Differentiation in language and gesture use during early bilingual development of hearing children of Deaf parents

2014

Hearing children of Deaf parents simultaneously acquire sign language and spoken language, which have many structural differences and represent two different modalities. We video-recorded eight children every six months between the ages of 12 and 24 months during three different play sessions: with their Deaf parent, with the Deaf parent and a hearing adult, and with a hearing adult alone. Additionally, we collected data on their vocabulary development in both sign language and spoken language. Children as young as 12 months old accommodated their language use according to the language(s) of their interlocutor(s). Additionally, the children used a manual modality that included gestures more…

The Abbo glossary in London, British Library, Cotton Domitian i

1990

The process through which glossaries came into being can sometimes still be seen and studied in surviving manuscripts, and in such cases it provides a valuable index to the way in which Latin texts were studied in medieval schools. This is the case with an unprinted glossary in London, British Library, Cotton Domitian i. The glossary is mainly made up of words taken from bk III of the Bella Parisiacae urbis by Abbo of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a work which was widely studied in English schools in the tenth and eleventh centuries, above all because of its unusual vocabulary. We know that Abbo drew the unusual vocabulary in his poem from pre-existing glossaries such as the Liber glossarum and t…

Research on children's lexical availability: applications for SFL teaching

2022

Esta investigación presenta la aportación que la disponibilidad léxica tiene en el marco de la enseñanza de Español como Lengua Extranjera y el ámbito infantil. Para poder desarrollar esta tarea se ha realizado una revisión bibliográfica sistemática que presenta a aquellos trabajos publicados sobre léxico disponible. A partir de los resultados obtenidos se ha observado una baja incidencia de investigaciones sobre ELE con población escolar (hasta 12 años), en comparación con corpus adultos. En segundo lugar, también se han localizado, a parte de los dieciséis centros de interés tradicionales, treinta áreas complementarias o novedosas que coinciden con las clasificaciones desarrolladas por el…

Describing the voice of online bullying: An analysis of stance and voice type in YouTube comments

2022

Abstract In this article, I analyze the expression of stance in YouTube comments responding to a speech by Greta Thunberg addressing the 2019 United Nations Climate Action Summit. I use quantitative and qualitative analysis of explicit stance features (including attitude markers, boosters, hedges, self-mentions, and reader addresses) in order to characterize the voice type that commenters construe and examine how this voice type potentially functions as a tool for social influence. The analysis shows that the comments include continual emphatic and emotive attitude marking, almost exclusively evaluating Thunberg herself (e.g., her authenticity, cognitive ability, gender and youth), rather t…

"I trust the printed ones more" : Finnish upper secondary school students’ use of print and electronic dictionaries

2017

Digitalisoituvassa maailmassa myös sanakirjat siirtyvät painetusta formaatista sähköiseen. Sähköisten sanakirjojen suureen suosioon vaikuttaa varsinkin niiden käyttömukavuus ja nopeus sekä niiden painettua sanakirjaa parempi saavutettavuus myös kodin ja koulun ulkopuolella esimerkiksi älypuhelimien sanakirjasovellusten avulla. Sähköisten sanakirjojen kirjo on kuitenkin suuri, eivätkä kaikki oppijoiden käyttämät sanakirjat ole käyneet läpi minkäänlaista asiantuntija-arviointia. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää suomalaisten lukiolaisten painettujen ja sähköisten englannin sanakirjojen käyttöä. Tutkielman aineisto kerättiin kyselylomakkeella, jossa kysyttiin, kuinka usein ja millais…

Drama as a method of teaching EFL vocabulary : a material package for lower secondary school teachers

2017

Perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelman perusteiden (2014) mukaan vieraan kielen opetuksessa ”leikin, laulun, pelillisyyden ja draaman avulla oppilaat saavat mahdollisuuden kokeilla kasvavaa kielitaitoaan ja käsitellä myös asenteita”. Monille vieraiden kielten opettajille draama on kuitenkin kohtuullisen vieras työkalu eikä sen sovellusmahdollisuuksia tunneta. Tämä materiaalipaketti onkin suunnattu yläkoulun englannin opettajille resurssipankiksi englannin sanaston opettamiseen draamakasvatuksen keinoja hyödyntäen. Kohderyhmäksi valikoituivat yläkouluikäiset nuoret, koska heillä on käytännön kielitaitoa jo sen verran, että he pystyvät toimimaan draamassa ja kommunikoimaan spontaanisti. Teoriaosio…

A disponibilidade léxica dos estudantes de educação secundária de valência

2019

This research focuses on another research conducted in a bilingual educational context between Spanish and Valencian, with secondary school students, as is the case in the city of Valencia. In this context, the influence of the Valencian language is not as strong as in other areas of the Valencian Community, due to the presence of second and third generation speakers from Spanish-speaking contexts. In this way, we aim to check if the modality of schooling, carried out by students at the beginning and end of the secondary stage, between the Teaching Program in Valencian and the Progressive Incorporation Program, has some influence on their vocabulary available in Spanish.

Medical English in Italian University Courses in Sports Sciences: Some Issues in Focus

2014

Over the last few decades, the increasingly rapid progress of medical science and technology, together with the growing importance of English as the language of international communication, has made the study of medical English a crucial segment in the curriculum of medical undergraduates. In Italy, medical topics are studied not only in medical degree courses but also in those of sports sciences. This paper focuses attention on some medical English-related issues in sports sciences degree courses in Italian universities. More precisely, the work is divided into four main parts. The first part raises the terminological question concerning the denomination of the discipline “lingua inglese”/…
