Latvian CDI: Methodology, developmental trends and cross-linguistic comparison
2019
This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in the Journal of Baltci Studies on 21 March 2019, available online: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01629778.2019.1590433. In this article, we report the results of a large-scale population study based on the Latvian adaptation of Communicative Development Inventories (CDI) – a parental report tool aimed at mapping the lexical and grammatical development of children under the age of three. Two CDI forms are discussed: CDI I: ‘Words and Gestures’ (8–16 months), and CDI II: ‘Words and Sentences’ (17–36 months). This article discusses the Internet-based methodology used for the data collection, reports the…

The acquisition of verb movement in first language acquisition : comparison of english and norwegian
2013
Master thesis in english- University of Agder 2013 In the previous sections I compared the findings of researchers studying several different child languages. One language, child English, does not provide compelling evidence of the presence of the functional layers during the early multi-word stage (1;6-2;0). Other languages, child French and German, provide strong evidence of the presence of one functional layer above the VP but no (child French) or only ambiguous tendencies regarding the presence of the second functional layer above the VP (child German). The third group of languages, child Swedish and child Norwegian, seem to show compelling evidence of the 71 presence of two functional …

Ideología y movimientos culturales: una nota sobre su influencia en la actividad lingüística
2015
Este trabajo está licenciado bajo la licencia Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Una vista de pájaro sobre los movimientos culturales en Latinoamérica y su recepción en España nos muestra que se fue pasando progresivamente de cierta preconcepción de que las naciones hispanohablantes de América debían necesariamente aceptar la supremacía cultural de España, fundada en su precedencia histórica, hasta un planteamiento más policéntrico en el que, poco a poco, se iba aceptando la autonomía de las naciones americanas, hasta culminar en el concepto de panhispanismo, que es estándar en nuestros días, al menos sobre el papel. El objetivo de este trabajo es hacer una cala en esta evolución cultural y m…
The development of the Englishbe+ V-ende/V-ingperiphrasis: from emphatic to progressive marker?
2014
Author's version of an article in the journal: English Language and Linguistics. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S1360674314000148 The article discusses the grammaticalization of the be + V-ende/V-ing periphrasis as a progressive marker. On the basis of quantitative data, it is claimed that the periphrasis started out as an emphatic alternative to the simple tenses. Its length, unusualness and optionality made it well suited as an emphatic marker. In the Early Modern English period (c. 1500–1700), the periphrasis was reinterpreted as an emphatic progressive marker. The prototypical – so-called focalized – use of the construction gradually became obligatory (f…
Secondary grammaticalization and the English adverbial -ly suffix
2015
Author's version of an article in the journal: Language sciences. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.langsci.2014.10.003 This paper discusses the secondary grammaticalization of the English adverbial -ly suffix and makes claims about the concept of secondary grammaticalization. Secondary grammaticalization is defined as the development of a new grammatical function in an already grammatical element. It is shown that the development of the -ly suffix involves a number of the processes which are associated with grammaticalization, e.g. paradigmatization, specialization, obligatorification, subjectification, layering and persistence. However, none of these proces…
Joint planning in conversations with a person with aphasia
2021
Abstract This study explores practices employed by a person with aphasia (PWA) and his wife to organize joint planning sequences and negotiate deontic rights (a participants' entitlement to initiate planning sequences and the entitlement to accept or reject a plan). We analyze two different conversations between a man with aphasia and his wife and their adult daughter. Using Conversation Analysis (CA), we identify practices that further the PWA's participation in the interaction while planning afternoon activities together with his wife. The PWA contributes to the planning talk by initiating and modifying planning sequences. The spouse supports his participation by aligning with his initiat…
Lexical and grammatical development in children at family risk of dyslexia from early childhood to school entry: a cross-lagged analysis.
2019
AbstractThe aim of this study was to examine (a) the development of vocabulary and grammar in children with family-risk (FR) of dyslexia and their peers with no such risk (NoFR) between ages 1;6 and 6;0, and (b) whether FR-status exerted an effect on the direction of temporal relationships between these two constructs. Groups were assessed at seven time-points using standardised tests and parental reports. Results indicated that although FR and NoFR children had a similar development in the earlier years, the FR group appeared to perform significantly more poorly on vocabulary at the end of the preschool period. Results showed no significant effect of FR status on the cross-lagged relations…
