A replication study on the intuitiveness of programming language syntax
2023
AbstractIn this article, we present a replication of an empirical experiment that evaluates intuitiveness and comprehensibility of keywords relating to different concepts in programming languages, originally conducted by Stefik and Gellenbeck. Novice programmers face many barriers when learning programming. One of these barriers is syntax, which for many languages is not designed based on empirical evidence. The purpose of the experiment was to provide more empirical evidence on the subject, to find out if the results of the original experiment can be replicated and if conducting the experiment in an environment where English is not the native language affects the results. The results of ou…
The article a(n) in English quantifying expressions: A default marker of cardinality
2020
Certain English quantificational expressions feature what appears to be an indefinite article, e.g. 'a bunch, a few, a hundred'. These can be divided into three types of quantifying expressions: pseudopartitives ('a lot, a bunch, a ton'), article-requiring quantifiers ('a few, a couple, a hundred'), and article-free quantifiers ('three, many, several'); article-free quantifiers have an article under certain circumstances, e.g. modification by an adjective ('a surprising 30 …'). While standard analyses would take the article in these expressions to be a D head, it is argued here that the article is not in D, nor is it singular or count, as evidenced by its (lack of an) interaction with verba…

Reading Comprehension in Both Spanish and English as a Foreign Language by High School Spanish Students
2022
Several studies have highlighted that reading comprehension is determined by different linguistic skills: semantics, syntax, and morphology, in addition to one’s own competence in reading fluency (accuracy, speed, and prosody). On the other hand, according to the Linguistic Interdependence Hypothesis, linguistic skills developed in one’s own native language (L1) facilitate the development of these skills in a second one (L2). In this study, we wanted to explore the linguistic abilities that determine reading comprehension in Spanish (L1) and in English (L2) in Secondary Education students. To do this, 73 Secondary Education Students (1st and 3rd year) participated in this study. The student…

Morphologie und Syntax im Projekt ALD-DM
2017
Quest'articolo prende l'avvio dal contributo presentato al VI Colloquium Retoromanistich (cf. Bauer 2016) e offre un'analisi linguistica tra le varietà ladine e la quantificazione statistica degli aspetti morfologici e sintattici secondo il quadro teorico del progetto ALD-DM (Università di Salisburgo). All'interno del progetto, l'interpretazione fonetica e lessicale sulla base delle carte dell'atlante del ladino dolomitico (ALD) è invece già stata completata (pubblicazione della prima parte: 1998; della seconda parte: 2012). Dopo una breve introduzione al progetto, in quest'articolo si discutono tre aspetti morfosintattici (per es. l'omofonia delle desinenze verbali di terza persona singola…
Wh-Relative Clauses and Left Periphery from Latin to some Romance Languages
2011
The paper is organized as follows: after an introduction of the issue we will examine, in the first section we shall discuss the theory of the antisymmetry of syntax as specifically concerns relative clauses, evidencing also problems linked to the application of this theory to the syntax of relative clauses in Latin and in other Indo-European languages; the second section will present our first attempt at some analysis of the left periphery of the Proto-Indo-European sentence; in the third section we shall discuss the categorial status of the relative pronoun in Latin and we shall produce a model of the left periphery of the Latin subordinate clause, supplying examples taken from literary a…
Aspekt und Aktionsarten im heutigen Deutsch
2004
2ème édition en 2011; International audience; „Ich hab’ schon gegessen“, antwortet die Hübsche (und Schnöde) dem, der sie gerne zum Mittagessen einladen möchte. Auf welcher Seite in welcher Grammatik steht geschrieben, dass hier „ich aß schon“ gegen die Regeln verstößt – und gegen welche? Hat der Unterschied zwischen „kalt machen“ und „erkälten“, „abkühlen“ und „verkühlen“ etwas mit Grammatik zu tun – und wenn ja, dann was? Mit welchen Begriffen erfasst die Forschung solche linguistischen Sachverhalte? Dieser Band gibt Antwort auf derartige Fragen und bezieht dabei auch die Unterschiede zwischen der deutschen und der französischen Sprache mit in die Untersuchung ein. Das Buch geht aus einem…
