The nature of the syllabic neighbourhood effect in French

2006

International audience; We investigated whether and how sublexical units such as phonological syllables mediate access to the lexicon in French visual word recognition. To do so, two lexical decision task (LDT) experiments examined the nature of the syllabic neighbourhood effect. In Experiments 1a and b, the number of higher frequency syllabic neighbours was manipulated while controlling for the first bigram. The results failed to show a pure syllabic neighbourhood effect. In Experiments 2a and b, syllabic neighbourhood and bigram frequency were factorially manipulated. The interaction showed that the syllabic neighbourhood effect was inhibitory when bigram frequency was high, whereas it wa…

The use of phonemic transcriptions as a teaching method and its effects on language learning outcomes

2009

 Kirjaimet ainoastaan kuvaavat kieltä. Äänteet ovat se, mitä todella kuulemme. Virheelliset ääntämistottumukset jättävät aivoihin harhaanjohtavia muistijälkiä ja edistävät näin väärinymmärrysten syntymistä. Tämä puolestaan voi johtaa siihen, että henkilö pidättäytyy puhumasta vierasta kieltä, minkä seurauksena on edistymisen hidastuminen. Oheisen tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää, voisiko foneettisen tarkekirjoituksen käytöllä opetusmenetelmänä olla myönteisiä vaikutuksia oppimistuloksiin. Tutkielmassa tarkastellaan oikeiden ääntämistottumusten roolia kieltenopiskelussa. Siinä luodaan myös katsaus aikaisempiin kokemuksin foneettisen tarkekirjoituksen pedagogisesta käytöstä. Lopuksi esi…

Second and foreign language fluency from a cognitive perspective : inefficiency and control of attention in lexical access

2017

The present dissertation focuses on the fluency of second and foreign language (L2). Second and foreign language use is often assessed by its fluency. However, the connections between language proficiency and fluency are far from clear. The fluency reasearch has tried to establish these connections, but results are varied. In the current thesis, this question is explored within the theoretical framework of Norman Segalowitz’s division of three types of fluency: cognitive, utterance, and perceived fluency. The overall proposition here is that in relation to L2 proficiency, cognitive fluency provides important insights. This is based on the theories of limited cognitive resources, which state…
