenden Arbeit durch die Effekte prosodischer Manipulation der phonetischen Korrelate an phonologischen Phrasengrenzen und Intonationsphrasengrenzen auf die Disambiguierung lokaler syntaktischer Ambiguit{\"a}ten in der Perzeption. Der Einfluss einzelner phonetischer Merkmale wurde in einem forced-choice Experiment evaluiert, bei dem H{\"o}rern syntaktisch ambige Satzfragmente auditiv pr{\"a}sentiert wurden und ihnen anschließend die Aufgabe zukam, aus einer Auswahl an disambiguierenden Satzvervollst{\"a}ndigung zu w{\"a}hlen. Die Anzahl der ausgew{\"a}hlten Satzvervollst{\"a}ndigungen pro Satzbedingung {\"a}nderte sich in Abh{\"a}ngigkeit der prosodischen Manipulation der pr{\"a}finalen Dehnung, der Pausendauer und der Grundfrequenz, wodurch der Einfluss eines einzelnen phonetischen Merkmals auf den Disambiguierungsprozess sichtbar wurde. Ein phonetischer Parameter wurde genau dann als notwendig klassifiziert, wenn sich durch seine Manipulation die F{\"a}higkeit zur Disambiguierung der syntaktischen Strukturen signifikant reduzierte, oder g{\"a}nzlich scheiterte, und somit die Wahrnehmung prosodischer Kategorien beinflusst wurde (Heldner, 2001). Hat sich in der Perzeption ein phonetisches Merkmal als notwendig herausgestellt, wurde nachfolgend eine optimalit{\"a}tstheoretische Modellierung vorgeschlagen, die die phonetischen Eigenschaften auf eine (abstrakte) phonologische Strukturerstellung beschreibt. Dieser Verarbeitungsschritt entspricht dem Teilbereich des Perzeptionsprozesses, der in Boersma \& Hamann (2009), Escudero (2009) und F{\´e}ry et al. (2009) unter anderen als Phonetik-Phonologie-Mapping beschrieben wird. Die Dissertation hat folgende Hauptergebnisse hervorgebracht: (1) F{\"u}r die Perzeption phonologischer Phrasengrenzen und Intonationsphrasengrenzen werden nicht alle messbaren phonetischen Grenzmarkierungen gleichermaßen stark genutzt. Das phonetische Merkmal der pr{\"a}finalen Dehnung ist auf der Ebene der kleineren prosodischen Dom{\"a}ne, der phonologischen Phrase, notwendig. Die Information der Grundfrequenz in der Form von Grenzt{\"o}nen ist in der gr{\"o}ßeren Dom{\"a}ne der Intonationsphrase notwendig und damit ausschlaggebend f{\"u}r die Perzeption der prosodischen Phrasengrenze. (2) Auf der Ebene der φ-Phrase werden phonetische Eigenschaften der segmentalen Dauer in Form pr{\"a}finalen Dehnung zur Bildung abstrakter phonologischer Repr{\"a}sentationen herangezogen werden. L{\"a}ngenconstraints schreiben syntaktische Konstituenten aufgrund ihrer Inputdauern einer prosodischen Kategorie zu. Inputdauern der ersten Nominalphrase von 500ms und mehr signalisieren Finalit{\"a}t und sind durch eine φ- Grenze am rechten Rand markiert. Inputdauern von 400ms und weniger signalisieren Kontinuit{\"a}t und werden durch das Ausbleiben einer φ-Grenze am rechten Rand der ersten Nominalphrase markiert. Inputdauern, die zwischen den kritischen L{\"a}ngen von 400ms und 500ms variieren sind bez{\"u}glich der Bildung von φ- Grenzen ambig und k{\"o}nnen in der Perzeption nicht eindeutig disambiguiert werden. (3) Auf der Ebene der ι-Phrase wird die Bildung einer prosodischen Struktur durch die reine tonale Kontur (steigend oder fallend) an der ersten Nominalphrase gelenkt. Eine fallende Grundfrequenzkontur an der ersten Nominalphrase signalisiert Finalit{\"a}t und wird durch eine ι-Grenze am rechten Rand markiert. Eine steigende Kontur an der ersten Nominalphrase signalisiert phrasale Kontinuit{\"a}t und ist bei den vorliegenden S{\"a}tzen der Genitivbedingung gerade durch das Ausbleiben einer ι-Grenze auf der phonologischen Repr{\"a}sentationseben gekennzeichnet.}, language = {en} } @book{Pili2003, author = {Pili, Diana}, title = {On A- and A`- dislocation in the left periphery}, publisher = {Univ.-Bibl., Publ.-Stelle}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-935024-59-4}, issn = {1616-7392}, pages = {273}, year = {2003}, language = {en} } @article{FuhrmeisterSmithMyers2020, author = {Fuhrmeister, Pamela and Smith, Garrett and Myers, Emily B.}, title = {Overlearning of non-native speech sounds does not result in superior consolidation after a period of sleep}, series = {The journal of the Acoustical Society of America}, volume = {147}, journal = {The journal of the Acoustical Society of America}, number = {3}, publisher = {American Institute of Physics}, address = {Melville}, issn = {0001-4966}, doi = {10.1121/10.0000943}, pages = {EL289 -- EL294}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Recent studies suggest that sleep-mediated consolidation processes help adults learn non-native speech sounds.

