Catastrophically Brilliant
What does it take to be genius? Save the world? Solve a math equation? Write a story? These are all options, but what happens when we find brilliance in things that aren't it, and fabricate something that was never meant to be? Is that brilliance? Or are we just catastrophic?
Cognitive Approaches to Pedagogical Grammar
In the last 25 years foreign language teaching has been able to increase its efficiency through an orientation towards authentic language materials, pragmatic language functions and interactive learning methods. However, so far foreign language teaching has lacked a sufficiently strong theoretical framework to support the teaching of language in all its aspects. Arguably, such a linguistic theory has to be usage-based and cognition-oriented. Since cognitive linguistics - and especially cognitive grammar - is concerned with conceptual issues against the larger background of human cognition and because it is based on actual language use, it becomes a powerful tool for dealing adequately with t...
The Right Periphery in L2 Chinese
The Right Periphery in L2 Chinese is among the first books to try to incorporate both advanced linguistic and acquisition perspectives to show how eight sentence-final particles are represented in English-speaking learners’ L2 Chinese. This book will inform researchers of the general construction of the right periphery in L2 grammars. Drawing on up-to-date theoretical frameworks and findings from advanced empirical studies, it sketches the general picture of the periphery that these particles occupy in English-Chinese interlanguages. Readers will grasp the problems and difficulties, and particularly the ambiguities, which learners of Chinese must grapple with in the process of acquiring sentence-final particles. Possible influential factors underlying the acquisition process are explicitly discussed as well. Researchers will also find insights in the advanced methodologies and statistics that are used to study Chinese. The book will be illuminating for researchers interested in SLA, linguists of generative theories, and educators teaching Chinese as a second/foreign language.
The Morderer’S Sacrifice
When Fay Garmone made the decision to save Lee Yellen, it brought her to a new world. A world both amazingand horrifying. Ensnared in the Morderers Sacrifice, a trapping and trying competition forcing her to hide everything in fear of her life while enduring the terrifying wait for the first sacrifice to take place, she discovered there existed things she never believed possible. After revealing the truth to Gladdimir Kwiloz, she finds herself struggling with the task of learning everything she can about this world, but when her search for knowledge unearths more information about the Morderers Sacrifice, including Jay Morderer himself, the competition takes a darker turn; The other team attempts to sabotage as they struggle to remain competing; Lee Yellen, her deadly rival, now has more dire reason to end her life; and a few new faces bring her deeper into the mystery of Evans, Firky, Lyda, and Darr, as well as dark truths going on behind the scenes of the game. But amidst the fear, even above her struggling family and living with her enemy, Fay faces her greatest battle as she may discover the one thing she cannot live without.
Handbook of Japanese Psycholinguistics
The studies of the Japanese language and psycholinguistics have advanced quite significantly in the last half century thanks to the progress in the study of cognition and brain mechanisms associated with language acquisition, use, and disorders, and in particular, because of technological developments in experimental techniques employed in psycholinguistic studies. This volume contains 18 chapters that discuss our brain functions, specifically, the process of Japanese language acquisition - how we acquire/learn the Japanese language as a first/second language - and the mechanism of Japanese language perception and production - how we comprehend/produce the Japanese language. In turn we addre...
Language in the Context of Use
The volume explores key convergences between cognitive and discourse approaches to language and language learning, both first and second. The emphasis is on the role of language as it is used in everyday interaction and as it reflects everyday cognition. The contributors share a usage-based perspective on language - whether they are examining grammar or metaphor or interactional dynamics - which situates language as part of a broader range of systems which underlie the organization of social life and human thought. While sharing fundamental assumptions about language, the particulars of the areas of inquiry and emphases of those engaged in discourse analysis versus cognitive linguistics are ...
Frequency Effects In Instructed Second Language Acquisition
Based on a state-of-the-art review of prior research in all related domains, this book makes precise predictions about the expected effects of specific type and token frequency distributions in input floods and tests these in the second language classroom context.
