This book was released on 2012 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Issues concerning first language influence have been perpetually discussed in connection with the acquisition of a target language. This research focuses on first language (L1 - Malay) influence on the acquisition of a second language (L2 - English). It deals with the significance of learners' L1 in the written production of L2. In particular, this research deals with the use of L1 present tense by Malay speakers when writing in the target language. Data was collected in the form of written output from young adult Malay English as second language users. To facilitate comparisons of the two languages, participants were requested to compose essays in both Malay and English. The samples of students' written forms came from 2 levels: lower intermediate and advance users of English as a second language. Content analysis was thoroughly carried out by determining 'obligatory occasions' or 'obligatory contexts' in the written corpus. In this study, obligatory occasions for the temporal forms are defined as occasions in which only the correct temporal form is acceptable. An error in a student's written text refers to the occasion when the required forms are not used. The result of the study shows that the use of temporal word markers in Malay present time forms interfere with the acquisition of English present tense. Several temporal issues need to be considered closely by language instructors. The study suggests that the teaching and learning of English will be more effective when knowledge of the differences between the two languages, Malay and English, can be applied by both the learners and the instructors.

Book excerpt: Evolving Identities is an analysis of the English language in two historically-linked Southeast nation states, Singapore and Malaysia. It details what it means to use English as an everyday language in these countries, and as the medium of international currency at the same time. Written by leading practitioners, the volume is organised in terms of three broad perspectives: macro-linguistic issues, micro-linguistic ones, and the wider implications for recording descriptive (and prescriptive) norms in the dictionary -- since it is the role of the dictionary to record the language. This book will appeal to those who have the vested interest of understanding the nature of linguistic hybridity and resolving its use in both local and global settings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent developments in contact linguistics suggest considerable overlap of branches such as historical linguistics, variationist sociolinguistics, pidgin/creole linguistics, language acquisition, etc. This book highlights the complexity of contact-induced language change throughout the history of English by bringing together cutting-edge research from these fields. Special focus is on recent debates surrounding substratal influence in earlier forms of English (particularly Celtic influence in Old English), on language shift processes (the formation of Irish and overseas varieties) but also on dialects in contact, the contact origins of Standard English, the notion of new epicentres in World English, the role of children and adults in language change as well as transfer and language learning. With contributions from leading experts, the book offers fresh and exciting perspectives for research and is at the same time an up-to-date overview of the state of the art in the respective fields.

Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of Psycholinguistics written by Michael Spivey and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-20 with total page 1297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our ability to speak, write, understand speech and read is critical to our ability to function in today's society. As such, psycholinguistics, or the study of how humans learn and use language, is a central topic in cognitive science. This comprehensive handbook is a collection of chapters written not by practitioners in the field, who can summarize the work going on around them, but by trailblazers from a wide array of subfields, who have been shaping the field of psycholinguistics over the last decade. Some topics discussed include how children learn language, how average adults understand and produce language, how language is represented in the brain, how brain-damaged individuals perform in terms of their language abilities and computer-based models of language and meaning. This is required reading for advanced researchers, graduate students and upper-level undergraduates who are interested in the recent developments and the future of psycholinguistics.