In contrast to previous studies, participants in this study heard sounds in limited contexts (i.e., one talker and one vowel context), corroborating other findings, suggesting that overnight improvement is seen in non-native phonetic learning when variability is limited.}, language = {en} } @article{Starke2020, author = {Starke, Andreas}, title = {Der Modifikationsansatz in der Stottertherapie am Beispiel der „VIERMALF{\"U}NF Intensiven Intervalltherapie Stottern" in Zeiten der Evidenzbasierung}, series = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, journal = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, number = {12}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-479-1}, issn = {1866-9085}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-46948}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-469484}, pages = {25 -- 59}, year = {2020}, language = {de} } @article{RichardtPruess2020, author = {Richardt, Kiraten and Pr{\"u}ß, Holger}, title = {Bonner Stotterherapie}, number = {12}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-479-1}, issn = {1866-9085}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-46949}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-469491}, pages = {61 -- 78}, year = {2020}, language = {de} } @article{WieheWeilandWirsametal.2020, author = {Wiehe, Lea and Weiland, Katharina and Wirsam, Anke and Hartung, Julia and Wahl, Michael}, title = {Pilotstudie zum lauten und leisen Lesen}, series = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, journal = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, number = {12}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-479-1}, issn = {1866-9085}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-46953}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-469539}, pages = {109 -- 123}, year = {2020}, language = {de} } @article{ElMeskioui2020, author = {El Meskioui, Martina}, title = {Stottern in Schule und Beruf}, series = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, journal = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, number = {12}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-46950}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-469507}, pages = {79 -- 92}, year = {2020}, language = {de} } @article{IvenHansen2020, author = {Iven, Claudia and Hansen, Bernd}, title = {Palin Parent-Child Interaction Therapy}, series = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, journal = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, number = {12}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-479-1}, issn = {1866-9085}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-46946}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-469469}, pages = {1 -- 11}, year = {2020}, language = {de} } @article{Anders, author = {Anders, Kristina}, title = {Die Kasseler Stottertherapie}, series = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, journal = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, number = {12}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-479-1}, issn = {1866-9085}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-46947}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-469475}, pages = {13 -- 24}, language = {de} } @article{Haase2020, author = {Haase, Tobias}, title = {R{\"u}ckfallvorsorge, Lebensqualit{\"a}t und Sprech(un)fl{\"u}ssigkeit}, series = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, journal = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, number = {12}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-46951}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-469515}, pages = {93 -- 99}, year = {2020}, language = {de} } @article{UngerBuschmannSeefeldetal.2020, author = {Unger, Julia and Buschmann, Anke and Seefeld, Martin and Mahlberg, Lea}, title = {Die Bedeutung der Selbsthilfe zum Erreichen pers{\"o}nlicher Therapieziele bei stotternd sprechenden Erwachsenen}, series = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, journal = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, number = {12}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-479-1}, issn = {1866-9085}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-46952}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-469521}, pages = {101 -- 107}, year = {2020}, language = {de} } @article{BrekellerRyll2020, author = {Brekeller, Sophie and Ryll, Katja}, title = {Wortabruftherapie bei Restaphasie}, series = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, journal = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, number = {12}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-479-1}, issn = {1866-9085}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-46965}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-469656}, pages = {247 -- 257}, year = {2020}, language = {de} } @article{SchneiderKutzKapsetal.2020, author = {Schneider, Kathleen and Kutz, Anne and Kaps, Hella and Frank, Ulrike}, title = {Dysarthria Impact Profile -

Based on a wide survey, this paper attempts a more precise description of the pattern of VP directionality across Balkan Turkic and shows that there is considerable variation in how prevalent VX order is, a pattern that turns out to be more complex than the previous descriptions suggest: Two spectrums of directionality can be discerned between XV and VX orders, contingent upon type of the dependent of the verb and dialect locale. The paper also explores the grammatical causes underlying this shift in constituent order. First, VX order seems to be dependent upon whether a clause is nominal or not. Nonfinite clauses of the nominal type have XV order across Balkan Turkic, while finite clauses and nonfinite clauses of the converbial type show differing degrees of VX order depending on type of dependent and geographical location. Second, VX order appears to be an outcome of verb movement to the left of the dependent in finite clauses and nonfinite clauses of the converbial type, rather than head parameter shift.}, language = {en} } @article{JacobKatsikaFamilyetal.2017, author = {Jacob, Gunnar and Katsika, Kalliopi and Family, Neiloufar and Allen, Shanley E.

