Yet, little is known about the processes involved in children's recognition of inflected words. To gain insight into how children process inflected words, the current study examines regular -t and irregular -n participles of German using the cross-modal priming technique testing 108 monolingual German-speaking children in two age groups (group I, mean age: 8;4, group II, mean age: 9;9) and a control group of.. adults. Although both age groups of children had the same full priming effect as adults for -t forms, only children of age group II showed an adult-like (partial) priming effect for -n participles. We argue that children (within the age range tested) employ the same mechanisms for regular inflection as adults but that the lexical retrieval processes required for irregular forms become more efficient when children get older.}, language = {en} } @misc{KrauseBoschClahsen2015, author = {Krause, Helena and Bosch, Sina and Clahsen, Harald}, title = {Morphosyntax in the bilingual mental lexicon}, series = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Humanwissenschaftliche Reihe}, journal = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Humanwissenschaftliche Reihe}, number = {520}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-41443}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-414431}, pages = {25}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Although morphosyntax has been identified as a major source of difficulty for adult (nonnative) language learners, most previous studies have examined a limited set of largely affix-based phenomena.

A functional relevance would imply a symmetrical relationship between the spatial concepts and words related to these concepts, showing that processing words activate the related spatial concepts on one hand, but also that an activation of the concepts will ease the retrieval of a related word on the other. For the latter, the rotation angle of participant's body position was manipulated either to an upright or a head-down tilted body position to activate the related spatial concept. Afterwards participants produced in a within-subject design previously memorized words of the concepts space, time and valence according to the pace of a metronome. All words were related either to the spatial concept UP or DOWN. The results including Bayesian analyses show (1) a significant interaction between body position and words using the concepts UP and DOWN literally, (2) a marginal significant interaction between body position and temporal words and (3) no effect between body position and valence words. However, post-hoc analyses suggest no difference between experiments. Thus, the authors concluded that integrating sensorimotor experiences is indeed of functional relevance for all three concepts of space, time and valence. However, the strength of this functional relevance depends on how close words are linked to mental concepts representing vertical space.}, language = {en} } @misc{Palm2007, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Palm, Mathias}, title = {Repraesentatio mundi - K{\"o}rperbezogene Repr{\"a}sentationsdiskurse in Epicedien Johann von Bessers : K{\"o}rperbilder im Gelegenheitsschrifttum des 17.

Die Analyse geht von der „Frage nach der Funktionsweise und den rhetorisch geschaffenen imagin{\"a}ren Vorstellungen von K{\"o}rper" aus und nimmt dabei auch die Zweckgebundenheit dieser literarischen Textsorte, den rhetorischen ‚Bauplan' und die sozialgeschichtlich-anthropologischen Konzepte ‚Repr{\"a}sentation' und ‚K{\"o}rper' in den Blick. Da ein literaturwissenschaftlich nutzbares Repr{\"a}sentationskonzept bisher nicht eingef{\"u}hrt ist, geht es nicht zuletzt um die methodisch angemessene Installierung dieses Ansatzes f{\"u}r die literaturwissenschaftliche Arbeit durch eine interdisziplin{\"a}re Verkn{\"u}pfung der Textwissenschaften mit Aspekten der Kunstgeschichte, der {\"A}sthetik, der allgemeinen und Landesgeschichte sowie der Staatstheorie, Philosophie und Theologie. Vier Epicedien (Trauer-, Grab- und Trostgedicht) aus dem hinterlassenen Werk von Johann von Besser bilden die Basis f{\"u}r dieses Vorgehen. Vor dem Hintergrund der Ideengeschichte (M. Foucault), der Zeichentheorie, der Sozialgeschichte, der Historischen Anthropologie, der K{\"o}rpertheorie und anderen methodischen Ans{\"a}tzen werden sowohl Repr{\"a}sentation und K{\"o}rper als auch K{\"o}rper und literarischer (nach rhetorischem Bauplan ‚produzierter') Text zueinander geordnet. Auf dieser Grundlage werden andere Bereiche des Diskurses angew{\"a}hlt, etwa die Relation zwischen Repr{\"a}sentation und Zeremoniell, die latente ‚Entk{\"o}rperlichung' als prozessuales Resultat der gesellschaftlich-restriktiven Kommunikation (Affektdebatte) oder die Bedeutung des wahrnehmenden Blicks und des bewussten Sehens im Sinne einer Spiegelung des Wahrgenommenen und einer im Ergebnis gedoppelten Repr{\"a}sentation. Das Ziel der Arbeit erreicht die Bereitstellung von aus der Analyse extrahierten Inhalten des k{\"o}rperlichen Repr{\"a}sentationsdiskurses. Diese Inhalte stellen sich als problematisierbare Bestandteilsgruppen des Foucault'schen innersten Gesetzes repr{\"a}sentationsdiskursiver Ordnungen dar und bilden in sich abgrenzbare Analyseeinheiten im Sinne von Desiderata weiterer Arbeiten auf diesem Gebiet.}, language = {de} }