We discuss our results on the basis of two current theoretical accounts of cross-linguistic priming, and conclude that neither an account based on combinatorial nodes nor an account assuming that constituent order is directly responsible for the priming effect can fully explain our data pattern.

We examined event-related brain potentials (ERPs) during the silent production of regularly vs. irregularly inflected verb forms (viz. -t vs. -n participles of German) in groups of eight- to ten-year-olds, eleven- to thirteen-year-olds, and adults. The adult data revealed an enhanced (right-frontal) negativity 300-450 ms after cue onset for the (silent) production of -t relative to -n past participle forms (e.g. geplant vs. gehauen 'planned' vs. 'hit'). For the eleven- to thirteen-year-olds, the same enhanced negativity was found, with a more posterior distribution and a longer duration (=300-550 ms). The eight- to ten-year-olds also showed this negativity, again with a posterior distribution, but with a considerably delayed onset (800-1,000 ms). We suggest that this negativity reflects combinatorial processing required for producing -t participles in both children and adults and that the spatial and temporal modulations of this ERP effect across the three participant groups are due to developmental changes of the brain networks involved in processing morphologically complex words.}, language = {en} } @article{LaurinaviehyuteChrabaszczFarizovaetal.2016, author = {Laurinaviehyute, Anna K. and Chrabaszcz, Anna V. and Farizova, Nina O. and Tolkacheva, Valeria A. and Dragoy, Olga V.}, title = {Влияние сенсомоторных стереотипоВ на понимание пространстВенных конструкций}, series = {Voprosy Jazykoznanij}, journal = {Voprosy Jazykoznanij}, number = {3}, publisher = {Nauka}, address = {Moskva}, issn = {0373-658X}, doi = {10.31857/S0373658X0001002-1}, pages = {99 -- 109}, year = {2016}, abstract = {In an eye-tracking study we tested the hypothesis that comprehension is facilitated by a match between the order of the verb and its arguments in a sentence and the order of the actual sensorimotor interaction with these objects (for example, in the phrase put the bag into the box, the order of the arguments corresponds to the order of motor actions: take the bag, put it into the box) could facilitate comprehension of such constructions.

Previous studies suggest that infants can fail to individuate objects in ambiguous occlusion events until their first birthday and that learning words for the objects may play a crucial role in the development of this ability. The present eye-tracking study tested whether the classical object individuation experiments underestimate young infants' ability to individuate objects and the role word learning plays in this process. Three groups of 6-month-old infants (N = 72) saw two opaque boxes side by side on the eye-tracker screen so that the content of the boxes was not visible. During a familiarization phase, two visually identical objects emerged sequentially from one box and two visually different objects from the other box. For one group of infants the familiarization was silent (Visual Only condition). For a second group of infants the objects were accompanied with nonsense words so that objects' shape and linguistic labels indicated the same number of objects in the two boxes (Visual \& Language condition). For the third group of infants, objects' shape and linguistic labels were in conflict (Visual vs. Language condition). Following the familiarization, it was revealed that both boxes contained the same number of objects (e.g. one or two). In the Visual Only condition, infants looked longer to the box with incorrect number of objects at test, showing that they could individuate objects using visual cues alone. In the Visual \& Language condition infants showed the same looking pattern. However, in the Visual vs Language condition infants looked longer to the box with incorrect number of objects according to linguistic labels. The results show that infants can individuate objects in a complex object individuation paradigm considerably earlier than previously thought and that linguistic cues enforce their own preference in object individuation. The results are consistent with the idea that when language and visual information are in conflict, language can exert an influence on how young infants reason about the visual world.}, language = {en} } @article{Mucha2017, author = {Mucha, Anne}, title = {Past interpretation and graded tense in Medumba}, series = {Natural language semantics : an international journal of semantics and its interfaces in grammar}, volume = {25}, journal = {Natural language semantics : an international journal of semantics and its interfaces in grammar}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Dordrecht}, issn = {0925-854X}, doi = {10.1007/s11050-016-9128-1}, pages = {1 -- 52}, year = {2017}, abstract = {This paper provides a formal semantic analysis of past interpretation in Medumba (Grassfields Bantu), a graded tense language.

Instead, the Medumba markers are most appropriately analyzed as quantificational tenses. It also turns out that Medumba, though belonging to the typological class of graded tense languages, shows intriguing similarities to genuinely tenseless languages in allowing for temporally unmarked sentences and exploiting aspectual and pragmatic cues for reference time resolution. The more general cross-linguistic implication of the study is that the set of languages often subsumed under the label "graded tense" does not in fact form a natural class and that more case-by-case research is needed to refine this category.}, language = {en} } @article{HaendlerAdani2018, author = {Haendler, Yair and Adani, Flavia}, title = {Testing the effect of an arbitrary subject pronoun on relative clause comprehension}, series = {Journal of child language}, volume = {45}, journal = {Journal of child language}, number = {4}, publisher = {Cambridge Univ.

Previous work has identified several theoretical possibilities for the underlying locus of impairment in surface dyslexia. In this study, we systematically investigated whether children with surface dyslexia showed different patterns of reading performance that could be traced back to different underlying levels of impairment. To do this, we tested 12 English readers, replicating previous work in Hebrew (Gvion \& Friedmann, 2013; 2016; Friedmann \& Lukov, 2008; Friedmann \& Gvion, 2016). In our sample, we found that poor irregular word reading was associated with deficits at the level of the orthographic input lexicon and with impaired access to meaning and spoken word forms after processing written words in the orthographic input lexicon. There were also children whose surface dyslexia seemed to be caused by impairments of the phonological output lexicon. We suggest that further evidence is required to unequivocally support a fourth pattern where the link between orthography and meaning is intact while the link between orthography and spoken word forms is not functioning.

However, in our view, there has not yet been given a due consideration and certainly not recognition as a genuine new territory of word formation. This is the reason to write a short review in order to give this book the consideration it has by large and far deserved. For in this book, two theoretically interesting working hypotheses are represented and covered by numerous examples of the Czech contemporary language: (i) conversion is the central process (not derivation), and (ii) conversion belongs to morphology and not (just) to word formation. The book is divided into 9 sections. The section 1 (p. 13-14) gives the road map of the book, in section 2 (p. 15-42), the central concern about the position of word as a central unit of morphology (form formation) is established. In this chapter, the traditional views of Czech descriptive and Academic grammars but also manuals and handbooks or teacher's books for high schools are reviewed. In most of them, word formation is considered being a part of lexicology, and not an integral part of morphology or better form formation. The review serves not only the improvement towards a unifying grammatical terminology in academic circles (university and academy of science) but it should also improve the quality of teaching at elementary and high schools (cf. 2.6., p. 31-42: Školsk{\´y} exkurz). Bednař{\´i}kov{\´a} is famous for her leading role as missing link between the Academia and the consumers of grammars. In chapter 3, entitled N{\´a}vrat slova 'The return of the word' (into the Morphology, p. 43-54), arguments in favor of a morphological approach are raised. In this important methodological chapter, the main reasons are given why the word must be a central part of the form formation (morphology/grammar) and not of the lexicology. In addition, key terms such as stem, root and affix are subject to revision. The chapter is very brief, but very precise in its reasoning and arguments, in which the formal teaching is assigned a central supporting role in the context of conversion and transposition. In chapter 4 Slovo jako slovn{\´i} druh ('The word as a pars orationis', p. 55-70), the syntactic function of transposition of one pars orationis to another with the means of conversion is considered. In Chapter 5, the central role of morphology for word formation is analyzed taking as starting point Mel'čuks theory which is understood as the analysis of morphological processes (cf. Mel'čuk, I. 2000. Morphological processes. In G. Booji, Ch. Lehmann, J. Mugdan, \& S. Skopeteas (eds.), Morphologie/Morphology. Vol. 1, 523-535. Berlin \& New York). The innovative part of the book are without any doubt the chapters 6-9, in which the internal structure of the word is introduced (chapter 6, 79-122), furthermore the part of speech transfer (or PS Transfer) including the conversion (Chapter 7, 123-149), once more the transposition understood as the shift from one part of speech to the other and concentrating on nouns, verbs and adjectives (Chapter 8, 150-201), and, finally, transflexion, "transflexe" (chapter 9, 203-219), which belongs rather to the domain of derivation than to a new type of word formation, and which does not include the transposition from one part of speech to another but rather the transition from one declension class to another. However, it is to be criticized that in some chapters, certain systematics are missing (this is expressed for example in the repetition of the same phenomenon in several places), and the illustrations in the form of derivation trees or the abbreviations are not always transparent and explicitly defined. It took a very long time until I received information about the abbreviation "S". I would now like to give a short statement concerning the innovative potential and the contribution of the book itself as compared to the western standard on the same topic. At the beginning of the monograph, the author raises the central concerns of her two hypotheses. In her study, she is concerned with the bases of morphemic analysis of word formation and with the function of the syntagma. In view of methodology, two central acts of actualization are, following Mathesius' terminology, under review: first, the category called "pojmenov{\´a}vac{\´i}", and second, the category called "usouvztažňovac{\´i}" (cf. also Mathesius, V. 1982. Jazyk, kultura a slovesnost; Daneš, F. 1991.Mathesiova koncepce funkčn{\´i} gramatiky v kontextu dnešn{\´i} jazykovědy. In SaS 52. 161-174 and Panevov{\´a}, J. 2010. Kategorie pojmenov{\´a}vac{\´i} a usouvztažňovac{\´i} [Jak František Daneš rozv{\´i}j{\´i} Vil{\´e}ma Mathesia]. In S. Čmejrkov{\´a} \& J. Hoffmannov{\´a} ad. [eds.], Už{\´i}v{\´a}n{\´i} a prož{\´i}v{\´a}n{\´i} jazyka, 21-26.). Her major concern is thus to establish a missing link between an analysis of word formation and form formation (morphology). Her morphemic analysis of word formation processes wants to "combat traditional school views of word formation as a (mechanical) connection of the root, prefix, and suffix". Doing so, she analyzes in the book the relationship between transfer, transposition (as change of partes orationis) and conversion (as the operation process serving transposition). In the last chapter 8, BSJK re-introduces and refines the term transflection (BSJK 2009,13). This book is important for its consistent satisfactory treatment of the term conversion as a morphological process in the Czech tradition; still we cannot confirm that in European context, this topic would be "seriously under-researched" (cited from the introduction, Chapter 1, p. 13). The contrary is true, in context of English word formation besides the most influential work by Marchand (Marchand, H. 1996. The categories and types of present-day English word-formation: A synchronic diachronic approach. 2nd ed. M{\"u}nchen), conversion as the most productive process of word formation has become perhaps the most researched object recently: to mention just a few influential monographs: Martsa, S. 2013. Conversion in English: A Cognitive Semantic Approach. Cambridge; Vogel, P. M. 1996. Wortarten und Wortartenwechsel. Berlin \& New York. The word formation called conversion originally comes from analytic languages such as English and French. Especially English is a language in which the derivation of a noun from a verb and vice versa causes a considerable large amount of homonymous forms in the dictionary and of course, this is not just a problem of morphology but especially a problem of any theoretical approach to language acquisition, cognitive semantics or even generative morphosyntax. Thus, in his seminal book, Language Instinct (1995), Steven Pinker argues persuasively that prescriptive grammar rules disallowing, among other things, the sentence-final use of prepositions, the splitting of infinitives and the conversion of nouns to verbs are both useless and nonsensical (371-379). As regards the conversion of nouns to verbs, he says: "[i]n fact the easy conversion of nouns to verbs has been part of English grammar for centuries; it is one of the processes that make English English" (ibidem: 379). To illustrate the easiness characterizing this type of conversion, he lists verbs converted from nouns designating human body parts, some of which are reproduced in (1): (1) head a committee, scalp a missionary, eye a babe, nose around the office, mouth the lyrics, tongue each note on the flute, neck in the back seat, back the candidate, arm the militia, shoulder the burden, elbow your way in, finger the culprit, knuckle under, thumb a ride, belly up to the bar, stomach someone's complaints, knee the goalie, leg it across the town, foot the bill, toe the line (cf. Pinker, S. 1995. The Language Instinct. New York, 379-380 and Pinker, S. 1996. Language learnability and language development. Cambridge MA) Pinker estimates that approximately a fifth of English verbs originate from nouns, which, as documented extensively in Clark \& Clark (Clark, E. V. \& H. H. Clark. 1979. When nouns surface as verbs. In Language 55. 767-811), may also have to do with the fact that new or innovative verbs in English arise predominantly from conversion of nouns to verbs. Without questioning the dominance of noun to verb conversion, I shall claim in this review that it is not only the easy conversion of verbs from nouns, but, more broadly, conversion as a word-formation process that makes English English. Consider, for instance, (2) below demonstrating that the easiness of forming conversion verbs equally characterizes, though in a lesser degree, the conversion of nouns from verbs. The expressions given in (2) are modelled on Pinker's above examples by the seminal work of S{\´a}ndor Martsa (2013. Conversion in English: A Cognitive Semantic Approach. Cambridge), and they contain nouns converted from verbs designating actions functionally related to different parts of the human body. (2) have your say, give a shout, let out a shriek / a cry, give a talk, take a look at the notes, keep a close watch, down the whisky with a swallow, have a chew on it, have a smell of this cheese, with a smile, the touch of her fingers, Hey! Nice catch! go for a run, it's worth a go, go for a walk Thus, the major difference between the term konverze as introduced and defended in BSJK (2009, 149) on one hand, and the English type of conversion mostly called "Zero-Derivation" by a zero morpheme (as Marchand 1969 op. cit., has called it) is to be found inside of the two quite different systems of word formation. Czech very rarely allows for pure zero derivation such as demonstrated in the English examples (1)-(2). Despite this major difference, even Czech language being still a highly inflectional language with rich case, number and declension system and agreement, nevertheless more and more allows for similar word formations typical for English with a true zero affixation, e. g. tunnel > to tunnel : Cz tunel > tunelovat and this process is an integral part of the grammar because it includes even the category of verbal aspect deriving also the perfective forms and negated verbs such as nevytunelovalo pen{\´i}ze, ve snaze "politicky korektně" uct{\´i}t Havlovu pam{\´a}tku jednotliv{\´i} ministři česk{\´e} vl{\´a}dy přisl{\´i}bili, že přestanou tento st{\´a}t vykr{\´a}dat a tunelovat, tedy alespoň do zač{\´a}tku př{\´i}št{\´i}ho roku; Nov{\´e} veden{\´i} Obce spisovatelů a jeho sekretari{\´a}t nevytunelovalo pen{\´i}ze Obce spisovatelů, vždyť nebylo ani co tunelovat, naopak zachr{\´a}nilo tuto organizaci před t{\´e}měř nezvratn{\´y}m koncem (ČNK. Last accessed July 10, 2018). Thus conversion is becoming more and more an important process of word and form formation in the system of Czech word formation and morphology. One critical observation remains to be mentioned: The book is solid but in a certain sense restricted to just functional approaches not considering or even including the important contribution of alternative approaches in formal linguistics. Thus, mainstream generative syntax, based on the theory of government and binding or minimalism (introduced by Noam Chomsky in 1981 and 1995), are not reviewed in this book even though there are many allusions including the important role of syntax for word formation (this is an important demand on any theory of word formation, cf. also Dokulil, M. 1962. K vz{\´a}jemn{\´e}mu poměru slovotvorby a skladby. In Acta Universitatis Carolinae: SLAVICA PRAGENSIA IV, 369-375. UK, Praha). Most of the recent work devoted to a theoretical approach of minimalism considers conversion as a "syntactic decomposition" based on root semantics (cf. e. g. Borer, H. 2005. In name only: Structuring sense Vol. I. \& The normal course of events: Structuring sense Vol. II. Oxford; Harley, H. \& R. Noyer. 1999. State-of-the article: Distributed Morphology. In GLOT 4. 3-9; Halle, M. \& A. Marantz. 1993. Distributed morphology and the pieces of inflection. In Keyser, S. J. \& K. Hale (eds.), The view from Building 20, 111-176. Cambridge.). A recent development in minimalism is the concept of roots and categorial features (cf. Panagiotidis, Ph. 2014. Categorial Features. A Generative Theory of Word Class Categories. Cambridge.). This theory differentiates between so-called true "denominal verbs tape-type verbs" as opposed to those verbs which are "directly derived from a root hammer-type". The structural differences between them are argued by Panagiotidis (2014: 63) "to account for the idiosyncratic meaning of the latter, as opposed to the predictable and systematic meaning of the former". The two types are demonstrated under (3) vs. (4) (3) nP vP / \ / \ N HAMMER v xP / \ HAMMER x (Panagiotidis op. cit., 2014: 63) In (3) to the left, the nominalizer head n takes a root complement, nominalizing it syntactically. In the tree to the right, the root h a m m e r is a manner adjunct to an xP (schematically rendered) inside the vP. On the other hand, verbs like tape behave differently. They seem to be truly denominal, formed by converting a noun into a verb, by recategorizing the noun and not by categorizing a root. By hypothesis, the verbalizing head takes as its complement a structure that already contains a noun - that is, an nP in which the root tape has already been nominalized: (4) nP vP / \ / \ N TAPE v xP / \ np. X / \ n TAPE (Panagiotidis 2014:63) As opposed to this approach, the present monograph uses the term "transpozice" ('transposition') as the change of parts of speech of different classes by the means of konverze ('conversion') (chapter 8, 151-201). We will just mention one typical class or type of such conversions as given under (5) and (6): (5) kapř / \ Kapř {\´i} (BSJK,156) (6) v{\´y}lov [vylovit] / \ v{\´y} [vy] lov [lovit] (BSJK, 180) In summary, I would see the great merit of the publication especially in a new view on ancient phenomena. Additionally, the work also excels in a thorough multi-level analysis of conversion, transposition and transflexion, including consideration of morphonological alternations and differences of semantic interpretation by adding or removing a specific onomasiological feature (according to the onomasiological word formation theory of Dokulil, M. 1962. Tvořen{\´i} slov v češtině. Teorie odvozov{\´a}n{\´i} slov. Praha.). Above all, I value the book because of its consistent insistence on the role of shaping for conversion as a part of morphology (form formation). I also think that conversion will play an increasingly important role in the further development of the Czech language, both for system external reasons, as a language contact phenomenon for English, but also for system inherent reasons, triggered and flanked by the tendency towards analytism and simplification, and finally the gradual reduction of the complex inflectional system of nouns and verbs. For the theoretical linguist, this book may not be a substitute for word-formation theories such as Marchand, op. cit. (1969) or Dokulil, op. cit. (1962, 1968); but it is a very stimulating and original study in which a more thorough reading could lead to a differentiated view than that given here, showing the differences between a true zero-derivative language such as English based on a more elaborated morpho-syntactic generative theory of root semantics by Panagiotidis (2014) in which the term conversion is very different from that presented in Bednař{\´i}kov{\´a}s book (see Examples 1 and 2), and a derivational language such as Czech with additional affixes and other word-forming means more clearly. The author is to be recommended for bridging the gap with traditional (and, in my view, not negligible) theories and newer views.

Two accounts are examined: (a) a language-specific account, according to which language selection considers the activation level of words of the intended language only (i.e., language co-activation without language competition), and (b) a language non-specific account, where activated words from both the intended and non-intended languages compete for selection (i.e., language co-activation with language competition). Results showed that, in both groups, all three languages competed for selection and that selection was achieved by inhibiting the currently non-relevant languages. Moreover, extending findings from previous research, the study reveals that, in both Experiments 1 and 2, the amount of inhibition was influenced not only by language proficiency but also by the typological similarity between languages. Overall, the study shows that language switching performance can be accounted for by a strategic and flexible inhibitory account. In particular, the controlling system is "strategic" in the sense that it aims at preventing potential conflicting situations, such as typological closeness between languages, and it is "flexible" in that it adjusts languages' activation levels, depending on the conflict to be solved.}, language = {en} } @misc{ZakariasKellySailsetal.2019, author = {Zakarias, Lilla and Kelly, Helen and Sails, Christos and Code, Chris}, title = {The methodological quality of short-term/working memory treatments in poststroke aphasia}, series = {Journal of speech, language, and hearing research}, volume = {62}, journal = {Journal of speech, language, and hearing research}, number = {6}, publisher = {American Speech-Language-Hearing Assoc.}, address = {Rockville}, issn = {1092-4388}, doi = {10.1044/2018_JSLHR-L-18-0057}, pages = {1979 -- 2001}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Purpose: The aims of this systematic review are to provide a critical overview of short-term memory (STM) and working memory (WM) treatments in stroke aphasia and to systematically evaluate the internal and external validity of STM/WM treatments. Method: A systematic search was conducted in February 2014 and then updated in December 2016 using 13 electronic databases. We provided descriptive characteristics of the included studies and assessed their methodological quality using the Risk of Bias in N-of-1 Trials quantitative scale (Tate et al., 2015), which was completed by 2 independent raters. Results: The systematic search and inclusion/exclusion procedure yielded 17 single-case or case-series studies with 37 participants for inclusion. Nine studies targeted auditory STM consisting of repetition and/or recognition tasks, whereas 8 targeted attention and WM, such as attention process training including n-back tasks with shapes and clock faces as well as mental math tasks. In terms of their methodological quality, quality scores on the Risk of Bias in N-of-1 Trials scale ranged from 4 to 17 (M = 9.5) on a 0-30 scale, indicating a high risk of bias in the reviewed studies. Effects of treatment were most frequently assessed on STM, WM, and spoken language comprehension. Transfer effects on communication and memory in activities of daily living were tested in only 5 studies. Conclusions: Methodological limitations of the reviewed studies make it difficult, at present, to draw firm conclusions about the effects of STM/WM treatments in poststroke aphasia. Further studies with more rigorous methodology and stronger experimental control are needed to determine the beneficial effects of this type of intervention. To understand the underlying mechanisms of STM/WM treatment effects and how they relate to language functioning, a careful choice of outcome measures and specific hypotheses about potential improvements on these measures are required. Future studies need to include outcome measures of memory functioning in everyday life and psychosocial functioning more generally to demonstrate the ecological validity of STM and WM treatments.}, language = {en} } @article{CreetMorrisHowardetal.2019, author = {Creet, Ella and Morris, Julie and Howard, David and Nickels, Lyndsey}, title = {Name it again! investigating the effects of repeated naming attempts in aphasia}, series = {Aphasiology : an international, interdisciplinary journal}, volume = {33}, journal = {Aphasiology : an international, interdisciplinary journal}, number = {10}, publisher = {Routledge, Taylor \& Francis Group}, address = {Abingdon}, issn = {0268-7038}, doi = {10.1080/02687038.2019.1622352}, pages = {1202 -- 1226}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{Michl2019, author = {Michl, Diana}, title = {Speedy Metonymy, Tricky Metaphor, Irrelevant Compositionality: How Nonliteralness Affects Idioms in Reading and Rating}, series = {Journal of psycholinguistic research}, volume = {48}, journal = {Journal of psycholinguistic research}, number = {6}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {New York}, issn = {0090-6905}, doi = {10.1007/s10936-019-09658-7}, pages = {1285 -- 1310}, year = {2019}, abstract = {It is widely acknowledged that fixed expressions such as idioms have a processing advantage over non-idiomatic language.

Theoretical and empirical findings suggest that metonymies are easier to process than metaphors but it is unclear whether this applies to idioms. Two self-paced reading experiments test whether metonymic, metaphoric, or literal idioms have a greater processing advantage over non-idiomatic control sentences, and whether this is caused by varying nonliteralness. Both studies find that metonymic and literal idioms are read significantly faster than controls, while the advantage for metaphoric idioms is only tenuous. Only experiment 2 finds literal idioms to be read fastest of all. As compositionality of the idioms cannot account for these findings, some effect of nonliteralness is suggested, together with idiomaticity and the sentential context.}, language = {en} } @article{ReifegersteElinClahsen2018, author = {Reifegerste, Jana and Elin, Kirill and Clahsen, Harald}, title = {Persistent differences between native speakers and late bilinguals}, series = {Bilingualism : language and cognition}, volume = {22}, journal = {Bilingualism : language and cognition}, number = {3}, publisher = {Cambridge Univ.

The morphosyntactic phenomena explored are subject-verb Agreement, Tense/Time Reference, and Mood. Focusing on these phenomena allows us to investigate if recent hypotheses, originally developed in aphasia research, can also capture results related to AD. We tested the hypotheses discussed in Fyndanis, V., Manouilidou, C., Koufou, E., Karampekios, S., and Tsapakis, E. M. (2013).

Methods \& Procedures: Two sentence completion tasks testing the production of subject-verb Agreement, Tense/Time Reference, and Mood were administered to 16 Greek-speaking and 10 Italian-speaking individuals with mild-to-moderate AD, as well as to 16 Greek-speaking and 11 Italian-speaking neurologically intact individuals who were matched with the participants with AD on age and education. Mixed-effects models were fitted to the data. Outcomes \& Results: At the group level, both the Greek and Italian participants with AD performed worse than the controls. Both AD groups revealed selective patterns of morphosyntactic production (Greek: Agreement/Mood > Time Reference; Italian: Agreement > Time Reference > Mood). Past Reference and Future Reference did not dissociate in either of the two AD groups. Nevertheless, in all four participants with AD who showed dissociations, Past Reference was more impaired than Future Reference. Conclusions: The results indicate that the production of verb-related morphosyntactic categories can be impaired in mild-to-moderate AD. The different patterns observed in the two languages are partly attributable to the different way these languages encode Mood. The group results (of both the Greek-and Italian-speaking participants with AD) do not lend support to the PADILIH, whereas only the results of the Italian AD group are fully consistent with the IFIH. However, the individual data are consistent with the PADILIH, and the IFIH is informed by the present data and modified accordingly so that it can capture cross-linguistic patterns of morphosyntactic impairment.}, language = {en} } @article{HuckabeeMcIntoshFulleretal.2018, author = {Huckabee, Maggie-Lee and McIntosh, Theresa and Fuller, Laura and Curry, Morgan and Thomas, Paige and Walshe, Margaret and McCague, Ellen and Battel, Irene and Nogueira, Dalia and Frank, Ulrike and van den Engel-Hoek, Lenie and Sella-Weiss, Oshrat}, title = {The test of masticating and swallowing solids (TOMASS)}, series = {International Journal of language \& communicaton disorders}, volume = {53}, journal = {International Journal of language \& communicaton disorders}, number = {1}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Hoboken}, issn = {1368-2822}, doi = {10.1111/1460-6984.12332}, pages = {144 -- 156}, year = {2018}, abstract = {BackgroundClinical swallowing assessment is largely limited to qualitative assessment of behavioural observations.

Perception of rhythmic properties may rely on cognitive networks that are shared between the two domains.

To examine this possibility, the present study focuses on rhythmic grouping, which is assumed to be guided by a domain-general principle, the Iambic/Trochaic law, stating that sounds alternating in intensity are grouped as strong-weak, and sounds alternating in duration are grouped as weak-strong. German listeners completed a grouping task: They heard streams of syllables alternating in intensity, duration, or neither, and had to indicate whether they perceived a strong-weak or weak-strong pattern. Moreover, their music perception abilities were measured, and they filled out a questionnaire reporting their productive musical experience. Results showed that better musical rhythm perception - ability was associated with more consistent rhythmic grouping of speech, while melody perception - ability and productive musical experience were not.

Our findings thus support the view that production does not precede comprehension in the acquisition of focus. We tested participants speaking English, German, and French.
